Summary

Background

India is a country of varied culture with spectacular features. It is the responsibility of each citizen to preserve the tradition and culture of all communities without neglecting their practices and customs. Since English is a non-native language, the children have an artificial fear of learning the new language and its concepts This is fear is very much higher in tribal children when compared to children of urban and rural areas. Stage 2: (Not confident to little confident.) As the learners gain little confidence, they try to work in pairs within the group and here comes the Active Learning Methodology where the children tries to find out the new words and their meanings. Stage 3: (Mind mapping) When mind mapping is introduced by the teacher, the students feel free to express their views about the topic Even at this stage, the children are influenced by their mother tongue and takes a little effort to use the target language in the discussion.
