I was a teacher in Wete, Pemba.  In my experience students very much wanted to learn English, but a main challenge was the language change from Kiswahili to English between Primary and Secondary school.  This was very difficult and intimidating for students.  Also, even many of the English teachers had trouble with English.

Changing the full education system will be hard, but having extra tutoring programs for english will be very helpful for students.  I applaud The English Improvement Centre for their efforts!

Mimi ni mwalimu wa Wete, Pemba. Katika wanafunzi wangu na uzoefu sana alitaka kujifunza Kiingereza, lakini ni changamoto kubwa ilikuwa ya mabadiliko ya lugha ya Kiswahili na Kiingereza kutoka kati ya shule za msingi na sekondari. Hii ilikuwa ngumu sana na vitisho kwa wanafunzi. Pia, hata wengi wa walimu wa Kiingereza alikuwa na matatizo na Kiingereza.

Kubadilisha mfumo wa elimu kamili itakuwa ngumu, lakini baada ya mipango ya ziada Tutoring kwa kiingereza itakuwa ni ya manufaa sana kwa wanafunzi. Ninaupongeza ya Kiingereza Uboreshaji Kituo cha juhudi zao!
