ABSTRACT
Adjustment is an age-old concept that helps in maintaining wellbeing of the individual and the society. Pre-service teacher education prepares students towards making a competent individual that can effectively manage the society, hence the pre-service teachers must be a well-adjusted individual. Language often plays a key role in determining the adjustment pattern of any individual. The present study made an attempt to explore the adjustment problems of pupil-teachers with specific focus on the local and official language related issues. The objectives included identification of language-related adjustment levels of pupil-teachers and the difference of adjustment level on the basis of certain demographic variables like gender, locality, area, and age group. The sample of this descriptive survey study comprised of 165 pupil-teachers of Western Odisha region selected through simple random sampling. The data was collected using a self-standardized tool named LBAS (Language Barrier and Adjustment Scale). The findings revealed that there was a significant level of adjustment issues among the pupil-teachers. However, there were no significant differences amongst the pupil-teachers on the basis of gender, locality, area, and age group.
