Transparency in Language to Enhance Student Learning

Abstract

This chapter explores the unfocused paradigm of language as a tool to bring transparency to the teaching-learning framework focusing on the unique context of India. Insights are provided on how the language used as a medium of instruction within higher educational institutions can hinder students' learning experiences and how transparency dimensions can enhance students' learning and performances. Recent developments in India, including New Education Policy 2020 and the opines of stakeholders such as educational administrators, faculty, and students, are integrated to further broaden perspectives pertaining to transparency, language, and students' learning and performances.
