> Foreign language teaching (FLT) and study is witnessing a renaissance in
> India after its introduction in the universities of Delhi in the 1950s and
> 1960s. The last decade has seen departments being opened and expanded in
> all parts of the country. Often they work in tandem with language centers
> run by the embassies such as those of Japan, Portugal, Italy, Spain,
> Germany and France who pool resources on the array of teaching
> methodologies, and sophisticated strategies to attract learners. FLT
> methodology forms a vital aspect of all language departments and in the
> last few years there has been a spurt in learner corpora and publications
> on this subject.
>
> It is perhaps also an opportune time to reflect on the premises that have
> guided foreign language teaching and learning in India. In the nineteenth
> century, as we know, the teaching of English by the colonial government
> was considered a measure to create pliant administrators and
> functionaries. However, the study of English literature and language
> fortuitously acquired a life of its own and English became an important
> link language between states. It internationalized education in India and
> gave a boost to philosophical and political thought on the nature of
> British rule among other things.
>
> In a post colonial scenario to what extent have utilitarian considerations
> and the creation of employment avenues guided the opening of other
> European and Asian language schools? Given the volatile nature of markets
> and the rise and fall of particular languages in economic terms, should
> education lean on short term result oriented frameworks or be
> intellectually sustaining for a lifetime? Does globalization mean only
> marketability of education and students or does it also open up new vistas
> like the study of the culture, philosophy and ethos of other nations? Is
> foreign language teaching fulfilling the Nehruvian vision of
> interdisciplinary studies encompassing the social sciences? Since
> translation is one of the prime foci of language learning, have language
> learners been able to meet the demands for translations across
> disciplines? Finally how do literature, films and the arts promote
> understanding and build bridges between countries? Are they tools to come
> closer to the Other or merely to study the reflection of the Self in
> another?
>
> We intend to hold a seminar at the School of Languages in Doon University,
> Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India in the Himalayan foothills on these and
> related matters. Presently we have three languages: Chinese, Spanish and
> German but papers dealing with the above thematic are invited from all
> foreign language and English teachers or researchers engaged in cross
> cultural initiatives from India and abroad. We feel learning and pooling
> our resources about our craft and shared topics of concern will enhance
> our caliber as professionals in our chosen areas.
