A Study of Evaluation Methods of English Teacher for Tribal Students in Nandurbar District

Abstract The present paper aims at investigating evaluation methods of tribal students in Nandurbar district by an English Teacher. The tribal students in higher education in Nandurbar district are first generation learners of their families. Very few students are fortunate to have higher education in the district. A subject of English has been made compulsory right from the first standard to graduation. After learning English for twelve years in school, it difficult for them to have expected learning outcome. Every year students are declared pass or fail on their performances in examination. Still it seems that the targeted outcome is not seen to be achieved by them. The education system has implemented old traditional methods for conducting evaluation. Tribal students started their education of English language in Marathi; therefore, even today in the world of AI, the foreign language like English has not became their favourite subject. The subject content of English language and literature fails to provide their culture and heritage in it; and it results in their disliking in it. They could not correlate their native life with it. Tribal students are socioeconomically backward; therefore evaluation system could not compete local needs and values of these students. The basic purpose of education system regarding them fails in bringing gap on them. In order to get expected educational output an English Teacher should utilise comprehensive and continuous method for their evaluation. The method will let the students to continuous caring and evaluation. By traditional methods they could have subject knowledge but they do not have all round developed personality. The CCM offers both teacher and students to reach expected learning outcome.
