Biswajit, the trustee of Abheda Foundation, says, “We always took a bottoms-up approach as we believe that a student-oriented teaching is much more effective than a syllabus-centric one.” They plan to increase the number of modules to 79 with special emphasis on conjugation, preposition and vocabulary. “These are the typical pain areas for Bengali-medium students.
The basic objective of this free content is to enable learning of basic English in six to eight months in self-learning mode and in one to 1.5 years in classroom teaching mode (tablet-TV). These are meant for students of class five to eight. We are developing a new version of the software, also named Abheda English, which will include more intuitive quizzes and attractive content. This new version is presently undergoing beta testing and will be released in November on Google Play Store,” he informs. This app, has more translations and comprehensions, and is meant for any student with a bit of knowledge of English words.
“The app is free, and it has a curriculum and day-to-day lesson plan. It is developed to enable teachers and students to teach and self-learn respectively. Teachers are free to download the app on their android mobile and teach the contents for a fee. It need not be through Abheda Foundation,” he adds.
