  • The Problems of English Teaching and Learning in Mizoram
    ================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 15:5 May 2015 ================================================================= The Problems of English Teaching and Learning in Mizoram Lalsangpuii, M.A. (English), B.Ed. ================================================================= Abstract This paper discusses the problems of English Language Teaching and Learning in Mizoram, a state in India’s North-Eastern region. Since the State is evolving to be a monolingual state, more and more people tend to use only the local language, although skill in English language use is very highly valued by the people. Problems faced by both the teachers and the students are listed. Deficiencies in the syllabus as well as the textbooks are also pointed out. Some methods to improve the skills of both the teachers and students are suggested. Key words: English language teaching and learning, Mizoram schools, problems faced by students and teachers. 1. Introduction In order to understand the conditions and problems of teaching-learning English in Mizoram, it is important to delve into the background of Mizoram - its geographical location, the origin of the people (Mizo), the languages of the people, and the various cultures and customs practised by the people. How and when English Language Teaching (ELT) was started in Mizoram or how English is perceived, studied, seen and appreciated in Mizoram is an interesting question. Its remoteness and location also create problems for the learners. 2. Geographical Location Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:5 May 2015 Lalsangpuii, M.A. (English), B.Ed.

    1 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It is, indeed, heartening to state that the College fraternity is striving with all its might for the enrichment and development of the College education. The vision of the College is not only to produce academically qualified persons but also to proliferate new graduates who are socially efficient and worthy in all walks of human enterprises. The quality of the society depends on the quality of our products and we envisage ourselves as the active suppliers of an educated populace. The College authorities at the higher level are also taking all possible endeavors to attain quality at the higher education. We, the teaching and non-teaching staff of the College, are putting all our efforts ceaselessly together keeping in mind that we are the builders of a better future. Prof. JV. Nunchunga 2 1. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE To meet the demand in quality education and learning, the Bawngkawn community and Durtlang Community respectively established J. Thankima College in 1993 and Lalhmingthanga College in 1992. In line with the State Government Policy, the then two private Colleges were amalgamated and, simultaneously upgraded into a deficit status and renamed as L & J College in 2002. Thereafter, the College was renamed as J. Thankima College and was provincialized in the year 2007. The College got C++ and C grade in the first and second cycle of NAAC accreditation in 2007 and 2016 respectively. She was permanently affiliated to the MZU in 2007 and registered under section 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act of 1956 in 2008 and subsequently received financial assistances under the various schemes of UGC since then.

  • Fractured Inheritance: Negotiating Memories of the Mizo Insurgency in India’S North Eastern Borderlands
    Fractured Inheritance: Negotiating Memories of the Mizo Insurgency in India’s North Eastern Borderlands Renee Lulam, Independent Scholar In 1966, following a severe food shortage of famine proportions, Mizoram in India's North East declared independence from the Indian State. The Indian Government’s response included carpet bombings, prolonged curfews, forced labour, and beatings. People were in constant fear of being labelled ‘rebels’ by the Indian Government, or ‘betrayers’ by the Insurgents. Censorship was rampant and oppressive. People fell back on oral practices to communicate their stories, news and expressions. This has also meant blank spaces in Mizo memory of this period. Recently, a generation of Mizo researchers and scholars who have grown up with new media technologies, or their development, has sought to illuminate these gaps. The internet, with its vast potential for expression has become a site for exploration, narration and recollection. This article reflects on how a post- insurgency, techno-savvy generation negotiates these splinters in their community’s narrative and the public memory they have inherited thirty years after the Peace Accord. Paul Thompson has described how individuals’ stories of their lives and experiences offer a wealth of raw material for the history of a period, providing a firsthand account of the times and changes.1 At the heart of oral history is democratic inclusiveness, the experience of those people whose views are otherwise invisible. The combination of memory, place, and emotion in personal accounts becomes a way to politically engage with the past in more immediate ways. Technological progress has allowed these experiences to be captured for the future in a variety of ways.

    [ VOLUME 6 I ISSUE 2 I APRIL– JUNE 2019] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Narratives of Mizo Traditional Songs: A Thematic Analysis Dr Ruth Lalremruati Assistant Professor, Department of Mizo, Mizoram University, Aizawl, Mizoram. Received: February 07, 2019 Accepted: March 23, 2019 ABSTRACT The various characteristics of Mizo folk songs show the nature and character as well as highlight the richness of the Mizo folk songs. However, it may be wrong to judge it with an in-depth and critical analysis based on today’s written literature, since they are simple literature. That is why it is necessary to understand how we can define its various characteristics and how it is brought to light. And it is for this reason that we will study and acknowledge how the various Mizo folk songs can be identified and emphasized based on the variety of theme. Closely looking into the earlier Mizo songs, we can clearly see that they have a sort of uniform and regular characteristics. One of the richest features of Mizo folklore are the folk songs of various types with their traits of high lyricism, striking opus, unfathomable feeling in various characteristic and wonderful phrase of human feelings. Key Words: Folk, Traditions, Folk Songs, Theme. The Mizo folk songs bestow wonderful variety in terms of bliss and contentment, pain as well as anguish, valor in hunting, bravery and spirit in war and expedition as well. The Mizo folk songs are simple and delightful in nature, full of heartfelt sentiments and profound attitude. Many are allied with the theme of love, expedition; hunting, bereavement and dirge, and some have satirical nature, festival themes etc.

Mizo history showcased past events based on the actual occurrence of events while Mizo literature highlighted the culture, societal set up and lifestyles of the Mizo people. Mizo literature may not be regarded as a fully reliable source for undertaking a comprehensive, detailed analysis of Mizo history but is still able to offer an extensive insight due to the inclusion of the prevailing societal set up and lifestyle; the incorporation of characters created in accordance with those that may have existed in that particular mode of history; the emphasis on the political system and the turmoil that may have plagued the Mizo society at a particular phase in history. Mizo literature is richly laded with the political, economic and social realities that existed at different phases of Mizo history. This paper aims to partake on a critical analysis of the commonalities or the differences that may be located between the recorded history and the literature created or made available during that same historical period through selected Mizo literature that have time and again been regarded as reflective of Mizo history.
