This research paper investigates the impact of a teacher training programme on animation technology for preparatory-stage English teachers at the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) in Roing, Arunachal Pradesh. This paper focuses on the use of traditional digital animation tools, such as FlipaClip, and AI-based tools, like Steve AI, to transform selected prose and poetry from the preparatory-stage Marigold textbook into animated videos. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to assess the effectiveness of the training programme in enhancing teachers’ ability to adapt textual content into animation. The findings reveal significant improvements in teachers’ perceptions and capabilities, the transformative potential of technology in English language teaching, as envisioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
