Changes

The students returning to school have been out of school for several months and the majority of these months have been spent without any opportunities for formal learning or enrichment.  Helping students rebuild basic communicative competencies as well as regain working fluency in the first language and/ or medium of instruction is important.  Students will be introduced to the basic competencies of LSRW, through story-telling and conversational activities.  Students' participation and their work portfolios (which will be text-based as well as audio-visual and graphical) will be used to assess their language competencies as well.

English in India has become an aspirational issue in education determining opening or closing of schools, enrolment of government versus private schools and so on. Learning in mother tongue and the associated impact on learning skills and attainments in different fields is still being debated among educationists, it is also true that English proficiency still determines mobility and employment opportunities in many ways, for a combination of reasons.

It is against this backdrop that this course on English learning has been developed. The course has been developed as a series of course modules focusing on building language competencies in English as well as using English for learning.  These modules can be attempted in sequence or independently (assuming competencies  required prior to that module  have been reasonably attained).
