CONVERSATIONS Achieve Fluency in Verbal Communication

2


Expert Opinion Dr Rejaul Karim Barbhuiya Assistant Professor, Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET), NCERT, Ministry of Education, Government of India

Times have changed. Today is not the time of memorising and copying. Students must be enabled to think for themselves and articulate their thoughts well. They should be able to participate meaningfully and confidently in day-to-day activities – whether it be buying groceries, registering a formal complaint, or voicing opinions freely. A problem-solving attitude, critical outlook, scientific temperament and creativity are non-negotiable skills in the 21st century.

Ms Sonia Kumari Assistant Professor, Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi

Dr Aakash Chowkase Post-doctoral Research Fellow, University of California, Berkeley, USA, Department of Psychology

NEP 2020 acknowledges the multilingual reality of India and asserts that the bridge of home language or other familiar language is absolutely crucial for children in the foundational years, not only to help them to comprehend basic subjects, but also to acquire additional languages like English. Thus, the needs-based and systematic use of learners' home languages should be encouraged in the classrooms, along with an anxiety-free, purpose-oriented and input-rich environment.

The National Education Policy 2020 talks about technology playing an important role in improving the learning outcomes and learning experiences of children. With the growing penetration of the internet and the easy availability of smartphones and other electronic devices, both parents and teachers can participate in and supervise children's learning through various online apps, quizzes, videos, e-books, educational games and so on. In a nutshell, digital learning has the potential to impact on what children learn and how they learn.

In the post-Covid world, more than ever before, the parents' role is being seen as pivotal to children's growth and learning. The National Education Policy 2020 released by the Government of India, recognises parents as equal partners in their children's education. At home, it is important for caregivers to create a safe, engaging and positive environment for children to learn, apply themselves and have fun. Parents can also engage actively with children around their homework, curricular and co-curricular activities and projects.

Aparna Dixit Head of Content and Research, Centre for Learning Resources


Foreword In the age of globalisation and unprecedented technological advancement, English stands as a universally comprehensible medium of communication. It has evolved into one of the essential tools that learners require to thrive in today's world and secure their future. Studies from across the globe have also shown that English communication skills significantly impact on career prospects and lifelong learning. Functional and fluent communication skills in English, encompassing the crucial facets of LSRW (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing), are pivotal for children's knowledge acquisition; intellectual, social, and emotional development; and lifelong learning. In particular, robust listening and speaking skills not only form the bedrock of the language learning process but also pave the way for enhanced reading and writing capabilities. Yet, the majority of educational efforts prioritise teaching reading and writing from the very outset, sometimes neglecting listening and speaking skills. These foundational skills are often overlooked in educational institutions due to high pupil-teacher ratios, lack of opportunities to express themselves in English, and, most significantly, a lack of structured and dedicated class time for honing these skills. It is within this context that Uolo Speak has been introduced as a groundbreaking English program tailored for learners in pre-primary to grade 8, with a special emphasis on English listening and speaking. In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 and the learning outcomes set forth by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). The Conversations book serves as the classroom-based avenue for developing functional speaking skills. The book contains teacher-led English speaking and listening activities that adhere to the highly recommended and research-based teaching-learning method known as the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR). This approach systematically guides learners in mastering the targeted competencies. Through these activities, learners engage in high-quality, age-appropriate, and experiential tasks that foster confidence and fluency in English. The accompanying Teacher Manual provides in-depth implementation plans for these activities. The mobile interface of this educational product ensures consistent practice of functional English skills. These exercises transcend conventional question types, employing cutting-edge technology to facilitate learning and provide instant feedback. For instance, learners can practise English speaking on the App and receive AI generated feedback. This allows learners to grow skills over a period of time and gain confidence to express themselves in English in their daily lives. Uolo Speak offers a potent, captivating, and unique learning experience for learners. It embodies a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to cultivating indispensable functional English skills required for the 21st century. We extend our warmest wishes to all educators, parents, and learners as they embark on this exciting journey with Uolo Speak, filled with fun and joyful experiences.

Instructional Model “In the 21st century, language teaching must go beyond traditional approaches and must aim to enable students to use language skills in real-life contexts for a wide variety of purposes.” (NEP, 2020)

According to Vygotsky and Krashen’s theory of second language teaching, language acquisition happens

best when learners are engaged in purposeful and meaningful tasks in an anxiety-free, non-judgmental, communication-oriented, input-rich, supportive and stress-free environment, along with a lot of scaffolding practices. This approach to second-language teaching is also highlighted by the NIPUN Bharat Mission document and NEP, 2020.

In this context, the Conversations series, along with the learning activities designed in it, can play a crucial role in creating an input-rich environment, employing diverse avenues for speaking practice in a fear-free and non-judgemental setting, coupled with real-time feedback.

The book has been developed based on the ‘Gradual Release of Responsibility’ (GRR) model—a teaching-

and-learning model that has been widely recommended by the NEP, 2020 and the NCF, 2023. The GRR has been promoted by educational researchers and practitioners all over the world for its effectiveness in promoting student engagement and deep understanding of content and skills.

The GRR model includes three steps, each one consecutively shifting the ‘responsibility’ from teachers to learners so that learners become independent users of the language.

I do: The teacher first provides explicit instructions and modelling that initiate the learning process. We Do: As learners begin to grasp the content and skills, the teacher also begins to shift the responsibility to them, facilitating a guided practice where the teacher and the learners participate collaboratively.

You Do: Finally, the learners take full ownership of their learning through independent practice and the application of the skills learnt in the program.

Based on this approach, there are three core instructional models on which the activities work (please refer to lesson plans in the Teachers' Manual for greater clarity). These are: I do

We do

You do

Listen

Echo

Express and Repeat (E&R)

Fully guided; Modelled speaking by the teacher

Collaborative: Shared speaking

between the learners and the teacher

Independent practice and

application by the learners

To sum it up, this has been created with a view to doing away with the fear of speaking in English among learners and allowing them to express themselves confidently in English in real-life situations.

Zoya Makes a Friend

Little Zoya lived in a beautiful village in the mountains. On a sunny Sunday morning as Zoya was feeding the hens, she heard a tiny meowing sound. Zoya followed the sound. After some time, she found a tiny, fluffy kitten stuck on a branch in a tree. The kitten looked scared. It could not find its way down. Zoya wanted to help. She ran to her grandfather. Zoya asked politely, “Oh, grandfather! I need your help, please! Grandfather said, “What happened, Zoya? How can I help you?” 42


Zoya replied, “There is a little kitten stuck in a tree! Can you please get it down?” Grandfather smiled and said, “Of course! I would be happy to help.”

Talking Book

Grandfather fetched a ladder and carefully placed it against the tree. He climbed up as Zoya looked on, worried for the kitten. With a gentle touch, he reached for the scared kitten. It quickly rolled into his arms.

Zoya was very happy. With a big smile on her face, she said, “Thank you so much for your help, grandfather. You are very kind.” Grandfather replied, “You are welcome, my little girl. We should always help others. I am proud of you.” Zoya carried the kitten back to her house. She gave it some food and a cozy blanket. Zoya had made a new furry friend.

Dabbu replied, “Great! Please stand in a line. I will step on each one of you to count the total number.”

The crocodiles quickly lined up from one side of the river to the other. Clever Dabbu walked on the crocodiles, counting, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. . .” He counted thirty-six crocodiles up to the other side of the river.
