Description
This decade has seen steady increase in people studying and learning English Language because English has become the international language of education and business. English has become essential for our Personal, Professional and Financial developments. To gain and achieve a global platform in this highly competitive world, proper & effective education in English is necessary. But rural and backward vernacular medium students in spite of having talents are unable to study in English Medium Schools for their poverty. Even, they are unable to get any skill-based training to establish in society.
Our mission at ALAPAN is to promote learning and support education and professional development for people in India. We work hard to help learners to pursue their dreams of higher education or getting a good job in English-speaking environments worldwide. The resource persons at ALAPAN have developed several methodologies to make learning fun and amiable. Perhaps readers might be interested in our perception on the importance of learning English and why it should be fun.
Since its inception, ALAPAN at its English Language Skill Development Programme has trained more than 10 thousand students voluntarily in English Language for their overall development in English language skills and also to prepare them for their higher studies and jobs through camps, workshops and regular teachings.
ALAPAN believes, this AFFIRMATIVE ENDEAVOUR is a real help of the society. Participants gain new and effective techniques to using the integrated-skills approach to learn English as a second language and prepare themselves for success.
The members of ALAPAN contact various primary and high schools and rural NGOs and select the learners. Then English Language teaching is started either by motivational camp of 5/7 days or by regular process of two days a week.
ALAPAN prepares/ collects/ purchases Handouts, charts, audio scripts, videos and other TLM to implement the programme.
ALAPAN has carefully selected an outstanding academic team by bringing together some of the top Trainers, Tutors and Experts in the field of English Language Teaching and Personality Development Programme today who are ready to devote themselves for this purpose.
Vernacular Medium Primary and High Schools along with several rural NGOs coordinate us to promote the programme.
By the end of the programme, learners are generally able to
• interact with academic content: reading, writing, listening, speaking;
• think critically and rationally
• utilize information and digital literacy skills and exhibit behaviour and attitudes appropriate to a particular environment;
• write effectively for a variety of professional and social settings
• practice writing as a process of motivated inquiry, engaging other writers’ ideas as they explore and develop their own
• demonstrate the various skills required to take participation in a conversational situation that develops knowledge collaboratively: listening carefully and respectfully to others’ viewpoints; articulating their own ideas and questions clearly; and situating their own ideas in relation to other voices and ideas
• reflect on and evaluate learning and performance, and set goals for progress
• express ideas fluently, accurately, and appropriately in spoken English at a required ESL level
