Abstract
India is a land of many languages. According to
the 2001 census, there are twenty-two official
languages in India, and more than one thousand
six hundred regional dialects along with their
varieties. In the villages, most children go to
government schools for their primary and
secondary education. In the government schools,
the syllabus, examination, debates, speeches,
official formalities, etc., are conducted in the
local, regional or official language. English may
be one of the subjects, but it is not the language
of the functional domains in most cases. Soon
after the completion of formal secondary
education, some students get into institutes of
higher education such as the IITs, NITs, IIITs,
IIMs, AIIMS, or other medical or engineering
colleges and universities.

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. |
