Using Folktales of the Bugun Tribe as Textbook Lessons for Teaching English Language to the 131 Primary School Students of the Same Tribe

The Bugun Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh has a rich treasure of folk literature. Students coming from the tribe and learning English as a language subject have been found to be facing problems, where their Textbook Lessons do not bear much correspondence to their tribal contexts. In this paper, a textbook lesson has been prepared for the Class-IV students with folktales from their tribe. It has been seen that such a lesson proves helpful in ensuring their English language skills development.
