Delight’s English Language Support for Ethiopian Applicants 🇪🇹📚

As an Ethiopian student planning to study at Delight Technical College in Nairobi, you may have concerns about transitioning to English, especially if your primary language is Amharic or another Ethiopian language. At Delight, we understand that language is key to your academic success, and we offer tailored support to ensure you thrive in your studies.

Here’s how Delight Technical College supports Ethiopian students with English language skills:

📚 1. English Language Bridging Program

Delight offers a bridging program for students who may need additional help with English before starting their technical courses. This program focuses on improving key areas such as:

• Reading comprehension
• Writing skills
• Listening and speaking
• Academic vocabulary

The bridging program is designed to help you gain the confidence and proficiency needed to fully participate in your courses, ensuring a smooth transition to studying in English.

🗣️ 2. English Communication Classes

If you are already proficient in basic English but need to enhance your communication skills, Delight provides English communication workshops. These classes focus on:

• Professional and academic writing (essays, reports, and project work)
• Presenting ideas clearly and effectively
• Engaging in group discussions and debates
• Improving listening skills for lectures and tutorials

These workshops are perfect for students looking to build their confidence in speaking, writing, and understanding English in an academic setting.

🧑‍🏫 3. On-Campus Language Support

Once you arrive in Nairobi, Delight offers ongoing on-campus support for students. This includes:

• Access to language tutors: For extra practice, Delight has experienced tutors available to assist with your English language development.
• Study groups: Join other Ethiopian and international students in study groups where you can practice English through conversation and collaborative learning.

🎧 4. Digital Resources for Self-Improvement

Delight also provides access to a range of online learning resources that can help you improve your English skills independently, such as:

• Interactive language platforms
• E-books and audio materials
• English language practice apps

These resources are accessible through Delight’s Wi-Fi-enabled innovation hubs and can be used at your own pace to boost your skills outside the classroom.

🗓️ 5. Orientation Program

Before classes begin, Delight organizes an orientation program where you’ll get:

• Guidelines on academic expectations in English
• Introduction to the learning resources available at the college
• Cultural adjustment support to help you acclimate to studying in a new environment

During orientation, there will also be language support sessions to ease your transition into English-based education.

🌍 6. Collaboration with Ethiopian Peers

One of the best ways to improve your English is by collaborating with fellow Ethiopian students and other international peers who are also in the same language learning process. Delight encourages group work, making it easier to practice speaking and writing in a relaxed setting.

✨ 7. Extra Support for Students with Specific Needs

If you have specific language-related challenges, Delight offers personalized learning plans. Whether you need more intensive practice or require assistance with specific areas (e.g., writing, grammar, or speaking), Delight’s staff is dedicated to helping you succeed.

🏅 Why This Matters:

• Full immersion in English: Studying in Kenya, where English is one of the official languages, gives you the unique opportunity to practice English in everyday life, not just the classroom.
• Academic success: Improved English proficiency enhances your ability to grasp course material, participate in discussions, and succeed in assignments and exams.
• Career opportunities: Strong English skills are highly valued in the Pan-African job market, ensuring you’re well-prepared for future employment.
