to clear these problems.

keeping good pronunciation,stress and
intonation
29. ● There are some students in our
classrooms those who cannot read and
write English.
● Research oriented OSS will give the clear
picture about our classroom processes
and current level of the children and it will
lead to plan our activities realistically.
● If the OSS team assess the pupils
periodicaly,make reports and share it with
teachers wiil help to increase the quality of
classroom process.
30. Suggestions
● Narrative can be used as a connecting link to all
discourses and activites.
● At the same time teachers must be sensitized for
using other triggers such as pictures,animated
films etc.
● If it is developed for the teachers will be helpful
for better comprehension and language
generation.And it can be addressed in training
also.
● Periodical assessment of children and seeking
remedies on the part of OSS must be continued.
31. ● The periodical assessment will be helpful for the
teachers to realize the facts and for the trainers
to find out what help should they provide in the
school.
● Extra reading materials in English must be
developed for the students.It will be helpful for
leading them to read and write easily.
● School wise English clubs and reader's&writers
forum should be functioned in all schools.
● Additional activiies like creative
workshops,camps etc must be conducted for
sc/st,minority and CWSN students.

clubs in all schools
