English and the Indian – Languages cannot be learnt in the classroom if the classroom cannot replicate real life situations within its fore-walls , and rightly so, for you would notice that children in India, like children all across the world, learn to speak in their mother tongues before they join school, and then, after joining school, spend a little more than a decade learning languages like English, in the classroom, which they ultimately cannot speak fluently.

Interestingly, the ability to speak in one’s mother tongues comes quickly and naturally to all children as the mother tongue is learnt by living the language. Living a language is basically learning a language through everyday interactions by observing and imitating others in an environment that necessities the use of the language. This is how all kids learn, to begin with, they observe and imitate their parents and family members. However, their attempts to learn a foreign language, in the classroom, yields little results as there is very little scope for observation and imitation in most classroom settings.

At Shiksha we focus on this principle that is at the heart of language learning, that is to engage with learners in an environment that would require the use of the target language (the language a person wants to learn) as much as possible. The training methodology involves initiating students into the communicative process by helping them transition from language reception (listening & reading) to language production (writing & speaking). A simple way of understanding the term communicative process would be this, while learning his or her mother-tongue, a toddler receives information by listening, also known as language reception, and then in due course of time produces information by speaking, another name for language production.
