English Language Specialist Mindy Visser conducted a two-week intensive teacher training program for English Language teachers at the Ministry of Education in Bahrain. Throughout the program, participants explored techniques for vocabulary development, building strong readers, and developing reading materials for the classroom. Ms. Visser focused on the value of extensive reading for developing reading fluency outside the class and encouraged teachers to incorporate classroom-tested activities modeled during the program, to improve their students’ language literacy.
The Regional English Language Office partnered with the Ministry of Education to implement this program, which was attended by more than sixty teachers and took place at the Ministry’s training facility.
