Using Folktales Of The Monpa Tribe As Primary School Textbook Lessons For Class-Iii English Language Teaching To Students Of The Same Tribe

Abstract

The Monpa Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh has a rich treasure of folk literature. Students coming from the tribe and learning English as a language subject have been found to be facing problems when their Textbook lessons do not bear much correspondence to their tribal contexts. In this paper a textbook lesson has been prepared for the Class-III students with folktales from their tribe. It has been seen that such a lesson proves helpful in ensuring their English language skills development.
