Pratishruti Singh-Agarwal

If you ask those who have newly acquired the skill of driving, they will tell you, it is more difficult for them to use reverse gear than simply driving on the highway. Same is true with the majority of English teachers who for decades together have continued to use the tools and techniques prescribed by great Grammarians. The stark reality in the countries like India is that 80% people who claim to speak English use erroneous expression. The writers of this study have been using the reverse methodology to impart the knowledge of correct and accurate English language. Whenever student commits an error, for from scolding him or her teachers must treat it an opportunity to initiate interaction with the student to guide him. This study lists a number of such situations where students committed errors and the teacher converted those situations into opportunities of fruitful and joyful learning experiences. These techniques if used appropriately are sure to transform the monotonous and dull learning exercises of grammar and language into stimulant and joyful interactions in classrooms.
