Do you know what your mother tongue is? Apparently, several people do not. And apparently, there's as big a debate on that as this.
The Alliance Francaise of Hyderabad, in association with Goethe-Zentrum and Osmania University Centre for International Programmes (OUCIP), is organising a symposium on Mother Tongues And Language Learning on 17th February, at the OUCIP premises in OU campus. Prof Bh Krishna Murthy, Former Vice-Chancellor, University of Hyderabad, will inaugurate the symposium, and it will be followed by a keynote address by Prof Udaya Narayana Singh, Director, Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore.
In multilingual societies like India, mother tongue can be a rather slippery concept. The same person can have different mother tongues, depending on the way mother tongue is defined. It can be on the basis of origin, identification, competence or function. The field is large and complex.
The proposed seminar seeks to summarize the complexity of the concept of the mother tongue and explore the language teaching implications of this complexity. Of particular interest would be to see not only the implications for school-level language learning, but the implications for adults, too, of a complex multilingualism for foreign-language learning (including its special case, English).
Especially worth noticing in this context are the highly variable English skills of students studying, for example, French or German in India, and worth exploring are the possibilities of leveraging the multilingualism of both the teachers and the learners. Some of the areas to be explored are mother tongues in India, multilingual education in India and foreign language teaching in India.
The detailed list of program at the symposium is as under:
09:30am to 10:00am - Inauguration and welcome address by Prof Siddiq Ali, Director of OUCIP; a briefing about the symposium by Amita Desai, Executive Director, Goethe-Zentrum, Hyderabad; inaugural address by Prof Bh Krishna Murthy, Former Vice-Chancellor, University of Hyderabad
10:00am to 01:15pm
