1) I finished a 2 years project called the English Access Micro scholarship Program funded by the US Embassy from 2014-2016. I had to teach ‘Communicative Language Teaching’ to underprivileged students from 8th, 9th and 10th standards from BPL sectors in Bangalore, whose education is sponsored by Christ University.
Since it was my first Classroom Teaching experience, I not only taught my students English but I also learnt a lot from them as well.
Although it was a part-time job but I had to prepare for each class since it was an activity-based teaching and the method used was play-way and Realia, wherein students learn to converse in different places such as an Airport, a Restaurant etc and I tried to help them experience speaking in such places with the help of pictures, posters, videos, use of items such as tickets etc. Preparing such activities not only helped me enhance my creative skills but made teaching and learning more fun and beneficial for my students and me. My aim was to enhance students' LSRWskills.
2) I have also taught English as a foreign/ Second Language in an Institute in Bangalore to students aged between 13 to 60 years from Nov 2016 to March 2020.
The main focus was on Speaking, Listening, reading and Writing. I also taught a bit of Business English i.e. writing formal letters, emails and making presentations.
I also taught a bit of general English that focused on everyday conversations in different situations such as in a restaurant, airport etc.
