Answer 1

How to promote a reading (learning) environment in your English classroom?

 

Healthy environment is the key to healthy learning. Class-room space can be utilized to create learning-conducive ambience for the students. If I am ever given the task of optimum utilization of my class-room, I will do the following:

1.The first and foremost thing I will do is have the classroom painted with vibrant colors; have some bright lights installed in the room. The vibrancy of the color and the intensity of light play a role in keeping the spirits upbeat. High enthusiasm is a must for effective learning.

2.Secondly, I will have some beautiful notice boards installed in the class-room to put optimistic, inspirational posters on them. I will also have some inspirational thoughts or quotes put on them regularly to instill positivity in the minds of students. Posters of inspirational personages such as Abraham Lincoln, Dr. APJ Kalam, Helen Keller, Jesscia Cox, or Nick to further inspire the students to do the impossible.

3.Thirdly, I will have the traditional board replaced with smart-board. Traditional black board or green-board makes leaning boring. I will have only smart board in the class-room and teach students on that board using all the audio, video, graphical inputs.

4.Fourthly, I will have some plants put in pots in the classroom for the purification of air. They will also enhance the beauty of the class-room and have a positive effect on students.

5.I will ensure perfect cleanliness in the class. A clean environment also has an agreeable effect on the students.

6.Sixthly, I will have some natural aromatic essence in the class for pleasant aroma in the class. Pleasant aroma also improves students’ cheerfulness, focus, and concentration.

7.Seventhly, I will ensure silence in the class; I will teach my students the art of keeping quiet. Quietness and calmness also enhance learning.

8. The another thing that I will make available for my students will be a class-library. Students won’t have to waste time in going to library to get books issued.

8.Finally , I will invite the students to contribute in making the class-space exceedingly learner-friendly. Whenever or wherever I get an idea in this regard, I will apply it in making the class environment better.
