ELE Training for Government School Teachers in Nagappattinam District

Easy Learning English is one of the flagship programs of Vidyarambam which has been implemented in government schools across TN since 2009. The ELE classes are held during school hours in periods allocated for the program by the school. The classes under this program are conducted for STDs 6, 7 and 8 by Vidyarambam trained akkas. At the heart of the ELE program is phonics, a globally proven methodology to teach students to read English using sounds(phonemes) of the letters of the alphabet.

The success of this program was noticed by the Chief Education Officer of Nagappattinam district who invited Vidyarambam to train all the middle school teachers in his district. This invitation excited us at VT as it gave us a very sustainable way to scale the program and give the benefit of the program to many more students. The first batch of 25 teachers from schools around Nagai were successfully trained between 3rd July to 5th July 2014. The training was conducted by veteran Vidyarambam trainers Mr.V.Ranganathan (Founder-President, VT), Ms. Rosy Marial, Mr. Sathya and Ms. Kavitha.
