British Author Claire Horsburgh Hosts Language Teaching Workshop

Hyderabad: British author and educator Claire Horsburgh, associated with Oxford University Press for more than a decade, is visiting India to conduct English language teaching workshops in nine cities. She aims to make English teaching lively and enjoyable. On her visit to Hyderabad, Claire conducted a teacher training workshop, where she focused on joyful learning pedagogy as outlined in the Ministry of Education’s National Curriculum Framework (NCF-2023). The workshop was chaired by Santyendra Bhadauria, Regional Sales Director, OUP.

Speaking to the media, Claire Horsburgh said, “It is always a pleasure to visit India and connect with the strong roots I have in this country. The Indian education sector is undergoing rapid transformation, and the government’s new National Curriculum Framework is catalysing this change. I feel privileged to train teachers in India to adopt innovative techniques and methodologies that can make their classrooms joyful and engaging.”

Claire added, “As an educator and author, I’ve seen how language can unlock opportunities and connect cultures. This experience has shaped my career and given me insights into what motivates learners.

Each learning journey is unique, and resources should adapt to individual progress, helping teachers personalize their approach. Remember, it’s okay not to get it right the first time—learning is a

lifelong process.”
