ENGLISH SYLLABUS FOR SEM. 1 & 2 of JNTU-K
Introduction
The major challenge of a language teaching in a technical institution is
to prepare the student for employability through imparting language
skills to develop communicative competence. The proficiency in English
language is closely linked to 'good communication skills' more so in the
recent times when employability is at stake for want of communication
skills on the part of the students. Since skills and personal attributes
are revealed through communication, the responsibility of grooming
students in life skills is also emphasized as part of language teaching
and learning. The core key skills needed are:
. Communication
. Team Work
. Problem Solving
. Learning Skills
The personal attributes to be groomed are:
. Adaptability
. Commitment
. Enthusiasm
. Stress Management
. Integrity
. Sense of Humour
. Self-Motivation
. Reliability
. Self-esteem
. Personal Presentation Since the inception of the Board of Studies for English, effort
to design a Course Structure that would cater to the needs of a wide
range of learner groups has been made. It was felt by the Board that
the Course Structure has to take into consideration the above
criteria and therefore the objectives of the Language course ought to
be much focused.
Objectives
1: To improve the language proficiency of technical under graduates in
English with emphasis on LSRW skills. 1.1: To provide learning environment to practice listening, speaking,
reading, and writing skills within and beyond the classroom
environment.
1.2: To assist the students to carry on the tasks and activities
through guided instructions and materials.
2: To effectively integrate English language learning with
employability skills and training.
2.1: To design the main course material and exercises with authentic
materials drawn from everyday use to cater to
everyday needs.
The material may be culled from newspaper articles,
advertisements, promotional material etc.
2.2: To provide hands-on experience through case-studies, mini-
projects, group & individual presentations.
Each chapter will be structured with a short passage or collage of passages
for reading. All further exercises and activities will draw upon the broad
subject of the passage(s), and use functional and situational approach
