Though the pupils seemed to listen to the narrative,majority of
them could not follow the language well. They were merely guessing
the idea from gestures and expressions.It may be correct or not. At
the time of interaction before making discourse the teacher had to
spend more time to clear these problems. Many of the students could
read the passage keeping good pronunciation,stress and intonation
27. There are some students in our classrooms those who cannot read
and write English. Research oriented OSS will give the clear
picture about our classroom processes and current level of the
children and it will lead to plan our activities realistically. If
the OSS team assess the pupils periodicaly,make reports and share
it with teachers wiil help to increase the quality of classroom
process. 28. Suggestions Narrative can be used as a connecting link
to all discourses and activites. At the same time teachers must be
sensitized for using other triggers such as pictures,animated films
etc. If it is developed for the teachers will be helpful for better
comprehension and language generation.And it can be addressed in
training also. Periodical assessment of children and seeking
remedies on the part of OSS must be continued. 29. The periodical
assessment will be helpful for the teachers to realize the facts
and for the trainers to find out what help should they provide in
the school. Extra reading materials in English must be developed
for the students.It will be helpful for leading them to read and
write easily. School wise English clubs and reader's&writers
forum should be functioned in all schools. Additional activiies
like creative workshops,camps etc must be conducted for
sc/st,minority and CWSN students. 30. Follow up Activities
Organizing and well functioning of English clubs in all schools
Preparing remedial packages for those who cannot read and write
English Periodical assessment in the part of OSS will be continued.
The merrits of the students will be shared with the society. 31.
Innovative programmes such as creative reading and writing
workshops will be conducted in school level. More Try out classes
and success evidences must be exhibited in trainings.
