The Writing Centre hosted a workshop titled ‘Dealing with Difficult Words: How Teachers Can Help’ on 3 March 2016 which was attended by BIL faculty members. Mr. Pankaj Paul, Lecturer, BIL, facilitated the workshop as a means of demonstrating and discussing some possible strategies and techniques to effectively figure out contextual meaning which they will be able to teach the students.
As part of the demonstration, Mr. Paul exercised one of the strategies on a group of students from Pre University course, while a host of BIL teachers and Lady Syed Sarwat Abed, Director, BIL, observed. After the demonstration, the students departed and the second phase of the workshop began. During this part of the session, the BIL teachers shared their opinion and ideas with the Mr. Paul. They also explored and discussed other strategies suggested by both the facilitator and the participants.
