Sabita passes 3 exams
Sabita Radha, a care home assistant at Blandford Lodge Residential Home in Hayes, tasted success again in JGA’s Better English course having passed her third English Speaking Board exam in English for Speakers of Other Languages.
Sabita, originally from Mauritius, has now passed the exam at three different levels since joining her first Better English course. Her rapid improvement in speaking and understanding English has enabled her to communicate much more effectively with residents and staff at Blandford Lodge.
Mrs Luchman, Assistant Manager at Blandford Lodge, is very pleased with Sabita’s progress. "Sabita’s confidence in using her English has really improved. She is now much more involved with our residents. I’m comfortable to leave Sabita on her own, and really surprised with her improvement – she can even take messages effectively on the phone."
Sabita moved to the UK with her husband in 2006. She would like to continue to improve her English. "I enjoyed the classes. They have made me more confident and I like to speak to the residents at the care home."
