2. Case Study 1 – Rural School: How the Lab Changed a Student’s Life
Context: Rural government high school using Digital Teacher English Language Lab for classes 6–10.
2.1 School Profile
- School: Sri Venkateswara ZP High School (Rural, Andhra Pradesh)
- Type: Government, Telugu medium
- Students: ~420 (6th–10th)
- Challenges before implementation
- Students could read English but rarely spoke it.
- Heavy Mother Tongue Influence (MTI) in pronunciation.
- Fear and shyness students avoided speaking even simple sentences.
- No structured environment for listening and speaking practice.
These challenges are very typical in rural India, where English is a foreign language and there is little exposure outside the classroom.
