Section H SWOC ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTION STRENGTHS Being the only government college for women in the district, with its long tradition of quality teaching and an abode of moralistic culture, the locale prefers this institution. CBCS pattern with internal tests, assignments and seminars provide a continuous assessment of the student on her strengths and weaknesses. Both traditional and modern technology of teaching provides the right blend of teaching aid to match delivery requirements. Encouraging academic results with ranks obtained at the university level. ICT enabled class rooms, peer teaching, tutorial system and internal academic audit enhance the teaching learning process. A number of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are regularly conducted for students through NSS, YRC, RRC, Exnora, Rotaract and social service league. Drop-out rate is considerably reduced by the service of the government free hostel. One year certificate course is offered to all the non-computer UG students, under computer literacy programme. The faculty and the students of the institution are always in consonance on the context of social service. The democratic way of conducting student council election. The system of student uniform strengthens social and economical equality. Single window system of admission on merit basis following the reservation policy of the state government. Dedicated teachers. Curriculum incorporating papers on cross cutting issues. Dynamic PTA involvement and supportive alumnae. Best practices like English communicative skills, Technology interface, and Competitive studies lead towards placement. The institution processes scholarships to all eligible students in time.
WEAKNESSES Lack of career oriented and innovative courses to cater to the global needs. The number of existing faculty against the sanctioned is 35:82 The very process of high pass and result oriented assessment do not initiate students for capacity building. Being situated in a remote area, industrial consultancy is not fruitful. External expertise poses a problem for the same reason. Faculty faces constraints like lack of well equipped laboratories and unavailability of guide in the process of research.
D.G.G.A.C (W), MAYILADUTHURAI. Page xiv
NAAC Self Study Report 2015
Traditional gender biased parents do not allow the wards to attend extra classes. The current drop out ratio of 1:45 Physical education director is yet to be appointed in the vacant posts. Financial constraint does not allow the institution to provide the required exposure to the progression of student community. Lack of technology oriented courses.
OPPORTUNITIES The well framed curriculum with its emphasis on good fundamentals and scope for diversified learning provides a great opportunity for the institution to lead the students towards holistic development through enhanced teaching process. The innovative practices like personal lexicon, beyond syllabus projects, clubs for value practices, Tamil skill development, green college, environmental, physical and mental health are transformed to be centers of opportunity to mould the students. The free laptops issued by the government of Tamilnadu to all the students enable ICT learning spaces. Free bus-pass facilitates economic freedom to the student community. The artistic talents of the students are brought to lime light during the annual fine arts week. The infrastructure of the institution is utilized for both shift I and shift-II students. It enables the stakeholders to earn while they learn.
CHALLENGES Lack of entry level required proficiency The parental attitude to get the wards married before completing the course. Maintaining innovative spirit in research is a pressing challenge requiring constant persuasion. Institution should match the aspiration and speed of the private institution. Overcoming technology obsolescence and getting rid of old infrastructure and materials to create space and facilities for new ones has become a challenge. Lack of communicative skill. Owing to variety of reasons innovative ideas are not implemented at a desirable phase. With the majority population of first graduates, entrepreneurship development becomes a challenge.

7.3 Best Practices
7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices in the given format at page no. 98, which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
BEST PRACTICE - I 1. Title of the Practice: Club of Communicative Skills in English 2. Goal To develop the communicative skill in English in the process of evolving holistic education. 3. The Context English is the language which is spoken by the largest number of people all over the world. In several parts of the world, including India, English is a second language. It occupies a unique position in India and it has great educational importance. Learning a second language is more a matter of skill than of knowledge. Students have to be given opportunities to develop their skills in English and more practice is needed to master the language. The chief problem in learning a second language is to master its sound system, that is, to understand the stream of speech. Good oral skill is necessary for the students to acquire good reading and writing skill in English. To be competent in English, students need to develop the language skills by practising and using the language in different contexts and situations. 4.The Practice Auditory exercises are given to students to develop their listening skill in English. Listening activities such as discriminating the sounds of the language, distinguishing literal and implied meanings and recognizing stress, rhythm, tone patterns and communicative functions of different utterances are given to the students.

33. Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning Active learning by using Audio Visual Aids, Problem Solving methods, Assignment, Test, seminar, quiz programme ,group discussions are conducted to enhance students learning. Students are exposed to the language through listening Audio CDs and Software packages in the Language laboratory. Language skills are developed through loud reading , audio listening and conversational programmes. Spoken club activities in which students are initiated to imbibe ten words each week ,use them in their conversation and the activity is monitored. Simple story books are issued to the students through reading club and loud reading is practised to improve pronunciation, stress and intonation. Creative writing is the objective of the club of young creatives. The following innovative teaching methods are adopted to improve students’ learning: *Personal Lexicon: The stakeholders compile their own personal vocabulary register of words with English and Tamil meaning in the first semester. Using those words students frame their own sentences in the second semester. Phrases in English are enlisted with their corresponding meaning in the third semester. And the same is used in framing their own sentences in the fourth semester. This enables each and every student of this institution belonging to all the Departments to develop their English language skills. *Group Project: The final year UG students of the Department of English are initiated to do ‘’beyond syllabus group project ‘’ in the final semester. D.G.G.A.C (W), MAYILADUTHURAI. Page 164
NAAC Self Study Report 2015
The CDs of the same are included in the collection of e- learning resources. *Club of Young Creatives: The creativity of each and every student is encouraged and motivated through this club.
Semester Theme of creativity I Special pictures II Common title III Literary topics IV Current issues V Topics of value orientation VI Topics of their own choice
*Listening and Speaking Club: Communicative English is not properly achieved because of lack of exposure to English listening from their childhood. So initiatives are taken to facilitate listening English from the available CDs in the language lab. This process facilitates English speaking skills. *Reading and Writing club: Loud reading and silent reading are advocated to develop proper pronunciation, intonation, stress and thereby writing skill is also facilitated. Story books and Novels are issued through the Reading Club. Students write the summary of the books that they have read. Impromptu: Instant topics are given to the students and encouraged to deliver extempore talks. Transformation of genres: Students of English are encouraged to platform the skills in transforming the genres. It is like dramatising a poetry , which has been practised to make it more application oriented. 34. Participation in Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension activities Participation is compulsory to all students in any one of the extension activities like NSS, YRC, SSL, EXNORA and Population Studies 35. SWOC analysis of the Department and Future plans STRENGTH D.G.G.A.C (W), MAYILADUTHURAI. Page 165
NAAC Self Study Report 2015
The Department of English conducts Literary club activities once in a week. The students are encouraged to dramatise any literary piece or socially relevant themes. This helps them to acquire fluency , to identify their hidden potentiality, gain confidence, planning and executing the programmes in an aesthetic way. The Department conducts Rotary Club Rolling shield debate every year to enable the students to analyse the given topic in different angles and argue effectively to persuade the audience. Software packages are installed in the language laboratory to provide both part II and Major English students to develop their language and communicative skills. The other aspects to strengthen our Department are peaceful environment , more guidance and counselling, qualified and dedicated staff, all possible resources to equip students to meet their academic and placement pursuits, lab equipments, conducting ward meeting and increasing parental confidence.
WEAKNESS
Insufficient number of Classrooms. Shortage of Permanent faculty Lack of communicative skill Students are from socially and economically weaker section of the society Majority of the students are first graduates
OPPORTUNITIES
Erudite scholars have been invited to enlighten the student community on various branches of literature. Many clubs are functioning in the Department of English to develop their LSRW skills. Club of young creatives enables the students to think and write creatively in English. Students are motivated to read newspaper and short stories through the club of reading. Students are exposed to the language through listening audio CDs and software packages in the language laboratory. Speaking skill of the students is developed by conducting impromptu , picture descriptions , narrations etc.
CHALLENGES There are so many impediments in arranging special classes since the parents are culturally strict Lack of entry level performance proficiency Lack of exposures to the Global scenario
D.G.G.A.C (W), MAYILADUTHURAI. Page 166
NAAC Self Study Report 2015
FUTURE PLAN
Students are from rural and backward areas. They need communication skill and soft skills to achieve their goal. To fulfil the needs and utilize the opportunities, a certificate course is designed and to be developed by the Department of English. It is proposed to start PG course in English. More participation in workshops, seminars and conferences is also in the agenda. It has also planned to publish more number of articles in refereed journals.

Lesser Number of permanent staffs.
OPPORTUNITIES
We are giving opportunities for the students those who are also coming from rural areas. We are motivating first generation graduates. We have included basic computer education as a major elective paper. Student’s are also getting field experience by involving them in project works. CHALLENGES 1. Lack of communication skill of the students.
FUTURE PLANS a) To Improve Teaching Methods using slide presentation. b) To include income generating courses like computer application, women entrepreneurship and management studies in the syllabus.
