Activities for the Students:

It was mandatory for each student to complete 20 hours in language lab to complete audio-visual activities, which included watching English Films and basic conversational video clippings, and listening to audios on English language. The students had to listen to the clippings and repeat the dialogues and conversational practices to improve their listening and speaking skills.

Outcomes:

After using the lab, there was a gradual progress in the LSRW skills of the students. They were also able to improve in their comprehension and creative thinking. Many students who had Tamil as the medium of instruction at the school level gained confidence to speak and write in English. The students came forward voluntarily and exhibited their communicative skills by displaying various creative stage performances.
