Language Across the Curriculum (Hindi)

Author: Dr. Sanjeev Sharma

This book is written for the B.Ed Core Course: Language Across the Curriculum (LAC), an important subject introduced by NCTE to be taught in the 1st Semester across all Indian B.Ed programs. Many universities also list this course under names such as Language in Education, Language Analysis and Communication, or LAC – Language in Learning, but all follow the same framework recommended by NCTE and NCERT.

The book explains why language is not only a subject but also a tool for learning every subject—whether it is science, social studies, mathematics, or arts. It highlights how language shapes understanding, communication, classroom participation, and knowledge construction. These concepts directly match the official B.Ed Language Across the Curriculum course, which focuses on improving teachers' abilities to use language effectively in teaching.

Written in simple and clear Hindi, the book helps B.Ed students understand how classroom talk, questioning, reading, writing, and discussion influence learning. It covers essential topics like multilingualism in Indian classrooms, addressing language barriers, supporting learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds, and developing communication-rich teaching practices.

Key areas covered include:

• The role of language in learning

• Strategies for language-supported teaching

• Multilingual classrooms

• Reading comprehension & academic writing

• Classroom interaction and communication

• Teacher’s role in supporting language development

Because this course is a foundational part of modern teacher education, the book is commonly used in these B.Ed subjects:

• Language Across the Curriculum (LAC) – Core Course, 1st Semester

• Language and Learning components in foundational papers

• Language in Education modules based on NCERT/NCTE guidelines

• Communication-focused segments in pedagogy papers

Overall, this book provides a strong understanding of how language influences learning and is highly recommended for Hindi-medium B.Ed students studying the Language Across the Curriculum course.
