Second Language is introduced in the foundational years in TWS.
In Kindergarten 1, children are exposed to the Listening and Speaking of Hindi and Kannada language through a varied activity. Children are conversant with basic transactional skills in both Hindi and Kannada.
Children absorb languages at a fantastic speed. Therefore, it is important to teach them functional rules of Grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, spoken and written etiquette of the language being taught. Language learning at TRIO is made fun and stimulating through a variety of approaches that help children express themselves better through their chosen languages. Communication techniques are also introduced to transform students into powerful communicators. Reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills are given equal importance.
In line with Karnataka Education Department policy for Kannada being taught in Primary, TWS follows a 2-language policy up to Class IV Hindi and Kannada is taught parallelly as second languages. This helps in developing an extra language skill in all our primary students, which then helps them to opt for Hindi/ Kannada as a second language from Class V onwards till Class X.
TWS offers four Second Language options to its students from Class V:
Hindi
Kannada
Sanskrit
French - Introduced and taught from Basics.
We offer Kannada, Hindi or Sanskrit as a Third language which needs to be studied by students till Class VIII
