| Students Gather at the American Corner in Qurghonteppa |
The English Reading Club at the American Corner in Qurghonteppa is an initiative of Zebo Murodova, alumna of the Fulbright and TEA programs.
Every Wednesday, students of different ages gather and are encouraged to read books from the American Corner. The books are chosen according to different dates, holidays, events, and themes.
After each book, students write a book report and discuss the lessons they learned. This process helps the students to develop their reading and listening skills and enlarge their vocabulary. After each book there are number of new words. Vocabulary games are played in order to reinforce the learned material.
Joining the club gives students an opportunity to not only enhance their critical thinking skills, but also provides an opportunity for individuals to foster relationships and belong to a group.
“Everything I know I learned from books” said Zebo Murodova.She has taken her love for books and used it to help spread Tajik culture; Murodova, along with students from Sarband, translated Tajik Folk Tales into English.
