Learning English Language in India: Challenges and Opportunities

Chitta Ranjan Bhoi, M.Phil., Ph.D. Candidate

Abstract

A study of English teaching-learning process in undergraduate and post graduate classes is quite fascinating and fastidious. In fact both the teacher and the learners are unaware of the effective pedagogical strategies. There are innumerable problems in this teaching-learning process which need to be addressed by the language trainers and learners with care and concern.

My paper would explore the challenges and opportunities available for the teachers and students in India. In order to substantiate my points, the paper would be based on some major issues observed in our practical life. But the fact remains that learning of English is inevitable for success in this globalised world. Indeed, I have drawn my own conclusion that to master English language, self-practice is inevitable, which can never be substituted.

Teaching English Language in Under-Graduate Classes

Teaching English language in under-graduate classes is still a thought-provoking and tough proposition. Though people in general and students in particular are crazy to learn English, this has become a challenging task for both teachers and students. Students are seen going to English coaching centers and tutorials in large numbers to master the desired language, but are often seen lagging behind. Much hue and cry has been witnessed on the issue of how to gain knowledge and skill in speaking and writing English. Examinations and reexaminations have been conducted through seminars and workshops, conferences and symposia on this issue, but nothing encouraging and substantial has emerged out of these exercises. Therefore, it is highly essential to delve deep into the root cause of all such issues.
