Andhra Pradesh: EYE-SITE helps degree college students improve their English language skills

They give full credit to their lecturer Ravindranth’s innovative intiative

Communicating effectively and fluently in English has so far been the exclusive skill set of the students studying in the corporate institutions in the urban areas.

But the students of the Government Degree College at Sringavarapu Kota in Vizianagaram district have proved that they are second to none when it comes to the mastery over the language.

Since a majority of the students hail from the rural background and have pursued their studies in the Telugu medium, the transformation brought about in them is truly inspiring.

All credit goes to the college’s English lecturer C.V.S. Ravindranath, the students say in one voice.

With a view to helping his pupils learn the language in a systematic and easy manner, Dr. Ravindranath has designed a programme — Enrich Your English through Systematic Integrated Teaching-Learning Experience (EYE-SITE).

Under the programme, a message is sent to the students early in the morning every day containing a new English word, its meaning, pronunciation, and usage in a sentence.

The students, after coming to the college, are encouraged to write sentences on their own using the word. The students are divided into groups and asked to form as many sentences as possible with the learnt word.
