The Joyful English app is part of the Karadi Path Magic English SLL programme, that is being implemented in the Government Tribal Residential (GTR) schools across 13 districts of Tamil Nadu. The programme, adopted by the Directorate of Tribal Welfare, Tamil Nadu to develop English Language Skills of the students in these schools, brings about functional language development and enables "whole word" reading and comprehension. Listening comprehension, conversational speaking, and reading are developed using an indigenously created set of tools and processes. Karadi Paths innovation lies in its pedagogy which offers a comprehension-driven approach and mimics the way one learns their mother tongue or any other language naturally from the environment. The language empowerment app here contains an exciting repository of teaching-learning resources that use actions, mime, music, theatre and read-along stories as learning tools to help government school teachers reimagine their English classrooms. The app is designed to help teachers implement the Karadi Path methodology in a demography that has limited English exposure.
