Done for I Nurture

1. NEP 2020
English Aptitude and Skills

2. Aptitude needed by teachers (at the
UG, PG and Research Center levels)
Passion for teaching and upgrading one’s skills in the fields of education and the discipline.
A Ph.D for specilaization and a degree in education is not the end of the road. One has to keep on
upskilling. Research and resultant work is a must as is collaboration with experts, mentors, peers and
juniors to pass on and get new skills needed in the field. Certificates, seminars, conferences, talks given,
research papers are all indices of such growth but the actual pay off must be in the teaching and
learning environment for all the stakeholders.

3. Contextual or context
based teaching
As is being understood all over the world teaching cannot be
divorced from the four cultural contexts of region (local/state
in the Indian context), national, international and
home/immediate and larger society.).

4. Benefits of
learning English

5. The multi
disciplinary
approach
These linkages to the Sustainable Development Goals of
UN which we aim to fulfil by 2030 tell us what to teach and
in teaching these things we connect English and language
teaching to all other disciplines. NEP focuses on this.

6. Education for
all
This is the second thrust of NEP.
•Includes distance learning, adult schooling, home
schoolers and those with learning difficulties, girl
children, genders, the gifted, those with mental health
problems, those who learn only via technological
methods, blended learners, or in short
neurodivergence and not just neurotypical learners.

7. Quality
education.
This is an equally important thrust of NEP.

• Change in the pedagogical structure
•Transforming the teaching-learning process (Practical application
based learning based on core knowledge. In English this means
grammar, vocabulary and LSRW.)
•Stress on the importance of literacy/numeracy skills
•Promoting multilingualism; the power of languages.
( The metastructure of language, its teaching and learning this
becomes more important)
Changes in classroom teaching with the NEP (actual conceptual
understanding)
Change in the assessment pattern (assess core capacities, and core
competencies)
Holistic educational approach between arts and sciences; curricular,
co curricular and extra-curricular activities; vocational & academic
streams.
Vocational training and coding will start from Class 6. (In English
this would mean trying to write, and do other things connected
with it and get paid for it.)
