Delhi Govt, Burlington English Partner To Improve English Language Skills
School teachers will also be trained for language improvement and enhanced learning outcomes so that they can support students better
Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Burlington English, a leading global provider of English language learning solutions. As a result of the partnership, students will be provided support to develop global competencies in the English language thereby making them confident & future-ready. The programme named “ईnnovation in कmmunication” (Innovation in Communication) will focus on strengthening the schools' efforts to develop an immersive English language learning environment by also building the capacity of the respective school teachers through digital and offline interventions. It is in line with the Delhi government’s vision to help students develop 21st-century skills.
As a part of this partnership, more than 200 students will get all-around support for developing English language communication, which will be powered by deep technology. A wide range of learning options will be provided to students of Classes 1–12 in other Delhi government schools as well, that are not yet affiliated with DBSE. While for Classes 1 to 5, it would work to level up language acquisition by integrating content and technology to improve the way the English language is learnt, covering interesting themes; for Classes 9 to 12, it would aim to boost the spoken English skills amongst the students to support their future skilling and employability needs.
This will further augment teacher capacities through a blended program, to further enhance their English language learning and teaching competencies and equip them with the techniques to drive improved learning outcomes.
