How the English camp helps students in real life use of English

“The English Camp” Influences positively in students’ real life use of English by giving them meaningful opportunities to communicate in practical situations.Through activities such as mini drama ,teamwork, storytelling and fluency speaking students gained confidence to speak English outside the classroom. Reading and vocabulary tasks helped them to  recognize and use new words in daily contexts .This camp encouraged students to listen ,speak ,read and write naturally and to use English more comfortably in real life situation .

How I was inspired

I was newly appointed to the Olcott   and I felt that students need a change .Therefore I suggested an English camp and designed it to improve the four skills of the students’ .By using a camp song, a camp oath I wanted to add a variety to the camp. Furthermore I used new technology for designing the camp. Teachers of the English unit got together and helped me to make a difference in the teaching learning process. I organized this camp during the Covid season for two days and I had to take the necessary steps for the safeguard of the students too. Finally objectives were achieved and the camp was a real success.
