Physiotherapy In English Language Teaching

The contemporary thought of English language trainers is to find an effective way to equip the learners with English language skills. In today’s digitalized world, the learner of English have ample opportunities to browse through various materials and methods of learning, but the learners find it difficult to use those materials with proper training procedure with the help of the language trainer. Here the researcher suggests adaptation of physiotherapeutic training strategies which could make the learners involve in the language training process with enthusiasm and acquire English language skills.
What is Physiotherapy?
Charted society of Physiotherapy explains “Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by

In the same way, in physiotherapy, we have many patient management modalities and procedures. These are mentioned in Wikipedia as “PT management commonly includes prescription of or assistance with specific exercises, manual therapy and manipulation, mechanical devices such as traction, education, physical agents which includes heat, cold, electricity, sound waves, radiation, assistive devices, prostheses, orthoses, and other interventions. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles, providing services to individuals and populations to develop, maintain, and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the lifespan. This includes providing therapeutic treatment in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental

Muscle may be strong enough to work against resistance in part of the range and not in others. This type of exercise ensures that the external forces applied are adapted in every part of the range to the abilities of the muscle” (p-41). In this type of exercise, the therapist focuses on assisting the patient to achieve the full range of motion, where a part is independently moved without the assistance of the therapist. The learner may be efficient enough to express a certain part of oral activity. The language trainer, here, assists to complete the other part of the oral activity, which needs to be included in the language skill acquisition.
4. Resisted exercise:
Carolyn Kisner remarks that “resistance exercise is any form of active exercise in which a dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force, applied either manually or mechanically” (59). The therapist, here, artificially and systematically offer resistance to develop power and endurance of the muscle. The trainer creates an actual situation where the oral skills of the learner could be strengthened in the oral performance at the exit level.
