Some of the areas covered were reading for meaning, teaching vocabulary and grammar in context, writing skills, project work and ASL for language learning. The workshop aimed at familiarising trainers and teachers with the current developments and emerging trends in language education and pedagogy in the Indian context. It brought in aspects which a teacher should know in order to provide meaningful experiences for learners in their attempt to learn English which include the ability to understand what they hear, the ability to read with comprehension, to express effortlessly, to write in a coherent manner and to be creative.

It was an informative session and gave new insights into ways of delivering the new syllabus effectively and imaginatively.
