Description
Pearson A Manual For English Language Communication Skills Laboratories by D Sudha Rani
A Manual for English Language Communication Skills Laboratories is an improved and updated version of the acclaimed A Manual for English Language Laboratories. With additional activity sheets and additional space for recording student progress, the focus of this manual is on providing students with extended practice and a record of their daily progress.Through an activity based, learner-oriented approach rather than a top-down, theoretical one, this manual addresses issues of fluency and accuracy in spoken English among Indian students. The first two chapters provide students with vigorous training in two vital aspects of conversational English—phonetics and role-play. The subsequent chapters build on these two elements and discuss scenarios that require different kinds of etiquette, tone and voice modulation. A wide variety of scenarios—from informal speech, such as giving directions and describing people and things to more formal English in official or educational settings, such as participating in telephone interviews and debates—will provide students with an insight into the world of language communication. The unique three-tier evaluation system, through its rigorous assessment methods, will make students confident to conduct themselves effortlessly in a variety of social situations and develop their personality.Thoroughly mapped to the requirements of first-year B.Tech. students of Malla Reddy Engineering College, this manual uses simple language and an approach that will appeal to all who need to develop their English language and soft skills.
