Standard curriculum for Tamil as foreign language mooted



The Tamil Nadu government should extend help in developing a new
language teaching model to those who want to study Tamil as a foreign
language, according to Ulrike Niklas, Tamil Professor at the
University of Cologne, Germany.



Expressing her desire to associate herself with such a project, Prof.
Niklas told The Hindu here on Thursday that those teaching Tamil to
foreign students should undergo training. A specific course was needed
for this. Such courses should be introduced in colleges in the State
first. The government should also help with financial support in this
effort and an international group could be formed to frame the
curriculum.
