A CRISIS...or A CONSPIRACY?
- A student after 12 years of formal education in our schools...
- A student after 3000 hours of English classes...
- doesn't know how to make a sentence in English to express his/her needs or thoughts.
- doesn't know how to ask questions (Yes/No or Wh) using verbs like DO/DOES/ARE/IS/HAVE/HAS/WILL etc.
- doesn't know how to have conversations in English.
And to cut the story short...
Our students in schools are ILLITERATE in ENGLISH COMMUNICATION(EC) skills.
But the solution is very easy, simple and not at all expensive.
They can be taught the basic ideas(rules) of EC in less than 50 hours and that too without any text book; in place of exams or tests what works best are classroom games which can be used to assess the students' EC abilities in making sentences and speaking English.
For eg. The Five Point method can be used which is given here:
1.LOGIC OF ENGLISH SENTENCES
2.STRUCTURE OF ENGLISH SENTENCES
3.HOW TO USE VERBS
4.POLITE EXPRESSIONS
5.PRONUNCIATION AND VOCABULARY
For eg. The Five Point method can be used which is given here:
THE FIVE POINT APPROACH IN LEARNING AND TEACHING EC (ENGLISH COMMUNICATION)
You need to understand the importance of these five things to learn and train, practice and teach EC
1.LOGIC OF ENGLISH SENTENCES2.STRUCTURE OF ENGLISH SENTENCES
3.HOW TO USE VERBS
4.POLITE EXPRESSIONS
5.PRONUNCIATION AND VOCABULARY
So the big question is...
Why is this crisis happening?
Who is responsible?
And why nobody cares about it?
Who is responsible?
And why nobody cares about it?
Is there a conspiracy involved?
And what is the result?
GROWING UNEMPLOYMENT
YOUTH UNABLE TO GET JOBS IN INTERNATIONAL FIRMS
COMMON MAN/WOMAN HAVING NO VOICE IN THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD
And who benefits from this situation?
GROWING UNEMPLOYMENT
YOUTH UNABLE TO GET JOBS IN INTERNATIONAL FIRMS
COMMON MAN/WOMAN HAVING NO VOICE IN THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD
And who benefits from this situation?
Our rulers.
Our masters.
Our lawmakers.
Those who divide and rule...
Those who dislike questions...
Those who hate discussions...
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR HALF A CENTURY. WILL THERE BE A CHANGE NOW ?
WE CAN CHANGE OUR FUTURE IF WE CHANGE OUR SCHOOLS.
LET'S THINK BEYOND COMFORT ZONES. FOR OUR NEXT GENERATION.
THE SITUATION CRIES FOR A SOLUTION. LET'S WORK TOGETHER FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.
