One Word at a Time by Pranil Naik I EDGE Talks I EDGE 2019

English is the medium of instruction at institutions of higher learning in India, much to the discomfort of students who complete their schooling in regional languages. Pranil Naik founded LeapForWord with the aim to make the English language more better understood by all children.

He developed an English Literacy Program which is built on top of a translation algorithm, a set of linguistic rules that translate English into any Indian regional language, and vice versa. Because of this, English is no longer treated as a language but rather as a subject, which means it can be taught in any language that is common between the teacher and the student. Pranil's humble story of beginning, almost giving up and then pushing through against all odds to make this programme a reality, is a lesson to all that perseverance is key for success.
