About the Seminar
Language is multidimensional and language teaching involves various disciplines. Hence, a language teacher needs to be an expert in many fields. This seminar renders an opportunity to explore several disciplines that help a teacher to teach English effectively. English being a global language has become a second language in all most all the countries. What are the fields an English teacher should look into? Translation process -from mother tongue to English and vice versa- paves way for a good knowledge of both the languages. Technology and related disciplines like computational linguistics and corpus linguistics are potential areas of study. Similarly, since language is also experience based , cognitive linguistics play a major role in language teaching .The following are the thrust areas of the conference
