Abstract
Recent research has shown that the linguistic and
cultural practices children bring from home should
be used as a resource for their linguistic and
cognitive growth. Unless the languages of
learners are provided enough space in the
classroom, they may become increasingly silent
and indifferent to new knowledge. In the
Language Plus Programme of Vidya Bhawan
(VB) Education Resource Centre (ERC) started
in July, 2017, it was decided to focus specially on
English and Hindi without ignoring the languages
learners bring from home. In addition to Hindi
and English, the programme focused on overall
linguistic, mathematical, social and cognitive
growth of learners. It was decided to provide
students the comfort and space where they can
articulate their feelings and views freely and
fearlessly. In the traditional classrooms, languages
of home are dismissed as bolis or dehati and
learners are discouraged from using them
