How We Teach

Learning a new language is a massive intellectual undertaking. But at Zabaan it is made easy by following the right approach and teaching practices. With all our students we first focus on establishing a strong grammatical foundation in the beginning and then proceed to activate their language comprehension and usage skills.

Teaching:

In our classrooms, we strive to create a free and supportive learning environment so that the students can express themselves freely and learn Hindi and Urdu at their fullest potential. We regularly communicate the broader scope and overall goals of each session to the students so that they understand the relevance and practicality of each activity in the learning process. Grammar is taught through a wide variety of interactive activities and drills, in addition to explicit instructions so that our students learn and acquire Hindi and Urdu grammar as effortlessly as possible. Each session is sequenced according to the needs and progress of the student(s).

Materials Used:

In addition to the standard references at all levels (see course pages), we select and use materials that are appropriately challenging and also relevant to our students’ life experience.

Evaluation:

We evaluate the progress of our students informally during every session, in addition to providing feedback oriented formal evaluations periodically. Thus our students have ample opportunity to address their weakness and further develop their strengths along the way.
