During the trip, Al-Alsun students interacted with the orphanage children by teaching them mini lessons and providing them with simple tests to check their understanding of the lessons.
The activities and the testing items prepared by Al-Alsun students were designed as a requirement of the ENG 441 course. The materials presented included activities in English and Arabic teaching the importance of healthy food, the basics of hygiene, basic expressions related to jobs and education, and terms used to describe nature and animals. The materials designed were donated to the orphanage.
The students also participated with the orphans in a sports competition after which they handed the winning children gifts that they brought along to the visit. The trip aimed at providing Al-Alsun students with a hands-on-experience in teaching and preparing test items while interacting with students of the orphanage. They showed great enthusiasm in the preparation and delivery of the teaching and testing materials. At the end of the trip, they expressed feelings of self-fulfillment and satisfaction as a result of serving the community at large.
