Vol. 4 Issue 30 – Research Paper: ‘Role of Mother Tongue in Teaching English as a Second Language to Tamil Students’ by Vairamuthu Suntharesan

Using the student’s mother tongue in the ESL classes has been felt to be very productive as it is found to develop language accuracy and fluency. The objective of this paper is to discuss how mother tongue can be effectively used in teaching certain linguistic areas in order to motivate students and promote their language proficiency faster. Translation in ESL classes which enables the process of comparing student’s first language with the second language would undoubtedly enable students to attain the ability of using the language in real life situations for communicative purposes.

Vol. 4 Issue 30 – Article: ‘How can creative writing develop language skills?’ by Tarala Joshi
