LPC Impacts on Imams and Society


We feel proud The American Center Bangladesh, U.S.A Embassy Dhaka organized English Language Proficiency Training for Madrasha Teachers and Imams (Religious Leaders)
In the meantime LPC has successfully completed 2nd Batch where about 25 Imams. And about 100 Madrasha Teachers- Imams are waiting to Participate in 3rd Batch. We some of Imams are so lucky have got opportunity to Participate in this 08 months Training program in First Batch.
Before LPC most of Imams have very few knowledge in English Language so they don’t have any chance to gain proper knowledge on English book or reading English Newspapers, Magazine, English culture, Glorious History, Education, Social welfare activities and communicational skills, English teaching skills etc. Participating in LPC an Imam boost his confidence on the above skills to the society. He can perform easily in the Mosqoue, Madrasha and society. Imams are very glad by getting chance to improve them.
Once upon there was a negative mark in the society about America, It’s Culture and Muslims Community. But now a day all understand what America is wishing to Muslims community. The Religious leaders Imams are trying to change attitude of the society. Imams are delivering positive speech in the society About America, It’s Culture and Muslims Community. When they are giving KHUTBA in Jumma prayer, or any other occasion and gathering. It has possible for LPC because LPC is a great platform to meet and sharing information, knowledge, Idea, Teaching & Learning skills.
In a ward Imams are achieving a lot from LPC. Such as creative thinking, making dialogue, Teaching Skills. Communicative English, 4 skills of Learning English, How to make an English classroom successful, environment of English teaching, Preparing Lesson Plan, Talking in English with each others etc.
As an Imam and trainee of LPC I would like to express my views as “When I was without training English I did work experience working with children and I was really interested in how manage English environment. some of them found it very hard. I probably had more contact time than all my friends on other courses, which made it hard because I had to go in for classes and society more often, but I really enjoyed the placements and learning from LPC training. I’m currently spending my working in Nure Muhammadi Jame Mosque in Chandgaon, Chittagong As an Imam and Khatib, and also As a Madrasha Teacher I hope to work with a lot of students in my Madrasha specialised on English Language Proficency which is helping my students vigorously to prepare them for 21st centry devlopment skills to goal’’
The LPC is based on a spiral curriculum, meaning trainees are introduced to all aspects of English teaching and communicating in english of the course which is suitable for Madrasha Teachers and Imams and revisit them with increasing complexity in Future. There is no doubt that under direct supervision of our honourbale Trainer LPC course contains a great advantage for the Teachers and Imams.
For giving us a great opportunity to Particpate in LPC I would like to pay a gratitude & many thanks to Honourable Director, Coordinators, Trainers, all officials of The American Center Bangladesh, and U.S.A Embassy Dhaka especially to Mr. Jabed, Mrs. Sabreen S. Rahman, and Mr. Abu Ala Md. Hosham Uddin Sir.
