Review of Cambridge English Course “Speak with Confidence” under
Nan Mudhalvan Scheme for I Year Engineering Students in Tamil Nadu

Dr. S. Latha Venkateswari

Introduction

Engineering relies heavily on collaboration and teamwork, making the idea clear that communication is essential for project coordination and problem-solving. The ability to articulate ideas, ask questions, provide feedback, and actively listen is vital for completing any tasks accurately and efficiently. Without strong communication skills, misunderstandings can arise, leading to serious mistakes and delays in project timelines. Hence, it is imperative that engineering students invest time in developing their communication skills. Upon improving the skills, engineers can get professional reputation, build stronger relationships with colleagues, and contribute more effectively to the society.

Having witnessed the poor communication skills of the engineering students and the consequent drop in the placement graph, Tamil Nadu Government has introduced an initiative named “Nan Mudhalvan” to enhance the employability skills of the Engineering students. To make this endeavour an effective one, the government has collaborated with Cambridge English, which offers a wide range of services to English Language learners across the globe. As an English Professor at Government College of Technology, the author provides an in-depth analysis of the Cambridge English Course “Speak with Confidence” taught to the I Year Engineering students for a period of three months.

Nan Mudhalvan Scheme

The Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu inaugurated a new scheme on 1.03.2022 to commemorate his 69th birthday. This initiative, spearheaded by the TN government, aims to increase the enrolment rate of students in higher education by fostering collaboration between school and collegiate education departments. The goal is to empower nearly 10 lakh youngsters across the State annually, providing them with the opportunities to showcase their talents, hone their skills, and access the best job opportunities available. The launch of the new portal, naanmudhalvan.tnschools.gov.in, demonstrates the government's commitment to meeting the needs of students and ensuring their success.
