During the time that you will spend at the Gujarati school there are four main exams you will be preparing for.
The first one which is the starting exam is called the Prarambhic exam which is a basic exam which tests the basic knowledge of Gujarati. This exam stands you in good stead for all the other exams.
The second is Pravesh which tests basic essay writing skills and comprehension.
The third is at Parichay level which tests all round knowledge of Gujarati and examines the high level of essay writing, speaking and questioning.
The final exam, GCSE, is the highest qualification which can be obtained. This exam ensures that a high level of understanding is reached and all parts of the language are learnt. |
- Teach every item in such a way that it becomes interesting and thought provoking to the listener, particularly for the children.
- Teach with simple words, with facial expressions. Each word should convey not only the actual meaning / vaachyaartham but also the purpose of the explanation / lakshyaartham
- Listening to the explanations/narrations should become an entertainment for your children, where thinking, laughing, commenting, etc should be included.
- Teaching should not become a burden (bhaaram ) it should become the part (bhaagam) of the day today life. It should further get elevated into a blessing (bhaagyam) for the children.
- While giving all the explanations, you should narrate things by recollecting your childhood memories and the expectations/ desires as a young listener.
- Teach your children about the great books written in ancient India. Analyze their contents and narrate the details. Explain in story telling format. Explain not merely the contents of the books, but also about the author and the way in which it is written.
- If possible give children the opportunity to recollect what they heard in the previous lessons. Everything should be presented leisurely and in an interesting way.
