If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.
– Nelson Mandela

The area where the students face most of the problem is when it comes to speaking fluent English. They are not able to create proper sentences using the rules of Grammar. They lack the confidence to speak and have poor vocabulary. Hence, the course is called Spoken English everywhere as primary focus in the course is given on the Speaking aspect. Students from various areas like naranpura, navrangpura, satelite, paldi, maninagar and also some very far off areas come over to attend our classes.
Basic English Learners
Basic English Learners have a poor comprehension of spoken and written English. They are unable to construct sentences and converse in English. They make plenty of errors in spellings.
We begin by teaching them how to construct simple short sentences, learn simple words daily and encourage them to read short stories and other light material. They are thoroughly drilled in grammar so as to teach them English sentence structures. Within a period of two to four weeks they are able to come up to the level of an Intermediate level.
Intermediate English Learners
Intermediate English Learners can comprehend spoken and written English well. They also have a certain level of fluency in spoken language too. However there may be individual differences in their knowledge of English and fluency. They are quick learners if their classroom learning sessions are supplemented with extra reading at home. Teaching of grammar helps then to understand English language structures and reduce errors in sentences. Regular revision of grammar throughout the course helps to strengthen their knowledge of English.
