Solution:

The language to which a child is predominantly exposed from infancy is known as the mother tongue or first language. In most cases, the language acquired is that of the biological parents, but adopted children acquire the language of their adopting parents. Thus, ones first language is associational in the sense that it is acquired from the environment and learning, not from any physiological inheritance.There are many different languages are used in India, so that teachers should have to pay equal respect to all the languages.According to the concept of inclusive education, all the students of different languages and cultures, so teachers should have to enhance their language and culture.The use of the mother tongue should be emphasized by the teachers because it shows unity in diversity.Students can learn the concept easily in their native language.The culture of the school should be built on considering all the students equally whether they have different cultures and languages.Hence we can consider that the use of the mother tongue by learners in the classrooms should build the culture of the classroom by respecting all the languages equally.HintOne standard language is not prescribed by the school, because there are many students of different culture and languages so they faced difficulties in learning using one standard language.Schools should encourage the mother tongue of the students so that students can learn the concept easily and they feel free in the environment of the classroom.English is not only the prescribed language for the classroom, because there are many students of different cultures and languages who are engaged in the classroom, so that school, as well as teachers, should have to pay equal respect to all the students.
