‘Write’ path to rid kids of English fear

KRISHNAGIRI: The walls of a small, once-unused classroom of a government school in D Kothanur now stand adorned in vibrant yellow and green. The English Language Forum at D Kothanur Government High School in Krishnagiri, the handiwork of English teacher S Roopa Sree, offers a beloved space exclusively dedicated to boost the language skills of students. A 41-year-old Roopa Sree, who has been teaching at the D Kothanur High School since 2022, came up with this initiative after the district administration suggested teachers to figure out and implement measures to aid slow learners. However, in lieu of setting up a space only for slow learners, Roopa Sree decided to develop a language forum that could be beneficial for all students. It took us over a month-and-a-half to set up the forum with decorations and colourful interiors,” says Roopa Sree, who spent approximately `2 lakh from her personal savings for the facility, which was inaugurated by Chief Education Officer A Muniraj on Children’s Day, last year.
