ACTION PLAN
The entire project has been fulfilled following different
steps and consultations with features, expert and pears
and with reference to print and visual media.
The project aims at achieving a clear understanding of
the present scenario of diminishing the importance of
mother tongue in our life. For the project, I read and
critically evaluated our lesson “The Last Lesson” and
took out the theme of mother language.
I made a questionnaire using Google form and sent it to
my friends and family through WhatsApp and Instagram,
and collected their opinions about the topic.Along with
that, I have acquired a good proficiency in general
English speaking and methods of interacting with people.
For the project I carried out several researches especially
the Education policy of India that suggests the importance
of mother tongue learning and communication to know
about the steps we have to take to protect our own
regional language. Then I analyzed the data collection
from the questionnaire and came up to a conclusion.

MOTHER
LANGUAGE
THE LAST LESSON
The story " The Last lesson " converses the theme of
mother language. Here the French language of the people
of Alsace and Lorraine was forcefully taken away by the
conquerors the Germans and enforced their language,
German on them.
So, the lesson discusses the importance and value of
mother tongue to the citizens of a country.
The lesson rises many questions about one's language,
culture and individual freedoms.
We can hear silent protests and attempts of repression
throughout the history against the hijacking of their
mother language and imposing a foreign language on
them.
The Prussians in the story have declared through the order
from Berlin that their whole purpose was not only to rule
the territory but also to reign over the mind of the people
by imposing their language on them.
The story enforces the fact that we value something more
when we lose it. That is what we see here with the people
of Alsace and Lorraine.
PRESENT SCENARIO
The present situation existing around us is something like
what has been discussed in the story.
The mother tongue of ours is getting forgotten even at the
primary stage of our education then no need of thinking
about the higher education sectors.
Even though human brain is capable of learning multiple
languages, our education system ignores to extend the due
respect to our own mother tongues.
The language imposed on us through educational
medium, technology, science, commerce and
globalization started over powering our domestic
situation.
I fear one day it will thrash our mother tongue, so the
need of the hour is it should be protected among ourselves
because it’s a part of our culture and heritage of our lives.
People must come to together to uphold the pride and
wealth of their own mother tongue in order to pass down
this legacy to our future generations.
To suffice human's social need for more effective
communication the language was created. The
extremely complex or versatile code, i.e. language, is
used to express our thoughts and experiences to other
people. This makes language a natural phenomenon
that is learnt by a human at an early age for the desire
to express themselves to others.
INFERENCE
As per the opinions of different people, I have inferred
and noted some points as follows:-
As per question 2, 3 and 4, we can see that 54% of
the people want to speak their mother language, but
with family, 64% people always and 23 percent most
of the time speak in their mother language, showing
that families support speaking of mother language.
