Abstract

The use of Hindi as a language of serious discourse* has been on a decline in the past two decades or so, coinciding with the advent of satellite TV and the era of globalization and liberalization. This is especially evident in a metropolitan city like Delhi; anyone who has spent approximately two decades of his/her life in the city, and has been linguistically observant, would endorse this.

Note: Published twice a year in January and July, Language and Language Teaching (LLT) reaches out to language teachers, researchers and teacher educators on issues and practices relevant to language teaching. The primary focus of the publication is language pedagogy in elementary schools. LLT proposes to establish a dialogue between theory and practice so that practice contributes to theory as much as theory informs practice. The purpose is to make new ideas and insights from research on language and its pedagogy accessible to practitioners while at the same time inform theorists about the constraints of implementation of new ideas.
