Adhyapika Teacher Training in Faridabad

Adhyapika Teacher Training in Faridabad As a certified trainer I was always looking out for a good opportunity through which I could empower these friends and colleagues of mine through a good professional development Programme with the necessary skill. It was then I started my work on the 360 degree learning programme – AdhyaPika we began the journey of training teachers.

Via this programme methodology students/teachers /educators would spend a lot of time training and practicing lessons with materials that would give hands on experience to them. They would learn to recognize child’s readiness according to age, ability and interest and would be future ready to guide them in their individual progress. Our aim is to spread awareness about the Montessori philosophy and methodology to all corners of the world and our endeavor is to instill in every teacher (and aspiring teacher) the Montessori guiding spirit.

English grammar as it came down to us was mostly based on Latin, Greek and Sanskrit; all these classical languages were studied and analyzed in great detail by scholars. English Grammar consisted of elaborate rules, definitions and exceptions about the structure of the language. It dealt mainly with the physical form of words, word endings, word groups and sentences and not their total meaning as a piece of communication or conversation.

Prescriptive – Formal Grammar: According to early childhood care and education just as the dictionary lists words and their meanings, English Grammar classified words minutely as parts of speech, and sentences. It further divided them as kinds of nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc. and gave us many rules on sentences and transformation of sentences. For this analysis, isolated sentences mainly from written English were considered. Spoken English was largely ignored. Current usage was also not considered.

Thus grammar, as a body of knowledge grew out of naming and labeling Form words and defining and classifying them as abstract categories. This was like knowing the anatomy of language. Just as a patient cannot recover by knowing the anatomy of his body, a student cannot use language by knowing the rules of Grammar. It was felt by famous grammarians that the study of rules and exceptions would help students learn English usage. In their view, rules came first and examples later.

Even in our schools, for a long time grammar and composition were taught as separate subjects, dealing with the elements of language and neglecting their function in communication.

Grammar laid down rules for all times and did not take into account the changing usage of English. Such grammar was called Prescriptive Grammar, as it prescribed rules for everyone to follow without questioning. In the classrooms, the teaching of such grammar was called Forma. Grammar, as they proceeded from rules and definitions to examples. As we know, even these rules of language were not universal and there were many exceptions to them. E.g. Plurals – book – books, boy 6%s but child-children Tenses, walk – walked (past tense) but go-went, talk-talked, run-ran.

In teaching Formal Grammar the ever changing nature of the English language and using it meaningfully were totally ignored. http://www.adhyapika.org/
