No Gujalish, Speak in English....

Once again we have sharpen the blade of knowledge and are ready for 10 days English Training package for English Teachers of std.5^th to 7^th. English Resource Persons from each and every district attended the 2 days work shop on the training material-module.

The workshop was held in H.M.Patel English Institute at Vallabh Vidhyanagar.It is well-known place to get English Learning Training. We were happy to know that the training was held in H.M.Patel English Institute, Vidhyanagar because we took English Training 2 years back. But it was bad experience during these 3 days. The place they gave us to stay was dirty place. 3 teachers bed in a tiny dirty room. 3 toilet-3 bathroom blocks for 40-50 teachers. The food quantity was insufficient…in all these 3 days there was short supply of Rotis-“Chapati” and vegetables. It was bad experience of administration and coordination. The class rooms were also dirty and full of spider web. There was not sufficient chair to sit. They had chairs but due to dust and spider web it was unused. Let’s forget the bad experience with hope that now onward the department and host will think to provide the comfortable accommodations and quality food.

Beside Accommodations and the food the positive and attractive part was the training schedule, Experts quality, Rps interest to get training and provided material coordinate by Mr A.K.Patel, convener of English Teachers Training. Mr A.K.Patel designed the schedule by seeing all dimensions. The Rps got perfect training and had experience of all 10 days activities which will be done by teachers during training. We have Speech of great personality of world, Short stories, Skits (Dialogues) in Discourse, Rhymes, Action Songs, Language Games, Discussion points as worksheet, Prayers etc. in module –supporting material for training. We can say that if RP gives proper training to CRG and CRG gives without transmission loss to teachers by using each and every mints of the on air-off air mode will makes easy to learn English speaking. In this package there is chance to listen and feel the beauty of English in speech of great personalities of the world, Reading and Comprehension in Reading Task, Imagine and writing in Let’s Review, Speaking with imagination and understanding in different language games and short stories. During Discourse we gave skits to role play enjoyed with fun got chance to image and speak. We had 42 teachers in our class divided in five groups. We selected five teachers out of five group-gave a 5 mints to develop situation and they performed mind blowing. We gave chance to speak more and more in English in Discussion point’s session. We gave daily 2 points like – How is the first language leaning is different from the second language learning. Use the following points to discuss… A. Errors in speaking. B. Need to teach. C. Exposure should be provided E. Listen and understand. Mr Hemant Vaghela gave good knowledge on discussion of How is the modern technology used in English teaching and learning process?

All the Rps were active and approximately 10 to 15% Rps fluent in English speaking. The goal of 10 days training is to improve teacher’s English spoken skill and input reach environment. If teacher learn English in proper way they can use it in class and student can get benefits. Dr Rajendrasinh Jadeja gave fantastic lecture on LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND LANGUAGE LEARNING. We got the knowledge of acquisition and learning system of language, hurdles in English speaking and the techniques to learn and teach.

Its my request to all English teachers, CRCC, Rps and CRG to speak in English during training. Need not to concentrate on accuracy please try to improve fluency...Bate karo, dilse...bolo sab englishme... "Now gujju will speak in english instead of Gujalish....."
