writing. One of the advantages of learning English at Hello English Corner of SEVAI Shanthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School  is that students engage in these skills with their teachers who speak only in English so that the students first get used to listening to the language, becoming familiar with it. The listening skills are strengthened this way. Also, students engage in speaking by answering questions, developing activities, and talking with their teachers and classmates. This helps them to get to know new vocabulary,

idioms, and other characteristics of the spoken English. Since this is done daily, students practice the English speaking skill continuously. Another important area is the reading of stories and texts as an integrated approach to English Learning. Speaking English allows the children to actually broaden opportunities to the ability to relate to children of city schools. The benefits spoken English bring in the life of a person’s knowledge of the English language are countless. The latest world news and discoveries, the most important discussions and the various fields of books is firstly available in English. Thus an efficient functional English Course of the School will benefit the school kids at par with the city kids. –Govin
