Hindustani Teaching Program

Title of the Courses:

Hindustani: Learners and Teachers Window (Zoom in Hindi)

Hindustani: Learners and Teachers Window (Zoom in Urdu)

Although there are dozens of methods, but no single method is worth adopting for a whole syllabus to cover. On other counts methods and their adoption depend also on factors like (e.g., Course content, learner's choice and ease, availability of resources etc.). On the face of diverse methods available and the existing flexibility in their preference, a rational method called AUTOMATION is followed for the whole Program. It is a method of methods having an array of Sub-methods (e.g., Simulation Method, Fun and Frolic Method, Phenomenal Outlet Method, Imitation Method, Transformation and Translation Method etc.). The Sub-methods are opted to give a balance focus to all the aspects of communication (e.g., speaking, listening comprehension, reading and writing).

Objective:

The target of the Program is STORY. How to teach so that a learner should comfortably be able to make, learn, simulate, express, comprehend stories (of/about/...) in the target language. Almost all the learners’ friendly aspects, helpful in achieving the STORY STATE keep on revolving around them.

Material:

The total material comprises of three types.

Infrared: Infrared material (e.g., curriculum, detail course outline, communications to concerned committees and other documents of official use) is restricted material.

Red: News, views, reflections, leaflets etc. which serves largely the purpose of dissemination of information about the program are red material.

Green: Course outline, test sheets, assignment sheets, teaching material which are primarily meant for learners come in this category.

Error Scanner:

Errors of any sort (from source/target or L1, L2, FL texts and contexts) are warmly welcome in the whole process and are timely introduced to the appropriate anti-error in the whole process.

Enrollment, Attendance Policy, Course Procedure, Course Duration and Evaluation Procedure are largely determined and finalized according to the requirements of the setup.

Linguistics

Causatives

Serial Verb Construction and Periphrastic Causative Construction in Hindi-Urdu: The draft argues for the presence of Periphrastic Causative Construction in Hindi-Urdu and in many other Indian Languages. Hindi-Urdu is a verb final language and pronoun dropping is common. Constructions where pronouns are absent and several verbs surfacing in a sequence are normal. A cover term "Serial Verb Construction (SVC) has been given to such constructions more for the convenience in discussion.

Verb Formation

The page invites interested people to share their views on verb-formation in Hindi-Urdu.

Dissertation

M. Phil. Dissertation: This dissertation argues for unambiguous concept formation level, unambiguous lexical conceptual level and unambiguous phrasal and sentential concepts. The pivotal characteristics of verbs in a sentence are a bit minimized with the concept of emitters and manifesters. Emitters are what are called linguistically significant nominal categories in sentences. Manifesters are primarily verbal categories and adpositions. Arguments are provided to show how child language gives a clue to the fact that nominals are basic in sentential concept. In this regard, this dissertation takes a quite different approach. It is hinted that the genesis of manifesters is dependent on the emitted semantic roles and unique features set of emitters. An attempt has been made to capture the general characteristics of causative constructions with the help of the concept of unique features set and semantic roles.
