CONVERSATIONS Building Conversational Skill in English

Juniors I

Foreword Thanks to globalization international boundaries have become blurred. English, to a high degree, is a commonly understood medium of communication throughout the world. It is also one of the key tools that students require to perform well. According to a global study, 98.5% of employers implicitly or explicitly assess a candidate’s English communication skills while recruiting them. There is, therefore, a growing demand for English communication skills, because it empowers people and enables them to lead a better life.

Early exposure to English is essential for children’s overall academic and personal growth. It not only facilitates effective communication but also lays the foundation for all future language learning. However, it is equally imperative to adhere to a scientific approach when introducing children to English or any second language during their foundational stages.

Highlighted by a wide range of research and also by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, a strong foundation in listening and speaking from an early age leads to better reading-writing skills as well as improved academic performance in the target language. In fact, special emphasis is placed on conversational and communication skills at the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) stage in the NEP document. Along the same lines, the first 8 years in a child’s life are deemed critical in the new National Curriculum Framework (NCF) for acquiring a language orally which forms the basis of literacy and cognitive development.

Yet, English listening and speaking often tend to take a back seat during the early years in schools against the standard teaching practices around decoding, tracing and phonemic awareness activities. In order to address this humongous learning gap during the foundational years, Uolo has launched a powerful program for oral language development in English—Uolo Speak! It comprises two worlds—the Conversations book through which classroom interactions and teaching take place, and the Uolo App that houses all digital assets of the program.

Aligned with the spirit of NEP 2020 and NCF for foundational stages, Speak adheres to the communicative language approach, and gives precedence to developing listening and speaking skills in English in an anxiety-free, meaningful and fun-filled environment.

The program steers clear of teaching reading-writing and focuses exclusively on the oral language development of children. The book follows a theme-based learning approach where carefully curated themes become separate chapters and go on for a month. For example, food, seasons, good habits or body are a few of the themes that are at once crucial yet easy for learners to begin their listening and speaking practice. The focus in each theme is on giving an input-rich listening environment to children with the help of joyous stories and poems, and developing English vocabulary and oral expression around that theme in child-friendly ways.

In order to develop speaking, the highly acclaimed ‘Total Physical Response’ (TPR) method is used, where repeated physical actions and gestures are used to learn words and expressions in English.

Additionally, the book is technologically powered and works in sync with a parallel digital world which contains immersive animations of the stories and poems for easy listening and viewing anytime, anywhere!

The digital world also enables fun-filled practice of key words, phrases and sentences in English. The accompanying teacher manual guides the classroom transactions in a step-by-step manner and makes the process of teaching-learning thoroughly enjoyable.

To sum it up, Speak is a unique blended program for developing usable English listening and speaking skills at the foundational levels in the most creative way possible. Within these colourful pages lie stories waiting to be heard, songs waiting to be sung, rhymes waiting to be danced to language waiting to be spoken, and dreams waiting to take flight. The book not only helps children master English speaking in a joyous manner, but also transports them to far-off lands, introduces them to fascinating characters, and ignites their imagination like nothing else can. So, let your children dive into the magic of learning the English language and emerge as confident English speakers. ii

Curriculum Basis of Speak Derived from global research, NEP 2020 and NCF 1. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) The focus is primarily on meaningful communication, effective expression of ideas and oral competence in the target language. Oral fluency and meaningful interaction takes precedence over perfect grammar and accuracy of vocabulary.

2. Theme-Based Learning One theme or topic binds all the learning content and activities, and goes on for a longer period of time. It makes the learning process more meaningful and engaging for young learners.

3. Total Physical Response (TPR) This method of language teaching is exceptionally valuable for young learners when they are learning a new or second language. In this method, children use their bodies and movements to respond to language instructions given by the teacher. This tactile and interactive approach makes second language learning lots of fun as children connect words with actions, helping them remember and use the language more effectively.

4. Holistic and Integrated Education English learning is organically integrated with concepts of health, culture, science, environment, current affairs, socio-emotional learning and sports.

5. Supportive Environment for Second Language Acquisition In order to master oral fluency in English language, an anxiety-free and input-rich environment is created with the help of rich texts, fun activities and digital platforms.

6. 21st-Century Skills 21st-century skills, like confident expression, critical thinking, problem solving and digital literacy are addressed.

Pa rents’ Gu ide Dear parents, We’re thrilled to introduce the Speak program, which is all about nurturing your child’s listening and speaking skills in English. It comprises two worlds—the Conversations book through which classroom interaction and teaching take place, and the Uolo App that houses all digital assets of the program.

The book is packed with colourful illustrations, exciting stories and poems, and powered by QR codes for a seamless transit into the digital world. The listening & speaking activities are entirely research-based and adhere to the guidelines of NEP 2020 and the NCF. The book, if followed in its true spirit, is a journey filled with laughter and learning. Through these engaging texts and nurturing experiences, your child is immersed in a world of English language which is not only fear-free but also super fun.

Therefore, we invite you to actively participate in this learning adventure with your children. Reading aloud to your child, practising together, and encouraging conversations are all wonderful ways to support their language growth. The following are a few simple tips that would help you support your child better: •

Do not force your child to read or decode the words and sentences written in the book. The whole range of text is exclusively curated for listening and speaking in English.

•

Use the home language for support wherever needed to explain the meaning of the texts or during conversations.

•

Discuss the visuals on the cover page with your child and talk about the theme.

•

Read the stories given in the book aloud to your child with lots of expression and action. Talk about the illustrations too. Know their thoughts and feelings about the key events in the story.

Scan the QR code to play the animation of the story on the Uolo app.

•

Sing the poems to your child with lots of action. Encourage your child to repeat the poem with actions and help them memorise it. Talk about the illustrations and scan the QR code to play the animation of the poems on the mobile app.

•

Ask your child to share some of the words and sentences they learnt to speak in the class on a regular basis. Help them practise saying these with fluency and confidence. You can add a few words and sentences on your own too.

In the end, we would like to thank you for entrusting us with your child’s early education and language development. Let’s work together to build a strong foundation for your child in English listening and speaking which will go on to serve them well throughout their lives. If you have any questions, thoughts, or ideas to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to make this journey as enjoyable and rewarding as possible!
