SAVE THE LANGUAGE SAVE THE CULTURE

International Mother Language Day was celebrated with high spirit and

great enthusiasm at Silver Oaks   to promote awareness of linguistic

and cultural diversity and multi lingualism in the country . Interestingly

within the school 15 different mother languages are spoken by students

and teachers  which gave a feel that the mother language is one of the

most powerful tools used to preserve and convey culture and cultural

ties and also it is one of the most precious treasures of our lives.

Relationship between language and culture was enjoyed with great

pleasure through songs where it opened a new window in everyone’s

world view and made more aware and also open-minded and

respectful to other cultures, lifestyles, customs and beliefs. Discussion

on language is an attitude made everyone thought how language is a

part of culture and a part of human behaviour. Students were told that

this generation mostly they connect themselves to movies and more

effected by movie language which is not really to be proud of….

Language must give an identity of dignity. Finally celebrations were

concluded with together singing medley of songs with maximum

number of languages  with a strong message that its every ones duty

and responsibility to preserve mother language and pass it down from

generation to generation.
