AMMAN - For the 9th consecutive year, HE Dr. Talal
Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Digital
(TAG.GD), has participated in the opening ceremony of the English Language
Olympia ‘ELO 2025’, organized by MASA for International Exams (MIE), under the
patronage of Minister of Youth, HE Eng. Yazan Shdeifat.
This year, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh participated
via a pre-recorded speech delivered via Zoom, in which he expressed his pride
in the positive impact the Olympia created over the years in improving the
linguistic skills of the participants, affirming that this initiative is an
inspiring success story.
He further stated that the
English language is recognized as the first language of communication and
knowledge in the world; which means that learning English is a necessity,
noting that individuals should not only learn their mother language and
English, but should also seek to learn other languages.
For his part, the Olympia General Manager, Dr. Majed
Hamad, said that the ELO constitutes a very significant motivation for
participants to learn the language through non-traditional methods, create
innovative solutions to achieve this goal and improve the main four linguistic
skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening).
It is worth mentioning
that more than 1500 participants from various educational institutions around
the world took part in this year’s event.
The English Language
Olympia aims at promoting cultures, and improving creative and entrepreneurial
thinking skills among participants aged (6-17) years.
The ELO is composed of five
main sections including the English language test, teamwork, project,
theatrical performance and local community service.
TAG.GD’s constant patronage of this event and
throughout the past years underlines Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh’s belief in the concept
and objectives of the Olympia, which proved its success at a global level,
particularly its positive impact on teaching English.
