Sangem (Warangal): An innovative initiative of an English teacher in a State-run school in teaching English to the students has been proving to be a blessing for the students in rural areas. The teacher, called Shankarabaktula Satyam, serving as School Assistant at Zilla Parishad Secondary School at Mondrai village in Sangem mandal, has developed a cost-effective system to teach English to the students in an efficient manner.
Converting a class room at the School into English language laboratory, he created an environment where it made learning the language easier for students. Bilingual charts and diagrams painted in different colours on the walls of the class room helps students to master English quite easily.
The charts consists tables explaining verb forms, adjectives, tenses, genders, parts of speech and phonetics in easy manner and the students are becoming well versed in the language skills.
Having an experience of 24 plus years in teaching, Satyam said market is flooded with high-tech and costly learning tools to teach both basics and advanced language skills. “Our language laboratory is cost effective and is achieving amazing results.”
It is a better alternative to learn English grammar in comparison to most of the e-learning software which are inaccessible to the rural children. It helps students to master English and overcome fear, the main reason that deters students from learning the language.
Students could practice grammar rules even in the absence of teacher. The target group is students of VIII, IX and X standards, who could answer about 30 questions related to grammar in their final examinations, said Satyam.
“A teacher who is attempting to teach, without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn, is hammering on cold iron. The language charts at our school encourages students learning and grasping English quickly,” Satyam told The Hans India.
This method is helping the students to acquire English language skills on par with those of corporate schools. As many as 50 State-run schools across the district have adopted the system and the students are able to score better in their examinations.
“If this system is adopted in all government schools it could prove a real boon to students,” he added.
It was first started in 2011 while Satyam was serving at ZPSS at Penugonda village in Kesamudram mandal in the district with help of the teachers at the school and now he implemented the same at ZPSS Mondrai where he was transferred recently.
Satyam was honoured with the ‘Best Teacher Award’ in the year 2011 and in December 2015 honoured with Mahatma Jyotiba Phule National Fellowship for his outstanding contribution in the field of education.
