2 ENGLISH BEFORE INDEPENDENCE AND ENGLISH NOW IN INDIA and present status

English language in the school context- an evolutionary perspective

2. GOALS FOR A LANGUAGE CURRICULUM  A national curriculum can aim for • a cohesive curricular policy based on guiding principles for language teaching and acquisition, which allows for a variety of implementations suitable to local needs and resources, and which provides illustrative models for use. A consideration of earlier efforts at curriculum renewal endowed some of our discussion with an uneasy sense of déjà vu. However, we hope that current insights from linguistics, psychology, and associated disciplines have provided a principled basis for some workable suggestions to inform and rejuvenate curricular practices. English does not stand alone. It needs to find its place 1. along with other Indian languages    i. in regional-medium schools: how can children’s other languages strengthen English teaching/learning?    ii. in English-medium schools: how can other Indian languages be valorised, reducing the perceived hegemony of English? 2.  in relati...
