Answers
It is really very important for us to acknowledge the fact that in order to groom students properly it is imperative for them to be both good speakers and good listeners. In a multilingual country like India, the common mode of communication when it comes to language in all sorts of business and corporate communication is English. In fact, English is a language which is acknowledged worldwide and happens to be the common tongue of the global population. This is a fact which has been recognised by the CBSE or the Central Board of Secondary Education which is under the Central Government of India. It is because of this that CBSE ASL has been made compulsory for all those who pass out from this board.
What is the CBSE ASL and why was it introduced
This is a learning technique which has also been modified into the form of a subject under the CBSE board. ASL stands for Assessment for Speaking and Listening. This is a subject which is compulsory for all those who study in a CBSE board school or one that is affiliated with it. This subject is compulsory for all the students of class 9, 10, 11 and 12 and it works as a grooming technique which helps the students to prepare for their future and hone their communication skill. It is very important to be a good listener if one wants to become a good speaker and that is exactly what this subject aims for. It teaches and trains students through various ways of communicating how to respond and react verbally in different situations. Though which was not a part of the regular, structured curriculum of the CBSE board previously, it has become compulsory, since 2012. The cbse asl was included as a part of a drive to make sure that kids know how to communicate and that too in English. Though it is a general perception that most of the children who have passed out from an English medium school are fair to extremely proficient in this language, the number of students who are actually confident when it comes to conversing in English is really low. There are a lot of factors due to which students do not get acquainted with the speaking part of the language, because in most of the schools, the local language is spoken in casual settings, apart from formal teacher-student interactions, which at times too takes place in the local language. So it is very important that students are formally introduced to the practice of speaking and conversing in English so that they may take part in debates and so that language does not become a barrier for them in all their future endeavours. It has also been seen that young adults, especially from metropolitan cities have a very low self-confidence if they stammer when it comes to communicating in English. Thus the cbse asl also makes sure that a student gets the self-confidence that they need to have.
How does the CBSE ASL curriculum work?
This is a compulsory subject for which students really need to work hard because it carries quite a lot of marks, 20 in total. So if a student scores well in this section, then they can actually increase their score by leaps and bounds. This is another tactic to make sure that ASL is properly integrated into the school syllabus curriculum because until and unless a subject carries marks, students and teachers are always less enthused about working on it. When it comes to cbse asl it is all about practice. There are a number of topics that are given to the students which cater mostly to socially relevant issues on which they have to speak about. Some of the most common topics for ASL syllabus would be:
Child Labour
The advent of Digital India
Environment and its importance
Is it necessary to have a dress code in schools or not
How does Indian development deal with corruption
Privacy in the age of the Internet
Promoting tourism in a country like India
These are all rather heavyweight topics for which students also need to have a general idea about the outside world and be up to date with current affairs. Thus while learning the art of conversing in English, students also have to keep themselves updated. Teachers generally help out the students with the cbse asl syllabus and practise sessions are held in classes so that students get to converse with each other. Teachers moderate the sessions and teach the students how to respond and which words to use so that students feel more confident during the examination.
About the CBSE ASL examination
The practical examination for the ASL is not necessary for the 10+2 examination, but there are other examinations for which you will have to fare well in the ASL practical. There is a theory paper too, of 100 marks for the board exams. Well, when it comes to the cbse asl examination, there is a basic step by step evaluation process that takes place. Remember that this examination always takes place in pairs.
