Conversational English: Work Groups


After using a computer-based Tamil/English language program for some initial pronunciation and basic skill drills, the team broke into small groups headed by each team member. Each group worked through a set of basic phrases and interaction, and each group of teachers listened carefully to each native speaker as words were clearly spoken. They continued to go back and forth, both among the team members and each other, working diligently on their pronunciation, and also their inflection. It was fun to see their confidence burgeoning right before our eyes!
