Why English proficiency is more in ICSE schools?
ICSE school are known to Inculcate proficient English skills
in students but many parents don’t know how. Thus, that is what we would talk
about.
Comprehensive English Language Curriculum
English is divided into two subjects with their own syllabus
and examination with equal marks assigned to each of the subjects. This puts
double the time and preparation of the student into the subject that makes them
learn the language in depth.
Globally and nationally derived Literature in English
The curriculum puts emphasis on literature from varying cultures
and literary traditions increasing exposure to the world of literature and the ability
to grasp literature of a larger world. The ability to understand literature
from around the world enables the students to have a perspective of the world
and how they compare to other poets from the country and to also study the
literary techniques and variety of literature it is important.
The Convent Heritage and British Catholic Roots
Britishers during colonisation started schools teaching in
English to make employable youth for the administration and other clerical jobs.
Churches sent missionaries to church schools for propagation of Christianity
and western culture. This was not a brief process and it went on for over a
century and many of the same schools are operating still and are famous and are
taken as inspiration by other schools and provides a constant influence toward
inculcating english as a primary language to the students.
The Curriculum is aligned to International standards
The ICSE curriculum is at par with other international
boards and is similar to UK’s Cambridge
System. Students from ICSE find it simpler to transition to foreign
Colleges and English as a language is also benefiting from the emphasis on
replicating curriculum structure as the foreign boards too put emphasis on it.
The Performance and Peer Community
The students in ICSE schools perform better than their
counterparts in other boards and because one is expected in ICSE to be better in English,
the peer pressure and the normal conversations increases a child’s proficiency.
Conclusion
Students from CICSE get an advantage in The English language because of lots of historic, cultural, traditional and social factors and they display their prowess in TOEFL and IELTS by scoring ahead of other boards.
