MUSINGS

When I first decided to plan for a workshop in Spoken English for PRTs, I was not
sure how it would be accepted by the teachers. Planning the time table was a big
challenge because three days is too short a time for such a venture. Moreover,
there is always the doubt, Have I bitten off more than I can chew?
The experience proved very rewarding on many fronts. The time and energy I had
to put into the planning so that the teachers would benefit made me mentally
active. Reviewing my knowledge and filling in gaps made me realize that a
teacher or a teacher trainer has to always update herself. The curiosity and
eagerness of the participants made me aware that I was doing something useful.
And finally of course the joy of meeting friends, new and old.
The three resource persons again inspired me by their enthusiasm, their knowledge
and their skill in handling the class. Of course, this three day workshop is only a
humble beginning. Many more such workshops will be needed for more teachers
to be covered and for brushing up and updating the knowledge of this group in
particular. Yet I am happy that the teachers have left with the awakening of
awareness that spoken English is also an integral part of their teaching of English
and requires planning, practice and dedication.

3 Day Workshop on Spoken English for PRTs / ZIET BBSR 9


SPOKEN ENGLISH FOR PRTs 15th to 17th JULY 2013
DAILY REPORTS
15.7.2013 The three day spoken English programme for PRTs started with the registration of 40
participants from 6 different regions of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The Deputy
Commissioner, Madam Usha Aswath Iyer, was the Course Director for the programme. She along
with her team of ZIET teachers were there to see that the programme started well. The training
began with a melodious Guru Vandana presented by Madam Samrajya Laxmi PGT-Physics ZIET
BBSR. Madam Usha Iyer then gave the welcome address to the gathering and explained in a
nutshell the importance of this training course for the primary teachers, explaining how the
teachers can easily improve the confidence level of the children to speak in English. It was indeed
inspiring.

Madam Usha Iyer took a class on phonetics, the most important aspect in spoken English. She
very clearly explained all the 24 consonants sounds and gave a thorough practice on it. The whole
class was lively. There was a ten minute tea break after which the class continued and Madam
helped the participants in the identification of words with difficult consonants. Then the
participants were engaged with worksheets for thorough practice. Thereafter a good number of
doubts were cleared. After the lunch break of one hour the afternoon session began at two pm.
Resource person Ms S.D.C.Francis, PGT English of KV INS Chilka gave practice of speaking through
a programme of extempore, where we were all divided into groups according to our regions and
several topics were assigned to us to prepare upon. Later on, from each group, a speaker was
selected to participate in the extempore on a new topic. After the tea break the extempore
activity continued. All the six speakers were judged and awarded points on different aspects like
content, fluency, accuracy and time limit.

The activity was exciting and effective as it gave 100% involvement of all the participants. The
session then came to an end with the declaration of results. Kolkata Region bagged the first
position and Bhubaneswar the second.

Reported by : Subashree Mohapatra (Bhubaneswar Region)

16.7.2013 The second day of the workshop had a soulful beginning with the assembly programme
conducted by the members of Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and Tinsukia. The first session for the day
began with a lesson on Vowel Sounds by the Course Director Madam Usha Iyer. She first dealt
with the pure vowel sounds and then in the next session she dealt with the vowel glides or
diphthongs. The teachers felt that this strengthened and improved their speaking skills and they
understood the use of correct pronunciation to make communication retain its fragrance.

An interactive session was held by Madam S.D.C.Francis, PGT English KV INS Chilka, on Stress
and Intonation. She elaborated through various examples on how one may lose the importance
3 Day Workshop on Spoken English for PRTs / ZIET BBSR 10
of the meaning of a sentence if a word or two is wrongly stressed. She also made us aware of the
fact that how we express our thoughts are more important than what we say. Group activity was
then carried out under the supervision of Ms Sushila Ramachandran, PGT English, KV No:1
Bhubaneswar. She provided the participants with a script for a skit and asked the participants to
enact it with Proper stress, intonation and pronunciation. It was a lively and hilarious session
where the teachers imitated the dialogues of a student and a teacher in conversation with each
other.

Post lunch session began with an interesting and highly interactive class on diphthongs delivered
by Madam Iyer. She clarified many concepts on the articulation of Diphthongs through
worksheets. Sufficient time was allotted for the practice of English Poem Recitation by different
groups thus leading towards the closure of the days programme.

Reported By: Milly Tanti (Kolkata Region)

17/07/13

The culminating day of the three days workshop on spoken English began with the morning
assembly which was conducted by three regions namely Kolkata, Silchar and Guwahati.

The morning session started on a very pleasant note as we were addressed by our highly revered
Course Director Ms. Usha Iyer, DC ZIET Bhubaneswar. She gave a brief outline of the days
activities. Group recitation competition was held in which all the six regions enthusiastically took
part. Thereafter the results were declared amidst a lot of clapping and cheering.

After the refreshing tea, an equally refreshing and interesting session on pronunciation was taken
up by our honourable resource person Mr. K.P. Dash. He pointed out the various nuances of
pronunciation. Believing in the dictum When you know better, you do better, he helped us to
pronounce those words correctly which we often mispronounce. It was indeed a very enriching
and valuable lesson for all of us. Thereafter, all the groups were assigned the task of listing out
the words which are difficult to pronounce from the English textbook of classes I-V.

Post lunch session began with drilling of the listed words with correct pronunciation. We had to
perform a lot of internal acrobatic feats with our tongue, teeth and palate, to pronounce the
words correctly, under the supervision of our highly esteemed Course Director and learned
resource persons. It was a highly enjoyable and beneficial exercise.

DAILY REPORTS
15.7.2013
The three day spoken English programme for PRTs started with the registration of 40 participants
from 6 different regions of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan. The Deputy Commissioner, Madam
Usha Aswath Iyer, was the Course Director for the programme. She along with her team of ZIET
teachers were there to see that the programme started well. The training began with a melodious
Guru Vandana presented by Madam Samrajya Laxmi PGT-Physics ZIET BBSR. Madam Usha Iyer
then gave the welcome address to the gathering and explained in a nutshell the importance of
this training course for the primary teachers, explaining how the teachers can easily improve the
confidence level of the children to speak in English. It was indeed inspiring.
Madam Usha Iyer took a class on phonetics, the most important aspect in spoken English. She
very clearly explained all the 24 consonants sounds and gave a thorough practice on it. The whole
class was lively. There was a ten minute tea break after which the class continued and Madam
helped the participants in the identification of words with difficult consonants. Then the
participants were engaged with worksheets for thorough practice. Thereafter a good number of
doubts were cleared. After the lunch break of one hour the afternoon session began at two pm.
Resource person Ms S.D.C.Francis, PGT English of KV INS Chilka gave practice of speaking through
a programme of extempore, where we were all divided into groups according to our regions and
several topics were assigned to us to prepare upon. Later on, from each group, a speaker was
selected to participate in the extempore on a new topic. After the tea break the extempore
activity continued. All the six speakers were judged and awarded points on different aspects like
content, fluency, accuracy and time limit.
The activity was exciting and effective as it gave 100% involvement of all the participants. The
session then came to an end with the declaration of results. Kolkata Region bagged the first
position and Bhubaneswar the second.

The second day of the workshop had a soulful beginning with the assembly programme
conducted by the members of Ranchi, Bhubaneswar and Tinsukia. The first session for the day
began with a lesson on Vowel Sounds by the Course Director Madam Usha Iyer. She first dealt
with the pure vowel sounds and then in the next session she dealt with the vowel glides or
diphthongs. The teachers felt that this strengthened and improved their speaking skills and they
understood the use of correct pronunciation to make communication retain its fragrance.
An interactive session was held by Madam S.D.C.Francis, PGT English KV INS Chilka, on Stress
and Intonation. She elaborated through various examples on how one may lose the importance

3 Day Workshop on Spoken English for PRTs / ZIET BBSR 36


of the meaning of a sentence if a word or two is wrongly stressed. She also made us aware of the
fact that how we express our thoughts are more important than what we say. Group activity was
then carried out under the supervision of Ms Sushila Ramachandran, PGT English, KV No:1
Bhubaneswar. She provided the participants with a script for a skit and asked the participants to
enact it with Proper stress, intonation and pronunciation. It was a lively and hilarious session
where the teachers imitated the dialogues of a student and a teacher in conversation with each
other.
Post lunch session began with an interesting and highly interactive class on diphthongs delivered
by Madam Iyer. She clarified many concepts on the articulation of Diphthongs through
worksheets. Sufficient time was allotted for the practice of English Poem Recitation by different
groups thus leading towards the closure of the days programme.
Reported By: Milly Tanti (Kolkata Region)
17/07/13
The culminating day of the three days workshop on spoken English began with the morning
assembly which was conducted by three regions namely Kolkata, Silchar and Guwahati.
The morning session started on a very pleasant note as we were addressed by our highly revered
Course Director Ms. Usha Iyer, DC ZIET Bhubaneswar. She gave a brief outline of the days
activities. Group recitation competition was held in which all the six regions enthusiastically took
part. Thereafter the results were declared amidst a lot of clapping and cheering.
After the refreshing tea, an equally refreshing and interesting session on pronunciation was taken
up by our honourable resource person Mr. K.P. Dash. He pointed out the various nuances of
pronunciation. Believing in the dictum When you know better, you do better, he helped us to
pronounce those words correctly which we often mispronounce. It was indeed a very enriching
and valuable lesson for all of us. Thereafter, all the groups were assigned the task of listing out
the words which are difficult to pronounce from the English textbook of classes I-V.
Post lunch session began with drilling of the listed words with correct pronunciation. We had to
perform a lot of internal acrobatic feats with our tongue, teeth and palate, to pronounce the
words correctly, under the supervision of our highly esteemed Course Director and learned
resource persons. It was a highly enjoyable and beneficial exercise.
The three days workshop came to an end with a befitting Valedictory function wherein
certificates and prizes were given after a short and sweet cultural programme.
