Book Description
Foreword

Teaching, learning and evaluation are the three important activities of educational system and they are independent as well as interdependent activities. For the system to be more effective, all the activities should be given equal importance. The ineffectiveness of any one of these will affect the system inexplicably. But the first two are, to a greater extent, emphasized in the educational system. Evaluation, as such, is not cared enough not only in language education but in other studies also. In fact, the process and product are very much important as far as evaluation is concerned. Apart from these two factors, namely, process and product, the ultimate objective of language education is to scientifically and systematically evaluate the competence and performance of the learners.

The National Testing Service-India established in the Central Institute of Indian Languages to cater to the successful pedagogical needs of scientific and systematic teaching, learning and evaluation in different levels of language education has three primary objectives, namely, (i) creation of nationwide consensus and awareness about concrete methods and purposes of evaluation, (ii) production of basic reference materials and (iii) development of training human resources in this area. The NTS-India has been conducting orientation programmes for the teachers for successful implementation of the stimulating research findings on the concept based continuum of graded syllabi containing separate dimensions for language and literature.

NTS-I has already brought out 3 books on testing & evaluating language & literature contributing to the professional development of the language teachers. The present book in your hands is on the Research Methods appropriate for language and literature in Tamil. Any developmental activity should be preceded and followed by research to ensure its usefulness to the ultimate beneficiaries. The research may be of any kind - basic or applied.

Accordingly, this volume consisting of 14 articles by eminent scholars in the field of Tamil research is being published by NTS-I. These articles are the modified forms of the lectures delivered by the scholars during the orientation programme on research methodology organized by NTS-I at: International Institute of Tamil Studies, Chennai from 07/10/2013 to 11/10/2013.

The different issues involved in the research studies of language and literature, especially in Tamil, have been dealt with elaborately by the experts. Wherever possible the experts have offered solutions to sort out the issues faced by the researchers.

I wish that those who are involved in Tamil research are benefitted by this book and in turn contribute to the development of further research by their research in the different areas of Tamil language & literature.

I take this opportunity to appreciate Dr. M. Balakumar and his team for their sustained efforts to bring out more & more academic materials to help the teachers teaching Indian languages in India and abroad.
