Emphasize proper language development and proficiency in schools to learn well all subjects by all

It is a well known fact that language is the basic tool for human beings to name, recognise, organize experience, communicate, and reflect upon themselves and the world around them.

Language is the codified form of verbal and visual thinking. Thus, language is necessary to learn about any knowledge area. Schools must emphasise proficiency in language for students to learn well and succeed.

For children with special needs, language learning has to be phonetically sound, micro-learning based, multimodal and multisensory with a protocol of transaction linked with diagnosis and corrective over-learning, my research experience at Disha in Jaipur informs.

Language mastery is required for the following purposes.

 To know, understand and remember it

 To communicate and solve problems

 To learn and express other subjects or knowledge areas

Therefore, language skills and language arts are the bedrock subjects to learn all other knowledge areas. Language is also the mind’s voice to tell the experience to others.
