The Center for English Language Studies, University of Hyderabad<\/strong> and ELT@I Hyderabad<\/strong> Chapter are organizing a national seminar on\u00a0‘English Language Education in India: Theory and Practice’ <\/strong>on January 23-25.<\/p>\n

As is well-known, English is the primary language of education in India today. The demands made on language teachers are steadily increasing, so is the awareness among teachers for the need to improve their own knowledge base, teaching and professional skills. In this context, it is essential to understand the several dimensions of English language education thus gaining a holistic picture and simultaneously becoming aware of the wide range of issues that impact language education. This seminar aims to fulfill this purpose.<\/p>\n

English determines our access to domains of knowledge and is used as a medium of communication. The importance of this language in modern India cannot be overstated. Yet, the reception of English was not straightforward. It was often brought in as policy decision and was politically determined. Interpreting these language policies constitutes one part of the discussion in this seminar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

English interacted with many Indian languages and it evolved in the Indian context. This is the variety that is often taught in the classroom although there may be prescribed native variety norms. Understanding what is (to be) taught–the nature of Indian English and its teaching–is essential for a teacher of English, both from the point of view of theory and classroom encounters. This understanding enables meaningful \u00a0interventions in pedagogy by educators. This, along with the traditionally classified methods, materials and testing and evaluation will constitute a major part of this seminar.<\/p>\n

On the whole, the purpose of this seminar is to look at the political, theoretical and practical aspects of English in India, and the various \u00a0dimensions of English language education today.<\/p>\n
