Project by the Orell Fast Learning Research in English Language

Approved by Centre for Faculty Resource Development in English (CFRDE)

The truth is that even though our students score high marks in their examinations, they are ill-equipped to articulate well in English. Researches have shown that inadequate exposure to authentic spoken English is one of the major reasons for the students’ hesitancy and inhibition. This becomes a major handicap to them when they face a competitive world where English assumes the status of the lingua franca. This course is a modest attempt to address the need.

The course and the appending multimedia content is intended to fulfill the felt need for appropriate course material for teaching and learning English. The approach followed is highly flexible with significant emphasis on Instructor as well as learner support.

Objective
Overall objective of this course is to equip the student to converse in English with ease and confidence. This is founded on the realization that the earlier we, initiate a student into a language, the easier it is for him / her to master it.
