I talk a lot about my interest in how people learn, and my desire to see people succeed in their learning. This is what inspired the research I did a while ago as part of an MA in Refugee Studies: how do people learn language, inside and outside the classroom, and how much do their social interactions help this along? It added to my passion about volunteering – so many people I spoke to had found volunteering gave them the stable situation and the confidence to improve their language skills.
