The Blogger's Note: (Updated) 

The lessons and materials which appear on this blog page from December 2025 onwards will focus on the curriculum reforms to be implemented from January 2026. I have planned to publish activities related to the module based English language learning which would probably help both teacher and the learner.

Best Cloze Passages for OL

 About Cloze Passages: 

  The cloze passage is the 11th question on the OL English language paper. The question carries 7 marks (14 blanks; 1/2 mark for each). 

Well, most students always grumble that the question consumes time and it is challenging. This means you lack practice in answering cloze passages. I also find that most English language teachers also are reluctant to expose children to cloze passages. 

Attempting a cloze passage involves intense brain work. It requires a knowledge of vocabulary, grammar and related techniques. More than anything else , 'patience'. Really, a cloze passage put your 'patience' on test. 

My students, you can practice cloze passages at home. You can do it for yourself. First, take it as a game. 

Well, you can do it the way I mention below. Try it and comment if it works.

Step 01: Select a suitable passage depending on your language proficiency. Make sure that the passage is an appealing one to you. I recommend a short story at first. Write it on a paper or just photocopy it.

Step 02: Read the passage several times until you get some idea of the theme. You may use a dictionary if you find any new words. 

Step 03: Leave the first one or two sentences and mark words after every four , five or six words. Then remove the words and write them down on a separate paper. 

Step 04: Now jumble the words you have removed as you please. 

Step 05: Now you have a cloze passage with you. Try to insert the words. Check your answers yourself with the list of words you took down in order at first. 

Note: while attempting to insert the words try to associate the words with the words immediately around the blank. 

 e.g.  If there is a blank with the article 'an' , your answer MUST be a word beginning with a VOWEL. 

As you practice you will catch up your own techniques. 

Well, you can inform me later.

Bye.

ACTIVITIES FOR PREPOSITIONS OL and Other

Prepositions:

 
There are different kinds of prepositions in the English Language. 
     1. Prepositions of place 
     2. Prepositions of time
     3. Prepositions of cause, reason, purpose
     4. Prepositions of manner, standard...
     5. Prepositions of contrast....are just a few to mention.

👉 The intention of the blogger here is not to elaborate on these different groups, but to provide you with some activities. Repeated activities will help you form an idea of the function of some prepositions. Most of the students do not perform well in prepositions. Most of the mistakes in writings are related to problems with prepositions. Therefore, usually, examiners do not forget to leave a question on prepositions. Hence, the activities I am going to include on this page will help you immensely to improve your knowledge of prepositions and their correct use in sentences. 

                                 Sajendra Kumara 

The two books contains scores of activities on prepositions with answers. Reserve your copies by calling Sajendra on 0777597875

OL English Activities Videos (OL and Other College Videos)

The SK Video (Sajendra Kumara) Channel contains short video clips which I hope would be useful for both teachers and students. They could be used in your classroom teachings. Probably your students may like a break from the stereotype classroom teaching for a few minutes. 

The Channel also contains other video clips related to history , nature , college life and people. The blog page here brings all the clips to one platform.

Best Poems for Comprehension| OL and Other

             "A thing of beauty is joy forever"

The poems published here could be used for your language teaching and learning process. They have been carefully selected to suit the young reader. The teacher can turn these short poems on to a platform where the young learner is motivated towards poetry.

Dear teachers, 

Do not merely get your students to answer these simple poems and switch on to another. First build up a fine bridge between your students and the poem.  Your students will walk over slowly into the poetic world. Let them have that fun with you. 

Then let your students attempt the questions and finally make sure that you lead a healthy discussion. The poems I publish here create a background for you to guide them deeper into the poems. 

Today, most of our teachers have become quite mechanical and do not let the students to peep into the literary world. 

I was made to leave this remark here because I chanced to listen to some young lady teacher explaining a poem in her language class. She did not treat the poem the way she should have done it and roughly touched upon the surface of the poem for the sake of doing it. 

Do justice to the poems and the poets by discussing them with your students. Listen to what your students speak of them. Let your students truly enjoy a poem. Do not steal that right from them. Be well prepared before discussing a poem with your students. 

 I humbly regret if I have hurt you my readers.
