“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
(Alvin Toffler, Social Philosopher and Global Advisor)
The 21st Century is the age of Knowledge revolution. Our children are “Digital Natives.”
This blog aims to make teaching of English interesting by using 21st century learning skills - critical thinking, information technology application, communication, creativity, cross cultural understanding, self direction and team work. It also focuses on the development of HOTs (Higher-Order Thinking Skills) like problem solving, evaluating and analyzing. The chapters of English are to be taught in relation to the real life situation. Emails, (online/ in class) – debates, discussions or swapping opinion can also be used to develop language skills. E-projects which give an opportunity to collaborate and showcase the work to the global community motivate the students because they know that they have an international stage to share and get appreciation. Interviews, peer group discussion, multimedia presentations, posters, use of internet and other soft wares develop three Cs- Creativity, Communication, Critical thinking and technology.
