Want your child to have command over Eng. language?

As part of providing global exposure to students, international schools train students to have a complete  command over English language. And they do this in a fun and interesting manner .

It is often said words are a powerful medium that can win hearts, stop rebels and help make peace between warriors. So it makes it vital for one to have not just command but good command over the language. And in today’s global world, English is what connect minds. This is one point where International schools do not have

any competition as the focus on perfecting the student’s language is very high. The question here is how do they

do help students impeccable in the English language.

Talk and walk English

In international schools, speaking English on the campus is a must rule. At home you may talk a different language, but in school nothing but English works. Again, the argument here could be most English medium schools in India follow this policy, so how does that set apart an international school? Here English is not forced into the student’s mouth, but presented in an interesting way to make them love the language. For instance, students of these schools are shown children’s movies in English languages.They are told stories in English language. All these fun activities make a student’s like the language instead of running away from it. As they are encouraged to watch English movies, students also learn to understand accent of various countries and continents. This in turn helps later in life while applying for jobs or settling in a western country. In the  current scenario, even a basic job requires the job seeker to be proficient in English.

Communication Workshops

Communication is an age old process and in the current world it goes much beyond just being able to put forth your ideas to another person. Today it is about articulating your talk and presenting them in a pleasant manner. In fact, even the painful of statements are told in a manner none can take offense at. International schools hold such workshops where students are given hands-on trainingon communicating with people in English. These workshops are use innovative and interesting methods to make the sessions fun for students. Most often, it may have practices like talking to an automated machine. Or the students are made to practice the diction which forms a major part in a conversation between two people.

Story telling sessions

A lot of international schools also have story telling classes where they are taught the skill to narrate a story in exciting and interesting style. Since time immemorial story telling has been part of our society. But it had disappeared from Indian society a few decades back. However, this concept is being revived once again. And as a surprise, schools are actively participating to bring back the lost concept. Here at an international school, the creative art of telling a story is taught beautifully to students, which they imbibe in their  communication with people.

A rich vocabulary

In international schools, there is a high focus on making students learn different words and allow them to have a rich vocabulary. Teachers conduct various spelling tests, vocabulary tests where a student’s knowledge of knowing synonyms of different words are tested. There are also grammar tests to make sure the student acquires right grammar sense. Sentence construction is also given priority as that forms the basis for writing an email or essay or article or application letters. It’s important that the students gets his sentences

right else even an exciting concept get skilled if it is not presented in a right style.

Also, a host of teachers in international schools belong to western countries with English as their mother language. Hence, it is natural that they can impart the understanding of the language properly to students who are in the constructive years of their life and career.
