Hi Sunil,

I am Bharathi working in Hyderabad as a Voice and Accent Trainer in an MNC. Regarding your project, what kind of modules do you need to prepare?

In Spoken English, we have many modules to learn like grammar, free speech, pronunciation, intonation, etc.

Communication skills are a very vast subject. So, what are you looking for in particular?

Please revert back for any further information.

Hi Bharathi,

Thank you for your willingness to help. In particular, I am looking to build modules like the following:

Module-1: "Making an Engineering student (Techie) speak freely and confidently."
Module-2: Pronunciation.

I am trying to find out the best and easiest order to teach English. Should we start with grammar and then move to tenses, or should we begin with free speech exercises, etc.?

Thank you,

Hi Sunil,

The best way to train candidates in English is to divide it into 3 groups: Spoken or Conversational English, Grammar & Voice and Accent. The broad category of this training program could be Language Enhancement.

1. Spoken or Conversational English - should be situational-based where you train them on the daily use of English; cover topics like Shopping for Groceries, Shopping for Clothes, Visiting a Doctor, etc. and towards the end, you can customize it and add Engineering terms as you wanted.

2. Grammar - Focus on the 8 parts of speech, do not go into details as this attention span can snap. Concentrate on the more important technicalities.

3. Voice and Accent - focus on neutralizing their accent, cover topics like jaw exercises, intonation, syllable stress, rate of speech, etc.

Feel free to ask me for any further information that you would require. Hope this was of some help to you.

Kind Regards,

Dear Bharati,

Hi, I am Jitu Dhomse from Baroda. Recently, I have started a spoken English coaching, and I would like to have some tips on teaching the language and how to go about making the grammar part more interesting. Above all, I don't want to be a typical English teacher; I want to be something different. Can you please guide me?

I need the revised rates of special allowance for the period from July 2008 to December 2008 for Maharashtra industries.

Dear Bharthi,

How are you? Could you please forward the same material to my email address: csujathagem@yahoo.com?

Dear Bharti,

Will you help me to improve my accent? I have a habit of speaking fast and sometimes I get stuck in such a way that I start stammering. Looking forward to your cooperation.
