Proficiency in English has always been a matter of serious discussion, notamong the academicians but among the parents too. To satisfy this need we wereplanning and executing various programmes throughout the past several years. The studiesand tryouts conducted by District Institute of Education and T raining reveals thatthe performance level of the children, has not improved much ,despite our efforts andpedagogic innovations .

However we have to take responsibility to make our students competentfor the foreign tongue. Programmes in tune with this aim have to be charted out. Whiledoing so we have to bear in mind the educational rights of the child which is envisagedin the historic act of RTE passed by the Government of India.

One of the major issues in our class room is the case of Low ProficientLearners LPL . We have to design or derive new strategies for them, keeping all theprocesses intact. The LPL have to go through the graphic reading and writing at a paceconvenient for them .Of course we the teachers have to take effort for them. They havetheir own talents and these talents can be modulated to develop language skills.

Through determined team work we can overcome this issue. Here arisesthe new program NEST (Nourishing English through Strengthening Talents.) designedby DIET Malappuram.

Can you see the bicycle in the picture.- What about its stand? Have a close look at the picture.- Has it a stand ?

- The bicycle had no stand. Then how is it kept?- How is the bicycle placed? (show the action ‘leaning against the wall)

- Can you remember Binu’s dream cycle. What about this bicycle?- What is the colour of the bicycle?- What about the handle bar?- Can you see the bell and mirror?

Strategy

[Let the sub text be on the BB. Children go through the sub text once again.]

They had many chances to read the following words of this sub text earlier.

Basheer,Binu, He , And, Bicycle, Handle bar, His, The, etc.

Let the children write the words they are familiar with in their note book.

Write the subtexts on a paper.

Then cut it into words. Keep the words in a box or in a can.

Teacher talk:

- See the box, can you guess what is inside ?

- “Toffees ?” Sorry dear. make another guess, “Words?”

Okay, let’s see

Now you can take lots.

Let every child take one strip containing words of the sub text elicited.

Jyothy, Read your word please.

Yes you are right. It is ‘stand’.

- Beena you have the word ‘leaned’, haven’t you?

- Jasmine yours is the ‘bicycle’. Isn’t it?

Yes, it is.

All of you have got the words.Now you can assemble and form the sentence.

- Okay, who have got the words of first sentence?

Look at the chart and find out.[ the chart to be exhibited must be prepared carefully.Sentences are written one after another,ie One sentence in one line.]

- Ravi, what is your word? Ok, it is handle bar. Can you find out ?

Sensitise the rhythm and pattern

The following interaction questions will help the teacher to elecit some lines from the children.

- Can you find out the lines which are repeated ?

- Will you find out the words which are repeated?

- Can we replace the word road, meadow, valley, hill,etc with another words ?

Let the children make some lines using replaced words (Individual writing)

For LPL teacher makes interaction with the following questions

- Where did Binu and Basheer ride the bicycle to?

(road, meadow, valley, hill side etc.)

Processing the rhyme.

Exhibit the rhyme on a chart.

Sing the song two or three times, looking at the chart, touching every word/ sentence with apointer.

Familiarize the tune and rhythm of the song.

Adding lines to the poem

Children may add lines to the poem keeping the rhythm intact.

To begin with, they can simply replace some words such as road,/ meadow/ hills/ etc, withwords like ground / school/ market. Etc. Later they can change the phrases and coin newones like

To the school I go Or To the market I go

You can also allow them to keep certain lines as a refrain of the song.

Page 55: NEST Handbook

Page : 55

You can draw attention to the places of Binu’s usual visit.

Your interaction can be like this.

He rides the cycle through the roads. And then? Where will he go?

Niju, what do you say?

That is good. Hisham, what did Niju say?

Good . He said Valley.

Now we can change word Road with Valley and sing the song.( the class sings the song)

Go on and change the other words too.

Be sure to stick on to the rhythm, because it is the only challenge we can set for them.

Let them add lines and sing the song.

Play the recorded version of the song two or three times.

Let them identify the lines of the song.

Your interaction may be like this.

Dears can you identify the first line of the song?

( they may have to listen to the song once again- play it without any hesitation)

I will give you a clue. There are five words in the first line.

( put five dashes on the BB)

I shall write the first word. It is ‘Down’

( write ‘down’ on the first dash. They will of course identify the second and third wordsreadily.

You will have to elicit the words ‘I’ and ‘slide’.

Do remember to write the words in the appropriate places as soon as you elicit them.

Like this you can elicit all the lines of the poem at your valuable patience.)

Choreographing the rhyme.

Choreographing a song , in a nut shell, means visualizing a song. Before we go for it, we mustbe aware of the classroom implications of it . While we visualize a song, children will have to makesome movements and will have to perform some actions. They will of course need help. We can giveapt instructions in English and children will listen to you with a purpose. Their major aim is performingthe choreograph and ours is providing rich language inputs. It touches all kinds of intelligence and weview it as a strong pedagogic tool.

Here we go.....

* Identifying the theme.

The first step is to identify the theme of the song.

Read the song once again. You can identify the theme ‘friendship’ or ‘a joyful ride’ as thetheme of the song.Please remember that the theme of any song can change depending onyour perception. For example, the famous rhyme

Row, row, row, your boat

Page 56: NEST Handbook

Page : 56

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream.

For a child the theme of this rhyme may be ‘a joyful ride’ . He may not be able to make outany meaning out of the last line.

But to a philosopher, the theme can be nothing less than the life itself.

He may be much interested in the last line which speaks a lot about nothingness of life!

Let’s come back to Binu and Basheer.

We have identified the theme. What will be our next step ?

Don’t we have to tell our children about the theme?

We have to fix the theme through negotiation to ensure their participation.

* Fixing the location

Draw attention to the locations described in the poem.

* Fixing the events

Negotiate and fix the events happened/ might have happened at every location.

* Fixing the characters.

Fix the characters( Raheem and Binu are common. But some other characters can appear.

* Fixing up the actions

Every characters have their own actions. Through negotiation fix the actions.

Fix also the entry points for every character.( when does he appears or on hearing what lineor music bit of the song)

* Sequencing the actions

Which action should come first ? What is the consequent action?

Negotiate and fix.

* Make the audiens feel the location.

How will the audiens feel that this a market/ house/ school etc?

Who will enact as trees/ vehicles/ etc?

How can make the busy feeling of the street?

What are the properties you needed?

The events/ characters/ actions differ according to the theme you select.

The teacher can interact well in English in the class to make the children participate actively.

The song is sung by the chorus

The actors Come to the scene as fixed early.Visual evidence of the perfomance
