    Dr Douglas Walatara (23 October 1920 - 2 February 2011) was a notable Sri Lankan lecturer in English and had a number of well known published materials. Some of his works have received coverage outside Sri Lanka and some of his books are available through libraries across the globe, such as the Australian National Library.[1]

    Dr Walatara became well known for the "Reconstruction Method" which was a bilingual method that used the student's mother tongue to teach the English language.[2] Some have claimed that this was designed mainly for the benefit of rural children who had difficulty learning English under teachers who themselves “learnt English as a foreign language and for whom English was entirely foreign”
