Development of Speaking Skill among Students

GENISIS—

Education aims at the holistic development of students. It is a powerful tool that enables a person to survive successfully in the society by taking rational decisions and to bring them at par with the world. Now a day every sector is using English whether it is business, study, games, technology etc. So the English language has become the need of the hour. Speaking and language fluency allows one to feel confident.  It has been observe that students, who are not fluent in English, often feel shy or hesitation to converse in English. This leads them to embarrassing situations.

To develop the confidence among the students and to make them fluent in CBSE English language, our group undertaken the project- `Development of Speaking Skill. `

PREPARATORY WORK-

We started with a group discussion among all the members if our group and all of us shared our experiences. We reached to a conclusion that the English language class goes not much lively especially in Class VI-VII due to communication gap between the teacher and the students. Students must be encouraged to converse in the English language. After this at the later stages they would start to converse in English language only without any hesitation and shyness. So we set our target to make them fluent in English language.
