About the Workshop
English in India is a global language in a multilingual country. The need for English today has grown
beyond the academic needs and it has now become a matter of fulfilling people’s aspirations. This
presents a unique challenge for teachers as we strive to help these students achieve fluency and accuracy
in English language that will help them in their academic, professional and social sphere. So, too, as
teachers, we need to recognize our challenge to go beyond imparting knowledge. Helping students learn
effectively is our challenge as teachers. Effective teaching is not just knowledge dissemination.
Identifying effective teaching strategies, therefore, is our challenge as we both assess the effectiveness
of our current teaching style and consider innovative ways to improve our teaching to match our
students' learning styles. This workshop for the teachers of English aims to explore different teaching
strategies, analyze what works, and take action to modify or synthesize our teaching to help our students
learn in a way that works for us as well as our students. The sessions will provide valuable direction for
English language teachers in India.
The major thrust areas of the workshop are proven strategies for teaching listening, speaking,
reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary.The Registration Fee of Rs.1200/- should be paid by DD drawn in favour of The Director, CPDE,
