	Your Price : Rs 535.50

Description: Indian Voices in ELT focuses on theoretical insights and practical experiments carried out in the area of TED (Teaching English to the Disadvantaged) at different centres in India. The authors include some of the best-known names in ELT as well as practitioners from India and abroad with a varied range of experience. Beginning with conceptual articles situating and defining the target group, the collection moves on to specifying the components that could define a pedagogy of the disadvantaged.

The articles that raise other India-specific questions would interest those in similar situations elsewhere as well. Some daringly different ideas and positions expressed suggest that ELT in India has come of age. The issues raised and empirical data reported in many of these articles match some of the best international practices. This volume to a great extent reveals the goings-on within the country that has for long been regarded as a linguist’s paradise and provides a window for the world to take a peep into the world of Indian ELT.
