The joint action council of college teachers (JAC) of Tamil Nadu has opposed the move to introduce professional English, a specialised course to improve command over the language, across all undergraduate degrees from 2020-21.
“It is surprising that the higher education department wants to teach professional English with subject teachers instead of language teachers. Only language teachers can improve the command over the language,” M Krishnaraj, convener of JAC, said in a release. The JAC criticized the vice-chancellors of state universities for not properly advising the government on standard procedures for introducing a course. The move is facing much criticism as subject teachers have been asked to teach professional English and allotment of academic hours is becoming difficult as universities have to remove a core subject that would alter the course combination.
