I also want to motivate teachers to speak English in order to make their learners confident and fluent in English.
I firmly believe that every child can learn and speak English if positive atmosphere of English has been created in classrooms.

Generally, students like pictures, stories, games, activities according to their age and level. If they are valued and appreciated, they learn better.

If teachers speak all the time, it'll be a traditional way of teaching. It'll make students passive. They will only listen to the teachers. But they will be passive learners.

margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">online teaching</span> with you. I work at DIET, Nashik as a SARP. I support tag coordinators to run teacher activity groups smoothly in my Nashik district. We have 15 blocks and 247 clusters. There are 2 Urban resource centers (URC): one is Nashik NMC which has 24 clusters and the other is Malegaon URC that has 17 clusters. Nearly Nashik has 288 clusters. We have 235 Tag coordinators or facilitators. I've formed a WhatsApp group of tag coordinators in which 200+ Tag Cs (Some are trained by British council, some are by RAA Aurangabad and most of them trained by DIET) have been included along with many district level authorities.</p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: none; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Arial, "Sans Serif"; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px;">In August 20, I requested them on WhatsApp as well as in online shikshanparishad <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">to start</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">online tag meetings.</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Before, not a single online tag meeting was held throughout the district. Most of the tag Cs were not familiar with online tag. They had some issues I.g. how to conduct meeting, what online platform to be used, how to engage tag teachers, what sections to be included, how to manage online meeting, etc.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: none; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Arial, "Sans Serif"; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px;">So they requested me to conduct a <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">demo tag meeting</span>. Initially I was not so comfortable with conducting demo meeting. But I decided and brainstormed over it. I got a huge support from Kamini Taneja ma'am. She helped me providing <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">online tag meetings guidelines.</span></p><p style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: none; box-shadow: none; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Arial, "Sans Serif"; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.45em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px !important; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px;">Tag Cs can divide a tag meeting into two parts.

max-width: 640px; padding: 0px;">Firstly, I provided basic guidelines or norms of using the zoom, how to mute, unmute, switch on/off video, share screen, setting profile and use of chat box, etc. Immediately after I conducted a short quiz based on the zoom guidelines in which participants needed to share their answers in the chat box. Amazingly I got a huge response in chat box. As soon as they started writing correct answers, I appreciated by their profile names, and it worked a lot. In the first demo meeting 90 TAG Cs took participation and I was successful to get their active responses in chat box. Using chat box is a very successful strategy for the involvement of every kind of learners.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hello dear friends! This is Ashok Chavan. I live in Nashik, Maharashtra (India). I work as a SARP (State Academic Resource Person) in DIECPD (District Institute of Educational Continuous Professional development) Nashik since 2016. I got rigorous training from British Council as a part of TEJAS program. It has strengthened me a lot to support and mentor teachers and tag co-ordinators. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Initially, I had been appointed as a primary teacher in 2005. I love teaching very much. Most importantly, I like teaching English. As a teacher I would encourage students to speak English, help them to read with comprehension and engaged them in pairs and in groups. I noticed that students take interest in TPR (Total physical response) activities. So I used to conduct activities like 'Fire on the mountain', 'Simon says', etc. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I want to stay updated with new ideas, activities and what's going in ELT. I also want to learn new words. So joining this upper intermediate English course will help me to fulfill my goal of enhancing my knowledge and skills about ELT.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I'm planning to conduct online quiz test for teachers to create interest and positive atmosphere about English language and I'm pretty much sure that this course will help me to achieve this target.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'd like to thank British Council for providing me this knowledgeable opportunity.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thanks once again!</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I live in India and in this country everyone is equal in front of the law. We've to follow laws and orders in society. Nobody receives special treatment. You are not allowed to discriminate people who belong to lower castes, or different religions or maybe poor or rich. All the people are socially equal. The justice is same for everyone. One cannot deny opportunities for getting bread and butter. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> You ought to respect your elders in society as well as in every family. Everyone obeys ones grandparents and follow their rituals. Despite having high education, boys and girls are not allowed to select their brides and grooms. They've to listen to their parents and grandparents while getting married. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> You don't need to worry whether you've worn helmets or haven't! Though wearing helmet is a strict rule while driving a bike, a note of hundred can save your head. It means 'giving bribe' is a moral duty of each person who disobeys laws and rules on the road. Fortunately, nowadays 'Modi government' has made rules strictly and people are also following them due to harsh rules and regulations taken by Police. After all, "Modi Hain to mumkin Hain!" </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Actually police department have been given orders to take quick action against the people who break the laws and orders. They warn people not to break rules. People should wear helmets, they should tie belts while driving cars. They shouldn't talk over mobiles during driving. It is strictly prohibited to drink wine and drive. If anyone breaks the rules, he is penalised severely.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> One more thing I want to share that ATM machines are also well protected by CCTV cameras and security guards. You are not allowed to enter ATM centers with helmets in your heads. You have to remove scarfs, because secret cameras can't identify your face. In spite of all the rules, ATM machines and banks are robbed and lacks of rupees have been stolen several times in a year.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I hope that one day my country will see no crime! Soon the day will rise when none has to offer bribes! None has to go jail for their criminal activities! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Staying healthy</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In my opinion staying healthy and happy is a very nice thought for everyone in modern days to refrain from many diseases. Nowadays, people are worried about their health problems. If we go in a hospital, we come across hundreds of patients. The hospitals are filled with patients and doctors often give you advice about doing some exercises for staying fit and healthy. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> As I wake up early in the morning and go walking in a nearby garden, I notice many people walking around it, some people run slowly, some do yoga practice, some younger boys play cricket, a group of aged women stand in a circle and do some exercises. This is a really wonderful experience and it encourages me to do exercise.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I'm not sure for being fit which to prefer- sports or exercise. But I strongly believe sports and exercises can strengthen your muscles and body. Both give us pleasure and refresh us. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I'm very glad to say that I'm a great fan of walking and climbing mountains. Though I like to go walking, I don't get time to go walking regularly. However, I go walking in the garden, which is very close to my house twice a week. While walking around the trees, I love to observe birds and listen to their sounds.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Although I prefer walking rather than to climb mountains, sometimes I take time to climb hillocks, forts, mountains once in a month. It gives me immense pleasure. I used to climb a mountain which was near my village in the month of Shravan along with my friends. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this Diwali vacation I took my son with me and climbed the mountain which is known as Ajmer Fort near Ajmer Saundane. I became nostalgic after reaching on top of the mountain and taking darshan of Shivling. I shared childhood memories with my son. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I always encourage my son and daughter to play some sports, do some exercises and go for walks and climb hills. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Nowadays I don't play any sport. But I used to play cricket, gulli danda and marbles. Now I prefer indoor games. Sometimes I play carrom and chess with my son. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I always try to convince my friend's, relatives and people around me to play some sports, do exercise to stay healthy and happy. I believe that if wealth is lost, something is lost, if health is lost , everything is lost. So stay healthy and fit to live longer! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Today I travelled a lot and reached at my house.

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I feel I'm ok when I speak with teachers or present in front of teachers. But I want to improve my pronunciation. Whenever I listen to some audio clips of native speakers of English language, I found it challenging to understand. However, I firmly believe that if I keep listening to such audio clips or watching the news, it'll certainly help me to improve my pronunciation. Secondly, using the Cambridge dictionary for correct pronunciation and phonetic transcription helps me a lot.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> While reading I see many words which are new to me and I want to keep them in my memory. I search their meaning & how they are pronounced. Unfortunately I can't remember the words. I am especially confused about phrasal verbs and their usage. So I thought to read a word, make few sentences using the word or phrasal verbs and try to use it while interacting with people. I'm sure this will work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Right from my childhood I wanted to become a teacher and I tried a lot to be a teacher. Ultimately, my dream of becoming a teacher got fulfilled. If you're interested in a particular job, it makes you more efficient and effective. Because you like the job and you work keenly. As I work with children and make them happy, it gives me a sense of job satisfaction. Therefore, interest in the job is the first priority for me.</span></div>

If the job fulfills such needs, it boosts my confidence and enhance ability to improve quality teaching.</span></div>

This will help me to keep fresh and strong. I wonder why people use bikes or cars in a town to go to markets or visit nearest places. I hope people will start using cycles in a greater number. And by the time, they will be sensitised to keep our society free from pollution.</span></div>

Technology will replace human resources. Everywhere robots will be seen doing jobs effectively without any errors. By the end of ten years, surgeries will be done by robots.

After all nothing is permanent except nature, rivers, valleys, mountains, trees, sunrise, sunset, birds' chirping etc. Within the next ten years, I'll never forget real happiness which is not involved in playing with mobile, but keeping in touch with nature!</span></div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I'm very excited to write about my adventurous trip to Ramshej fort where I went last month with my son and daughter. Ramshej fort is well-known in Maratha empire. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb tried a lot for several years to win this fort. He was only successful after paying bribe to killedar. It is believed that Prabhu Ramchandra stayed here to take a rest and that's why it is called as Ram </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shej </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(Bed). </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> You know very well about this fort. It's really challenging to climb this mountain, isn't it? My family members go walking every morning, so we don't find it hard to go climbing hills or mountains. We are accustomed to trekking. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> It was a Sunday morning. It was quite warm and sunny. The fort is 10km away from Nashik. I set off at 9 a.m. with Piyush and Tanishka. They were eager to have a go to the fort. Since last week I was working on various tasks. So I decided to go climbing to unwind. I asked my family about my plan. My wife was busy with her household work, so she denied. Then we three set out on my bike. We reached the bottom of the fort within half an hour. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Yogesh, you know what happened when we reached? It was already a little bit windy. It made all of us excited. My daughter got frightened and she questioned us how we could go up in this cold weather. Nevertheless we made up our mind and began to climb. We had a sack which included two water bottles, a lunch box, a rope and first aid box. At first we can go climbing easily for 100-200 meters. We had worn sports dresses and sports shoes. Hence we all were very happy to go up. Soon we felt exhausted and decided to take a rest. We had some snacks and drinks. We sat on a flat rock and enjoyed some food. It was an exciting moment to look around, shout and listen to our echoes. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> As soon as we finished our snacks, we began our journey again. Now it was quite steep. We need to walk very carefully. Tanishka was frightened because of steep and narrow path. Everywhere were thorny bushes. Piyush and I could have made a way easily, but it was difficult for little Tanishka to get to the destination. So I picked up her and helped her from time to time. When we reached the middle of the fort, it was very cold and windy. We could see clouds around the mountain. As if it would start raining. Some people were going down and some were going up. Fortunately it was day time, but it was looking dark everywhere. We couldn't see the sun. Somehow we continued climbing. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Eventually we reached on the fort. It took 2 hours to reach the fort.Piyush and Tanishka clapped and jumped to show their happiness. Our clothes became wet. The sky was still cloudy. Fortunately there was no sign of rain. We went to see the temple of Rama, Sita and Laxmana where we took darshan of God Rama and took some snaps. Then we moved around the fort and saw the birdview of the village Ramshej. Standing close to the cliffs and looking down was thrilling. </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> After spending 2 hours and having lunch, we set out on our return journey. Going down was not so difficult and hard as climbing the fort. Within 1 hour we closed climbed down safe and sound.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I need to be fluent and proficient in English. So I've decided to listen to native speakers of English language on YouTube or watch movies or listen to the news daily. This will certainly benefit me. I also make up my mind to read articles, search new things on Twitter. I'll follow Twitter accounts which spread ELT practices.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I shouldn't have missed any online class and any activity to be incomplete.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I should read every resource which was given before and after completing week course.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By this time students learnt what to say. I motivated each and every child to ask the question and answer. Therefore I am made pairs in the class in which one student asked the same question to others and it was answered by the other. The same was repeated by each pair. In this way every student of 7th standard was able to say the question," what time is it now?" And to answer it correctly. I engaged every student by closed pair activity where everyone practiced asking question and answering it.</span></div>

With the major contribution of the village people, Mr Dattatray Ware sir, a well known personality in teachers who took his previous experiences and implemented his innovative ideas in the school.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He joined this school in 2012 and began his innovative things with 32 students. As he got the results from students, when students shared their successful experiences with their parents, parents believed in Mr Ware sir. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He encouraged people by sharing his ideas after having great impact over students. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now in this school the strength of students is 600. 4000 applications come each year for junior Kg and only few of them are selected by draw method. Students from the village and whose parents have contributed to the school have been enrolled on high priority.</span></div>

Instead they collect money for the well-being of the children. As a part of Zero energy school building, the locals have raised near about 40 lakhs rupees and 60 lakhs were funded by </span><span style="color: #6d9eeb; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">BNY Mellon bank as a CSR.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Students can learn independently or with a little support of a teacher or their friends. Self learning is a key factor of learners. None can teach students, they can absorb from each other or they imitate their teachers, parents, or whatever they listen, read or watch. </span></div>

There are 12 Subject friends in this school now who supports students in the absence of teachers.It is great observation by Ware sir that students learn better from these "Vishaymitra" rather than from teachers. Because they know each other very well. When teacher teaches something and asks,"Did you understand?" Students mostly say, "Yes!" Or they nod, despite being not understood. However, when colleagues elaborate any difficult concept, students learn effectively. This is the major positive contribution of Vishaymitra. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Apart from self learning and peer learning, special teachers offer education to these children. JEE topper teaches engineering basic knowledge and skills right from 6th std. And students are familiar with coding language which is required for making Robots or designing projects. As we entered in the laboratory, a student Sania gave a presentation over a Robot which is made by the school children. Sania gave a short but confident presentation over the robot. She talked about how coding is important to design robots. </span></div>

He has been working on electronic dustbin. As soon as a person comes closer to the dustbin to put in garbage, the lid automatically opens and after putting into it, it gets closed. Such coding has been designed by him. He has also one wonderful innovation to frame a stick having sensors with coding language meant for blind people. It will sense some obstacles, maybe wet, concrete and getting the sense of such hindrances, the stick will make some sounds to support blind people to avoid them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> French, Sanskrit and Japanese languages are taught here. Students learn different languages especially Sanskrit is being taught here right from first standard. If a child learns various languages, it becomes very intelligent. His/her brain is developed a lot due to learning more languages. This was shared by Mr Satish Wable in his introductory speech. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Special teachers are also appointed for Baalwadi students. They have a separate room having interactive board. We were told that the syllabus for 1st and 2nd grade has already been taught in baalwadi. One remarkable thing I saw here; after having lunch all the baalwadi students were taking nap. I think having sleep after lunch, it increases energy of students as well as children below 5 years need more sleep. </span></div>

They have glass slidings. It gives the sense of sitting under a huge tree as Mr Satish Wable an eminent person of Wablewadi elaborated in his introductory speech quite earlier.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He explained it smartly. We use fans, bulbs, electronic gadgets or electricity.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Mr Satish Wable gave us orientation about the purpose of the school in the beginning. He has great faith in Vaidik Gurukul system, Vaidik literature and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. In other countries, especially in Sweden Shivaji Maharaj has been taught as an engineer, manager & a good administrator, but in India he has been taught in the form of stories which mislead students.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The things which are not necessary for 21st century learners, such outdated syllabus has been designed and being taught to the children. The technology which is old has been taught to students of engineering. And when they are asked in an interview about new ideas, tools, our students are not able to explain it or answer it. That's why they don't get employment. New knowledge, new information should be given right from the childhood education. This was focused by Satish Wable a villager and good speaker who influenced us a lot. He has donated a lot to raise this school. He has always been with the teachers and work as a narrator and narrates the successful journey of this Atal Bihari Vajpayee international school!</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-line;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I live in Maharashtra. We celebrate many festivals like-Gudhipadva, Akshay trutiya, Holi, Nagpanchami, Diwali, Makarsankrant, BailPola, Rakshaband etc. These festivals are celebrated across Maharashtra by the rich and the poor. We live in the country where animals,bhoomi (land),trees, birds and things in nature are worshipped. We always show love, gratitude towards the things which give something to mankind. It's a great nature of Hindu people.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-line;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bulls are the backbone of Indian Agriculture. They are the friends of farmers who have been helping them right from many ages. They help farmers to plough, to carry loads. Right from many ages farmers had been using Bullockcarts for travelling from one place to another. Even nowadays people use bullockcarts in the remote parts of the country when there are no means of travel.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-line;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To gratify the bullocks, people of Maharashtra celebrate Pola. It is bullock worshipping festival. It brings joy and happiness among the farmers of Maharashtra. I love this festival as I'm a son of a farmer. We used to celebrate this festival in my childhood with great fun. Now I live in a city. And we do not have bullocks now. Hence the real joy has gone today. Only we worship by offering naivadya to bullocks made of mud. </div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-line;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was living in my village, on the occasion of Pola, all the people spent the whole day with bullocks. They would wake up early in the morning. They took their pair of bulls to nearby river or pond. They washed them carefully. They removed their dirt using soap. After that they decorated the bullocks with colours. Garlands were tied to their nakes. Ballons were tied to the both the horns. I'd enjoy all these things, but with our calf. It was interesting to play with the animals. If we love them, they also love us innocently. This festival taught me a lot. How to behave with the animals. How useful are our animals. How they help us. And how our Indian culture is different from other cultures. Actually the word "culture" itself is derived from "cultivate" and i feel very proud to say that it is related to farming.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-line;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the evening i<span style="background-color: initial; box-sizing: border-box;">n every house, there were sweet dishes made of puranpoli. All the families used to offer Puranpoli to bullocks. The parade of bullocks were carried throughout the village. As the procession moved ahead, children would clap, dance and shout. While women used to offer puranpoli to the bullocks. Eventually all the bullocks had to walk around the hanuman temple. And then they were carried to back to farms. They were given green grass. Eventually All the villagers gathered together in the open place of the village. It was a moment of equity and equality where everyone was equal. Such festivals have played vital role to keep social environment healthy and unbaised. So, I like festivals. I celebrate with great fervour and enthusiasm.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-line;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: initial; box-sizing: border-box;">When bullock worshipping festival "pola" comes, it makes me nostalgic and it takes me to my childhood days. If I want to enjoy this fun, I will go to my village and have fun with my friends again. </span><br />

RAA, Nashik took an initiative to help teachers to learn basic English words, sentences and short paragraph, stories,etc. We've developed a booklet for the teachers and learners so that they can use directly in classrooms.<br />
Hope this will help you to encourage learners to develop reading skill.<br />

This was quite an enriching experience for me to observe, discuss, reflect, present, and give positive and constructive feedback with Ashlesha ma'am during these 5 days.</span></div>

Ps wrote reflections individually and never were allowed to leave the class until and unless they showed their room work. This was very impressive.

Success story of Vijay Gosavi a tag coordinator from Jalgaon district. He put his successful journey in the following video.<br />

As I've been working as a SARP and supporting tag cs from Nashik and Jalgaon.<br />
I came to know that Vijay is very sincere and active tag coordinator. So I encouraged him to collect some evidences in form of video, reflection or classroom practices. He accepted this task and he had done very good job.<br />
He conducted nearabout 6-7 tag meetings and motivated teachers to interact in English and helped them to try new ideas, activities in their classrooms.<br />
Teachers from his tags displayed positive response and shared some successful bits.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students liked all the activities and they enjoyed a lot. Teachers observed and got new ideas.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One teacher said: Sir, we do such practice of picture and word cards, but not taking such activities. These activities are really helpful for us and students too.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In this regard, we need training how to use these materials. This is quite useful and interesting. If we get training, then it will be easy for us to conduct activities using this English kit.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So please do visit our school regularly and give us practice.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I asked :</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Was it useful for learners?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Were students reading and learning themselves?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Did they like activities?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Did they participate?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Did I encourage?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Did I appreciate them?</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Teachers gave all the answers with “Yes”. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I asked teachers: </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is SLM?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Only one teacher out of 7 responded.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SLM is Self learning material.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I explained using resource book provided in the kit. SLM helps to learn children using material independently. Children can work together and try to interpret with others about material. They ask each other about pictures and words. They try to read , understand and communicate with other children in group or in pair. But they need a little support of a teacher. How to deal with material ? What to ask ? How to respond ?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To achieve this purpose teachers need training.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They demanded training to know various purposes of various kinds of materials. How to handle, what to teach, what activities to be conducted, how to put learners in different interaction patterns, etc.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I asked 2nd question:</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is TLM:</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Again the same teacher responded. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">TLM is teacher learning Material.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I explained using resource guide. TLM is a material which is prepared and used by a teacher. To cater the needs of teaching specific TLM, support and mentoring of teachers and for teachers is required. Hence, using such materials-TLM, training is an apt way.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I selected another set of materials,. It was pronoun. I cut the cards into pieces to make it more sensible.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, I asked students and teachers : What is pronoun ?. Teachers tried to explain in Marathi. The word which is used for noun is called pronoun. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">E.g. I, we, he, she,it,they,you etc.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Using those long cards, I made meaningful sentences. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He… is a farmer.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">She…is a farmer.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Above sentences become meaningful.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But for the following sentence, teachers and students got confused.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My….is a farmer.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I explained the above pair is not correct. My is possessive pronoun. It can be meaningful only when it is used like, My mother is a farmer. My father is a farmer.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One teacher- Ranjana Khade, asked me , “ Students will not understand, what is possessive pronoun ? How to teach this, could you please explain more? And students also have problems to understand He, She, his, her, my, your or they cannot use these things properly. So how you will teach this ?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To answer her questions, I took another activity and introduced my, your, he, she etc.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introducing ‘My’</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introducing ‘your’</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introducing ‘He’ and ‘She’</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introducing ‘My and Your’</span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I did this using a card 'My’..</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First, I demonstrated ..</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My nose, my pen, my hand</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then, asked students to tell about themselves.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They tried to say ..My head, my shirt, my teacher,your pen, your head, your nose</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I put students into pairs.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They did in this way:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A: My nose and your nose</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">B: My hands and your hands</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A: My head and your head</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">B: My ears and your ears</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All the teachers satisfied with this activity and use of cards “My and Your”.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I found one mistake in a card strip.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ranjana teacher asked me how to teach He and She…</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Using a ball , I conducted introducing he and she activity.</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Put the students in a circle</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Throw the ball to any student</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ask him/her to introduce yourself like 'I am Ashok.’</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then, introduce a person sitting to your right and left side.like He/She is…(Support if students make mistake)</span></li>
</ul>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students also enjoyed this game. They were better comfortable to use he and she.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I emphasized that only SLM or TLM cannot serve the purpose of learning. You need to design some activities to teach and practise SLM and TLM.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I told this, all the teachers forced me to organise one training program about the usage of these materials. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How many jars are there?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What colour is a shopkeeper's shirt ?</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I asked first question, students could answer in a word. But after support and demo, they started speaking in full sentences.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I asked different questions using how many..</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:How many students are there?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:There are 9 students.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:How many female teachers are there ?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:There are 6 female teachers.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">:How many male teachers are there?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">: There are 2 male teachers.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If the same question is asked again and again using different content, students get practice to speak a lot and think a lot. In this sense, SLM or TLM is very useful. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We can also motivate children to ask questions to each other in small groups or in pairs. So they will try to ask and respond. At that time, teacher’s role is only to engage students, help them to ask and respond, appreciate and boost confidence of students.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Eventually I took a story telling session using story card.”Sana's Balloon” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students liked a story of Sana and her father.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They learnt new words like ceiling, filled, bought, struck, etc.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They loved an idea of pictures, reading and answering and storytelling style.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I took reflection of teachers and students and later everyone thanked me for spending time with them all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Some important findings:</b></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr Praveen Vinchu sir, a primary teacher using interactive board effectively and making learners English friendly..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Today I got a great opportunity to visit a class of Praveen sir who has been working as a primary teacher at zpps Pimpalkuthe tisare, cluster-Rajapur, Tal-yeola. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Pimpalkuthe is 18km away from Yeola and 102km from Nashik. Many times Praveen sir invited me to visit his school, but I avoided due to my busy schedule. Last Saturday he called me and requested me to visit his classroom. This time I decided to meet him. In spite of hot temperature and long distance I met his students, interacted with them and had fun, too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I set out at 7:30am and reached Yeola at 9:30. I was accompanied by Prashant Shinde sir. He is one of the best teacher, Tag coordinator, spoken English language ambassador and has created positive atmosphere of ELT in Yeola. He has been encouraging teachers to use English language teaching skills through tag meetings. And he has motivated lots of teachers to do well in their classrooms. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">We both went to Pimpalkuthe on bike and reached at 11:15. The school consists grades 1-4. Students of Grades 1 and 4 sit in one classroom and students of Grades 2 and 3 sit in the other classroom. One class has interactive board while the other has LED TV. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">2 teachers work in this school. Mr Sandeep Gatkal is a teacher and also works as a Headmaster. He is a class teacher of grade 1 and 4. Mr Praveen Vinchu sir is a class teacher of grade 2 and 3. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">We entered in the school, and directly went in the class of Praveen sir. Students felt shy first. They hesitated to speak with me. I thought that they weren't talkative. So I decided to conduct few warmer activities. I made a circle. I told them to sit in a circle and asked one student to bring a ball. Using ball students introduced themselves. I also introduced myself. I built a rapport with them within some time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Activity 1: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">( Introduce yourself )</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Students spoke about themselves.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm Shital. I'm in 3rd Std. My class teacher's name is Vinchu sir.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Students were passing the ball and they were telling their names. Some students made lot of sentences. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I told them to do another activity.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Activity 2:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">( Introduce yourself and your friend, standing left to you. Use ' I'm....and he/she is...' )</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">In this activity students introduced themselves and their friends too. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Students were easily speaking and using 'he is and she is.' Some students were helping each other, if they made mistakes.</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwRw_wBhYHK6Mm8GepaLoGBbbsvpd7lEIcZZCtLoIhfZ0VErNgcagH1drOELY3R-ShLiIVo-nzLUY1G0eqJJNl4vJzb1H3IY0gNWilWcHz_uTMZsmyYVwbTc3KOzf97BeFXGBfKvBAG0g/s1600/IMG_20190402_112235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwRw_wBhYHK6Mm8GepaLoGBbbsvpd7lEIcZZCtLoIhfZ0VErNgcagH1drOELY3R-ShLiIVo-nzLUY1G0eqJJNl4vJzb1H3IY0gNWilWcHz_uTMZsmyYVwbTc3KOzf97BeFXGBfKvBAG0g/s320/IMG_20190402_112235.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">After that 2 students introduced the whole class students. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">All the students are able to use I'm,He is and she is. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Praveen is a tag teacher. He attended 2-3 tag meetings. He had also attended spoken English training. When I</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> asked Praveen sir to conduct a lesson, h</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">e started with jump left and jump right activity. He lined up students, gave instructions about the game. Then he showed flashcards and asked questions, "Do you like orange?" Students who like it, they jump to their right side and who don't like, they jump left. He also consolidated by getting their responses. Students tried well. They could use, " I like...and I don't like.."</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Praveen has done lot of practice of questions and answers. He asked many questions rapidly. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How many days are in a year?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How many months are there in a year? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Which month comes after June?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Which month comes before March ?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How many days are there in a month/week/Jan/July/Chaitra/Vaishakh?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Which month comes between November and January?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Students were answering all the questions. As they have memorized, and practised regularly, they could answer correctly. It seemed little bit parroting. But students having no English language background, it can be accepted. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I suggested him to do slowly and make them sit in pairs and groups, so that they will try to ask and answer simultaneously. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Students have enough exposure to practice language. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I was very surprised when Praveen sir started using interactive board and his learners were using it very easily. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">They could draw shapes and colour them. They could select and use different tools from the board. They could choose pages, write on it, solve problems of math, write numbers and read. </span></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">One student came and he selected a circle. He drew circle and put a dot inside at the centre and gave name in Marathi, " वर्तुळ केंद्र- अ" , the others drew "व्यास, जीवा, त्रिज्या". </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Teacher asked to write numbers on the board.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">He told to write, 15 अब्ज 13 हजार 2</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A student came near the board and wrote correctly: 15,00,00,13,002</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">They could give problems to others. And they had fun on it. They were shown pictures of animals and asked to describe it. They made simple sentences easily. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">For example, </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A cow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">This is a cow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A cow has 4 legs. </span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Praveen sir is very well known about realia. When I asked him,"What is realia?" </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">He said,"Real objects like chair, table, board, projector, fan etc."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">He conducted an activity based on realia. He instructed Ss to make a line and stand in a line. He put a chair in front of the line. And told them to describe the chair in one or two lines. Each has to make at least one sentence. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">They made following sentences:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A chair has 4 legs. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">It has 2 arms.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">It is white.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I sit in chair.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I pull the chair.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I push the chair.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I pick up the chair. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I noticed following things about them: </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Students are able to </span></b></div>
<ol>
<li><b><span style="color: #351c75;">Describe familiar real objects like table, chair, board in one or two lines </span></b></li>

<b><span style="color: #351c75;">When I talked to Praveen sir about financial condition of the school, he shared that villagers have donated Rs 1,36,301/-. And people are always ready to give more money for their children. Even light bill is also paid collaboratively. </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Due to his positive energy, and quality education, he is successful to receive such a huge community contribution. Mr Sandeep Gatkal, coteacher always supports him. Even these two teachers have donated money for the well being of the school. It's really amazing and charming to know about progress of this school. </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">A teacher can be the best supporter and life changer for the rural children. It has been proved by Praveen Vinchu sir.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">I gave my best wishes for his continuous efforts and also suggested few areas of improvement.</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #351c75;">We, both Prashant and me interacted with teachers and learners, conducted few activities, learnt how to use interactive board and eventually, said goodbye.</span></b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Today I attended tag meeting at Nigdol cluster in Dindori.</b></div>

<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>I'm very glad to support Shahul sir. As he needed tag resource books and he posted on a whatsapp. I called him and gave him 60 resource books for his 3 tags. When Pawar sir (kp) collected the books and distributed to tag teachers, all of them thanked me.</b></div>
<div>
<b>I travelled 50km and reached at zp school Nigdol to attend and observe first tag of Shahul sir. All the teachers became very happy to see me. They interacted with me on various issues.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>I asked their expectations from Tag meeting.</b></div>
<div>
<b>Following are some expectations of teachers..</b></div>
<div>
<b>Teachers want to develop their confidence.</b></div>
<div>
<b>They want to build the confidence of students,too.</b></div>
<div>
<b>They want to speak English and develop communication skills in English.</b></div>

<div>
<b>They want to remove fear about English language.</b></div>
<div>
<b>Teachers want to learn new activities for their students.</b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>I'm very glad to know that the chairperson of panchayat samiti Mr Kharate also stated the same. He said to develop confidence among learners. And Tag will do the same.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Mr Shahul sir conducted very energetic warmer, 'fruit salad' activity.</b></div>

<div>
<b>His instructions were clear and he has already succeeded to create positive atmosphere in his cluster Nigdol through many cluster meetings. He has good rapport with his tag teachers.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Teachers started to communicate in English right from the beginning. Everyone was trying their best to speak in English. All the teachers liked the idea of reflecting. They assured to attend tag regularly, learn new ideas, conduct few of them in their classrooms and share their best practices on whatsapp group.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>After learning by watching section, I tried jump left and jump right activity with them. They enjoyed it.</b></div>
<div>
<b>I asked few questions like:</b></div>
<div>
<b>Do you like tag meeting?</b></div>
<div>
<b>Would you like to attend tag every month?</b></div>
<div>
<b>Do you like to develop your confidence?</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Everybody jumped right and showed their interest in tag.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Mr Motiram Pawar sir (KP) assured everyone that he will support them in every tag meeting.</b></div>
<div>
<b>He will arrange the tag and help tag c to conduct tag.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>It was really healthy discussion with all and everyone kept talking, listening and enjoying tag.</b></div>

<br />
It's indeed a great and insightful experience to be part of Communication skills development training programme at RIE, Bhopal.<br />
Today on 14th Jan 2019, we KRPs from Maharashtra attended day 1 sessions which were conducted by Prof.Manojkumar Mishra, Prof.R.P.Saxena and Prof.Pandagale.<br />
Each resource person provided their rich knowledge. They not only imparted knowledge and skills, but also filled our brains with eye opening insights.<br />
Firstly the inaugural programme was conducted in which all the authorities congratulated us for 100% attendance. They mentioned why maharashtra is called developed state.<br />
Hon.N.Pradhan sir, principal of RIE, Bhopal touched every aspect of communication skills in his inaugural speech. He also stated the importance of soft skills. Soft skills are required for any activity. Communication is one of the soft skill. Even 21st century skills, effective communication skills are mentioned. Further, he talked about 10 life skills like self awareness, critical thinking skills etc. Theatre pedagogy is the innovation of RIE, Bhopal and it should be learnt and taught everywhere.<br />
Hon.Mishra sir asserted that हर फसाद की जड़ communication हैं। Listening is very important to communicate, but people have stopped listening to others.<br />
Dr Nidhi ma'am and Dr Rizwan sir anchored very delightfully.<br />
<b>Session 1</b><br />
Constructivism ( Hon.Prof.Manoj Kumar Mishra)<br />
Most of the times I've heard about constructivism, but this was a golden opportunity to hear Mishra sir, talking consistently on constructivist approach as if a real and authentic personality was sharing original aspects of Constructivism in a lucid and simple language. I was very much impressed by his effective session.<br />
Initially, he started with SR theory. Stimulus response theory.<br />
When teacher snubs or scolds a child, the child frightens or gives response. Many times S is same but Rs vary. He explained the SR theory by giving many examples.<br />
If a child gives the same answer, he is rewarded otherwise punished. So Stimulus and response theory is based on rewards and punishment. Here, learners have to give the same answers what his or her teachers expect. Otherwise they are scolded or punished. This is memory based theory. Learning is controlled by the teacher.<br />
Mishra sir gave one example.<br />
Teacher asks, " What colour is a leaf?"<br />
S: A leaf is green.<br />
If a student says,"A leaf is brown or a leaf is yellow." These answers are not accepted.<br />
Right answers are decided by the teachers themselves. Teachers are the bosses of their classes. They hardly respect the ideas of children. So such classes are disciplined one. Means no noise, no discussion, no sharing and hence no learning.<br />
For them, memorising the answers, keeping the answers for long term in mind and recalling and writing in exams is a definition of learning. And one who follows this rule is called a learner.<br />
2. Knowledge is misunderstood.<br />
The capital of Japan is Tokyo.<br />
This is just information. But it is believed as knowledge.<br />
So information and knowledge these two concepts are misunderstood. They are used interchangeably. Actually what we are imparting in the classrooms, is not a sort of knowledge, it is just an information. But we are thinking that we are giving knowledge to students.<br />
3. How a learner learns<br />
A person constructs knowledge interacting with the socially rich environment. Anybody communicates in the society first. Many persons or components from the society like friends, parents, relatives and other people in socity help persons to build his knowledge.<br />
He learns at 2 levels.<br />
1. He gathers new information at social level.<br />
2. He tries to understand using his previous background or what he knows already at individual level and interprets or constructs in the light of his previous experience.<br />
When something is provided, first reaction is , if it fits to his reality, he accepts it and if it doesn't fit to his context, he rejects. This is a process of learning.<br />
If new thing or new knowledge is given to learners, they become restless. When they are able to assimilate, then they want to know more. They start exploring. Learning happens at that time.<br />
Readiness to learning new things or willingness to learn is also equally important for learning independently.<br />
The learner's culture or his background is important, too while teaching. He is a student, but he is the representative of his community, culture, context. He brings his language, customs in his class.<br />
So a teacher must know the culture of a student.<br />
Knowing to each learner means knowing his culture, language, habbits, food style, context and everything.<br />
<br />
<b>7 Es constructivist approach</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Excite</b><br />
Teacher should put learners into groups or pairs. Arrange group discussion. Help them while discussion. Let them think, share and come uo with conclusions.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Explore</b><br />
Provide limited information. Let them imagine, predict and certainly they will come up with something. They will start exploring new things. In such a way learning will happen.<br />
<br />
<b>3.Explain</b><br />
Teacher should explain a little bit and he should ask learners to explain themselves. They will explain using their own vocabulary. They begin to think and construct new things.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Expand</b><br />
Provide some clues or questions to think them.<br />
For example, How can we be happy ?<br />
Do you think you are happy? Why ? Why not?<br />
Learners come up with their own ideas. Let them discuss, share and debate.<br />
Provide them sime information. Monitor, guide, don't spoon feed.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Extend</b><br />
Corelating information. It is expected to corelate what we have already learnt.<br />
<br />
<b>6.Exchange</b><br />
Exchanging our ideas<br />
Sharing and learning through exchanging innovative ideas and solutions on given topics.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Examine</b><br />
Learning is the process. In constructivism understanding the process is more important.<br />
<br />
Some key features of consyructivist class.<br />
<br />
Not focussed on identical answers.<br />
Intelligent guessing is accepted.<br />
Reflect<br />
Debate<br />
Share and learn<br />
Analysis<br />
Disagreement<br />
<br />
It was really fruitful learning through this wonderful session.<br />
Got the vivid idea about constructivist approach.<br />
Truly it was rich, knowledgeable and insightful session by Hon.Prof.Manoj Kumar Mishra sir.<br />
Thanks..<br />

*I got the appreciation by Hon. Nandakumar sir, principal secretary of State education.*<br />
<br />
It was memorable and golden incident in my life.<br />
There was one day conference at Rukmini hall, MGM campus in Aurangabad on 11th May. It was organised by RAA, Aurangabad. Hon. Dr Subhash Kamble sir,Dir.RAA, Aurangabad had organised this workshop wherein the English language initiatives in future by RAA were introduced. SARPs of RAA oriented new initiatives like advanced spoken, MOOC, chess, Mahatejas, My English. In this English program Block level English Ambassadors from various parts of Maharashtra were present. They shared their views about English language while interacting with Hon. Nandakumar sir.<br />
Hon. Sir guided the English expertise in his own style with a touch of humour.<br />
He also showed 3 videos. One was from my Nashik district.<br />
After spoken English program Dr Ujjwal Karawnde sir and me went to visit Sandip pawade's school. He was Bela and tag coordinator. He motivated many teachers in his block and changed the attitude of teachers in his school. When we visited his school we observed 2nd STD. Where Archana mam conducted a lesson and students responded in English. She hardly used Marathi. At that time one girl interviewed Karawnde sir. She asked questions spontaneously. Actually she maybe had practiced before. But her confidence was praiseworthy.<br />
In Nashik district I encouraged many teachers to work as Tag coordinators and as Block level English ambassadors (BELA). I also supported them through social media, face to face visit. Sometimes I observed their tag meetings and wrote blogs over it. I observed classrooms. Interviewed spoken English trainees. I gave some teacher trainers opportunities at state-level.<br />
*Dr Kamble sir and Dr Ujjwal sir shared my work with Hon. Nandakumar sir.*<br />
And yesterday it was great day for me when *Hon. Nandakumar sir not only mentioned my name but he invited me on stage. He literally hugged me. In his words I found great respect for the persons who work with devotion*<br />
It was remarkable moment. I touched his feet to show gratitude.<br />
Thanks sirji for such appreciation.<br />
Thanks to Dr Subhashji Kamble sir and Dr Ujjwal Karawnde sir.<br />

really true. We travel a lot in our country, state, district or countryside
area. We meet new people, new traditions, taste new food, see lot of things. We
get new ideas. We can even come across the variety of languages, birds, plants,
trees, food, nature, clothes and weather. We come to know about how people
talk, greet and express their opinions. I had the same curiosity about foreign
land. I had a chance to visit UK for the purpose of attending conference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to know how people of England talk,
what they wear, how they behave with their guests, how they respect us, what they eat, what kind of traffic and travel system they possess.
How effectively they manage their system . I also wanted to know about the
international conference-IATEFL. Means how these people organize such huge
conferences annually. How they manage and run such conferences. I wanted to
learn new pedagogical concepts, wanted to meet new people across the world, talk with
them, exchange new ideas, share our ideas. I also wanted to visit new places to
know their cultural events and places. It was my goal to travel abroad with and
without support. I could succeed to fulfill my ambitions by visiting London and
Brighton, two best and beautiful cities of United Kingdom during 7<sup>th</sup>
April to 17<sup>th</sup> April 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

conference was at Brighton (UK) during 9<sup>th</sup> April to 14<sup>th</sup>
April 2018. But our flight was on 7<sup>th</sup> April at 1:10 pm from
Chhatrapati Shivaji maharaj international Airport. I began my journey to Mumbai
on 6<sup>th</sup> April. First I went to Nasik road railway station and took a
janshatabdi train. My family members were came to say goodbye. I reached at Dadar at 1.00 pm. Nisar was also in the same train. He started his journey from
Aurangabad while Nagesh had </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">already </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2.25pt;">reached to Dadar station in the morning. We

there. We checked in online in the afternoon. It was British airways’ plane.
Both my friends got success to check in online, but I could not succeed.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2.25pt;"> M</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2.25pt;">y name was miss spelt on the ticket. It
should be Mr Ashok Chandrabhan Chavan. But it was Chandrabhanchavan /Ashokmr. I was very confused and frightened whether I
could board in or not. I tried many times to check in online, but every time it
was showing error and access denied for me. One can imagine how terrible it
was. Fortunately, the problem was sorted out next day at the airport.</span></span></div>

international airport is really beautiful and lavish place. We clicked many photos here at the entrance
and inside the airport. We had to show tickets while entering the airport main
building. Then we went to the immigration counter where we received board in
pass. It included our seat no., group no. and gate no. I was very happy when I
got my board in pass. <b>Mrs Urvi Shah ma’am (Head, schools, English and skills,
west india, British Council, South India) also joined us.</b><b> </b> We had to go through security check in.
Before our luggage was collected at the immigration counter. One hand bag
was allowed to keep with each person. After rigorous process of checking, we
had to wait for the next announcement. Meanwhile we watched beautiful paintings
showing the culture of Maharashtra on the walls of airport. I enjoyed the
moment. There were many planes on the airport. Some planes were taking off and
some were landing. First time I saw planes so closely. Some were very large
while some were small in size. It was indeed beautiful sight. it’s like a mall inside
the airport. There were many shops having expensive things. All the area was
decorated and designed in a lovely manner. There were luxurious cushions for
the travelers who can sit and enjoy sightseeing. Standing on a escalator and

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was time
to board in the plane. We were waiting at gate no.66. On my boarding pass plane
no., gate no., seat no., boarding time and departing time were given. It was
British Airway’s plane- BA 198. My seat no. was 30E. We boarded in the plane at
12.30 pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was quite large Boing plane
in which near about 300-400 passengers can travel. We were welcomed at the gate
of the plane. As it was my first journey by plane, I was quite embarrassed, but
I enjoyed the journey and atmosphere inside the plane. Everything went well.
Two british persons were sitting beside me. One occupied seat to my left and the
other sat to my right. It was very easy to tie seat belt and use screen TV. I
could not get window seat, but I could see my journey on my screen. When the
plane took off, I felt like sitting in a big merry-go-round. As it goes up, we
feel the same. The distance between Mumbai and London is 4591 ml (<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">7380 kms</span>). The departure time was 13.10, but it
took off half an hour late. It was 9 hour journey. During the travel I enjoyed
one time meal, coffee, breakfast and watched one Marathi movie-Faster
Fenne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The plane landed at Heathrow
terminal 5 at 6.15 pm as per London time. In my watch it was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>10.45 pm. Indian time is 4.30 hours ahead of
UK time. I set my watch according to it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

counter again. To reach at these counters which were at C gate, we had to go by
metro train. We were just following the other co-passengers. However, we
managed it. It was very cold in London. When we set off from Mumbai, it was
very hot but here it was too cool. I wore<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>warm sweater. </span></div>

the national express bus going to Brighton. The driver himself put our luggage
inside the bus. The bus was luxurious and had<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>wi-fi and toilet facilities. I was delighted to see the smooth roads. It
was raining. Brighton was 50 ml away from London. It took 2 hours to reach at
Brighton. The bus went to Gatwick airport first and then to Brighton. When we
reached at Brighton the temperature was very less. So we took a cab and reached
the hotel- Brighton <b>Mercure Hotel.</b> It was 4 star hotel. Each one was
given special rooms from 8<sup>th</sup> April, But on 7<sup>th</sup> night we 3
had to sleep in one room. I slept at midnight, dreaming the whole journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I got
ready soon. The conference was from 9<sup>th</sup> April. On 8<sup>th</sup> we
had nothing to do. So we had already planned to visit London. We had also
booked our rail tickets using Loco2 app. It cost 16.30 pounds for return
journey. Our train to Victoria London was sharply at 7.09 am from Brighton
railway station. Although we were new in that city, google map made our journey
safe and easy. We all gathered in the hotel reception at 6.15. We kept our luggage
in the luggage store room. The Mercure hotel was very warm inside. It had many
luxurious rooms. It was located in front of the sea- English channel. One could
see the beautiful atmosphere of seafront, wide roads and the tallest british
airways i360 from this hotel. We walked to the station early in the morning. It
was<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1 ml away. It was raining, but not
so hard. We had umbrellas with us. The roads were very clean. The sea gulls
were flying over the tall houses and hoping on the ground. We reached on time.
We could not collect our tickets from machines. So we went to the inquiry
counter. We stood in a line. A personnel was helping to each passenger. When
the man was hearing the problem of a passenger who was standing next to me, I
asked for ticket. I was making haste. But the man on service told me not to
interrupt. Firstly he sorted out the first passenger’s problem and then he gave
me ticket. All over my journey I noticed this behavior of government servants.
I hardly found this in my country. Our people either neglect or give more
importance to few people. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 2.25pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After getting tickets we sat in the
train.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very few people were travelling.
Our coach was quite empty. The seats in the train were luxurious. On the floor
there was mattress. Toilets were excellent. I never found class 1 and general
compartments. Every compartment was same. Anybody can seat in any bogie. This
was real equality that we always discuss. To get in and get off the station we
had to touch the tickets at entry gates. When we touched the tickets or card on
the proper area, the handles opened automatically. This was innovative one.
Security persons were standing at the gate all the time to help and check.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the trees didn’t have leaves. Probably it was very cold and rainy. Soon summer
would begin and it would bear leaves and flowers. We could see only few people
at each station. They were not as busy as we have in our country. The houses
were old enough and had the same structure and colour. Almost every house had
the same type of roof.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very cool
outside but it was warm inside the train. Because the trains had no open doors
or windows. They had glass windows and doors. We reached at Victoria station at
9.15 am. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to our plan we went to Buckingham
palace which was close to the station. It comes under zone 1. London has 6
zones. Many attractions are based in zone 1 and 2. One can visit these places
on foot or by bus. You can also use underground trains. They are called tubes.
Oyster card is the easiest and the cheapest way to travel by the tubes. You can
also use this card in local buses and other means of travelling within London.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Buckingham
palace is one of the best attraction where we saw hundreds of visitors from
different countries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We waited here for
an hour. Actually we wanted to see the parade, but after seeing few glimpses of
parade, we started towards St. James park. Here we noticed different kinds of
water land birds in a pond. Some trees had white flowers. We came across many
Grey leg geese on the grass as well as in the pond. One magnificent swan
attracted many of us by his elegant movements in water. It was quite bigger
than other ducks. There were different kinds of ducks. They were floating in
water alone or in pairs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

squirrels on the trees. They were coming down and eating groundnuts from
visitors. These squirrels were larger than our Indian squirrels. When we were
going to National Gallery, we were observing roads, tall buildings, vehicles ,
sign posts and many new things that were on the way.</span></div>

saw beautiful fountain, some statues, many people and huge building of national
gallery. It had tall pillars. Inside the gallery there were many halls. In
every hall there were lots of paintings. We explored hundreds of famous and
beautiful paintings of the world. It gave us pleasure immensely. One could
observe and experience the glory of the art here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We came to Thames river. We could see the huge merry-go-round from the bank of
the river. It was splendid sight of the river. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were historical buildings on the both
the sides of the river. We enjoyed coca cola London eye and river cruise
safari. Going on the top of the city and looking at the river, boats,
buildings, buses, trains, people , it was just marvelous. In the capsule we
were 12-15 persons. I really appreciated the aesthetic view of tourism which
has based in Uk. These people care for each and everything. They care for their
heritage, nature, river, bridges, castles, flora and fauna etc. They not only
respect tourists but help them everywhere. Every Englishman is engaged to
respect his or her national heritage. For them all these things are<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>their wealth. Bridges are very famous in
London. Actually the city is known for London bridge, tower-bridge, waterloo
bridge. We were introduced the glorious beauty of the Thames river and the
historical buildings located on both the sides of the river when I was
travelling by river cruise.</span></div>

woke up quite late today, but got ready before 8 am. My room no. was 169. We
had been given separate rooms in this hotel, Mercure. It had zigzag paths
that led to our rooms. My room had some general facilities as we have in our
hotels. Normally we have AC, but here we had air warmer machines that keep
rooms warm. Wherever we attended sessions, everywhere we found this facility.
All the doors, floors were made of wood of this hotel. While walking on the
floors, I could hear the wooden sound. Generally in UK people use
toilet papers. They hardly use water except for flush. Bath tubs were also an
excellent facility that each room had. I enjoyed to take bath in lukewarm water
in bath tub. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and controlled traffic system of Brighton. When pedestrians want to cross the
road, there are “wait“ signposts. Simply we need to push button and wait for
the pedestrian signal to turn<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>green.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that pedestrians can
cross the road. Sometimes when anybody wants to cross road and if any vehicle
comes fast and the pedestrian returns or hesitates to cross the road, the
driver stops the vehicle and requests him or her to cross. It was really
fabulous to see and experience such thing that we hardly experience in our
country. Everywhere on the roads there were cctv cameras.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None have a courage to break traffic rules.
Everyone drives in a line. And we hardly find any kind of traffic jam. That was
quite beautiful picture about it. I did not find too much motor bikes on the
road. Probably because of cold weather.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the evening we went to Royal pavilion museum. Actually when we reached there,
it was closed, but we could wander around it and observe the beauty of royal
pavilion. It is the best attraction of Brighton city. In world war 1 , it was
used as Indian army hospital where Indians were treated during the war. It has
royal pavilion garden and has wide variety of organic plants. It reminds us
Indian dome like structure. We spent lot of time at this place and clicked many
photos. I noticed here many birds like Herring gull, common blackbird, starling
and pigeon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of time at Brighton pier. It was based in sea. We could see crystal clear
bright water of English Channel. And one could hear the musical sound of
sea-waves and herring gull. I was lucky
enough to see the sunset having seaside background. The sun was taking its time
to go at home. It was 8.00pm. The sun was still at the the west horizon. After
sunset, there was light in the sky until an hour. We were very delighted to
have some fun at pier.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Today we got an Indian hotel which was run by
Punjabi man- Mr Chavala. He started to speak in Hindi. He shared lots of things
about UK. He told me that he has been living in UK for 12 years with his family
and he likes this country very much. He felt proud being Indian but now he has
much interest in this country. We
ordered Hyderabadi chicken in 9 pounds. In his hotel there were many Indian
countryside paintings displaying village life and at the entrance inside the
hotel there was model of half auto rickshaw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

discrimination in UK. He strongly denied it. He gave an example of his boss. “I
work here as a manager in this hotel and the owner is native. My owner’s son
follows my orders here. He even cleans the toilets, if I say him.” I heard lots of unbelievable things from him.
Smoking and drinking wine is very common. Because of cold weather drinking wine

extremely great moment. It was the best and exceptional plenary in the conference.
She inspired and motivated all. Brita is an advocate of women empowerment,
women’s rights and equality. She has worked for over 20 years with marginalized
women all over the world. Marginalized women means women who had never been to
schools, who had been exploited, who had to face poverty. She shared her experiences
working with marginalized women. She told that knowledge is the key to
unlocking potential and transforming lives. Women have gained confidence due to
knowledge who had never been to school. She gave references of the women living
in extreme poverty. She showed videos of syrian women refugees. Women are also
human beings and so respect them. It was the motivational theme behind the
speech.</span></span><br />

talk told the story of the test. It started in China about 2250 years ago. It identified individuals with the ability to
govern the emerging HAN EMPIRE, the Chinese Imperial Examinations. By the
middle of the 19<sup>th</sup> century, Europe had begun to take note of their
need for competitive examinations for military, educational and administrative
posts. In early 20<sup>th</sup> century, the scene was set for the emergence of
testing as a major industry. The different philosophies of learning and testing
that emerged in USA and Europe how testing is practiced to this day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and clicked some photos with them. We met one teacher. She was from Russia. We
wanted to know whether English has been taught as second language in her

speak English and so they demand English language teaching in schools. Some
international schools are also offer English medium education.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This was going to be held in Oxford at Hilton hotel. Again we had to walk from
Brighton centre to Hilton crossing few footpaths. I enjoyed these two beautiful
places of brighton. While strolling between these hotels, I was delighted to
see the Brighton seafront, clean seashore and the sound of Herring gulls, the
tall and magnificent Hotels, the interior designs of hotels, the respectful
nature of the people inside and outside the hotels. It was absolutely memorable
visit to foreign land.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

along seaside of Brighton. Nisar and me were enjoying photos which were
displayed on the seashore. I was clicking his photos. One four year old boy was
walking with his father. Unintentionally I touched him. Until I turned to look
back , the boy came close and said, “Sorry.” I also beg pardon. Actually I had
to say sorry. But that little boy did before me. His father was looking this
from a little distane. When his son reached at him, he patted his back. It was
wonderful scene that I couldn’t catch in camera. How these people respect
visitors and how they teach hospitality right from childhood. It was nice
evidence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Good morning everyone. I am Ashok. I still remember some events from my childhood that I can't forget. I was very shy student. I used to get frightened if somebody scolded me. Especially when teachers or my mother scolded a lot ,I felt very nervous. I could not speak with my friends in Marathi which is our mother tongue of Maharashtra. As my local language was different. It is Ahirani. I could only speak that language and could never participated in the classroom . Later I developed speaking Marathi very well. I started to read marathi stories,novels ,watching films and practicing with my friends and neighbours. It worked a lot and I got success. Now I can deliver speeches even in Marathi. I have taught Marathi for 12 years at elementary level. i have read many books in Marathi. And I have been enjoying marathi literature and films. It gives me great joy.</div>

English was very new for me ,as I took admission in 5th Std. We were introduced abcd and pictures.But I decided to learn to read and write in English. i had curiosity to know this foreign language.I used to memorize the spellings of difficult words. I would read English words and find their meaning in Marathi. When i could understand the real meaning of the words, I became very happy. I used to read English lessons and then I tried to read Marathi translation from guide. Again I read the same text in English without looking into guide. This had developed my reading understanding. I loved to read. Now I 've been reading newspapers,novels,stories,textbooks and whatever come across which is in English. It has enriched my vocabulary. Although I used marathi dictionary for the difficult words in my school days, I do not follow the same.Now I have started using English to English meaning. It helps wonderfully. I can understand the meaning of words when i use English to english Dictionary.</div>

I could not speak English at the early stage of my school days and even after joining service as a primary teacher. But I tried to answer in English. When I was in 8 to 10th std,I used to raise hand to give answers. I developed a lot to write very neatly and accurately in exams. I got 79 marks in 10th std in English. I was so happy that I fared well in English. Later the journey of my success in English subject, never stopped.</div>

It was my dream to write in English and be a fluent speaker in English. Now I am working on it. I have started to write blogs where I write my reflections when I visit schools or observe any classroom or any success story of my colleagues or my experience with English. British council has changed my attitude towards ELT. I want to learn more and more and want to keep up to date. For me learning is a lifelong journey. And I never want to stop this journey. This online course will give me a lot and certainly enrich me a lot.</div>
