Abstract
I was assigned the task of teaching grade three
children in a government school. Most of the
children were from lower middle class
background, and were first generation learners.
While the mother tongue of these children was
Chhattisgarhi, some of them could speak and
understand Hindi (a few common words and
sentences in kamchalau Hindi, not textbook
Hindi). I did not know a single word of
Chhattisgarhi. I present below a brief account
of some of my initial interventions in the teaching
of Hindi to these children.

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. |
