A common cognitive academic linguistic proficiency

the unsatisfactory achievement levels of academic linguistic proficiency in the first

language(s) in, for example, reading and writing, thus the failure to provide an academic base for the second language. There are data to show (Nag-Arulmani 2005) that 40 per cent of children in small towns, 80 per cent of children in tribal areas, and 18 per cent of children in urban schools cannot read in their own language at the primary stage; these disparities widen and translate into general academic failure at later stages.

the failure to ensure the spontaneous working knowledge of English on which higher-order skills (such as reading with inferential comprehension, and writing with conceptual clarity) can be built.

Within the eight years of education guaranteed to every child, it should be possible in a span of about four years to ensure basic English-language proficiency. This would include basic literacy skills of reading and writing. But for this the teaching of languages in general must achieve a better success in our schools, for literacy skills are transferable. Alternatively, if English is insisted on as a medium at very early stages, its teaching should ensure better success in literacy in other languages, as documented by West (1941).
