"My daughter speaks English but I don't want to wait for her to come with me if I want to buy something or do something. I want to be independent." -Manal, an English language student at @RefugeeAction

Refugees who are unable to speak English are becoming increasingly isolated, lonely and unable to work.

For many immigrants and refugees, language access is not just about employability and economic prospects, but about overcoming loneliness and isolation.
Interested in helping refugees and immigrants to develop vital language skills in Philadelphia? Volunteer to teach ESOL with us!

There are different aspects of language. Fluency and accuracy are two important ones. Correcting someone appropriately can help with accuracy, but too much needless correction hurts fluency. – at Kuta, Indonesia

Throughout history, #translators have been active agents of social and political change. They bring new ideas to the attention of readers and dominant language speakers and work as #intercultural #mediators and #activists.
