Language for Resilience, Jordan
Community Language Support
The Language for Resilience Programme (L4R) helps community centres in Jordan deliver high-quality English language programmes to marginalized and displaced youth through Community Language Support (CLS). CLS provides training, resources, and materials for community centres which offer English language training in various parts of Jordan.
In 2021/2022, CLS is expanding to work with hundreds to teachers working with students from different marginalised groups
It is part of the British Council’s wider L4R Programme which advocates for the importance of languages for access communities that have been displaced or affected by conflict, hostility or misunderstanding.

Through teacher training and support, L4R in Jordan allows young people in economically disadvantaged communities to develop their language ability and increase their personal agency.
For teachers, we offer
• The English for Teaching blended programme.
• The Language for Resilience blended teacher training programme, creating a trauma sensitive approach.
• Open access to classroom materials.
Nisreen, teacher of Syrian students:
‘Learning online also was great experience. I liked every single minute with our E-Moderator and have learnt lots of things from her and learnt many things from the other teachers in the course. This training has had a good impact on my teaching, I started to recognize new things and it helps me to use variety in teaching and learning new methods of teaching.’
