Language Learning in India
Cultural Contexts
Orality influenced development of Scripts and Grammar, Grammar are different
Verbalising vs. Normalising Languages
Indian Scripts are very unique
Graphic Literacy vs. Oral Literacy
The administrative, the classical and the vernacular
Traditionally the concept of second language was different
Absence of language learning resources (for Literacy) up until the colonial time
First Language Learning
Formalising the way we speak and write the language
Dialect, local slang, colloquy all get standardised
Pronunciation and sentence formation will change
Richness of Language Expression
Language used for various purposes
Vernacular/Local Language teaching does not focus on the development of thinking
Critical Thinking, Analytical Reasoning, Inferences - contemporary needs
We learn this skill only through English and in other subjects
Interactive Technologies
Same disruptive potential as “writing” had compared to “orality”
Interactive Technologies are commodity - they respond to voice and gestures
Children know how to use them
They can potentially change the language learning in fundamental ways
