Question
Write points and counterpoints on the following topic:
You should study all subjects in your mother tongue
Advertisements
Solution
- Points:
- Language is a sign that symbolises one's community's culture and ethnic identity, and speaking in one's home tongue can help pupils all over the world develop a sense of self.
- If students do not understand English instructions, they may lose confidence and choose to sit silently or repeat them mechanically. This can lead to frustration, failure, and dropout.
- Counterpoints:
- India is a country having 60 languages, some of which are state-specific, and Hindi is the national language. English, an international language, has now become a language that connects all of India. On the other side, we have our mother tongues, which teach children about our culture and history.
- If instructions are given in the mother tongue, how will kids adapt to English later on? Educationists and policymakers should think about it.
