OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In this lecture I will explore the opportunities and challenges afforded by the rich linguistic landscape that is India. I will examine theoretical accounts of literacy development with an eye on the visually distinct orthographies of the region and its unique architecture to capture spoken language. Pedagogical frameworks for supporting literacy development and the many gaps in research that still need addressing will be touched upon.
