Question

importance of English in the multilingual context in India.

Answer 1

India is a multilingual country. English is for some a first language of public (academic, societal, creative) discourse. For many it is a second language and many others a foreign language. The school contexts in which English is taught mirror this contextual diversity.

English language teaching has undergone tremendous change over the years, especially the last ten years. Students are burdened with studying, learning and grasping the materials, and of course, lectures with the collection of relevant information from prescribed texts. Many career alternatives once regarded insignificant are gaining importance at present such as communication skills, soft skills, technical skills, interpersonal skills, ICT literacy etc. The need for chiselled graduates to merge successfully in the tough competition of survival in the global market is in great demand .
