Ways to Promote LAC



      According to the concept of Language Across Curriculum , language must be taught not just in language classrooms, but in all the subjects and through all the activities arranged at school Instead of devoting just a few periods for teaching language and waiting until the child passes out of school to use language in real life situation, the forum for using it effectively is being arranged at school itself.

  1. Seek governmental involvement by having the concept of language across the curriculum made a school policy.
  2. Encourage teachers to recognize the limits of monolingualism, and promote multilingualism.
  3. Provide adequate incentives for teachers to incorporate LAC in their content areas.
  4. Ensure that training bodies prepare resource materials to guide action in classrooms.
  5. Have a monitoring system on the basis of which grants are distributed to institutions implementing this concept. 
  6. Through a language center or other educational set up, develop a forum for the exchange of ideas and expertise among teachers from all departments.
