PROBLEMS IN TEACHING ENGLISH IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN NORTH TRIPURA DISTRICT
M.Phil. Dissertation

MR. MALAY NATH

Abstract

Aptly knowing English has become a mandatory on the part of one and all- be they in the zone of education, business or job. If they do not properly know this language, they have to have a tough time, no matter how much educated they may be. It can be jotted down that it is must to know English in order to live a hunky-dory and thriving life. It is English alone that can enable us to keep abreast of the knowledge all over the world, for the majority of the knowledge the world over is passionately preserved only in this said language. Ergo, having considered this very fact, the researcher thought it quite necessary to undertake a research work in the arena of the English Language Teaching (hereinafter referred to as “ELT”) at the secondary level in the North Tripura District in order to analytically detect the problems in the same field, thus providing logical solutions to them, so that the secondary level students of this district could be proficient in the English language, thereby being able to keep pace with the ongoing phenomena in the universe of knowledge in the era of globalisation. He chose only the North Tripura District because out of the total eight districts, it is the North Tripura District alone which has been the worst prey to the tremendously pathetic ELT situation at the secondary level. Also, he selected only the secondary level schools because it is assumed that it is at the secondary level that North Tripura District learners can properly learn the English language provided that they are taught properly and teaching-learning can properly be done only when the problems afflicting it can be systematically found out and solved.

Four Government vernacular medium secondary schools in total- all belonging to the North Tripura District- took part in this research. The researcher kept English medium and private secondary schools out of reach of this research work because they are extremely less in number, thus not being able to bring about a homogeneous sample.

Keywords: Problems faced in English Language Teaching, North Tripura District, Tripura, India
