About This Resource

The classes organized by the Freedom English Academy, are aimed at building comfort, confidence
and competence in oral communication. The one hour forty-five minute weekday class  is designed
using international language learning framework. For 30 minutes, students listen and learn from
computer based program. Thereafter, for 1 hour 15 minutes, with the Facilitator’s guidance, the
students practice the learnt concepts in the Workbook and through oral communication activities.

Along with developing communication skills, Freedom English Academy is also committed to
building cognitive and non-cognitive skills among its students, making them independent thinkers
and responsible individuals. The language lessons are layered with activities to nurture a problem-
solving mindset among students to improve their prospects of getting professional jobs and help
them become active contributors in their communities.

The FEA program is benchmarked to Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
(CEFR), Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), Project Zero
Thinking Visible competencies. It draws heavily on learnings from Project-based Learning,
International Baccalaureate, Tribes TLC® and Intrinsic Institute Leadership Development
Program.

The lessons in these books and the methodology to teach them has been designed by FEA
curriculum team under the leadership of Ms Payal Mahajan, abundantly supported by Mr. Avishek
Singh, Ms Pallavi Vasisht and others at FEA. This team has worked painstakingly over the years
with educators and experts like Dr Robert Hagan, Dr Brian Davidson, Dr John Mergendoller to
create an powerful and effective tool to give disadvantaged youth a pathway to professional jobs and
community leadership.

The purpose of this Handbook is to serve as a comprehensive lesson-plan resource for those
facilitating the learning of first generation learners of the English language, organizing information
to foster comfort with the language at early Beginner (Level I ). The language-acquisition activities
in this handbook will also build habits of mind to thinking critically and creatively, for self and
others.

All lessons/activities, will require the facilitators to be certified to teach and prepare themselves well
before teaching them to the students.

The Facilitator Handbook comprises 46 lesson-plans, as a part of early Beginner (Level I) to be


completed in 2 months. At the end of the 2 months, the Facilitator, Evaluators and designated FEA
staff will assess language acquisition of the students to determine progression to late Beginner
(Level I).

F.E.A. Good Practices

As capable and committed facilitators, many of the F.E.A. staff adopts practices and strategies to
help students learn and perform better. These are some of the good practices that the F.E.A.
facilitators have adopted independently and/or collaboratively:
✦ Get F.E.A. graduates involved in helping current students.
✦ Take feedback from students on a weekly basis to improve center and facilitation.
✦ On the day of PTI, students teach parents to speak a few sentences in English.
✦ Preparing weekly ‘To-do list’. It helps in identifying irregular students and accordingly home
visits are made to counsel/guide such students.
✦ Sharing attendance percentage on weekly basis with students.
✦ Sharing monthly goal related to attendance and learning with parents and having a discussion
on it so as to motivate them to send their children regularly.
✦ Appointing Senior Monitor - The work of senior monitors is to make other monitors more
effective in their roles.
✦ Feedback Box/Compliment - Visitors and students are asked to share their feedback on
facilitators’ facilitation skills and center. Facilitators work on the feedback provided to them.
✦ Star Session : Facilitators select best session out of all 4 sessions. Criteria for this selection is
participation and regularity of students.
✦ Have more participative students talk with a shy student for 2-3 minutes everyday to create a
bond between them. It also helps the shy student overcome his shyness.
✦ Appointing Monitors for a week by rotation.
✦ Changing seating arrangement of students so that they gain confidence and get to know other
students of the class. 
✦ Making shy students lead the QOD discussion.
✦ Having same high expectations from all students.
✦ Appointing Anchors in all sessions. Anchors call students for presentation/role play in
a pre-determined order.
✦ Use Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce strategy. Pose - state the question or task instructions; Pause
- give students time to think/reflect on the question or task instructions, ensuring that the
students hold their speech and think; Pounce - ask Student A and then Student B to answer;
Bounce - ask Student C (immediately) after the response, his/her opinion of Student A's or
Student B’s answer asking them to support their answer with reasoning.
✦ Students need an Entry Password - this is a new word that they have learnt or vocabulary from
the previous day’s lesson.
✦ Make Student Profile identifying interests, strengths and weaknesses of individual students.
✦ Gallery Walk - Have the writing samples of students on D.E.W. wall and make the students
walk around to read the writings of others.
✦ Rate yourself on how the lesson was taught and how well the students understood the lesson.
Use that to reflect in the Facilitator’s Reflection section in the Handbook.
✦ On a weekly basis, ask students to walk around the room and look at the charts and wall displays
and share their thoughts about the displays.

ideas/explanation from your peers)

For Facilitator’s Reference:

‘Aunt' and ‘aunty' - In common usage, aunt is a sister or sister-in-law of someone’s parent while
auntie/aunty is used for friends/acquaintances of parents (in India). Sometimes, 'aunty' is just a
more casual way of saying ‘aunt’.

When talking about our parents we use the father/daddy/dad/mother/mom/mummy and while
addressing them we use daddy/dad/mom/mummy.

Commands, Instructions and Requests

Compare these two sentences:

1) 'Close the door, please.’



2) 'Close the door.'

How do they sound?

1) is a request. We are asking someone to do something.

2) is an instruction. We are telling someone what to do.

Sentence two uses an imperative.

An imperative is a base verb (present simple verb). Imperatives are direct and often used when
we are angry or giving instructions:

'Sit down! Be quiet! Stop talking!’

‘Boil the water.’ ‘Add the tea leaves.’

We can make 'Close the door' into a request by adding 'Please': 'Close the door, please.’

on top form one group, and those with their right arms on top form the other.

For Facilitator’s Reference -

Movies in classroom are not for entertainment but for learning -

1. Movies can be distracting. It is important that you completely watch and know everything about the
movie you are showing so that it does not lead to unwanted conversations and situations.

2. Movies can sometimes be very long, so ensure that you begin and end on time. Do not give in to the
temptation to continue watching. There is a lesson to be taught/learnt for the remaining 1 hour of the
time.

• The other team(s) have to guess what the object is.


Each team gets 20 seconds to discuss what the item
is. As they discuss the sound, they should use
sentences like, “It might be a …”, “It must be a….”
After 20 seconds are up the team must make a final
guess as to what the object is.

• Scoring - If the teams use:

‘must’ and guess correctly, they score ten


points.

‘must’ and guess incorrectly, they lose ten


points.

Reflections: Did you try any of the ideas about engagement and participation that you thought of

the day before?

If yes, did they work? Why?

If not, what prevented you from trying them out?

For Facilitator’s Reference -

Energizer 2 - Write Your Name: Using your index finger as an imaginary pencil, write your
name in big cursive in the air. Now repeat using different body parts as your pencil— elbow,
knee, toe, head. Make sure all your ‘i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed!

Possible and probable (adj) all denote "likelihood" in meaning. However, there are some
subtleties between them.

First of all, "possible" emphasises the likelihood in an objective manner, but it always implies a
sense of "the likelihood is minimal". For example, ‘It is possible for a beggar to become a
millionaire.’ Use ‘might’ for possibility. “He might lose his job if he continues to come late.”

Next, "probable", means verifiable, and thereby "substantiated, reasonable, and credible”. In
contrast to "possible", it indicates a strong sense of likelihood.

For example: ‘It's possible, thought not probable, that the beggar outside my house will become
a millionaire.’ ‘The probable cause of his death has been diagnosed as heart failure.’ Use ‘may’
for probability. “He may lose his job when the project ends.”

For Facilitator’s Reference:

A “hobby” is a non-professional activity that someone pursues as their particular interest. It


implies a degree of passion and sustained attention from an individual. A pastime is something
that people do for relaxation in their leisure time, which may or may not be considered a
hobby by those involved.

For Facilitator’s Reference:

The difference between weather, climate and season is a measure of time. Weather is condition of the
atmosphere over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over longer
periods of time.

A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather. Seasons result from the yearly
revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of
revolution.

Reflections: What are your students doing well?

For Facilitator’s Reference:

Listening and Hearing

To hear is to physically experience the sense of sound. As long as one's ears and brain are capable of
processing sound waves, one can hear. It is involuntary.

To listen is to choose to use the ability to hear. One who listens is thinking about what is heard, what it
means, how to respond, and whether to continue to listen/pay attention. It is voluntary.

Imagine three people seated together, with two of them speaking to one another. The third, temporarily
not involved in the conversation, pulls out a phone and begins to play with it, ignoring the conversation.
This third person can hear the conversation, but is not listening to it.

See, Watch, Look

To see is to physically experience sight. As long as one's eyes and brain are capable of processing visuals,
one can see. It is involuntary.

When we look at something we are trying to see what it is – we are paying attention. We can see
something even if we don’t want to, but we can only look at something by choosing to. It is voluntary.

‘Watch’ has more or less the same meaning as ‘look’. We usually use ‘watch’ to talk about looking at
events that change or develop like a movie or a match.

Energiser: Making words using arms to make letter of the word - In groups of 4 students step
out and they are given a simple 3-4 letter word. Each member of the group becomes a letter,
uses his/her arms to show the formation of the letter and stand in the order of letters in the
word.

Home Vs House - House is more like a concrete structure - there's no particular emotional
aspect to it.

A house will turn into a home once there are people in it that will create their own special
environment for themselves.

A home is an abstract concept and can be in places other than houses like caves, cliff dwellings,
huts, igloos, etc. It's what you make of that place that counts and is special enough to call it a
home.

Are there some students who are struggling with English more than others?

What can you do to help them? (Discuss with peers during PLC)

Have you invited 3 - 4 suitable FEA graduates/HO staff/your peer for the next

lesson?

For Facilitator’s Reference:

What do you say when you do not have the answer to a student’s question?

Training and lesson preparation should prepare a teacher well for what students might ask and
how to answer those questions. But, there may be occasions when the teacher doesn't have the
answer to students’ questions. In that case, the teacher needs to be honest and can:

• think out loud to model his/her thought process which shows students how to think

through rather than just shrug, “I don’t know.”

• talk about how/where the teacher/student can find the answer. It should not be perceived

by the student as adding to his/her work. If it is, they may stop asking questions as that

entails additional work for them.

• inform the student that the teacher will get back to them with an answer and be sure to

do so. If the teacher doesn’t revert to students about the answer soon, they may lose faith

in her word.

For Facilitator’s Reference:

Energizer : Class-Pass Challenge: Begin the challenge with all students standing by their
chairs. The teacher starts by throwing a paper ball to a student; that student tosses the ball
to another who is standing. After passing the ball, the student sits down. This is repeated until
all students are seated. The last student standing throws the ball back to the teacher. Repeat

the activity.

Challenges: Time how quickly the class can do it one time or count how many times the whole
class sits down in three minutes.

Production of ‘w’ and ‘v’ sound -

To make the /v/ sound, put your upper teeth onto your lower lip. Use your voice as your breath
passes through the teeth and lower lip. To make the /w/ sound, push the lips forward and say /
u/, then let the tongue and lower lip drop. When you let the first sound glide into the second
(usually a vowel follows), /w/ is produced.

APPENDIX 1
The Unhappy Crow
Deep in a forest, there lived a crow. Everyday, the crow would look at his black feathers. The
crow felt very sad because his feathers were not as beautiful as other bird, Everyday, the
crow would try to change the colour of his feathers.

One day, the crow went to a lake for a drink. While he was drinking, the crow saw a flock of
swans happily swimming in the lake. The crow was happy to look at the beautiful swans.

They had soft and white feathers.

"No wonder their feathers are so beautiful and white. They are always swimming in that lake.
If I want to have feathers just like them, I must swim in that lake," thought the crow.

When the swans got out of the lake, the crow slowly went into the lake.

"It would not be long when my feathers will become as beautiful as the swan's feathers," said
the crow happily.

After a few hours of swimming in the lake, the crow began to feel cold. He quickly got out of
the lake. The crow felt sad because his feathers still looked black.

"Never mind, maybe it takes some time to change. I will come into this lake again tomorrow,"
thought the crow.

Since that day, the crow had been dipping himself into the lake everyday. But still the colours
of his feathers never changed. The crow did not want to give up.

One day, the crow got into the lake as usual. Suddenly, a swan went near him.

"Why are you swimming in this lake?" the swan asked.

"I want to have white and beautiful feathers just like you," answered the crow.

"Even if you were to dip yourself in this lake for years to come, your feathers will never turn
white. There may be a reason for you having black feathers. We are all made to be different. It
is useless swimming in the lake," the swan advised the crow.

STORY
There was a man named, _________. Let’s give them man a name? Students’
response in complete sentences.

One day, _______ (man’s name) saw a cocoon. What is a cocoon? (Students’ respond
in complete sentences.)

He loved butterflies for their bright colors. _______ (man’s name) used to spend a
lot of time around butterflies. He knew how a butterfly struggled to grow from an
ugly caterpillar into a beautiful. _____ (man’s name) saw that the cocoon had a tiny
opening. This meant that the new butterfly was trying to make its way out through
the shell of the cocoon. . He decided to observe how the butterfly would come out of
the cocoon. ______ (man’s name) noticed that the butterfly was struggling to break
the shell for several hours. Unfortunately, even after continuous attempts for several
hours, there was no progress. It seemed that the butterfly was giving up.

Have you seen the birth of a butterfly? (Students’ response in complete sentences.)

______ (man’s name) decided to help the butterfly. He got a pair of scissors to make
the opening wider so that the butterfly would be able to come out easily. Finally, the
butterfly emerged without any struggle! Unfortunately, the butterfly no longer
looked beautiful and had a swollen body with small and weak wings.     

______ (man’s name) was happy that he helped the butterfly come out of the
cocoon without any more struggles. He continued to watch the butterfly and he was
quite excited to watch the butterfly fly with its beautiful wings.  

What do you think happened next? (Students’ response in complete sentences.)

Unfortunately, the butterfly just crawled around with weak wings and a huge body.
It was never able to fly.  

Although he wanted to help the butterfly and ease her struggle and pain, but the
struggles and continuous effort from the butterfly to come out of its cocoon makes
its wings bigger and stronger. Without the struggle, the butterfly was weak and
could not fly.

So what do you think about the story? (Students’ response in complete sentences.)

SUCCESS STORIES

Bill Gates

Yes, the richest person in the whole world and founder of Microsoft,
couldn't make any money at first. Gates' first company, Traf-O-Data (a
device which could read traffic tapes and process the data), failed
miserably. When Gates and his partner, Paul Allen, tried to sell it, the
product wouldn't even work.

Albert Einstein

Einstein , the famous Noble-prize winning scientist, didn't have the best
childhood. Many people thought he was just a dud. He never spoke for the
first three years of his life, and throughout elementary school, many of his
teachers thought he was lazy and wouldn't make anything of himself.

Thomas Edison

Although the exact number of tries has been debated, ranging from 1,000 to
10,000 attempts, it's safe to say Thomas Alva Edison tried and failed a whole
lot before he successfully created the lightbulb. His response to his repeated
failures? “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”

Sachin Tendulkar

The great Sachin that we all know never attended college. During his early
periods he was trying to become a fast bowler and started training to
become a pace bowler. But Dennis Lille was not impressed with him a nd ask
him to focus in his batting. Rest is history.

Narayana Murthy

Infosys is a big name in computer softwarre industry. N.R.Narayana


Murthy, the founder of the company borrowed $250 from his wife,
Sudha Murthy for starting the company. Mr. Murthy had a dream. But no
money. But he had the courage, knowledge and dedication. Early days the
company had no phone, no car, no independent office. The company was on
the brink of collapse during the early years. Still they managed to keep it
afloat. Today it is a Fortune 500 company.

Anecdote

Once there was a young boy named, Abdullah. His parents were very committed to his education and
learning. One day, Abdullah told his parents that he was tired of all the studying that his parents make
him do everyday. The energetic boy wanted to be outside playing and not at his desk learning languages.

Abdullah’s mother called him aside and explained why it was important to study. She said, “Supposing we
left a lot of material possessions - big house, jewellery and cars. What would happen if there is a strong
earthquake and the big house and car are destroyed and the jewellery is no where to be found under
the rubble? Good education and learning is not like that - it never leaves you, and remains with you till
you die. With that good education and learning, you can earn and buy big house, jewellery and cars.”

With such encouragement from his mother, Abdullah started studying diligently. He later came to be
known as Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir, a leading author in Malaysian literature.

Lesson 1 - Scrabble
Objectives
1. Students will get a flavour of game-based learning.
2. Facilitator will get a sense students’ current level of vocabulary.
Materials
¥ White board, marker, duster
Procedure
1. Discuss the Question of the Day and answer to the previous day’s question. (15 minutes)
2. The facilitator divides the class into 2 groups – Group A & B. Ask each team to give
itself a name. (2 minutes)
3. The facilitator draws 10 -12 parallel vertical lines and equal number of horizontal parallel
lines on the board to form a series of 12 - 15 empty boxes. (2 minutes)
4. The facilitator calls a member from each team to come to the board and gives
instructions. (2 - 3 minutes)
5. The representative from Group A gets to write one letter in the box and the passes on
the marker to the representative from Group B to write another letter in one of the
remaining boxes. Taking turns, each member gets 3 attempts (writing one letter is
counted as one attempt) each to make a complete word and score points equal to the
number of letters already inserted in the word. For example, Student 1 from Group A,
writes letter O, he passes on the marker to Student 1 from Group B, and he writes a
letter N and score 2 points (1 point for O and 1 point for N) for making a complete word
ON. He/she then passes the marker back to Student 1 from Group A who continues to
find an empty box and write a letter. He/she may write S before ON and earn 3 points (1
for S, 1 for O and 1 for N) for his/her team. Both students from Group A and B get 3
attempts and can make words, if possible or write independent letters in empty boxes, if
words are not possible/don’t know the possible words. (5 minutes)
6. After 3 - 5 attempts each, both the representative return to their respective groups and
two different representatives - Student 2 from Group A and Student 2 from Group B
and the game continues. (40 minutes)
7. While playing, each team will have 3 lifelines that can be used by a particular
representative from that team. To avail of a lifeline, the representative must announce
clearly - “I would like to use a lifeline.” Then the facilitator can ask him/her which lifeline
the representative would like to use. He/she can choose from:
• ask the team members to suggest - the team will nominate a team member who can
help the team representative.
• write two letters at once. The students will have to be mindful in using this lifeline
and us it only when they feel adding two words will make a complete word. If they
use it wrongly, they may end up making the task easy for their opponents.
• delete a letter from anywhere and put a different letter (just one letter) to make a
complete word or make a new word.
8. The facilitator keeps the score and when all boxes are filled up restarts the game with
fresh vertical and horizontal lines and boxes.

Lesson 3 - Hangman
Objectives
1. Students will get a flavour of game-based learning.
2. Facilitator will get a sense students’ current level of vocabulary and get to know them
better.

Materials
• Slips of paper with hints (Appendix 2 - FHB)

Procedure
1. Discuss the Question of the Day and answer to the previous day’s question.
2. The facilitator divides the class into four groups of 5 students each. Each team is asked
to assume a name. The name of each team is written on the board.
3. Round 1 - The facilitator keeps one slip of paper on the table and one representative
from Team A picks up the slip and reads the hint/question aloud.
4. The facilitator then draws as many horizontal lines on the board as the the number of
letters in the answer to the question. (e. g. If the hint on the slip of paper is “ A person
who makes furniture.” The facilitator draws 9 blanks, one for each of the 9 letters in the
word, “carpenter”.)
5. The facilitator draws 7-strokes stick figure being hung on a noose and with each
incorrect letter, one stroke is drawn. At the 7th wrong attempt the stick figure is hung
and game is over for Team B. (Appendix 2)
6. Team B gets 7 attempts to guess the answer by calling out one letter at a time. If the
letter is in the word, the facilitator writes it in the appropriate blank. However, if the
letter does not belong on any of the blanks, then it is counted as one attempt. For each
wrong letter one stroke is drawn. The wrong letter is written in a corner so that Team B
does not repeat its mistake.
7. Round 1 continues till Team B is able to guess the word correctly or makes 7 mistakes
with each mistake resulting in a stroke and the 7th stroke hanging the man, whichever is
first. If Team B gets the word right before the stick figure is hung, they score 1 point. If
they the stick figure gets hanged at the 7th mistake then Team B does not score and
Round 2 begins and is played with Team A. If Team B guesses the word in say third
attempt, the team gets the number of points equal to the number of chances left, in this
case 4 points (7 total attempts – 3 taken attempts = 4 points). The facilitator maintains
the score on the board.
8. Round 2 - The facilitator keeps another slip of paper on the table and one representative
from Team B picks up the slip and reads the hint/question aloud.
9. The facilitator then draws as many horizontal lines on the board as the the number of
letters in the answer to the hint on the slip of paper.
10. The game continues as time permits and the team with the highest score wins the game.

Lesson 4 - Word Chain

Objectives
1. Students will demonstrate their awareness of the sound/pronunciation in a fun way.
2. Facilitator will be able to assess students’ pronunciation.

Materials
• Ability to think on your feet (or seat!)

Procedure
1. Discuss the Question of the Day and answer to the previous day’s question.
2. All students sit in a semi-circle and the facilitator speaks a word related to family.
3. Student 1 has to speak a word beginning with the ending sound (not letter) of the given word.
Student 2 has to speak a word beginning with the ending sound of word given by Student 2 and
so on. All words must be related to a topic. In case a student speaks a word that is not correct
(either the sound or the topic is incorrect), the facilitator does not point it out to the student but
makes a mental note of it for future teaching.
4. Round 1 - Play with no - category. Students can say any word and, if they pronounce it correctly
and it begins with the ending sound of the previous word, they will get a point for it. The word
chain continues till each student has spoken. If someone makes a mistake, i.e. pronounces the
word incorrectly; guesses the ending sound incorrectly; comes up with a word that has been
said already; or fails to come up with a word to within 5 seconds; the error is ignored and
another student is asked to assist the student. The game continues till each student has been
given a chance in that round.
5. Round 2 - Play with other categories from Book 1. For e.g. name of areas (colonies, lanes,
cities). Student 1 - Aya Nagar Student 2 - Raghuvir Nagar Student 3 - Ram Lal Chowk etc.
6. It can also be made complex by playing by ending letter (not sound) of the word. For e.g. kite...
eagle etc.
7. Another variation can be that the students must spell the word and not just speak it out.
8. The game can also be played by elimination of students who make an error and the last student
remaining in the game is the winner.
9. This can also be played as team game with 4 teams and each team sending a representative each
to play the round.
