greets you all.

International's Strategic Language Enhancement programme
00:08 - 00:11
brings you a magical wand
00:12 - 00:14
to make your life
00:15 - 00:16
progressive,
00:16 - 00:17
active
00:18 - 00:19
and interesting.
00:20 - 00:25
How do you think a language development programme brings you all these things?
00:27 - 00:32
I definitely see people getting happiness because of this programme.
00:32 - 00:35
They get freedom because of this programme.
00:36 - 00:37
How is it possible?
00:39 - 00:40
I imagine a classroom
00:41 - 00:42
where
00:42 - 00:46
students are involved into an organised to study.
00:47 - 00:49
When they are looking into the book,
00:50 - 00:55
they are seeing so many words which they are not able to understand.
00:56 - 00:57
Some of the words are tough.
00:58 - 01:02
Some words are tough to pronounce. Some words are tough to understand.
01:03 - 01:08
Some words are tough to apply in a sentence when they are articulating
01:09 - 01:10
when, such as the condition
01:11 - 01:13
how easy will be the study.
01:14 - 01:15
They'll find it difficult
01:16 - 01:17
to go past a page
01:18 - 01:21
and after reading it's difficult to memorise.
01:22 - 01:27
And once they memorise it when they want to articulate it in their own way
01:27 - 01:33
in their own language, they are finding it difficult to write the examination.
01:33 - 01:36
This is what is happening
01:36 - 01:38
in 90% of the students.
01:39 - 01:46
The solution is we need to go for a well researched, organised age,
01:46 - 01:48
appropriate content,
01:48 - 01:51
which makes you confident
01:52 - 01:54
in 12 years of time.
01:54 - 02:00
If you are studying language in any school, you should become a scholar
02:01 - 02:06
because you would have attended at least around 2000 classes in that.
02:06 - 02:12
But sometimes it's not happening. Actually, many times it's not happening.
02:12 - 02:13
Why is it so?
02:14 - 02:16
We have done an extensive research
02:16 - 02:19
to make that not to happen,
02:19 - 02:24
but to see to that each and every child becomes a scholar in English.
02:25 - 02:29
This is the route in which they travel.
02:29 - 02:33
We focus on lexicon. To start with the word bank,
02:34 - 02:36
we take age appropriate words.
02:37 - 02:43
We have taken the top most 10,000 words, and then we have given it
02:43 - 02:46
class by class, grade by grade,
02:47 - 02:51
1000 per standard, according to their age.
02:51 - 02:54
It's a national and international research,
02:55 - 03:00
and not only the words we are not giving the words just as words,
03:00 - 03:02
because you need to understand
03:03 - 03:05
the meaning of the word.
03:05 - 03:07
Before we go to the meaning.
03:07 - 03:10
We need to understand the pronunciation of the word.
03:11 - 03:12
Just, for example,
03:13 - 03:14
see the following words.
03:15 - 03:17
We are saying words like
03:17 - 03:18
Clement
03:19 - 03:20
cliche.
03:20 - 03:24
I guess some of you would have started learning phonetics. Some of you must be good,
03:25 - 03:27
but many of you must be struggling with this.
03:27 - 03:29
Why phonetics
03:30 - 03:31
see these words?
03:31 - 03:34
There are so many words are starting with
03:34 - 03:36
CO.
03:37 - 03:39
But then see the phonetic symbols,
03:40 - 03:41
the pronunciation
03:42 - 03:44
of each and every word differs.
03:45 - 03:46
The first is
03:48 - 03:48
our
03:48 - 03:50
sound is missing,
03:51 - 03:52
and that's why there's no R there,
03:53 - 03:53
cause
03:55 - 03:56
the second C was
03:57 - 03:57
Oh,
03:59 - 04:00
that sound.
04:00 - 04:00
It said the
04:04 - 04:05
and the next is
04:05 - 04:07
both the same here
04:07 - 04:12
and then see the next word. COIFFED. It's not.
04:12 - 04:12
It's
04:14 - 04:16
sound is coming here as
04:18 - 04:20
and the last word.
04:20 - 04:22
We most of the time pronounce it well
04:23 - 04:24
collector.
04:25 - 04:29
But then the previous word, the last but one word.
04:29 - 04:31
It's not collateral.
04:31 - 04:33
It's collateral,
04:33 - 04:38
isn't it? Only when you see the phonetic symbol both are same. You just see that
04:38 - 04:39
in collector
04:40 - 04:42
and then collateral.
04:43 - 04:44
So you see the pronunciation
04:44 - 04:45
being the same
04:46 - 04:48
like this for each and every word.
04:49 - 04:49
In SPE
04:49 - 04:52
book, you will see phonetic symbols.
04:52 - 04:55
So with that you'll be able to learn the words.
04:55 - 04:59
You'll be able to see the pronunciation of each and every word,
04:59 - 05:03
and then from state level onwards, you'll be having
05:04 - 05:07
more detailed study on phonetics also,
05:07 - 05:10
so you will be tested with each and every phone.
05:11 - 05:15
And all these things are not studies in paragraphs and pages.
05:15 - 05:17
These are all just exercises.
05:17 - 05:21
And then you will be learning about root word
05:21 - 05:22
morphology.
05:23 - 05:25
So what do you mean by root words here,
05:25 - 05:27
What do you learn here?
05:27 - 05:29
So root words are a route
05:30 - 05:31
to amaze
05:32 - 05:34
great amount of words.
05:34 - 05:36
So what kind of roots we are talking about?
05:37 - 05:43
English words have come from many other languages as root words
05:43 - 05:49
like it has taken root from French words nearly 20%
05:50 - 05:55
and from Germanic words, another 20% and
05:55 - 05:55
not
05:56 - 05:59
and Roman words like Greek and Latin.
05:59 - 06:01
So Latin words are also there.
06:02 - 06:03
So like this
06:03 - 06:05
roots have come from different languages.
06:06 - 06:10
That's why sometimes pronunciation of CH in a word, is
06:10 - 06:12
as in mechanic
06:13 - 06:15
CH, uh, in a word, is,
06:15 - 06:17
as in child,
06:18 - 06:19
CH is,
06:20 - 06:21
as in
06:22 - 06:22
chef
06:23 - 06:24
Champagne,
06:24 - 06:27
depending upon which language it has come from.
06:27 - 06:29
So, mechanic
06:29 - 06:29
a
06:29 - 06:31
chemist, these are all,
06:32 - 06:34
uh, Greek derived words
06:35 - 06:37
and words like,
06:37 - 06:38
uh,
06:38 - 06:39
Children
06:40 - 06:47
child chanting. These are all old Saxon words. Mostly it will be like that.
06:47 - 06:51
So Anglo Saxon words which has come in this will be pronounced old English as.
06:52 - 06:54
And if they are,
06:54 - 07:01
mostly 99%. It'll be French derived words like champagne
07:01 - 07:03
and the
07:03 - 07:04
chef
07:05 - 07:06
like that.
07:06 - 07:08
So isn't it interesting?
07:08 - 07:16
So these are all 100 root words. Act as keys to unlock more than one lack words.
07:16 - 07:21
So what kind of root words are we talking about? Simple root words like this.
07:21 - 07:25
More than 3500 words ends with ER.
07:25 - 07:26
What do you mean by ER?
07:27 - 07:30
ER can be more as in the Latin root,
07:30 - 07:33
so more sweet is sweeter. More clear is clearer.
07:33 - 07:36
More bright is brighter, more thick, thicker, more thinness thinner.
07:36 - 07:39
But it is not more teachers teacher, isn't it?
07:39 - 07:42
So here it is. One Who are that wish
07:42 - 07:46
ER OR A. Are all these roots one who are that way?
07:47 - 07:52
That which divides this divider? Who one who manufacturers is manufacturer,
07:52 - 07:54
doctor, engineer like that?
07:54 - 07:56
Interesting, isn't it?
07:56 - 07:57
And then
07:58 - 08:03
it's there in 6500 words, in action of in Action of verifying his verification,
08:03 - 08:05
clarifying his clarification.
08:05 - 08:06
I'm just,
08:06 - 08:10
uh, telling about only a few roots which are there in many words, like
08:11 - 08:16
is in more than 1000 words full of venomous, venomous full of superstition.
08:16 - 08:17
Superstitious,
08:18 - 08:22
full of dangerous, dangerous, full of famous famous Is it not interesting?
08:22 - 08:24
And then words like MENT.
08:24 - 08:31
It's almost like a TANIANANIST like instrumentalist vocalist pianist.
08:31 - 08:35
Why so many words are ending with I EST again one who, like beauty
08:35 - 08:40
and Indian Jamaican one who a N, Is it not interesting?
08:40 - 08:43
Yes, this helps you to get anchored.
08:44 - 08:47
This is how this must be the meaning of this word.
08:47 - 08:51
When a child goes to a dermatologist, he or she needs to think dumb
08:51 - 08:54
plus logy. Plus is
08:54 - 08:59
one who studied about skin related things. Is it not interesting?
09:00 - 09:02
So I love this concept.
09:02 - 09:06
We have done a research with a great amount of love in this subject,
09:06 - 09:08
so that students will be able to
09:09 - 09:11
learn it in a much interesting way
09:12 - 09:16
and in a quick way, because by learning around,
09:16 - 09:21
we have detailed here around 180 root words in all your books.
09:21 - 09:25
So that takes you to more than two lap words.
09:25 - 09:30
So that's a It's a shortcut, and any word you take like disease is not a disease.
09:30 - 09:33
It's a this plus ease not at ease
09:33 - 09:34
and remind the
09:34 - 09:36
plus mind, plus
09:36 - 09:36
uh,
09:37 - 09:39
it's like 10 plus
09:39 - 09:40
and then
09:41 - 09:43
pending penned plus
09:43 - 09:43
in
09:43 - 09:47
so penned beans hanging so hanging thing
09:47 - 09:50
pendent pendulum pending job Something like that.
09:51 - 09:54
So you will love the subject when you start reading it.
09:55 - 09:59
So we have brought a thing like experiencing
09:59 - 10:03
the joy of learning and also our GK. Very interesting.
10:03 - 10:07
We have given age appropriate books in your
10:07 - 10:10
case. So whichever book you're supposed to study
10:10 - 10:11
so like
10:11 - 10:17
you will have a level by level content,
10:17 - 10:22
and then in every level you keep progressing.
10:22 - 10:27
First, you read about a lexicon like word bank and then the root words,
10:27 - 10:31
and then inflexions like how one word becomes many other words.
10:31 - 10:34
And then you from the second level onwards,
10:34 - 10:37
you start learning the meaning of the words like
10:37 - 10:38
you'll be chunking and learning
10:39 - 10:42
like 300 words per level.
10:42 - 10:45
You'll be learning the meaning also, So that's another interesting thing.
10:46 - 10:49
In level one itself, you'll be learning syntax. Which sentence is right.
10:49 - 10:52
Which sentence is wrong, so you just need to take it.
10:52 - 10:57
But then we have given explanations on why it is right and why it is wrong.
10:57 - 10:58
So you'll be going up
10:59 - 11:08
but level by level 1234 in every year Inter School State National International
11:08 - 11:12
And then you go to the next year and then you start completing.
11:12 - 11:16
So, for example, grade one Children will get books like this,
11:16 - 11:19
so they are getting all pink colour books.
11:19 - 11:20
So Inter School State,
11:20 - 11:23
national and international and international You get a hard bound book with, uh,
11:23 - 11:26
all your words with 50% pictures.
11:26 - 11:28
That is the most interesting thing.
11:28 - 11:31
You can match the picture with the meanings. You also get meanings.
11:31 - 11:38
And you also get other related words like how, uh, run becomes run, run,
11:38 - 11:42
running for run for runner for runners
11:42 - 11:44
and run, run!
11:44 - 11:44
Run
11:44 - 11:47
us to all these combinations You will see in
11:47 - 11:49
the book along with the word so that you learn
11:49 - 11:54
the family of the whole world and then you can furthermore develop also.
11:54 - 11:58
So this is for Group Two. This is for Group three,
11:58 - 12:02
and this is for, like, grade. These are all these are for grade four students.
12:02 - 12:07
Maybe you can take it a step forward, so sometimes you'll find it very difficult to
12:07 - 12:12
answer. Grade one books, even if you are in grade eight or nine. Grade one books.
12:12 - 12:12
Also,
12:13 - 12:17
it's very difficult to answer unless until you have gone through it thoroughly.
12:17 - 12:22
And so this is for Grade six and Grade seven
12:22 - 12:24
and then Grade eight,
12:24 - 12:28
and the next level is for 9, 10, 11 students.
12:28 - 12:32
Mostly, since these are people are very busy in their career,
12:32 - 12:37
we have given words on carrier management we have in Grade nine books.
12:37 - 12:38
We have detailed around
12:38 - 12:44
100 different carriers and their what is the explanation of
12:44 - 12:49
those carriers and then words about their personality emotions.
12:49 - 12:51
That helps them a lot.
12:51 - 12:57
And then we have done the detailed work on phonetics. Also, we have done
12:58 - 12:59
search on this.
12:59 - 13:02
We have given the simple ways of learning phonetics
13:02 - 13:05
with just one example of one with one picture,
13:05 - 13:07
and also we have complex chart.
13:07 - 13:12
And then we've given the top three words for each and every pronunciation
13:12 - 13:15
in the phonetic chart, you can see it's free, Of course.
13:15 - 13:17
Please go to our website WWW dot
13:18 - 13:21
spell the international dot com
13:21 - 13:25
Go and ask for phonetic chart. You can
13:25 - 13:27
play it in your classrooms. Also,
13:28 - 13:32
when I take chart, it's, uh, interacts an interactive tool click,
13:32 - 13:35
and you can hear the sound of the symbol so you can learn
13:35 - 13:39
it and then click the words you can listen to the sound.
13:39 - 13:43
So this is a sound for, uh as it comes, and
13:43 - 13:48
so the same thing for urban person. So this is for stir,
13:49 - 13:52
so they will not do a mistake of reading this as stir
13:52 - 13:54
or still stir.
13:54 - 13:55
Right.
13:55 - 13:57
And then So these are all like this ear
13:58 - 14:01
ear hero. It's not hero Sylvia
14:02 - 14:02
hero
14:03 - 14:04
ear, ear.
14:04 - 14:09
So here you may get a conclusion. Some of them may get a confusion when double O comes.
14:09 - 14:10
Here it is.
14:11 - 14:12
It's a short
14:12 - 14:16
We also introduce you one word, at least which is most common.
14:16 - 14:20
And then here the word examples are like, What if the sound comes in the,
14:21 - 14:23
uh, initial position
14:23 - 14:24
in the middle position
14:24 - 14:26
and in the final position
14:26 - 14:28
and different spelling uh,
14:29 - 14:34
graphene combinations of spelling which gives the this
14:34 - 14:36
particular sound So we are particular on that
14:36 - 14:42
and then see how useful it is when words like this cook shot. You know who
14:42 - 14:43
sound
14:43 - 14:45
and then fooled
14:46 - 14:47
That is long,
14:47 - 14:50
right? Fooled, same double O.
14:50 - 14:51
But then here it is
14:51 - 14:54
cook as it comes in foot
14:54 - 14:56
FOOFOODF
14:57 - 14:59
GOOD good
14:59 - 15:02
BLOOD blood.
15:02 - 15:04
Ah, that sound blood
15:04 - 15:06
DOOR dot
15:06 - 15:07
door
15:07 - 15:11
So four different sounds you are getting here.
15:11 - 15:15
So the better thing is to learn things along with your phonetic chart.
15:15 - 15:16
So this is spell
15:17 - 15:20
And for nine years when you are continuing in spell,
15:20 - 15:22
you have an
15:22 - 15:26
wonderful spread of things. Whatever is there in
15:26 - 15:30
accuracy part of English, which helps you in fluency.
15:31 - 15:33
We do
15:34 - 15:39
provide it as a curriculum. You learn till pragmatics you learn literary devices.
15:39 - 15:45
You learn till pragmatics and many more things like comprehension,
15:45 - 15:46
comprehension of a poem,
15:46 - 15:49
comprehension of a dialogue, comprehension of a letter,
15:49 - 15:53
comprehension of a product label and what is new this year?
15:53 - 15:57
This year we have joined with
15:57 - 16:04
human security for all project joined with them It's a project for was
16:04 - 16:07
World Academy for Arts and Science.
16:07 - 16:10
It's a organisation started by Albert Einstein in USA
16:11 - 16:12
and
16:12 - 16:14
we have launched this programme
16:14 - 16:18
just to have a connection
16:18 - 16:22
for the fluency programme of yours Like when you are writing something,
16:23 - 16:26
why don't we simply rather than simply writing,
16:26 - 16:32
Why don't we write for a national course cause or an international course?
16:32 - 16:34
Now that you're going to give
16:34 - 16:38
in the programme some speeches or you can record your speech and saying
16:38 - 16:40
You can draw artwork and give these all this all
16:40 - 16:43
will be given as assignments in the boot camps,
