Question

What are the issues of language in education?

Answer 1

Answer:

With cultural diversity comes linguistic diversity. This diversity has been created by growing rates of migration since the 1960s and by greater inter-cultural contact among nations as they try to resolve ecological and diplomatic problems together. In this chapter, Jim Cummins looks at the implications of linguistic diversity for educational change

Cummins asks what it means to provide education in a growing number of contexts which are not merely bilingual, but which serve students from many different linguistic backgrounds in classrooms and their schools. Bilingualism, linguistic immersion, heritage languages, second language learning, and transformations in the entire organization of teaching and learning to accommodate classroom populations of great diversity are among the issues that Cummins addresses.

The importance of these issues is pressed home with reference to research findings which indicate that when students lag behind in first language proficiency, they also lag behind in academic achievement and intelligence test scores despite their abilities in their own language. Failing to address the issue of linguistic diversity effectively leads to failure to capitalize on children’s academic potential. Cummins concludes with policy recommendations to address language issues as a focus for educational change, including changes in curriculum, teaching and learning, and the climate of the school.

Answer 2

Answer :

The issues faced due to language in education are lack of interest in students as well as teacher and less motivation as the results are not satisfactory.

Explanation:

• India has 780 languages and 86 scriptures, of which 250 are extinct and some are endangered, according to the People's Linguistic Survey of India.
• In some schools and universities, it happens that the teacher and the pupils speak different languages.
• The education of the children is hampered by this kind of linguistic barrier.
• They are unable to fully understand the notion, and the teachers are unable to allay their concerns and help them do so right away.
• Pupils' poor vocabulary, poor pronunciation, inability to talk, lack of desire, and usage of or interference with the mother tongue were the biggest difficulties they experienced when teaching speaking to students.
• Limited school resources, particularly for English language instruction, and a lack of student engagement are more major issue faced due to language.
• Schools and college should take major steps to tackle this barrier in our education system.
• They should allot the student and teacher combination as such that both speaks the same language.
