AN OVERVIEW OF THE TEXTBOOKS OF BILINGUAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING IN MADRAS PRESIDENCY INDIA (1875-1900)
Maqola haqida umumiy ma'lumotlar
This historical study examines bilingual English textbooks in Madras Presidency (1875- 1900) and the approaches and models mentioned in these materials. Bilingual education is often considered only as a remedial measure to language teaching in India. While various organizations and outreach programs employ bilingual approaches to education as part of inclusive action, subtractive approach to ELT is prevalent in mainstream education in India. This study seeks to retrace the history of bilingual textbooks in colonial Madras. The persisting need for English in India continues to cause much cultural asymmetry in contemporary India. English medium Education made Indian learners’ language and reality impractical for ‘good’ Education. This research derives from the idea that when teaching draws from the learner’s own language and context, it is easier for learners to relate to Education. It empowers them to make use of English in a way that does not uproot their own language and knowledge systems. This research aims to provide the big picture of bilingual education in India by showing how English was learnt by colonial Indians in 19th century Madras Presidency. In this context, this research studies the historical reasons, models and approaches related to bilingual English language teaching (BELT) for Indians in colonial Madras. The documents which act as textbooks/ manual/ guidelines/ directives/ sanctions for bilingual English language teaching (BELT) in colonial Madras are the basis for this study. This study adopts a data-driven theoretical framework, with a qualitative, exploratory paradigm. This research uses archival data, reflexive method, and interpretive analysis as part of the analysis process. The findings of this study suggest that bilingual English language teaching (BELT) materials have a long history in language teaching in India which has gone unexplored. The bilingual textbooks presented in the study show that colonial bilingual English language teaching (BELT) is a broad field of experimentation and debate which is often subsumed under the tag of grammar-translation method.
