English Vinglish Report

English Vinglish’s goal is to teach everyday English to the bus hostesses and housekeeping staff of DAIS. Taking the reins from our seniors, we continued with developing our own lesson plans where we taught basic rules of grammar - pronouns, adjectives and conjunctions - and the correct use of these, and how they can be translated into spoken English, that would prove useful. We would use different teaching styles and methods, such as role playing, interviews, enacting situations and the good old-fashioned written tests that allowed our students to consolidate their knowledge and become more confident English speakers. We taught them to how to use popular smartphone applications including Book My Show, enabling them to now book their own movie tickets using English as the primary language. Additionally, exposing them to the smartphone application Zomato allowed them to view a variety of restaurants and their reviews.
