Abstract Abstract
The integration of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) into teacher education offers a culturally grounded approach for enriching pedagogical practices and strengthening teacher identity. This study explores the empowerment of secondary-stage English teachers through IKS-based communication skills training implemented during a teacher training programme under Shiksha Vikash Samiti, Odisha. The intervention adopted the Panchapadi Shikshan Paddhati as a pedagogical model to contextualise English language learning, enhance communicative competence and embed value-oriented instructional practices. Using a mixed method research design, data were gathered through structured observations, interaction analysis, reflective feedback, pre-post performance tasks, teaching demonstrations and role play activities. Findings reveal notable improvements in teacher’s classroom communication, contextual pedagogical skills, confidence level and ability to integrate cultural and ethical dimensions of IKS into English instruction. The study concludes that IKS-embedded communication skills foster holistic teacher empowerment by blending linguistic proficiency with cultural rootedness and pedagogical clarity. The implications underscore the need for incorporating IKS-aligned communicative practices into teacher education programmes to promote sustainable, inclusive and culturally relevant English education within Vidya Bharati Education System.
