This is an original framework designed by Bhavna Gupta, the founder of Learning Sutra. Go ahead and use the framework—just don’t forget to give a shoutout to where you found it first! 😉
“Hmm… what exactly is this 3 S framework all about?” 🤔
Oh, I’m glad you asked! The 2 S’s — Skills and Systems — are the dynamic duo of language learning!
Skills are what you do with the language — reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Basically, the superpowers that help you communicate! 💬📖
Systems are the rules and patterns behind the magic — grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and discourse (how sentences fit together). Think of them as the secret spell book that makes everything work! 📜
“So, are they like the secret ingredients in a magic language potion? And if I mix them right, will I suddenly start speaking like a Shakespearean wizard?!”
Haha, not quite — no magic wands or potions needed! 🧙✨But think of Skills and Systems like the ultimate recipe for mastering a language. A good language lesson includes both.
“Okay, I get Skills and Systems… but what’s the mysterious 3rd S? Is it Superpowers? Snacks? Secret Grammar Spells? Tell me, I need to know!” 🤔😆
Bhavna, also known as Story Aunty, started out using stories to teach just two big parts of language — Skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and Systems (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, discourse). But soon, she realized something was missing. A real English lesson isn’t just about how we use language — it’s also about how we use it in the real world!
So, she added a third S — Society! Now, through stories, she brings in important topics like visual literacy, social-emotional learning, climate action, gender equality, and more. This way, children don’t just learn English—they learn about life!
“Did you create this checklist to make English lessons feel like a superpower mission?” 🦸♂️📖✨
To make sure she always included all three Ss, Bhavna created a simple framework (kind of like a checklist!) that can be applied to any language lesson. It helps her plan engaging, meaningful lessons where children learn language while also thinking about the world around them.
Now, she uses the 3 Ss — Skills, Systems, and Society — in every story. Her goal? To help learners become confident, kind, and thoughtful global citizens who can make the world a better place!
“Is your checklist like a treasure map for awesome English lessons? 💰
Well, depends! The 3 Ss checklist is like a treasure map, but instead of gold, it leads to engaging, meaningful stories!
“Wait… so are you secretly running a superpower mission where students learn to save the world with grammar and storytelling?!”
Haha, you got me! 🦸♂️📚 Welcome to the world of Learning Sutra, where words are our superpowers, and grammar is our secret weapon!
Here, we save the world from boring language lessons! 💥✨
With the 3 Ss — Skills, Systems, and Society, children don’t just learn English — they learn how to use it to make a real difference. So, grab your cape (or just a good notebook), and let’s get started! 🦸♀️📖💬
