CONTRIBUTION IN LANGUAGE SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Current Scenario

Though students are studying in English medium and English as subject, spoken English among children is really a challenging task for students whose parents do not speak at home.

In a school, where most of the students study in the same class but the teachers change standard by standard. Different teachers use different pronunciation technique. Teachers who are from different geographical locality and bringing a consistence among them are a big task. Finally students have no clue which pronunciation to follow; finally they adopt the pronunciation which ever they find it comfortable. Teachers influence on proper pronunciation is limited.

Schools are following English book traditionally focused on grammar; very little focus is on spoken English.

The exam system in the English mainly focuses on written stuffs that are grammar only otherwise the lesson prose is again memorized and gets vomited.

Even the teaching of grammar is involved with lot of technicality rather than real life understanding of students’ perspective.

The approach

True spoken English is quite different from the kind of English we are learning at

school. What we are leaning at school is mostly written English, and not spoken

English. Generally, at school, we don’t even get to learn the real difference

between the two kinds of English.

The E-Kids English program make sure the students use a new way of learning

English using computer without deviating from the original British English accent.

The main focus is on Skill Development apart from learning English grammar in

fun ways.

• non-native speakers have serious difficulty to speak fluent English

• Conventional methods do not produce fluent English

• One-line English is not a fluent English

• Fluent English is spontaneous English

• Real English fluency only through English

Assessment Method

STUDENTS’ SPOKEN ENGLISH SKILL DEVELOPMENT TEST GUIDELINES

Marks allocation for Spoken E-Kids English

1. Student Projects ( Internal) = 25 marks

2. Students Project viva (External) = 25 marks

3. Oral Test = 50 marks

Total Marks = 100 marks

1. Student Projects ( Internal) Guidelines:

Students projects are must for E-KIDS Skill development curriculum. Students themselves find

new vocabularies, rhyming words, sentences on their own without getting any spoon feeding

notes. We used to call this technique as “Explore and Discover” mode. Explore & Discover

Mode is a method of absorbing new words, sentences permanently without memorizing any

vocabulary.

If you give spoon feeding information to children, they try to memorize words and sentences;

when students memorize they will easily forget in future. Instead, if we allow students to find


8

any word on their own as per our instruction (explore and discover method), they will

understand and easily put the words in their conscious mind and never forget. This is a unique

method to absorb vocabulary permanently like memorizing / understanding / accepting our

mother tongue vocabulary. When we learn our mother tongue we never memorize any

vocabulary. The marks will be allotted in the following categories. Students can take

vocabularies from their own subject books viz. science, social studies etc.

1. Presenting the project on time – Maximum (5) marks to be given to students who

present the project on time; less marks to be given to students proportionally who are

late.

2. Reading Skill - Students have to read the project in the class room; teachers should

monitor the slang, pronunciation, syllables (A syllable is a unit of organization for a

sequence of speech sounds) etc. as trained by E-Kids.

3. Explanation & Application Skill - Students should give proper explanation of the

vocabulary or sentences when asked; and also they should know how to use the word in

the real life situation as far as application skill is concerned.

4. New Vocabularies - Encourage students to bring more new vocabularies; the maximum

(5) marks to be awarded those who bring more words; less marks to be given

proportionally to student who brings fewer vocabularies.

5. Innovation & Creativity – Maximum (5) marks to be given to students who present the

project with more innovation and creativity.

3. Oral Test Guidelines:

The oral test is a must for Spoken English and is an opportunity for kids to demonstrate their

knowledge, presentation /speaking skills, as well as their ability to communicate. The oral test

can be formal, or informal, but teachers should consider all exams formal exchanges in order to

make a good impression. For both types, students must listen carefully to the question, and

answer directly.

Formal exams follow a list of questions in a prepared format. The criteria for evaluation are

usually set in a right/wrong format, and can be competitive.

Informal exams are more open, students responses are usually longer, and evaluations can be

more subjective. Answers are often less exact (right/wrong), and value is added for problem

solving analysis and method, as well as interpersonal communication and presentation.

E-Kids follow the informal oral test for the Spoken E-Kids English Phase 1 and Phase 2

curriculum.

The marks will be allotted in the following categories.

1. Pronunciation

2. Body Language

3. Finding new vocabulary

4. English Slang / Style

5. Application ( application of vocabulary in a real life situation)

CONTRIBUTION IN KIDS EDUCATION / MATHEMATICS

Current scenario

The current scenarios of teaching mathematics in school level focuses on numbers, shapes, measurements etc and are taught to children in a progressive manner. However we do not have the in-built flexibility for slow, medium and fast learners. Lack of time & practice for students understands the fundamentals of mathematics as well as lack of time for teachers to teach the mathematics fundamentals.

The Approach

There is only one formula is to improve students’ mathematics skill: “THE MORE YOU PRACTICE THE MORE YOU EXCEL”. But students do not like to practice more problems in the work book or note. They hate doing things again and again. In order to bring interest among the learners, E-Kids has developed E-Kids Mathematics focusing on fundamental concepts using computer graphics and animation. These lessons are called digital lessons. In built E- Test / quiz programmes are part of the digital lessons. Montessori concepts have been incorporated along with ICT.

The purpose of E-Mathematics’ E-Test is to make sure students should solve a certain number of sums in a given specified timing. In this aspect students are asked to score 50 marks in 30 minutes time. In normal mode of solving problems using paper and pen, students may score at the


14

average of 15-20 sums in 30 minutes. However in E-Kids Test, they can double the accuracy and timing.

E-Kids’ digital transformation will positively impact learner enthusiasm, pedagogy, grades, general knowledge, value systems, ICT skills, communication, management and the school image globally.

Each digital lesson is structured into objectives, learner outcomes, contains built-in tests, digital manuals with simple navigation for sifting through text and animations.

The animations will help the students to understand the most complex mathematics concepts in a matter of minutes and in the process transfer the knowledge to most of the students in the class.

The lessons are contained in modules, which offer schools greater flexibility in selection and usage.

Module 1: Numbers (from STD 1 to STD- 8) Module 2: Measurements (from STD 1 to STD- 8) Module 3: Shapes (from STD 1 to STD- 8) Module 4: Algebra (from STD 1 to STD- 8) Module 5: Geometry (from STD 1 to STD- 8)

E-Kids categorize students as Fast Learners, Medium Learner, and Slow Learners. E-Kids does different strategy plan for each category and if necessary provide different curriculum in order to bring consistence among learners.


15

E-Kids put slow & medium learners in lower standards for a particular topic and asked them to complete the lower standard lesson and then ask them to do their regular standard lesson. However fast learners can do higher standard lessons and go beyond. For eg. Take fifth standard students. For fraction topic we can put slow learners in to standard 3 or 4 in order to understand the concept thoroughly and then asked them to proceed with standard 5 lesson of fraction. For fast learners, after finishing the standard 5 of fraction, they can even proceed to standard 6, 7 and 8. However if the students are really smart enough finishing all the lessons, then definitely E-Kids will provide more tough problems.
