LPU launches special drive to train students in English
IN ORDER to make its students globally fit, Lovely Professional University is laying special emphasis on their all round personality development. The Department of English of the University has taken a unique step in this regard. As this year, it has decided to provide customized English to the individual student.
To improve upon their communication skills, the first step taken by the department was holding ‘The Diagnostic Test' in English. This test was held on-line to identify and classify the levels of ability in English of its new students. Further, it has specially designed and developed books, as well as study material, to provide them high skills in English Language.
In order to make them understand the international language well, speak faster, more natural, with good pronunciation, they are grouped in three categories on the basis of the test. All the students are required to appear for the same. In the next step, the 1st year students (all programmes) are made to have the special Work-Books for the English Courses. It is worth illustration that the work-books are designed keeping in view the level of the students. It is mandatory for each student to have these work-books for their betterment.
In this regard, the Chancellor of the University, Ashok Mittal said: "In this competitive world better and effective Communication is the most important skill required to exist in success. To implement this, our University decided to create and come up with special books keeping in view the different levels of understanding of the various students. No doubt, there were a large number of books available in the market, but these were pulsed as not catering to the needs of the students. So, this special drive is to ensure maximum employability. In fact, Industry requirements are changing and we have to certainly cope with it."
