T. Sushmitha, 9 years old, 5th grade student in Andhra Pradesh, India: “Of all the subjects I’m taught, Telugu is my favourite. I find English very difficult to learn as it has big, complicated words that I don’t understand. If taught at a slow pace, I can understand easily. English, unlike mathematics is not taught as part of the activity based teaching.
I don’t understand what I’ve recited, as most others in my class. Everyone finds it difficult to understand English.
Since I find difficult to learn and understand English, I want it to be taught at a slow pace and repeatedly till I understand.”
