People currently experience anxiety about writing: KSOU director
Mysuru: KSOU Akka Mahadevi Research and Extension Center director Kavita Rai on Sunday emphasised that while language speaking can be taught, writing instruction poses significant challenges.
She noted that people currently experience anxiety about writing. She also expressed criticism towards actor Kamal Haasan's recent comments about the Kannada language.
Speaking at an event, she said that as a result of modern technology, the process of translation from one language to another is happening on a large scale. The youth of the current era have become proficient in computer writing rather than handwriting.
There is no need to be surprised if in the future they write with the help of artificial intelligence, she said.
She highlighted the complexity of teaching writing in one language to speakers of another, considering social and cultural contexts. She noted that linguistic expression varies among individuals. She pointed out that languages did not develop sequentially but emerged simultaneously.
Poet Jyothi Guruprasad highlighted the increasing instances of plagiarism.
She noted that this practice has disrupted the connection between reading and critical thinking, with unauthorised sharing of content on social media becoming prevalent. She attributed this to inadequate educational methodologies.
She advocated for educational institutions to adopt teaching approaches that make learning enjoyable, which would encourage students to develop independent writing skills.
The event was attended by writers C Naganna and Kalpana Mukunda Iyengar.

Director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan accuses Mohanlal's 'Thudarum': ‘They stole the skeleton of my story'; shares post
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Filmmaker Sanal Kumar Sasidharan has come forward with allegations against the makers of the Mohanlal starrer 'Thudarum', directed by Tharun Moorthy. In a detailed Facebook post, Sanal claimed that the core idea and structure of 'Thudarum' were lifted from a script he wrote in 2020, titled 'Theeyattam'. While the storyline has been modified, Sanal believes the original foundation of his work remains evident throughout the film. 'They stole the skeleton of my story' 'I watched the film 'Thudarum'. It is essentially a theft of the core idea from a script I wrote back in 2020 titled 'Theeyattam'. The film has been made by stealing the skeleton of my story,' Sanal wrote. Kannappa - Official Kannada Trailer He further added, 'Since they either lacked the insight to grasp its essence or deliberately chose not to include it in a way that could be recognized, the soul of the original remains intact and untouched.' Sanal explained that 'Theeyattam' centers around the story of Ambi, an autorickshaw driver who gets wrongly implicated in the brutal murder and beheading of a man found in his vehicle. According to him, this core plot has been replicated in Thudarum without any credit or acknowledgment. A lifted dialogue and forgotten conscience? Sanal pointed out that a specific line from his original screenplay—'If you kill, it's a sin; if you eat, it's cleansed'—has appeared in 'Thudarum', despite having no contextual relevance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo 'It felt like the kind of usage where even expert thieves—who usually leave no trace—sometimes forget things out of sheer overconfidence. That's what this dialogue's inclusion felt like,' he stated. 'Will be publishing screenplay soon' Sanal also revealed that a major production house had once agreed to produce Theeyattam, with actors like Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Murali Gopy, and Sudheer Karamana reading the script. 'Given that five years have passed, it's possible they may have forgotten,' he wrote, adding, 'I will be publishing my screenplay here soon.'
