Download or read book Literature Language and the Classroom written by Sonali Jain and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a Festschrift dedicated to Promodini Varma, a meticulous scholar, teacher, and administrator of extraordinary rigour, grit, and perception. It presents reflections on researching and teaching English literatures and languages in India. It concerns itself broadly with literary modernism and English language teaching and classroom pedagogy, some of the core concerns of the literary fraternity today. The volume examines how the literary and cultural manifestations of modernity have pervasively informed not just much of our disciplinary framework but many of the key issues—decolonisation, globalisation, development—our society grapples with. With essays on William Butler Yeats, Arthur Conan Doyle, E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence, and Rudyard Kipling, the volume presents fresh insights on familiar canonical ground. It discusses ELT and classroom pedagogy and provides grounded appraisals of teaching and translating for multilingual classroom audiences given the demands of employability and the hierarchical dynamics of educational institutions. An interview on feminist pedagogy and theatre and an essay on urban nostalgia and redevelopment act as pertinent outliers, reflecting the ongoing transition to more multi-sited and interdisciplinary research and praxis. An engaging read on some of the most pressing concerns in the field, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature and literary criticism, English language studies, and education.

Download or read book English Language and Literature Teaching in India written by S. R. Ganguly and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: English came to India with the East India Company in the seventeenth century. Lord Wellesley consolidated the rule of the East India Company around 1820 with his victories over the Marathas and Tipu Sultan. Hence the times were propitiate for the introduction of English language in India in education and administration. The two landmarks for the English Language Teaching in India were the famous Minute on Indian Education (1835) by Thomas Babington Macaulay and The Wood's Despatch (1858) by Charles Wood. Thereafter English became the most important subject of higher study in India. Much was written about the study and teaching of English Language and Literature in India both by the natives and English-men. English Language teaching even after achieving Independence (1947) is continuing as an important subject of study as India's window on the world. In spite of the importance of the subject, there has been no bibliographical control. Bibliography and documentation are important tools to provide the total intellectual output that was written and published in the field. They reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the subject. They are the pathfinders for the further study and research of the study. Lack of these tools is a bane to the teachers and scholars. There is no bibliography so far on English Language and Literature teaching in India. The editors with their long experience at CIEFL undertook this arduous work to fill-in the gap. It is a happy thing that this reference tool is published on the occasion of the completion of 40 years of the establishment of the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad and the Silver Jubilee of its deemed university status. It is hoped that this bibliography will be of great help to teachers, students and scholars in the field of ELLT.
Download or read book Language Topics written by Ross Steele and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume in honour of Michael Halliday contains three sections: The Design of Language, Text and Discourse and Exploring Language as Social Semiotic, and concludes with a recent interview conducted by Paul Thibault in which Halliday provides further insights in his theory of language. The essential design features of language are semantic, lexico-grammatical and phonological. Text for Halliday is a semantic unit expressed by the lexico-grammatical and phonological patterns in language. The papers in the first section study aspects of these three strata of language and the relation between them. The second section deals with units higher than the clause complex and the papers there attempt to integrate the analysis of the lexico-grammatical and phonological systems into higher level discourse units. The papers in the third section develop the notion of language as social semiotic which is central to Haliday’s model of language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to capture the reconfiguration of the pre-modern power structure within colonialism, in the specific context of education and linguistic policies implemented by the colonial administration in Western India. The interrelationship existing between caste power, dominance, colonialism and their cultural implications has been a rather ignored subject in postcolonial theory; analysis of the interplay between primordial power structures like caste and colonial modernity has only recently been reflected in some post-colonial writings. Against this backdrop, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the collusive role that the indigenous elites played in working out new ways to preserve their privileges and dominance, which also strengthened the hold of the colonial regime without fully altering and disturbing the existing modes of dominance. The book attempts to dispel the theory that a thorough eradication of pre-capitalist relationships is a pre-requisite to the growth and advancement of modern capitalism. The Indian case points to the contrary. The colonial state could engender its capitalist motives without substantially altering the existing feudal, hierarchical socio-economic and political arrangements. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of Marx, Gramsci, Althussar and Jotirao Phule, the volume attempts to delineate the relationship between language and power in colonial Western India.
