The article focuses on a classroom discussion in Kolkata, India, where an American Fulbright teacher explores the significance of concrete nouns in understanding and expressing everyday life. Topics include the cultural clash and challenges of teaching writing in a cross-cultural context, the limitations of language in representing complex experiences like the horrors of Partition, and the tension between traditional and modern perspectives in a globalized educational setting. |
