Question

Coromandel fishers information

Answer 1

The ability to appreciate one's own mother tongue can help in building appreciation for another language. More than often mother tongue is seen as an intruder in the classroom. It is not. Reading and writing are transferable skills. Developing these two skills in one language can help the acquisition of another language.



Similarly mother tongue within the classroom can act as a facilitator in learning a second language, in this case English. Use of mother tongue could be an effective method of helping students make sense of foreign texts. It does not mean that each word in the text is translated for the student. Through the judicious use of mother tongue a familiar text can be introduced in the classroom (from another known language) and it can be used to set a context for learning.



The poem Coromandel Fishers written by Sarojini Naidu is a call to fishermen to rise and go into the sea. The poem has a clarion call (a strong and clear call for people to do something) in it.
