Venue- Madhuvan Publishers at Horizon Plaza, Gwalior

On the 13th of December 2018, a language workshop for Hindi teachers was organized by Madhuvan Publishers at Horizon Plaza, Gwalior. The speaker was Dr. Syed Mateem Ahmad from NCERT. Attending this workshop from SKV was Ms. Adarsh Sharma and Ms. Indu Chaturvedi. Focusing on the teaching of both Hindi and Sanskrit, the workshop communicated the idea that current technological innovations could be effectively harnessed in teaching language skills and, thereby, make the lessons more interesting for 21st century students.
Using the catch-phrase "burden-less study", the workshop provided an excellent opportunity to keep in touch with modern pedagogical trends. The participants were shown how audio-visuals could be used to teach grammar and, thereby, make lessons more motivating for students of various ages to learn.
Activity based and inquire based learning was also brought up at the workshop. We were shown how an active and student-centric classroom can engage students effectively in the learning process every step of the way. This would then enable learners to enhance their language skills through the basis of inquiry and application.
Books pertaining to the NCERT curriculum and notes on the teaching of Hindi grammar and composition were also provided to us.
The workshop was a learning experience for the attending teachers, who, in turn, will share the knowledge and expertise they have gained with others in the department through in-school professional development sessions.
