ELTAI WORKSHOP on 13th October 2023

 THEME: The Science and the Art of Human Engineering in ELT 

All teaching pedagogies indeed a part of societal attributes. From time to time the writers have objectively written about multi-dimensional order of complex of relationships. To quote a critic here when reading or teaching a text - it is not about the "author" we have to concentrate - it is about the "words" which are nothing mystical about the fact  that ideas and words are energies which powerfully influence the physicochemical

base of our time - binding activities. Humans are this made untrue to "human nature" - and their essential character in material life suppresses their REAL HUMAN NATURE. 

The workshop sessions primarily would try to bring the link between Science and Sanity that is to make audience realise about the verbal and objective world, which to human senses at first instant appear as structural knowledge, relations and then stimuli to response. So how intentions, ideas, despite socially attributed, yet often remain unscientific, repugnant, stupid and short sighted. 

Referring to this theoretical framework chosen for the workshop - the first fifteen minutes of the session will be structured on visualisation of certain kind of space-binding activity; then the next half an hour session would give them opportunity to differenriate between the simple interpretation and the time-binding interpretation of the text or of visuals. And the third part of the workshop session that can exceed as per the time slot either to showcase the audience two visual - clips of films - "The Man Who Harnessed the Wind" and "The Ransom of Red Chief" or to discuss some known text for example - "Silence! The Court is in Session" by Vijay Tendulkar and Henrik Ibsen's "Dolls House" or R. K. Narayan's "The Man- Eater of Malgudi" - generally prescibed in the subject English Literature syllabus for academic purposes..

 The three main objectives will be covered up in the technical sessions of the workshop:

1. To understand the language in terms of scientific language

2. To keep the conscious connection with text or visual. 

3. To develop correspondence between language and verifiable referents, so to process psychotherapy.
