DESCRIPTION
Several years back a seminar was conducted in Nagaland in which the participants were able to air their views on issues related to language education in the state. None of the participants had written a paper on the theme and several wee not sure what they ought to say. It was obvious that there was lack of information in the state on the subject and hence the first felt need was to just create a profile of the speech communities. There ws also a realization that some issues that were general could be best examined as policy relaed, while others were to be examined in their local context. While the need to review the policy was to involve further sociolinguistic research, the view on the use of different languages were to be recorded and made available for further debate it was felt that the views of the government both state and central were important as also those of teachers, researchers, administrators, trainers and material producers. The views of the people were to be elicited through research so that the recipients of policy are able to participate in shaping their own destiny. This book attempts a part of that former task by bringing together some of the different views.
