==== Demonstration of language lab in the cluster meeting: ====
Introducing Stories for language learning was the main objective in all the cluster meeting.
In that session we discussed what are the challenges what they find in their classroom. Most of the teachers responded very well and accepted that due to the lack of opportunities for social interactions and Learning deprivation as a result of nearly 2 years of school closures has led to student’s foundational language skills are being seriously impacted on the children. Migrant children- teachers finds difficult to engage those children as their home language is different from medium of instruction. To overcome all these challenges stories acts as a major role to bridge the gap in the language. Stories can be very useful in helping develop listening, speaking, reading and also develops thinking skills. Perhaps the Teachers were made to explore the Multilingual Language learning which was available in the KOER page. The teachers were able to access the stories in different languages (English, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu). One of the stories “Timmy and peppe” was demonstrated in the cluster meeting and discussed the importance of each slide in the project. Each story had multiple activities that a child had to perform such as listening to a story, try to read a story with the support of an audio, vocabulary related to a story, and few simple activities based on the story which gives immediate feedback to the child, where the child can try to attempt for correct response. The Multilingual language learning was available in both desktop and mobile version in the offline mode. The teachers were given a demo on usage of kiwix application in their smart phones and the teachers showed interest on the usage of it in their classrooms.
