Indian Journal Of Applied Research. 2024 May; 14(5): 43-452249-555Xhttps://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/242042Adivasi students primarily converse in regional languages at home, making learning foreign languages challenging. Attending Bengali-only schools poses dif?culties for them, as does learning English. Bengali is acquired more swiftly due to its proximity to their native tongues compared to English. Academic performance serves as an indicator of language pro?ciency, yet discrepancies in achievement between subjects may exist. Analyzing error rates and categories in Bengali and English can reveal differences in learning approaches. Despite linguistic variations, comparing languages under similar circumstances is plausible. Future corrective measures hinge on the perspectives of language teachers and Adivasi students. Language pro?ciency is crucial for education, social interaction, and personal growth. Schools play a vital role in fostering linguistic competence through structured learning environments. Various education commissions in India have recommended multilingual education to address linguistic diversity effectively. However, challenges such as the shortage of tribal language instructors persist. Multilingual pedagogy is essential for promoting globalization and intercultural communication. Overall, fostering linguistic con?dence and pro?ciency is crucial for Adivasi students to thrive in diverse linguistic environments.Adivasi StudentsLanguage AcquisitionBengaliEnglishMultilingual EducationJournal ArticleIndiaPh.D. Scholar, Swami Vivekananda Centre for Multidisciplinary Research in Educational Studies, Belur Math, Howrah, West BengalAssociate Professor, Swami Vivekananda Centre for Multidisciplinary Research in Educational Studies, Belur Math, Howrah, West Bengal
