The Hindu reports the news broadcasts from All India Radio are being used to teach students English<\/p>\n

To make learning English interesting and interactive for high school students, the district administration has undertaken a novel initiative.<\/p>\n

All 149 high schools, 11 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas and 11 model schools in the district have been instructed to implement All India Radio (AIR) English news listening programme as part of listening enhancement programme, English learning and general awareness development activities for students of class 8 and 9.<\/p>\n

The students are required to tune in to the five-minute English news broadcast at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. every day in their respective classrooms and note down the points.<\/p>\n

hat is followed by simple questions and discussions for another five minutes in the class to check their IQ levels, vocabulary, general knowledge and grasp on current affairs.<\/p>\n

Radio on phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All schools are equipped with radios, which were produced a few years ago when the government implemented \u2018Meena prapancham\u2019 radio telecast programme on adolescent girls\u2019 education. In case the schools don\u2019t have a radio, teachers are asked to use cell phones for tuning in to radio news.<\/p>\n
