- KAPIL KAPOOR
English as a second language along with other Indian languages, and it is this illogicality which accounts for the poor 'Standard' of English in spite of the tremendous investments in ELT.
Teaching English in India is a main vital of educational system. The present situation of studies in India is more based on English as a medium of requirement. English has been inhabited a important role in education everywhere in the world as it became 'global' and 'link' language.English is our window on the world and English is the link language. Mainly in India English is taught as second language as formed by many committees and commissions, English is considered as a compulsory education for six years. An English-medium education system is one that uses English as the primary medium of education – in certain where English is not the mother tongue of the students.
At the level, English continues to be “the language of opportunity” and “the language of upward social mobility”. The primary aim of teaching English as a second language at the secondary level should be to give the learners an effective ability of the language, that is, to help them acquier.
In this argue we can say that there also create many problems to discuss to find here why the Indian students could not acquire English naturally. The problems is widely based on many following factors. Especially Andhra Pradesh never legged behind in helping the children in learning English. As a second language teaching situation, it is regarded necessary to import instruction in the four basic language skill – [1] listening, [2] speaking, [3] reading, [4] writing. The language curriculum objectives of different skills have their different levels.
This paper may be useful for the teachers and writers of English who prepare the text book and who instruct the students. But at the same time more qualifications should be needed to change in the manufacturing of the syllabus.
