| Developed over three years of intensive field-level interaction with neo-literate adult women and girls, Bolti Hai Bhasha takes on board problems commonly experienced by them: Difficulty with different vowels, diacritic sounds, common errors in using prepositions, past and present tense etc. Exercises have been developed specifically to deal with these problems.
Bolti Hai Bhasha also makes a critical link between language-related skills and the social context of language. Gender issues are inter-woven into the content of the chapters. The broad themes that are covered in the curriculum are women and work, violence against women and women's identities. But the curriculum goes beyond content to unpack or deconstruct language itself to sensitise both learner and the teacher about the power of words to define, describe, delimit and expand women's experiences.
There are specific and simple write-ups on language-related issues for the teacher. Bolti Hai Bhasha takes the first step towards moving language teaching beyond mere skill acquisition. It shares information on how and when Hindi emerged, its relationship with other languages and its role in mirroring gender relations in our society.
The package contains a teachers’ book as well as a workbook for learners. The teachers’ book has activities, games and sound-related exercises that can be conducted by her. It also has information and back-up reading materials to enable her to undertake discussions on the questions raised in each chapter.
The Learners' Workbook has fifteen chapters that contain simple texts, poems, exercises, stories, information, photographs and functional grammar to facilitate a better command over Hindi, improve self expression and develop critical thinking. |
