Standard 4, Unit 1, Chapter 1 - 'Fun Together'

We, at English E.Teach, are believers in 'Joyful Education'. Rather than being very strict while teaching, we believe in making the mood lighter to impart learning in the most fun manner. In our #PeekintoourDVDs campaign, we let you into the world of English lessons that we have created following the textbook, to make it really interesting for the children. 

For standard 4, the year begins with the following action song:

What we have done here is teamed the English lines, with some supporting lines in Marathi. It makes them easier to sing along to. 

Once the kids have enjoyed the song once, we insist that the teachers play it  once again, so the children can learn via repetition. 

Then, we continue onto the next video to understand the action words they have learned from the song. 

Check out the following video to know what we mean -

Now, the kids will understand your questions better and get visual support to answer them as well. 

This was just one example. However, there are other videos like this for all the chapters, unit wise, page wise.

Introduction to the 'Peek into our DVDs' campaign

English E.Teach is a project where custom made DVDs are distributed FREE to the Vernacular Schools of Maharashtra, to help teachers conduct their English Classes. Not only do the classes become more enjoyable, but also effective. Moreover, it helps the teachers, especially from the rural areas, who are themselves wary of the English language, teach better English - with the right pronunciations and a firm grasp of the concepts. 

Lot has been spoken on the Social Media platform about how efficiently these DVDs have impacted the lives of children while having an astounding 180 degree impact on helping the teachers and their institutions. People - teachers, educationists, parents even - have come forward and given testimonials in the favour of the DVDs. Better still, the BMC has granted a blanket permission to all the schools in Mumbai and instructed us to enter every ward in the city and as many schools as we possibly can. 

But, people who happen to stumble upon our facebook page or website - are often clueless about the actual contents of the DVDs. And most often they can’t even imagine the kind of detailed animations and effort that has been been put into this product. 

With the intention of helping our future collaborators (in any form - volunteers, donors, School principals, teachers or parents even!) get a peek into our DVDs, we are creating this playlist on our Youtube channel which will have small videos from the DVDS. 

The idea behind posting this playlist is to give the interested people a glance of what happens in our classes. 

Remember that these DVDS are distributed for FREE.

So in case you are a NGO or an individual who wishes to use our content – don’t just lift it from youtube. Rather get in touch with us - we will be more than happy to share the entire set of DVDS with you.
