Introduction
The main goal of the empowerment program is to inspire and educate students to be better prepared for the challenges of globalization. Although it is expected that many of the students participating in the program will not be able to discuss topics at high-level English, it is not an obstacle. Despite this limitation, the program is going to be successful due to several points.
Points of Success
Firstly, English practice is an essential part of the program. Engaging students in topic discussions will provide them with another opportunity for language immersion. Live communication with English-speaking group leaders will help them to acquire a better grasp of the language, which will facilitate their self-confidence. Secondly, it is important to create an amiable and psychologically comfortable atmosphere to ensure communication and exchange of opinions. Students will share their interests and goals in an environment of trust. Thirdly, since students are expected to develop a better understanding of critical thinking, which sometimes implies coping with a challenging situation, language limitation in its own right might provide a source for creative and critical thinking. Various techniques of non-verbal work could be used to develop critical thinking and leadership skills in particular.
Conclusion
Therefore, the low-level of the English language does not present a difficulty for those who want to communicate and broaden their horizons. The friendly and cooperative atmosphere will create a favorable environment for sharing personal experiences. Any existing limitations should inspire students to manage the situation, break the impasse, thus taking the first step to empowerment.
