Dear Parents,

In today’s world, it is increasingly difficult to find native English speaking English Language Teachers.
To meet this challenge and compliment our already highly competent teaching of English, we are introducing the world famous Linguaphone English Learning System using native English speakers, so that our students get a truly global accent.
The teaching will be carried out in specially set up Language Lab on our premises. Our students will take these spoken English classes as a part of their regular curriculum.
As parents of our students, we are also encouraging any of you who are interested in enhancing your communication skills to make us of our Lab on a nominal payment.
We invite you to the inauguration of the Language Lab at 11.30 a.m. on 31st August 2004 when you can avail of more information on this subject.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Mrs. Stella Samuel

Dear Sir,
We are happy to have linguaphone language lab in our institute. The linguaphone spoken English program has been received well by the students of the Government Polytechnic Mumbai. We hope the combination of books and cassettes will be immensely useful to meet the language challenges.

We would like to mention that since most of the students come from homes, which speak by in their mother-tongue, this program may help them to improve their English by using the linguaphone method.

Yours truly,

Principal

Dear Sir,

I got acquainted with the Linguaphone French six years back through our Principal Dr. P.C. Thomas when he bought a complete set from London. Since then I have been using the pack in my teaching. The children responded quite well to this aided teaching with Linguaphone due to its stress on listening skill. This encouraged us to buy forty sets of Linguaphone French pack from Ms. Deepa (Lotus Learning Pvt. Ltd – Chennai Branch) six months back. We have been the first International School in India to have got introduced to Linguaphone French.

The most fascinating aspect of the pack is its methodical arrangement of lessons and well organized oral and written exercises. It has been quite beneficial for the students who follow the Cambridge programme and IB programme which involve all the four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) which are necessary for learning a language.

Std VII upwards (age group 12 upwards) are the classes which are involved in these streams and we have been able to effectively carry out this pack for the class IX and above so far and the response has been too positive. From the next academic year onwards we are planning to incorporate this pack in our teaching for the other classes which involve IGCSE stream.

I thank our Principal Dr. P.C. Thomas, Ms. Deepa and all others who got me introduced to this pack. I am sure that my colleagues would also find it quite helpful to use this pack as part of their teaching and is going to be an innovative method in teaching as we have clear guidelines provided in the leaflet on how to carry out the course.

All the best to Ms. Deepa and her group who are involved in recommending this pack to various schools which would serve as the best tool in learning the language.
