on
Teaching of English and Indigenous Cultures
A teacher in Punjab / Tamil Nadu sings a lullaby to the class, a song that they are familiar with, a context most intimate to them. S/he weaves a web of familiar lexicography not to lull them to sleep but to teach them their second language i.e English through translation. Consider a second scenario: students read indigenous writers/ texts in translation to get a better understanding of the culture in which these texts are contextualised. It is true that the native and indigenous cultures have always influenced our pedagogies in the classroom in myriad ways. This special issue of Fortell attempts to bring to the fore, modes and methods of engagement with these texts whether in their native languages or in translation. We invite articles pertaining to, though not restricted to the interface between English and the Indigenous with a deep focus on pedagogy.
