Job Description
1.Background and Justification The majority of Syrian refugee youths in Lebanon face barriers to accessing employment and are offered few skills-building opportunities as an alternative. These youths need a safe learning space that will equip them with tools to tackle these challenges and eventually earn a safe income, thereby helping them to rebuild their self-confidence. In Lebanon, English or French with Arabic are taught from early years in school and education is compulsory from the age of 6 to age 14, corresponding to the basic education cycle. In addition, and as a result of the Syrian crisis, the Accelerated Learning Program for Syrian children, incorporates Arabic, Math, Sciences and English (the second shift). Although foreign language instruction is another major barrier to the educational inclusion of Syrian refugees, it is also a barrier for Syrians accessing decent employment within Lebanon, as Lebanese enterprises’ competitiveness suffers from “gaps in terms of the ability to perform in a team, foreign language skills, professional communication skills, and problem solving skills," a World Bank 2012 reports concludes. The training here described focuses on the learning of Basic English language. English is the most commonly used language among foreign language speakers. Throughout the world, when people with different languages come together they commonly use English to communicate.Knowing English will render the person bilingual and increases his/her employability chances, particularly in Lebanon. The need for a Basic English Training was equally requested by several jobseekers of the IRC’s livelihoods centre, and especially by employers who see it as a requirement in the market and not as an option.Based on the above, this training is proposed for youth Lebanese residents and Syrian refugees living in the Akkar – Wadi Khaled region. 2.Learning Objectives and Delivery Methodology The Basic English training targets mainly absolute beginners in English who are considered as learners who have had no or very little English instruction.
