Abstract
This paper explores the possibilities of reworking visual and oral traditions of the Indian subcontinent into new material that can become part of regular classroom practices at the primary level and beyond.

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.

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. |
