English learning can include elements of Telangana's history and culture. This change aims to connect with local experiences and support meaningful engagement, thus English with a local flavour. That is the idea of the Telangana Council of Higher Education (TGCHE) which is all ready to revise English language curriculum for all under-graduate courses in the State.
The revision of English language syllabus for all under-graduate courses will follow the National Education Policy 2020 guidelines, and English skills will be linked with other subjects, as part of the policy's broad academic approach, it said on Monday.
The revision will focus on less content, but with clear concepts and useful skills, or 'light but tight' idea, it added.
The core of NEP 2020 - skill-based learning to build practical knowledge that supports employment - as the guide, the emphasis will be on English use in real life situations – such as at work, communications, and in digital and creative settings.
According to the Council, the new syllabus will come with a standard digital resource – a 200-page reading material in PDF format, audio recordings of lessons and language elements, and a model question paper – for comprehensive listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary learning.
Teachers too will undergo orientation sessions via T- Skills, Academic and Training (T-SAT) Network for guidance on teaching methods and student assessment.
For the revision, the Council held consultations with experts from English departments from various universities in the State. The curriculum revision will take effect with the current academic year.
