English is often called the unofficial language of the world community, which is undisputed since half of the world’s scientific journals are written in English, three quarters of the world’s mail is written in English and three fifths of the radio stations of the world beam their messages in the English language!

For academicians, developing command over spoken and written English would be an additional asset that will go a long way in improving communication skills.  Bombay Veterinary College had therefore taken a decision to establish an English Language Laboratory that could be used by students and staff.

On the basis of the feedback I have received after the 4 day Linguaphone training Program, conducted by Ms. Kirtida Joshi on use of Linguaphone to learn English, I can comment that my faculty and staff members have enthusiastically welcomed it and have shown a great deal of interest.  Not only have they improved their vocabulary, but a lot of other tips during the course have increased their confidence and approach.

I am sure my students, faculty and staff will greatly benefit from this.

Dear Sir,

Quality inputs in education have become more relevant in view of globalization trends leading to empowerment of students and teaching community of the State. Keeping in view prevalent professional competitiveness, it is our endeavor to provide a qualitative edge to the capacity building of our Human Resources.

To ensure improvement in linguistic skills, our teachers are being provided specialized training of Spoken English. Seven Lingua Labs, one at each Divisional Head Quarter, have been set up in the first phase for imparting training to enhance the command of the teachers of government schools on communication and use of English. The key to mastery over any art, language or skill is practice. This is being made possible by the availability of these state-of-art, language labs in Ajmer, Bikaner, Bharatpur, Udaipur, Kota, Jaipur & Jodhpur. This practice shall enable us of global spoken English in the wider curriculum transaction in class-rooms. The Labs established under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan by RCEE are installed with 115 Lingua Phones, through which the teacher is to be imparted training in vocabulary, conversation, situational role-plays, summarizing, comprehension etc.

I am sure Lingua Phone 21 will prove highly relevant for teachers of classes VI to XII through its four level programme with 1554 interactive activities, 16 hours of recorded material, 28 Units of study in 8 volumes. To give an overview of the contents and teaching learning strategy of the programme, this supplementary material will help teachers effectively obtain the desired outcomes.

In view of the importance of qualitative education. I hope our teachers will make this effort a success by deploying skills acquired through this training programme effectively in class room transactions.

Dear Sir,
It gives me pleasure to write to you that my staff, including I have successfully cleared the First Level of the Linguaphone Language Training.  The experience of learning a better English Language in a novel way was wonderful as well as delighting.

We got great support from the Trainers and the Kit supplied.  I am sure that all my staff members have benefited from the training and look forward towards mastering the next Level too.  Few of my teachers suggested though that with certain consideration there were chances of more improvements.  Suggestions mainly dealt with more grammar exposure, option of C.Ds. along with Cassettes, shorter and frequent sessions instead of daylong session, availability of a stand by Trainer in case of emergencies etc.

Finally I would like to thank you and your staff for benefiting my Institution by improving its communication skill and hope that such sessions will continue in future too.

Assuring you of my best co-operation for times to come.

Sincerely yours,
Head Master
