NCF says the conventional teacher links training in speech with:

1. The conventionally trained language teacher thinks of speech training in terms of correctness. 2. This is rather than the expressive and participatory functions of language. 3. So talking in class has a negative value in this system. 4. The conventional link is therefore speech with correctness. **Why not the others:** Expression, participation and confidence are the expressive and participatory functions that the conventional teacher overlooks. _Source: NCERT, National Curriculum Framework 2005, section "3.1.4 Learning to Read and Write", PDF p. 59 (ncert.nic.in/pdf/nc-framework/nf2005-english.pdf)_
