Teachers
get teaching tips Ludhiana, November 30 He said two important points have to be focussed in order to make the teaching more meaningful. A teacher should develop more confidence in rules of English without pedantic adherence to the rules of grammar. This confidence would provide greater ease and flexibility to the teacher. The school should develop reading skills of its students so that the students once empowered with the reading skills will become selfeducated. These days the children depend too much on their parents and teachers . Effective reading will initiate the learning process faster. In the first session, Mr John suggested ways to make listening and speaking more effective. In the second session, he gave new insights into teaching of ‘reading and writing’. He told teachers how to teach poems and plays in the class and how to teach composition . The stress was laid on to develop a child’s talent by gentle prodding rather than spoon feeding.

Panel discussion on communalism Ludhiana, November 30 These were some of the views shared by the students of Lord Mahavira Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital during a panel discussion held in the college recently. The discussion was conducted by Dr Deepinder Singh and students, including
Shweta, Maninder Kaur, Amritpreet Kaur, Chandni, Rajneet and Tarun, participated in this discussion. They all agreed to the view that religion was not the cause of communal disharmony but the politicians were misusing the name of religion for their own interests. These so-called politicians were using religion both as a sword and as a shield - sword for the Opposition and shield for themselves. Communalism is a sensitive issue that must be tackled more as a political problem than a religious one. It is strange that even in the 21st century people were being killed by their fellow countrymen just in the name of religion or majority. The college students also collected some contributions for the riot-hit children of the country and presented it to the Principal, Dr Ravinder
Kochhar. Dr Kochhar in his address said that the need of the hour was to mould the young minds and hold such informative talks, discussions and conferences. Dr Kochhar also congratulated the students and presented mementoes to them. |
