EMPOWERING RURAL STUDENTS WITH COMMUNICATIVE ENGLISH
Proficiency
in English language is essential in today’s competitive world observed
Dr.N.S.Raghunath, the visiting professor at Karnatak University, Dharwad.
Inaugurating
one-month free course in ‘Communication Skills’ for rural students organized by
the Department of English at Karnatak University Campus which is meant to
empower rural students in communication in English. This programme is
sanctioned for five years under 12th plan period of the UGC.
Having
stayed for 250 years in India, English, he noted, has gained political power. In
the recent decades, it has also developed economic power, in the sense it can
upset the economy of the nation. The
more we learn English, the more foreign exchange the nation can earn.
However,
he asserted that English has been a killer language as many social linguists
have remarked. They seem to say that this language has the power to kill local languages
into which it enters. It is now apparent that we can neither give up English nor
can we make it a cultural language. We need to handle it carefully but master
it nonetheless.
He
said that the first language of the child is the right language to receive education
in the first ten years of his career and when once the child learns the English
language the medium can be changed to English.
He
stated that “Since English is not the dominant language of communication in our
society; the student cannot find model speakers. Visual media can substitute the
shortcoming. Pronunciation is not learnt
through print media anyway.”
He
urged the students to watch news-bulletin through television or listen to radio.
Having
worked in NCERT for 30 years, the Professor said, “The education system in the
State does not have a structured programme to teach language in a scientific
way. It is taken for granted that students will learn language.
“The
government seems to think that by adopting English as a medium of instruction,
students can be taught English which is absolutely wrong and to a great extent
it is superstitious”, he added.
Cognitive
system develops in the first language. As the American and British researchers
have shown the language learning of a baby begins in the mother womb. It not
only receives the language but also the local culture of the society as well.
If
this research finding is true, the cognitive system develops in the first language
which the child learns, and if the medium of instruction is changed at the age
of five or six, we might be running the risk of blunting the growth of cognitive
system. According to him what Ved Vyas says in the Mahabharat (Abhimanyu
Chakravyuhu Pravesh) proves true.
Presiding
over the function, the Chairman of the Department of English Dr.Mallikarjun
Patil said that English is an international language which we have to learn not
only for survival, but also to make our life more meaningful.

Command
over language must for journalists: Dr.Raghunath
Journalists
should have command over language as the newspaper or the electronic media
which they have worked for would reach crores of readers and viewers opined
Dr.Raghunath, visiting Professor, Karnatak University, Dharwad.
He
was delivering a special talk on ‘Use of language in mass media’ at a programme
organized jointly by Department of Mass Communication and Journalism and the
Basavaraj Kattimani Foundation here recently.
Journalism
had changed a lot today. Language was the life of the media. Therefore,
journalists should have a good command over language and study a lot to have
in-depth knowledge about different subjects. He also said, with a concerted
effort, anybody could develop a good language.
“Our
language reflects our life values and style. Command over language will help
get special respect in society. Using language effectively in journalism needs
special training and effort,” he said.
“Wrong
usage of language, mistakes in spelling and pronunciation was increasing in
journalism these days. He gave several examples for this. The media may lose
its credibility if it continued to use the language carelessly,” he said.
Saying
that correct use of words was most important in journalism, he said, words
sounded different meaning in different contexts. Therefore, budding journalists
should study grammar and use words sensibly and correctly.
On
the occasion, he unveiled a portrait of Basavaraj Kattimani, a great novelist
who had also made a name in the field of journalism.
