The Delhi government and the US Embassy launched an English teaching course for teachers from women’s colleges in the city. The 10-week-long online English teaching programme was launched by Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Minister Counselor for Public Affairs at the US Embassy David H Kennedy for 700 pre-service teachers from all-women colleges of the city. At the event, Sisodia also invited US First Lady Jill Biden to visit Delhi government schools and interact with students.
Besides Kennedy, other senior embassy officials were also present on this occasion.
“We are training future teachers, they are getting quality training in advance so that they work for the best of our children. English is a key language in developing global perspectives and it’s important that our teachers and students are well-equipped with it,” Sisodia said.
“The courses will promote reflective and learner-centred pedagogy as mandated in the NEP, and will enhance teachers’ abilities to support the development of students’ English language proficiency in all subject areas, as well as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and other 21st Century skills,” said a Delhi government statement.
Kennedy said that English is an important language for economic development and student mobility. The courses are designed to address vital objectives outlined in India’s new National Education Policy (NEP) and will help teachers teach English, the Delhi government said in a statement.
