A batch of 30 timid students sincerely endeavored to acquire communication skills. The rules of grammar were a ghost for them. The seating arrangement was made in pairs. Each pair was provided with different graphic advertisements. Liberty was given to interpret the illustration in English without worrying about the grammatical rules. Fifteen minutes were given to them to ponder over the interpretation of the advertisement. Oral presentation was expected. Initially no one was ready to break the ice. Gradually with a little boosting and inspirations the activity of the students started. They started constructing sentences. Bit by bit they could articulate their interpretations. Each pair had a distinct perspective. They could talk about color, language, along with their symbolic meanings.batch of 30 timid students sincerely endeavored to acquire communication skills.
