STRATEGIES-
भारत
में बहुभाषी शिक्षण के प्रयोग वर्षों से हो रहे हैं।ओडिशा एक बहुभाषी राज्य है, जिसमें 62
अनुसूचित जनजातियों में 40 से अधिक जातीय भाषाएं बोली जाती हैं, साथ ही हिंदी, बंगाली और
तेलुगु जैसी आधुनिक भारतीय भाषाएं भी बोली जाती हैं। स्कूलों में जातीय अल्पसंख्यक
बच्चों की भाषा-शिक्षा को संबोधित करने के लिए, ओडिशा सरकार ने
बहुभाषी शिक्षा कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत दस जनजातीय भाषाओं के साथ की। डॉ महेंद्र
कुमार मिश्रा, बहुभाषी
शिक्षा निदेशक के नेतृत्व में और प्रो डी पी पटनायक और प्रो खगेश्वर महापात्रा, प्रख्यात
बहुभाषी विशेषज्ञों द्वारा निर्देशित, राज्य सरकार ने 547 स्कूलों में
आदिवासी भाषाओं में एमएलई कार्यक्रम शुरू किया। 10 आदिवासी भाषाओं को अपनाया गया।
ये हैं संताली, सौरा, कुई, कुवी, कोया, किशन, ओरोम, जुआंग, बोंडा और हो।
आदिवासी बच्चों को शिक्षित करने के लिए मातृभाषा आधारित बहुभाषी शिक्षा को बनाए
रखने के लिए कक्षा एक से कक्षा पांच के लिए
पाठ्यक्रम और पाठ्यपुस्तकें तैयार की गईं। राज्य सरकार ने आदिवासी बच्चों को
पढ़ाने के लिए स्कूलों में उसी भाषा समुदाय के शिक्षकों की नियुक्ति की। भाषा नीति
भी बनाई गई। इस कार्यक्रम को मिस्टर स्टीव सिम्पसन और विकी सिम्पसन, पामेला
मैकेंज़ी के नेतृत्व में समर इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ लिंग्विस्टिक्स द्वारा भी समर्थन दिया
गया था। पाठ्यक्रम और पाठ्यपुस्तकें एमएलई संसाधन समूहों द्वारा निर्देशित आदिवासी
शिक्षकों द्वारा तैयार की गई थीं। यह 2005 में शुरू किया गया था और अब यह
बहुसंख्यक आदिवासी बच्चों वाले 2250 स्कूलों में चल रहा है। यह एशियाई देशों में
एक सतत एमएलई कार्यक्रम है। लगभग 7 एशियाई देशों ने एमएलई स्कूलों का दौरा किया
है।भाषा जनसंख्या का एक महत्वपूर्ण गुण है, और भारत जैसे बहु-भाषाई और बहु-जातीय
भूमि में इसकी बहुत प्रासंगिकता और महत्व है, देश में "कोस कोस पर बदले पानी, चार कोस पर
बानी" ऐसी सांस्कृतिक विविधता और बहुभाषावाद का अस्तित्व है। बच्चे की
मातृभाषा में प्रारंभिक स्कूली शिक्षा, सीखने में सुधार कर सकती है, विद्यार्थियों
की भागीदारी बढ़ा सकती है और स्कूल छोड़ने वालों की संख्या को कम कर सकती है
1. Use children’s home languages as a
resource
Even if you do not speak the home
languages of children in your program, you can still include their languages in
conversations. Get help from family members by inviting them to come teach you
and the class important words; also ask them for recommendations on literature
and songs written and recorded in their languages. Additionally, remember that
it is always possible to respond to children’s communications, regardless of
whether or not you speak the same language. You can do so with body language and
other ways to communicate, such as using pictures and objects.
Responding to children’s multilingual
contributions sends the message that diversity is valued in your classroom.
2. Pair conversations with joint
activities
There are several reasons why joint
activities in small groups promote conversation: a shared activity gives
participants a common subject to talk about; the tools or props related to the
activity can aid in communication; and educators can tailor the activity and,
based on the interests of the children participating, guide the conversation,
thereby increasing the children’s motivation and the likelihood that they will
share their ideas. Such learning, paired with activities, is a central
component
3. Co-participate in activities
The educators participated in
activities with the children for an extended period of time (15 minutes or
longer). Co-participating enabled the teachers to provide ongoing and
responsive assistance as compared with briefly visiting groups while rotating
around the classroom or engaging children in a whole group setting.
Coparticipating in activities with
children encourages more participation and helps teachers ask more open-ended
and contextualized questions.
4. Use small groups
Encourage other children to join in
activities, but limit group sizes to no more than six. Small group settings
help make an activity more conversational, relieving some of the performance
pressure children may feel when in a whole group setting or one-on-one with an
educator.
5. Respond to children’s
contributions
“Language learning is not just a
cognitive struggle, it is a cognitive and emotional struggle”
Multilingual families and children
should have opportunities to serve as experts and contribute to all of the
children’s learning.
