To Kim, he has come a long way as far as his English is concerned. Kim never did any English courses before starting with AMEP DL. He learned to speak English only through talking to his customers at work. So when he started the course his speaking was fairly functional but his objective was clear: to learn to read and write in English.
Nearly 6 months ago, Kim completed his Certificate of Spoken and Written English (CSWE) 1 and moved up to level 2. He is now able to read texts with around 300 words from Your Call level 2. “I am thrilled by what I have achieved with my reading and writing” Kim says.

Kim is dedicated to his learning even though the whole journey has not been easy. “I could have given up a number of times” Kim comments.
Kim and his wife migrated to Australia in 2013 and they both are working long hours. Kim is working in a restaurant as a chef and, sometimes by the time he gets back home, he is exhausted to do anything. Incredibly, he always overcomes barriers and gets himself ready 15 minutes before his lessons to do his spelling routine which has continued for the past two years throughout his DL course. Kim agrees that the individualised lessons and the extensive support definitely have pushed his boundary.

As Kim’s course is coming to an end, he acknowledges that where he completes the course is where he starts building his Australian dream with a strong sense of being confident and competent. His DL teacher, Michelle, cannot be happier to see that this program has helped Kim achieve his goals.
Congratulations to Kim and well done for working hard and staying focussed on your goals.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth congratulating. Great job Kim for overcoming the barriers of busyness, work and fatigue. Interested in how students work on improving their reading and writing skills?
