The Teaching Learning Process
Learning is a challenging, engaging, and enjoyable activity. Learners should be encouraged to engage
in a rigorous process of learning and self-discovery by adopting a highly focused and yet flexible
approach to education as opposed to rote learning. Each day learners should be encouraged to focus on
key areas of the course and spend time on learning the course fundamentals and their application in life
and society.
In teaching and learning pedagogy, there should be a shift from domain or conclusions-based approach
to the experiential or process/es-based approach. The faculty should promote learning on a proportionate
scale of 20:30:50 principle, were lectures (listening/hearing) constitute 20 percent of the delivery;
visuals (seeing) 30 percent of the learning methods; and experience (doing/participating) 50 percent.
This ratio is subject to change as per institutional needs. In order to achieve its objective of focused
process based learning and holistic development, the Institution/University may use a variety of
knowledge delivery methods:
1.1 Lectures
Lectures should be designed to provide the learners with interesting and fresh perspectives on the subject
matter. Lectures should be interactive in a way that students work with their teachers to get new insights
in the subject area, on which they can build their own bridges to higher learning.
1.2 Discussions
Discussions are critical components of learning, and can be used as a platform for students to be creative
and critical with old and new ideas. Besides developing critiquing skills, arriving at consensus on
various real-life issues and discussion groups lead to innovative problem solving and, ultimately to
success.
1.3 Simulations
Simulations provide students opportunities to understand real life situations and scenarios, and solve
challenges in a controlled environment or make use of them in simulating cultural experiences by
locating/transposing them in new (local, regional, national and international) situations.
1.4 Case Studies
Real case studies, wherever possible, should be encouraged in order to challenge students to find
creative solutions to complex problems of individual, community, society and various aspects of
knowledge domain concerned.
10
1.5 Role Play
Assuming various roles, as in real life, is the key to understanding and learning. Students are challenged
to make strategic decisions through role-plays, and to analyze the impact of these decisions. For this
purpose, incidents from literary texts may also be used.
1.6 Team Work
Positive collaboration in the form of team work is critical in the classroom environment, for which it is
necessary to transcend one’s prejudices and predilections so as to achieve the desired outcomes. In the
process of team work, leaners will acquire the skills of managing knowledge acquisition and other
collaborative learners, thereby understanding how toincorporate and balance personalities.
1.7 Study Tours/Field Visits
Study Tours/ Field trips provide opportunities to the learners to test their in-class learning in real life
situations as well as to understand the functional diversity in the learning spaces. These may include
visits to sites of knowledge creation, preservation, dissemination and application. Institutions may
devise their own methods to substitute/modify this aspect.

Preface
“Communication – the human connection – is the key to personal and career success.”
Paul J. Meyer
Communication is vital to the existence of all living species. Communication has been an
integral part of the human world. Humankind needs to communicate to express various needs,
feelings and emotions. The organization of a society, country or world is based on
communication. One cannot imagine a world without communication, the world that we live
in or as we know cannot function without communication. Communication is as old as the
creation of the world but with the rapid changes and progress made in the domains of business,
science and technology, there is an increased importance for an effective communication
system.
Communication is not limited to explicit language skills: listening, speaking, reading and
writing but also to the understanding of implicit messages in a multicultural society that we
live in today. In recent years the importance of professional communication has increased
manifold due to the growing complexity in organizational structure and behavior.
English is spoken as a native language or second language by more than 1.5 billion people
across the world. It has been observed that English has the ability to blur geographical
boundaries. With the advent of globalization, establishment of multinationals, modernization
of business practices, effective communication has acquired greater importance. Enhancing
one’s communication skills in English is the need of the hour and a prerequisite to meet the
demands of the ever-changing world we live in.
The Communicative English course is a vocational program and has been designed to introduce
students to various areas in communication and media and to strike a balance between theory,
practicals and skills in Communication and Media program. The programme is a rigorous
orientation aimed at equipping students with skills, knowledge, and attitude that enable them
to aspire for roles in the field of communication and media. The students start by honing their
speaking skills and improving their grammatical acumen to writing for the media, scripting and
making documentaries/short films, creative writing, technical writing and translation. The
course has been designed to equip students in the theoretical and practical aspects of language
49
for the different domains of media, creative writing and effective spoken and written
communication that is required in business and technology. Students will get a feel of the actual
work environment i.e on the job training experience by way of internships in either
print/radio/television/cinema/ social media. The course covers a gamut of skills equipping the
students for media, corporate, creative sectors and also for higher studies in the discipline.
This document is an annexure to the already submitted English curriculum.
