Language Service Support in the Community
The Oregon Rohingya Myanmar Muslim Society (ORMMS) provides language services aimed at supporting the community in Oregon, particularly those who speak the Rohingya language, a Chittagonian dialect spoken primarily by Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar.
These language services include translation, interpretation, and cultural support to help community members navigate daily life, access essential services, and overcome language barriers. By offering these services, ORMMS helps improve communication within the community and with local institutions, ensuring that the Rohingya people receive the assistance they need in their new environment.
ORMMS works to prevent language barriers in the community by providing translation and interpretation services to ensure clear communication between Rohingya, Myanmar, and other individuals and local institutions. ORMMS offers language support in key areas such as healthcare, education, legal services, and employment, helping community members navigate essential services. Additionally, the society offers language classes and connects individuals with bilingual peers to enhance language skills and cultural understanding. Through these efforts, ORMMS plays a vital role in bridging communication gaps, empowering the Rohingya, Myanmar, immigrants and refugees community to fully participate in their new environment.
ORMMS provides English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to help the Rohingya, Myanmar, all other immigrants and refugees community improve their language skills and better integrate into American society. These classes focus on practical communication skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing, tailored to the needs of adult learners. ORMMS creates a supportive learning environment where participants can build confidence in using English for everyday activities such as navigating healthcare, employment, and education. Through these ESL classes, ORMMS helps empower community members to thrive in their new environment and enhance their opportunities for success.
