Department of English, MKBU has organized guest lectures for students. We have two guest from Sardar Patel University. Dr. R.K Mandaliya and Dr. Javed Hussain Khan. Both are excellent in their subjects. Mandaliya sir has come to teach metaphysical poetry to semester 1 students. Javed sir has come to teach ELT to semester 3 students. Here I use word “to teach” but on his very first class he said, “I’m not here to delivering a lectures, I’m here to interact with you.” So the full session with him is full on liveliness.
• Interactions In class
In his very first interaction on ELT (English Language Teaching), he talk about to know the difference of teaching English as native language and English as a foreign language. Both should have different needs and different ways to learn and teach. Then he talked about ELT for primary education and English for higher education. How the level of students differ at every level and how we still have methods of primary education level in syllabus to learn.
Then as a core topics sir discussed English for specific purpose, English for academic purpose and English for literary purpose. He talked about how English for specific purpose has different fields and every field has it’s own different language. Then in English for academic purpose he discussed essay by Liz-Hamp Lyons, major points of EAP (English for Academic Purpose) 1) Eclectic discipline and 2) Pragmatic discipline. Then how needs assessment is necessary in EAP and he also talks about his dissatisfaction with Liz-Hamp and her essay. Then he talked about English for literary purpose which includes the language of poetry, drama and novel.
• Teaching style and our experience
As sir interact with us and for effective interactions communication skills are needed and sir has got the command over these communication skills. His teaching style has his personal touch, while talking about different things he connect his experience and made interactions lively. On the very first day he has given the word “SEEK”. He says one should seek knowledge, and have to work by the skin of their teeth, then and then they can achieve what they want. His presentations are full of information and he deliver this information by using his excellent speaking skills.
These two days learning experience was good and it will definitely going to help us in exams and also as teacher in future. As he gave one advice that “if you choose to be teacher be a good teacher, excel in your subject otherwise many students are going to study under your hand and if you are not good in your subject you are going to spoil the future of students which is sin.” So we are very thankful to Javed sir to share with us his knowledge and also to our Head of the Department Dr. Dilip Barad to invite such experts in our department.
Thank you.
