The Iraqi Ministries and organizations were pleased in having such a great interest in developing the government staffs and at the end of the courses, many ministries and directorates rewarded the top three trainees of each class, as an encouragement, for their hard study and for the obvious improvement in achieving their jobs. And for this project there was a record of more than 3500 applicants. 2800 applicants were accepted as trainees and 2756 graduated from the courses successfully. the total number of the classes was 131 courses in different levels and different locations; 89 class were trained for one level course which is called phase one; and the other 42 classes in level two.

For the trainers there was a big interest from TADRIB Iraq centre in directing them to make sure they applied the New Headway’s method properly. 18 well-experienced trainers were hired and they passed a TOT course for two weeks before they started instructing English. All the trainers who took part in IRMO project were carefully selected according to their English background and their English teaching experience. That’s why all the trainees were asking for more English training courses even those who passed courses phase two.

THE NEW HEADWAY is New Hope
“The English Language seems to play a great role in our daily life. It is one of the international languages we need these days.” On the first and last days of the English course, TADRIB Iraq attended to celebrate the graduation of the course.
Ahmed Salah, one of the outstanding trainees, said about the course “I enjoyed the method that trainer follows right from the first day of the course. She was just like an eldest sister for all of us” “We hope we can develop ourselves more and more”. Ali Ratha, another trainee said “the lessons have been presented to us in a very active and advanced methods and I have never thought that there are such ability in getting the proper information to the trainees in such a method.” And then he added “I thank Mr. Sattar who played a great role in this course and I would thank TADRIB Iraq Centre for this excellent work”. Then Sheeren Morad commented “the course has got a lot of activities and enthusiasm and it motivated me to learn and develop myself even more” THE NEW HEADWAY is New Hope “Going to the Ministry of higher education and scientific research in a journalistic duty, I had suffered from very cold weather but I was astonished to find some warmth in a class crowded with 15 trainees. Later I knew they were ready to receive the trainer right from the first lesson”.
Ali Murad, one of the trainees, said “Today we need the English language to be able to contact companies which will come to reconstruct Iraq and to receive the delegations in Baghdad. After the last war, an American delegation attended to the ministry of higher education and spoke with us, I couldn’t speak English then, and I went to a friend to know what the delegation said. But now I’m ready to communicate with anybody” The lesson continued and the trainees started talking as much as they could in English and at this point Riyadh Lateef, one of the trainees said “we are enjoying the course and to me I have got a very big benefit and we hop that we can keep up with Mr. Muhanned to stay on the same training style” and finally he said (I have to go to another new class at another ministry headquarter to teach the Intermediate level”

| The process of implementing the English training program faced some problems and obstacles. The training management had to take a quick and active role in solving the problems. These problems varied from one course to other mixing levels of trainees because there was not enough students in higher levels, the bad traffic, the bad security and moreover, some trainees had to do their jobs abroad during the course time. | |
|
TRAINEES’ LEVELS:
IACCI’s training management moved the trainees, whose course levels were higher or lower than the course they were having, to the levels they fit. All of the changes were reported to the training administration to be aware of everything happening within the training courses and take it into consideration in courses that followed.
BAD SECURITY AND TRAFFIC: As a result of bombs and terrorist actions, some trainees were not able to get to their classes at the ministries on time. Therefore, the training administration made use of hiring highly qualified and well-experienced English trainers, who reside at different areas in Baghdad. Thus, the courses were distributed to trainers according to the location of English course at the ministry and the destination where the trainers used to live. This step took part in solving the traffic and even security problems in Baghdad in general. After that, the timing of starting each class was guaranteed on time. OFFICIAL DUTIES: The trainers worked hard to cooperate with the trainees who had some official duties during the time of the course and inside the ministry or abroad by compensating them the subject they missed if their official duties don’t take long time if possible (sometimes it depends on how much subject they missed to be compensated and if they miss more than 2 or 3 units it will be very hard for them to cope with other trainees). THE CURFEW: The frequent times of occurring the curfew in Baghdad, or some parts of Baghdad, delayed achieving some of the courses as they were scheduled. |
|
| There are a lot of useful lessons learned from this project. It is very tangible that trainees had faith that Iraq is ranking highly in near future due to the hard work of English training achieved mostly by young trainers who have got a very unique style and method of instructing the lessons. The trainees believed in having a new and flourished Iraq with a hard work and cooperation of foreigners to rebuild Iraq and to rank it to the level of other democratic countries. Moreover, they have been sure that these training courses are considered to be the first step towards the success in life as long as they are going to apply what they have learned and then eradicate the feelings of inferiority concerning dealing with others in English. And in short, this project has granted hope and self-confidence and moreover the trainees have believed in other international organizations which really care about developing Iraqis which will be reflected on Iraq in return. | |
|
TIME FLEXIBILITY:
The security situation affects achieving works in time and there should be some flexibility in timing the courses duration
. TRAINING CURRICULUM: The New Headway is the best English curriculum taught in Iraq; however, unless students continue to higher levels and continue to practice most of the progress will be lost in time . TOT: was excellent, IACCI continued to train new trainers throughout the year to meet the demand reflects the hard work of TADRIB Iraq Centre. FOLLOW UP: Fallow up and monitoring is essential to insure high level of quality and consistency throughout the project. LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL: The training courses have given hope & optimism to the trainees to do a better job in their work, to be able to communicate with officials from other countries and to be able to go for training in other countries in their area of specialization.
SUGGESTIONS
FUNDING THE TRAINEES:
more effort and funds should be invested to train trainers outside Iraq in England or the US where they get firsthand experience talking with native English speakers
