LINGUA FRANCA-‘a common language adopted between speakers whose native languages are different.’
Ever felt lost in a crowd where you couldn't comprehend what was being said?? Hoped that you could converse and be a part of it too?? Heres an opportunity at improving your communication skills.
Lingua franca, an active literary society in JSS, provides you the opportunity to discover the literary spark in you. It aims to fathom and nourish that talent to exaltation.The society works towards the overall development of an individual by providing its members a platform to not only envisage but to express their opinion articulately on various topics and build their confidence in public speaking. The society tries to ensure that the next time a lingua franca member is given an opportunity to represent the mass or discuss a particular issue, he delivers an explicit and exuberant speech efficaciously.Apart from developing oratory skills in the members,the committee aims at moulding them into chivalrous and devout leaders.
We organize events like debates,extempores,group discussions,etc in order to give opportunities to students who are intimidated with the thought of speaking on a public forum, to help them overcome their inhibitions.Afterall,'practice is the best of all instructors'.We encourage people to believe in themselves as ‘belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad'.
But we can't do this alone.So,we request our members to participate in all the events held periodically and we assure you
that we will enhance your vocabulary,self-confidence and leadership qualities.Team Lingua Franca is always available for providing its members guidance and support whenever required.It is so rightly said that ‘inspiration but no involvement,charisma but no change,hope but no harness is futile.’

Lingua Franca Library
A library will be started in the girls hostel very soon.There will be abundant books of all tastes-fiction,non-fiction,philosophy,romance,comics,literature,magazines,etc.Boys need not be disappointed. We are aiming to do the same in the boys hostel. The delay is due to the shortage of funds. So please be patient and cooperate with us.
Recently Conducted Events
VOCAB TEST:-
Lingua Franca conducted a VOCAB TEST on the 1st of feb.The response was overwhelming.Precisely,107 teams turned up.
The test was prepared on the GRE cum CAT pattern.There were 5 kinds of questions-synonyms,antonyms,fill in the appropriate word,one word substitution and analogies.We had shuffled the questions by making 3 sets-A,B & C to avoid unscrupulous means and to ensure that we got deserving winners.Each team consisted of 2 members.There were a total of 25 questions and the duration for the test was 30 min.
There were 4 winning teams.The 2nd place was shared by 3 teams.The winning team was awarded a cash prize of Rs. 200 while each runner up team received Rs. 100 each as a token of appreciation.The scores and solutions were e-mailed to all participants.
We will conduct many such tests in the future and thereby give opportunities to all the members to improve with every performance.
RESULT:-
1st prize: ROHAN JAIN(EE 4th year) & AMIT BARNWAL(EC 4th year)
SCORE:18/25
2nd prize: PARUL SHUKLA(EE 4th year) & PRANAYE ASHOK(CSE 4th year)
SCORE:17/25
ANKUR CHAUDHARY(EC 3rd year) & NISHITH SINHA(EC 3rd year)
TRIPTA(CSE 4th year) & RAMYA(IT 4th year)
SUGGESTIONS:
To improve vocabulary,NORMAN LEWIS is a great help for beginners.But first and foremost reading the newspaper is extremely important,especially the editorial section.For preparing for various competitive examinations,GRE BARRONS is highly recommended.
RECRUITMENTS:-
Lingua franca held recruitments from 1st year students for joining the team of organizing members.It was delightful to know that a fairly large number of students were interested.They were interviewed by a panel of 7 senior organizing members of the society including the president,RUPALI TYAGI.We were impressed by the CVs’ of most registered people.But due to the limitation on the number of new organizing members,we had no choice but to consider the very best ones.Some interviews were carried out in the hostel also.Though the achievements and credentials of most were commendable, we finally narrowed down to 11 candidates whom we found most deserving and promising. The jury had laid emphasis on some of the following factors-confidence,eloquence of speech,team-spirit,leadership and communication skills.We hope that the newly recruited members who are now a part of our team will work diligently for the upliftment of the society.
