The session “ Vocabulary Power – Vocabulary building and sentence construction techniques” by Mr.Anoop Paul and Ms.Anu Ann Varghese was a well-balanced session explaining root words and inductive approach for teaching vocabulary through activities and games. They succeeded in demonstrating various ways in which students can be taught new words without much strain and pressure. As these sessions can be done with simple life situations, students will have ideas and thus they will participate well.
The post-lunch session was facilitated by Mr.Jijoy Joseph and Ms.Santhala. They presented an Activity Studio for FM. They introduced a lot of tools which were customized by them which could be used in FM sessions to enhance the Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing skills of the students. Later the participants in groups made different tools according to various situations to use in the classes. This session helped the participants understand that the play-way/activities method is the most effective way to induce learning and that the SDEs can make the classes very effective by using learning tools related to the topics. They also got an idea of how to develop learning aids and tools by themselves.
