Students from another school in Pirojpur yesterday took part in amusing interactions at the English language fair held under English in Schools (EIS) programme, a joint initiative of The Daily Star and mobile operator Robi. Adcomm Ltd is the creative and event partner of the fair. Over 180 students of Pirojpur Government Girls' High School participated in joyful events at the fair held at the school auditorium in the morning Nazma Ara Begum, headmaster of the school, inaugurated the fair at around 1:00pm. Guardians of the students and Robi officials were also present. Following screening of The Lion King, a globally renowned movie, students took part in spot quiz, vocabulary test and situation based question answer-all based on movie. Selected students took part in extempore speech on different topics and role play. Students also entertained the audience by reciting poems, telling jokes and singing songs. Addressing the function, senior teachers Syed Md Altaf Hossain and Moshin Rahaman said the learning techniques shown in the language fair are helpful for both the students and teachers as picking up a language is enjoyable and more effective than learning a language through a lot of effort. They distributed prizes among the winners of different competitions at the end of the programme. Aiming to promote English language learning among school students across the country, The Daily Star in cooperation with Robi undertook English in Schools programme in 2009. Under the initiative, each of one thousand schools selected from 64 districts of the country receives three complimentary copies of The Daily Star five days a week. The ongoing English language fairs at different schools are being held in coordination with the education ministry as part of the three-year-long programme.
