The teacher survey to evaluate each child’s ability at the start of the school year and the child’s ability after the school year. Assessment of Results The following methods to depict the result and or impact; 1. A positive or negative change when comparing the test &/ evaluation of each student which are done by the teachers in the beginning and in the middle of the preschool year. 2. An increase in a selected indicator shows positive development, while a decrease shows a negative development. 3. An increase in number of children is indicated by a positive number, while a decrease is indicated by a negative number. The outcomes in the middle and or at the end of the project year are drawn from the total net change in ability of each preschool. Teachers evaluated a total of 300 students, representing 49.5% of all preschool students. Surveys used in drawing the outcomes asked direct questions by a preschool teacher and or a RCSL staff in an informal setting. In this setting, parents were comfortable to give feedback on indicators such as teacher performance, changes in child behavior and quality of education. Neutrality is maintained since lack of progress is indicated by the “No” option, for example, in the year end outcome assessment-2010, 10% parents saw no change in their child’s language skills after attending preschool. Indicators for Half Year 1. Increase in number of children who are able to identify objects and Year-End 2. Increase in number of children who are able to identify colors. Assessment. 3. Increase in number of children who are familiar with the Tamil alphabet.

  • Documenting Modern Sri Lanka Portuguese
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 19 Documentation and Maintenance of Contact Languages from South Asia to East Asia ed. by Mário Pinharanda-Nunes & Hugo C. Cardoso, pp.1–33 http:/nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp19 1 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24905 Documenting modern Sri Lanka Portuguese Hugo C. Cardoso, Mahesh Radhakrishnan, Patrícia Costa & Rui Pereira Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Letras Abstract Sri Lanka Portuguese (SLP) is a Portuguese-lexified creole formed during Sri Lanka’s Portuguese colonial period, which lasted from the early 16th century to the mid-17th century. The language withstood several political changes and became an important medium of communication for a portion of the island’s population, but reached the late 20th century much reduced in its distribution and vitality, having essentially contracted to the Portuguese Burgher community of Eastern Sri Lanka. In the 1970s and 1980s, the language was the object of considerable research and documentation efforts, which were, however, curtailed by the Sri Lankan civil war. This chapter reports on the activities, challenges, and results of a recent documentation project developed in the post-war period and designed to create an appropriate and diverse record of modern SLP. The project is characterised by a highly multidisciplinary approach that combines linguistics and ethnomusicology, a strong focus on video recordings and open-access dissemination of materials through an online digital platform (Endangered Languages Archive), archival prospection

  • Annual Report & Outcome Assessment 2011
    Annual Report & Outcome Assessment 2011 1st of January, 2011 to 31 st of December, 2011 Rose Charities Sri Lanka Swiss Foundation Project Annual Report & Impact Assessment - 2011 Page 1 Rose Charities Srilanka's approach to building sustainable communities: Rose charities entered Kalmunai in 2005 immediately after the Tsunami in December 2004 and has since worked with the community. The intent is to support the under privileged children living in surrounding villages focusing health and safety of the children and later establishing a structured counseling program to address the post trauma distress of the children. The program then evolved into education, starting with preschool and moving on to primary, secondary and supporting university studies as well as vocational training to a considerable number of members, making a real difference in their lives. Since the beginning of 2010, the project was supported by the Swiss Optimus Foundation to expand and to put more emphasis on young women and children. The work of RCSL has evolved into a community based program which integrates education and economic sustainability. This is accomplished in partnership with individual communities. The core education program is enhanced by enrichment activities that include art, music, English, computer skills, sports and other training workshops. This is further reinforced by women's group, girls' group and children's group that were established in the community. Profile of the Project Area Ampara district is located in the south east of Srilanka in the Eastern Province and Batticaloa district is located in the Central Part of Eastern Province. These districts are of the most diverse in Srilanka, both ethnically and religiously.
