Abstract:

India is a nation of Multilingualism. Officially 415 languages with their dialects are spoken in different states, and each language has a number of dialects. As stated by Nicolaou et al. (2016), “Multilanguage approach will manifest its afforded ness and in daily encounters within educational sectors.” Primary children from tribal areas find difficulty in academic achievement since the language of transfer of instruction-L2 is used by school teachers, which is Marathi in the state of Maharashtra, and language is spoken at home –L1,which is Korku in Amravati district of Maharashtra are different. The authors are of the opinion that making use of L1 while teaching would be effective in students’ academic achievement and would also help raise the level of confidence in students as well as teachers. The authors wish to explore more in this direction by undertaking further deep research.
