About the Conference
About the Conference
Language is an essential element in human's life as it pervades individual, society, culture and every dimension of human endeavours. Language is not merely a medium of communication but a resource and repertoire for meaning-making. For this reason, language pedagogy has been a primary concern in education. In a multilingual, multicultural and multi-ethnic country like India, language pedagogy has to afford multifarious challenges at the levels of policy and praxis. Since Independence, the language and education policies have subsumed bi/multilingualism under language in an attempt to address the challenges and opportunities of the linguistic situation in India. However, in terms of praxis the language pedagogy has to confront complex challenges emanating from policy imperatives as well as people's aspirations.

However, in terms of praxis the language pedagogy has to confront complex challenges emanating from policy imperatives as well as people's aspirations.
The learning and teaching of language has become an even more serious concern due to the unbound growth in science and technology, increased mobility, globalisation and ultimately the resultant changes in education policies. In the present era, there is an unavoidable demand that an educated person should not only possess necessary knowledge and skills but also be well-versed in communication skills. Thus, language pedagogy in general and language education in particular have to look for new perspectives and direction in terms of approaches, methods and techniques of language learning and teaching other than and in addition to the traditional ones. These perspectives and directions can be achieved by the way of researches, experiments, discussions, deliberations and sharing of the ideas. The present conference is an attempt to provide a forum for sharing the ideas coming from the researches, experiments, discussions, deliberations and best practices in the interdisciplinary field of language pedagogy.
