British teachers to equip Punjab teachers in English
WSN Network

CHANDIGARH: Under an agreement with the University of Wolver Hampton, now teachers from Britain will train class X teachers in Punjab government schools in teaching of the English language.

“We have already trained 42 teachers from the state in May. It was a ten-day camp in which our teachers went to local schools in Punjab and tried to explain the impor- tance of improving and perfecting English in teaching,” said Jasbir Singh, Principal Lecturer Overseas Development, University of Wolver Hampton, UK while speaking to the media ar Chandigarh Engineering College, Landran.

He said the main skill that they are trying to develop in teachers is communication methodology and how it can improve the learning process for students.

“We will be looking at classrooms, infrastructure, teaching skills, teaching systems, lesson plans, assessment. We want to improve the balance among the theoretical and practical portion of the learning methodology,” he informed.

This will improve the confidence level of students. The students will start communicating themselves, which will enhance their skills dramatically. This cur rently is a one-way process as teachers speak in English while students just listen and do not feel adept to interact.
