Importance of Mother Tongue as a Third Language in School Curriculum: Special Focus on the Galo Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India.

Author(s) Linyir Kamki
Country India
Abstract The identity of tribal people is deeply rooted in their native languages. Their mother tongue is the main source of their indigenous or traditional knowledge. At present, one of the prime challenges of tribal communities of Arunachal Pradesh is to preserve the knowledge of their indigenous culture and tradition, which are mostly in the form of oral narratives. In this field, the Galo tribe of Arunachal Pradesh has endeavored to document their oral narratives and promote and preserve their Indigenous knowledge through the mother tongue textbook. The Gallo Ennam is the newly developed script of the mother tongue language of the Galo tribe of Arunachal Pradesh. It was recognized as a third language by the Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh in 2008. Eventually, since 2010, their mother tongue language textbook has been introduced in the school curriculum of Galo inhabited areas. The main motto of the third language textbook is the preservation of indigenous knowledge in their native language among the younger generation of society. Hence, based on both primary and secondary sources from educational institutes and society, the paper discusses the importance of the mother tongue language as a medium of instruction and focuses on the implementation of the Galo language of Arunachal Pradesh as a third language in the school curriculum.
