MATERIAL PRODUCTION TEAM


Dear Teacher,

The Resource Material for English covers Classes I to VIII. It is an

attempt to empower the teacher with more activities which can be

used in the classroom. The need to master English has always been

felt and hence Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan decided to target the

elementary classes, so that students can be confident by the time

they reach the secondary stage. The heavy stress on writing, at the

cost of developing other language skills, has been one of the main

causes of our students’ poor communication skills. This book

attempts to redress the imbalance by adding inputs on developing

listening skills along with the other skills of reading, writing and

speaking.

Each Unit of the textbook is covered. The four core skills of

Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing are the focus points of the

material. Teachers can make copies of certain activities or

exercises for use in the classroom.

Teachers should use the Listening and Speaking skills, in particular,

so that our students are as comfortable using English as they are

their mother tongue. Feel free to select some activities or all of

them, the choice is yours. Do keep a judicious balance between oral

communication and writing practice.

I hope this book proves useful to the teacher, who is our first

stakeholder and through the teacher to the students who are our

first beneficiaries.

USHA ASWATH IYER

DIRECTOR, ZIET BHUBANESWAR
