Abstract
When I first visited Poorna, an inclusive,
‘alternative’ school in Bangalore and spent time
with the students, I was struck by their candour
and easy articulation, and most of all by their
free and fluent expression. They showed a
complete lack of self-consciousness about
background, class, caste and religion, in forging
relations. I wondered how social rights and
equality, expressed so matter-of-factly by these
young ten-year-olds, had come to be a part of
their lives. In a school hallmarked by its socioeconomic
and cultural diversity, how did the
identities and expression of the students, escape
from falling into class traps?

Published twice a year in January and July, Language and Language Teaching (LLT) reaches out to language teachers, researchers and teacher educators on issues and practices relevant to language teaching. The primary focus of the publication is language pedagogy in elementary schools. LLT proposes to establish a dialogue between theory and practice so that practice contributes to theory as much as theory informs practice. The purpose is to make new ideas and insights from research on language and its pedagogy accessible to practitioners while at the same time inform theorists about the constraints of implementation of new ideas. |
