A Guide From Nannool's Preface (Tamil Grammar) for better writing, teaching, learning, etc.
Ancient #Tamil poets possessed profound insights into various subjects, particularly in education. From #Tholkaappiyam, the oldest surviving Tamil text from around 500 BCE, to #Nannool, an 800-year-old Tamil grammar treatise, these scholars meticulously explored the structure of textbooks and the teaching-learning process. Their principles, remarkably relevant even in today's technology-driven world, have stood the test of time.
In this series, I will delve into these enduring concepts and demonstrate how they can be effectively adapted for contemporary use. By drawing from Nannool's poetic aphorisms, I aim to shed light on the timeless wisdom of these ancient texts and their application in our modern era.
