We tried to give training from BISAG, the studio to reach teachers heart. Mr A.K.Patel , the convener of English guided us to make better than best. He created friendly atmosphere and kept us fresh all the way by motivating. Sri Komalben, the tutor of DCE, Gandhinagar, Sri Dharmesh Ramanuj, teacher of Machhipura Primary School and Sri Rakesh Patel, teacher of Navanadisar Primary School was the member of our 9 days on air training. Sr A.K.Patel discussed on ELT, Rakeshbhai discussed on all Text book based topics, Sri Komalben Discussed on Grammar, Sri Dharmeshbhai on Module based and I tried to coordinate the prgramme. Dr Vijay Sevak was one of our guest expert for 3 days who gave demonstration lesson and won the heart of all teachers by his own style. He has great method to teach English language. Dr Piyush Joshi, Coordinator of H.M.Patel Institute and Sri Sulabha NAtarajan of Vallabha Vidhyanagar also discussed on different activities in English teaching.

“In put rich Environment” was our basic goal of training. We prepared training material on spoken based with help teachers speak a lot. We told teachers to speak in English in their class. It was just to develop fluency. In module as training material We gave

Prayer, Action Songs, Rhymes to start day and giving singing experience of English. It is a kind of joyful, rhythmic activity that inspires them to learn.

Story time, Lets Discuss, Let’s review, Language games to give experience to develop Fluency, Confidence building for functional use of English, Understand and express ideas and develop insights. It was also for fluency practice.

Speeches of great personalities of world to give experience of Thinking and languages enrichment of the teachers.

We tried to give all kind of experience to speak in class. If teacher use all the tips and use the material in proper way they can speak English fluently.
