Q 8. Do teachers at The Prathams communicate in English with children?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ans 8. For the first few days, we give more importance to kids getting adjusted to the new
environment of school and so we do not hesitate in conversing with the child in a vernacular
language, especially of toddler and nursery grade. Once the child gets used to school and the
new environment he/she is in, English takes the place of vernacular language gradually. Thus,
English becomes the mandatory mode of instruction in school, giving child a comfortable
language learning experience.
