DIFFICULTIES IN FLUENTLY SPEAKING HINDI LANGUAGE OF HINDI METHODOLOGY STUDENTS FROM NON - HINDI SPEAKING STATES Dr. Dipak R. Pandya Asst. Professor, S. D. Shethia College of Education, Mundra - Kachchh, India. ABSTRACT Education is an exchange with the help of the major four skills like listening, spiking, reading and writing. In classroom teaching work, the teacher has to use the speaking skills the most. In the B.Ed., the trainees who are taking training to become teachers of Hindi subject with Hindi methodology, if they themselves cannot speak very well in Hindi language then how will they be able to teach their students in Hindi ? Researcher himself is a lecturer in Hindi methodology in a B.Ed. college. Periodically this problem was found in practical work or during communication. Therefore, Researcher decided to do an Action research work on this problem. This work has been done with the objectives like, to know the reasons for not being able to speak Hindi very well, to know the mistakes being made in speaking Hindi, to tell the ways of effective speaking in Hindi etc. In this work survey method was used by the researcher. The collection of data was done with the help of an Interview Schedule. The analysis of data in this work was performed by calculating percentage. By having years of experience of teaching Hindi Methodology students, the reasons for the students' difficulties to speak Hindi are: they do not get enough opportunities to speak in Hindi, they mostly speak in Gujarati with friends, there is no atmosphere of speaking in Hindi in the family conversations also, teachers also did not create classroom atmosphere for speaking in Hindi etc. For the improvement in Hindi Speaking skills several suggestions are given by the researcher like: Communication with the Method Master in Hindi only, conversing in Hindi with friends as well, coming to the stage and express themselves in Hindi whenever they get opportunities etc. Some trainees have rigorously implemented all these suggestions and some considerable improvement has been observed among their Hindi Speaking skills. INTRODUCTION: Speaking is fundamental to human communication. Just think of all the different conversations we have in one day and compare that with how much written communication we do in one day.? In our daily life we speak more than we write, yet many Hindi Student teachers still spend the majority of class time on reading and writing practice almost ignoring speaking and listening skills. Do we think this is a good balance? If the goal of our language course is truly to enable our students to communicate in Hindi, then speaking skills should be taught and practiced in the language classroom. We have to ask Why should we teach speaking skills in the classroom? Many students equate being able to speak a language as knowing the language and therefore view learning the language as learning how to speak the language, Therefore, if students do not learn how to speak or do not get any opportunity to speak in the language classroom they may soon get de-motivated and lose interest in learning. On the other hand, if the right activities are taught in the right way, speaking in class can be a lot of fun, raising general learner motivation and making the Hindi language classroom a fun and dynamic place to be. Thus, trainees who are going to become Hindi language teachers are required to learn effective Hindi speaking for the enthusiastic education of their future students. Researcher is working as a lecturer in Hindi subject method in B.Ed College, So time to time communication has to be done with trainees by researcher. So this problem came to mind in researcher.
