Self introduction and expectations from RIESI CELT TRAINING



Informal letter Dr Ravi Narayana Chakrakodi

Hello Dr Ravi Narayana Chakrakodi,
 I am Swetha Savena from Dakshina Kannada working as GPT English in government upper primary school ,Munnur ,Mangalore South facilitating students of class 6, 7 and 8 ,obliged to write this letter to you.

My native is Vorkady a small village in Kasaragod district of Kerala. I live with my Mummy, Daddy, Akka and kids Shannon and Sharron.

My career as a teacher ,had a variation of teaching experience, in different schools and colleges, guiding students ranging from class 1 to Upper Graduation level . In 2016,  I joined as a  full time teacher in the government sector and have been growing professionally since then.

Teaching is my passion. My profession is the guiding star to me, to learn new things everyday , I try to keep updating myself with new techniques and innovations, pedagogical skills etc., with the help of teacher support programmes and engagement with the students.

I dislike, when authorities, who come on their visits, check on students and based on that, judge my performance. I don't mind for positive criticism and constructive feedback, but don't like to have destructive feedback, which may hamper my teaching-learning experience.
One more thing which I hate is maintaining records of each and everything ( most of the time a hard copy).still I console myself saying, it's a part of our learning 🙂🙂😀.

I have come here , with the hope of improving myself, so that, I can be a good facilitator for my students, equipped with new methods of teaching learning pedagogical skills etc.

As per the reading and writing section or session concerns ,firstly III would like to learn the methods of writing anything, briefly to exhibit my ideas coherently and precisely.( which I couldn't do in this letter I feel.)
Secondly, I would like to grow interest in reading various reading materials.
I would like to implement, the methods I acquire, in my classroom and last but not the least,  I would like to know the ways to develop writing skills among my students.

Hope, I will be going back, with some fruitful gain from RIESI and impart the same in to my students, in a practical manner.

Regards
Swetha Savena.
Thanks for the space and time sir/ RIESI.

Exploratory Action Research on Descriptive Writing

Exploratory research topic To develop the descriptive writing skills among my pupils. Research questions : 1. How to develop descriptive writing, among my students? 2.Unlike mother tongue, why can't my pupils express their ideas coherently and precisely in English based on the imagination? 3. Do other teachers too have tried with this task?  If yes, what strategies have they used to develop the descriptive writing skills? 4. What students need to train themselves in descriptive writing? 5. As a teacher of English language, how can I help my students to develop the descriptive writing skills? Objectives: 1. Pupils should be able to understand what to describe, why to describe as well as how to describe. 2. They should be able to understand that description should be so realistic that readers can feel it. 3. I want to involve my students in writing and enhance their imagination and strengthen their sensory skills engage them in reading and writing. The need for developing...

My identity as a writing teacher.

Teachers, by nature, are verbally strong. We are known for our usage of tongue than pen. So I always used my oral expressions to communicate my ideas to others. I used to write only when I was asked. So my narrative skills are backed by verbal skills as well as the call of the time.  Though, I was participating in various speech competitions, I was poor, disinclined in writing. (In that manner , it's better to say I am poor in writing.) I am Substandard in analysing anything critically but good at imagination ( I feel 🙂).  After entering into the teaching profession, I felt the need for creative writing, where I wrote few skits for my students on different occasions and made them enact. Then I realised that teachers writing identities also shape their writing instruction and affects the attitudes and values passed to the students about writing. With regard to my students, I haven't done anything so far to improve creative writing skills among them. But I will try to grow inte...
