Dr Shanmugam K (Head of Tamil Programme, School of Arts & Social Sciences, UniSIM)
Among many Tamil families, English is the language of choice used predominantly in the home. Tamil is a diglossic language. A child who is not exposed to the spoken language early in life will likely face difficulties learning the written form later in school. The talk will focus on Tamil parents’ responsibility in promoting spoken Tamil.
This session is a part of the Parents Forum.
