Multilingual Classroom Resources

This chapter builds Multilingual Classroom Resources for CTET Paper 2 Language pedagogy in Classes VI-VIII. It covers what counts as multilingual resources (L1 as asset, bilingual charts, dual-language texts, peer translation, community stories), NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023 stance never forbidding home language, four-skills support, purposeful word walls and bilingual glossaries, planned code-switching, assessment fairness with scaffolds, CTET traps (English-only prestige, L1-as-deficit, confusion with single TLM flashcard or full Multi-Media), brief sibling lines for TLM, Multi-Media, Remedial Teaching and Errors, and upper-primary caselets — kept strictly on multilingual classroom resources in a practising teacher voice.
