In this week's Weekly Reading Circle at Door Step School Foundation, we engaged with the Language sections of the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage and the State Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage of Maharashtra.
The goal was to understand the differences between L1/L2/L3 and R1/R2/R3 and explore the approaches to literacy and language education outlined in both frameworks.
The discussion centered around questions like:
- What are the differences between teaching literacy and teaching language?
- How does teaching literacy differ for children from marginalized communities compared to those in government schools, and what challenges arise?
- Can L1 (home language/mother tongue/familiar language) and R1 (the language a child first learns to read and write in) be considered the same, especially in the context of Marathi? The discussion highlighted the gap between colloquial Marathi spoken at home and the standardized Marathi taught in schools, raising questions about language familiarity and accessibility in early education.
