Welcome to the course English in Daily Life!
English in Daily Life is an especially designed programme for learners who
wish to improve their English so that they can communicate in their daily life. It
is meant for those of you who already have some basic skills in the language and
are now ready to acquire greater proficiency in it.
The Course aims to improve your command over the English language by giving
you extensive practice in reading, writing, speaking and listening. To improve
your accuracy in the language, we have given you practice in grammatical
structures. This will also help you in editing your work as well.
Though this is an ODL Course, it is nevertheless communicative and interactive
in its approach, as you will find out as you attempt it. We have prepared an audio
along with the Course, and we suggest that you avail of the facilities of teachinglearning and interaction that we will provide you at the Study Centre. Moreover,
most of the activities we have given in the units encourage you to interact and
communicate.
Extensive research informs us that ‘fluency’ precedes “accuracy” We have used
a wide variety of text types to make you fluent in the use of everyday English.
Our selections (both for reading and listening) deal with issues of contemporary
relevance and include topics such as greetings and introductions, travel, health
and fitness, the workplace, social values (class, caste, gender, peace, etc.) and
the future. By drawing examples from day to day life and by involving issues that
concern all thinking people, our programme aims not only to raise your social
awareness but also to give you command over the language to express your ideas
and concerns.
We suggest that you read and reread the passages set in the reading comprehension
section, and as you continue reading and make sense of what you read, you will
gain fluency in the language. The comprehension questions are a teaching device
to check your own understanding of the passage. Do not look at the answers until
you have attempted the exercise. The vocabulary section will enhance your word
power. We suggest that you try to guess the meaning of the difficult words from
the context of the reading passage and use the dictionary for the exact meaning.
While attempting the listening activities, it is a good idea to make notes as you
listen. You must listen to each listening text at least twice.
In the pronunciation and speaking section it would be a good idea to listen first
and then repeat after the teacher.
In the writing section we have given you practice in a variety of text types ranging
from a short descriptive paragraph to essays, letters, reports, posters, speeches,
emails and so on. We have given you a sample answer in each case – treat it as a
model on which you may base your own writing.
The answer key contains answers to all the exercises. For some answers variations
are possible which are also correct. If you don’t understand why some of your
answers are wrong or different from the model answers given .
