Spoken Language
Find your English voice
Spoken language underpins everything that follows. Picture descriptions, pair sharing, and careful listening — so children begin to think and speak English without mother-tongue translation.
Think Direct Program
12-week (3-month) weekend programme · 90 minutes per session · batches of 8–10 students
Built for Class 6–10 students in India. Addresses Hindi-to-English mental translation barrier — students who read English but think in Hindi before speaking. A live English programme for high standards of spoken language, reading, and composition — vocabulary and grammar taught for real use, not rote tuition.
Four themes run every month — Spoken Language, Reading, Composition, and Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar & Punctuation. The themes stay the same; the intensity rises each month.
Learning themes
Spoken Language
Confidence and competence in speaking and listening — think and speak English without translating to the mother tongue. Discussion, presentations, and debate.
Reading
Word reading and comprehension. Read easily and fluently with understanding; build the habit of reading widely for pleasure and information — stories, poems, and non-fiction.
Composition
Form, articulate, and organise ideas coherently in speech — clarity, audience awareness, purpose, and context.
Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar & Punctuation
Conscious control of Standard English. Vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic conventions taught in service of speaking and reading — not rote worksheets.
12-week learning plan
Three months. Four themes each month. Rising intensity — foundations, then command, then confident use.
Introduce each theme at a steady pace
Month 1 — Foundations
Build the habit of thinking in English. Every child finds their voice across the four themes before the pace rises.
Reading
Word reading & first discussions
Skilled word reading (decoding and recognition) plus early comprehension through talk. Short texts read aloud; gist before detail; stories and simple non-fiction discussed with the teacher.
Composition
Articulate one clear idea
Composition means forming, articulating, and organising ideas in speech. Short structured turns with awareness of audience, purpose, and context — not essays on paper.
Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar & Punctuation
Language knowledge for real use
Conscious control of Standard English begins here. Vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic conventions taught so speaking and reading become clearer — not rote worksheets.
Same four themes, higher demand
Month 2 — Building command
Longer turns, richer texts, and sharper language control. Students stretch fluency while the four themes deepen together.
Spoken Language
Instant response & listening
Rapid-fire Q&A, role-play, and round-robin opinions with less pause. Listening skills grow alongside speaking confidence; the English-only habit continues.
Reading
Comprehension across genres
High-quality discussion of stories, poems, and non-fiction. Comprehension draws on vocabulary, grammar, and knowledge of the world — retell in own words; answer “so what?” questions.
Composition
Structure ideas for an audience
Form and organise ideas coherently for listeners. Clarity, purpose, and an increasingly wide knowledge of vocabulary and grammar support longer spoken pieces.
Spelling, Vocabulary, Grammar & Punctuation
Precision in Standard English
Spelling patterns for accurate reading, richer vocabulary, and grammar in use. Children discuss their reading and spoken language — and practise controlling Standard English consciously.
Performance-level intensity
Month 3 — Confident use
Discussion, debate, storytelling, and a capstone presentation. The same four themes, now at their fullest stretch.
Spoken Language
Discussion, debate & presence
Speak first, disagree politely, build on others’ points. Formal presentations and debate — elaborate ideas clearly and listen with purpose.
Reading
Wide reading & critical talk
Read widely for pleasure and information. Peer-led discussion of challenging texts; link linguistic knowledge to deeper comprehension.
Composition
Storytelling & structured talks
Personal and structured storytelling (setup → conflict → resolution). Peer feedback on clarity, audience, and structure; draft the Demo Day outline in speech.
Spoken Language + Composition
Presentations & Demo Day
Capstone: 3-minute structured talk plus Q&A — direct thinking, clarity, structure, and confidence. Parents invited for the last 30 minutes.
