English Language Forum (ELF)
English Language Forum is the brainchild of the Department of English. ELF aims at fostering the intellectual growth of the student community. It taps the innate creative sprit and talent that lies embedded in the minds of every individual. It focuses on molding the personality of the student by fine-tuning the communicative skills through an array of activities.
Adequate exposure in the realm of functional English and social communication, Academic communication, Business Communication, language through literature are given through constant training in debate, group discussion, panel discussion, presentation, seminar, workshops, interview techniques and personality development. These activities sensitize the complacent mindset of the pupils through a revolutionary metamorphosis in the innovations through motivation, which comes about with technological overtones. It surfaces with the manoeuvring of the so-called new vogue of teaching English with sophisticated gadgets like computer mediated communication and language laboratory. ELF gears up to a smooth transition of a raw, amateurish pupil shining on borrowed plumes into a well-chiseled and embellished individual to attain greater heights through courses developed exclusively for them.
With this vision and foresightedness, greater weightage is accorded to student centered learning environment with emphasis on Oral and Written Communication, Business English, English for Competitive Examinations, Creative Writing in English, English for Travel and Tourism, Multiple intelligences and ELT, Internet Tools for Teaching-Learning, Personality Development, and Interview Techniques to name a few. These are also offered as Certificate Courses. This ultimately equips and enables them to face placement interviews with utmost confidence. This in turn is a fruitful endeavour on the part of ELF to prove its efficacy in enabling the students to enter the portals of MNCs and IT Industries. This also facilitates interaction on a plane that is compatible in
the corridors of business and power.
