Samvad- A Faculty Forum

Discussion on 'Reading Skills for Employability and Knowledge'

Preamble: 

Vaad, Vivad and Samvad are the terms in Indian knowledge system where we challenge, discuss and reform the ongoing practices in different domains of knowledge.  In the domain of education, samvad holds even more significance because education is fundamentally the site for knowledge exchange. A Faculty Foram provides a platform to the academicians for expression of their ideas on various issues of education

Theme of the Session :  Reading Skills for Employability and Knowledge.

It is said that one who reads is the one who leads. Though reading is one of the major communicative skills, students take their reading competence for granted. It is one of the most neglected skills to be taught. However, a professional needs to be an eclectic reader who can read faster with more comprehension. Reading habit helps one in many ways. It helps to grow knowledge, to acquaint with the language, to enrich the language competence and to develop communication skills. However reading competence among the students of engineering is a matter of concern which needs an immediate attention from the experts. The questions that arise are

·     How can we develop reading habit among the students and create a culture of reading on campus?

·       How can we enable students to effectively carry out reading comprehension?   

·       How can tech tools be used to address the issues of reading?

·       How can we train teachers to enable students for their reading needs?

The issues stated above need to be addressed by the responsible voices from the field.
