COMPULSORY ENGLISH
(FOR 2005-6 - & until further notice)
Compulsory English Course for F.Y.B.A. Examinations of March/April 2006 onwards
Bridge Course for ‘B’ stream of F.Y. B.A., F.Y. B.Com. and F.Y. Drama
Bridge course is to be given at the outset to the students enrolling in ‘B’ stream. They have different levels of proficiency in English and so need to be brought on par. It is suggested to have 21 lectures, each of 45 minutes before the beginning of the teaching of regular syllabus. The said course should have a pretest to judge the standard of the entrants. It should also have a post-test to judge the student’s progress.
The following components and an approximate number of 21 lectures (of 45 minutes each) are suggested. However, the teacher would be well advised to lay stress on those items in which a particular group (as would be evident from the pre-test) is weak. The following list should be seen more as a guideline than as a fixed syllabus:
