They throw open questions thatteachers and leaders at school level should beengaging with. The language used is simple, andcan be understood easily. This journal willdefinitely bridge the gap between academicresearch and teaching practice.Harpeet Kaur, Curriculum Developer and TeacherTrainer, Bharat National Public School, DelhiAll the authors in the first issue of Languageand Language Teaching have raised pertinentquestions related to school education: literacy,comprehension, exposure, resources, firstgeneration learners, and many others. These areall real issues at the grass root level that theteachers grapple with all the time. Some of thearticles suggest ways in which small steps haveled to or could lead to better teaching/learningoutcomes.However, I feel that some of the teachers ingovernment schools may need models ortraining to learn how to employ scaffoldingtechniques for activating their students’knowledge, or to teach their students tocomprehend reading or develop writing skills.If we could get some articles that focus oninitiatives or experiments that have been triedout in actual classrooms using differentpedagogic techniques, and have drawn uponsome of these very relevant suggestions, it wouldhelp school teachers immensely in implementing‘tried and tested’ techniques.Chhaya Sawhney, Assistant Professor, Deptt. ofElementary Education, Gargi College,University of Delhi, DelhiLanguage and Language Teaching Volume 1 Number 2 July 2012 65
