Abstract

This study represents the present scenario and shortcomings of syllabus of English language inside the madrasas of West Bengal (WB), which need to be redesigned so as to give an inclusive outlook to the madrasa curriculum. Certain functional aspects of English language can be introduced with the modern teaching methods in madrasas so that they can be brought at par with mainstream or with other students who belong to other boards. Within the context of madrasa education and religious instruction, syllabus on communication skills in English needs restructuring to suit the present day requirements of vocational, technical and professional manpower. As the madrasa students fail in accessing social mobility, through diagnostic test, teachers’ interview and textbook analysis (as part of methodology) this paper examines an increasing need for improving English language syllabus as a tool for modernization and bringing the madrasas at par with the educational institutions of national importance and higher learning.

R Nehal (2011). think that the clouds are going to get worse and turn to rain. Such an assump-tion is of a very standard sort and would probably be the ﬁrst to come to mind. The old man can thus be reasonably conﬁdent that, prompted by his behaviour, she will have no difﬁculty in deciding that this is what he believes. If it were not manifest to the old man that it was going to rain, it would be hard to explain his behaviour at all. The girl thus has reason to think that in drawing her atten-tion to the clouds, he intended to make manifest to her that he believed it was going to rain. As a result of this act of ostension, she now has some information that was not available to her before: that he thinks it is going to rain, and hence that there is a genuine risk of rain. In this example, the state of affairs that the old man drew the girl’s attention to had been partly manifest to her, and partly not. The presence of the clouds and the fact that clouds may always turn to rain had been manifest and merely became more so. However, until that moment she had regarded the fact that the weather was beautiful as strong evidence that it would not rain. The risk of rain in that particular situation was not manifest to her at all. In other words, the clouds were already evidence of oncoming rain, but evidence that was much too weak. The old man made that evidence much stronger by pointing it out; as his intentions became manifest, the assumption that it would rain became manifest too. Sometimes, all the evidence displayed in an act of ostension bears directly on the agent’s intentions. In these cases, only by discovering the agent’s intentions can the audience also discover, indirectly, the basic information that the agent intended to make manifest. The relation between the evidence produced and the basic information conveyed is arbitrary. The same piece of evidence can be used, on different occasions, to make manifest different assumptions, even mutually in-consistent assumptions, as long as it makes manifest the intention behind the ostension. Here is an example. Two prisoners, from different tribes with no common language, are put in a quarry to work back to back breaking rocks. Suddenly, prisoner A starts putting some distinct rhythm into the sound of his hammer – one–two–three, one–two, one–two–three, one–two – a rhythm that is both arbi-trary and noticeable enough to attract the attention of prisoner B. This arbitrary pattern in the way the rocks are being broken has no direct relevance for B. However, there are grounds for thinking that it has been intentionally produced, and B might ask himself what A’s intentions were in producing it. One plausible assumption is that this is a piece of ostensive behaviour: that is, that A intended B to notice the pattern. This would in turn make manifest A’s desire to interact with B, which in the circumstances would be relevant enough. Here is a more substantial example. Prisoners A and B are at work in their quarry, each with a guard at his shoulder, when suddenly the attention of the guards is distracted. Both prisoners realise that they have a good chance of escaping, but only if they can co-ordinate their attack and overpower their guards simultaneously. Here, it is clear what information would be relevant: each wants to know when the other will start the attack. Prisoner A suddenly whistles, the prisoners overpower their guards and escape. Again, there is no need for a pre-.
