520			_aAbstract: This article is based on the observations made during an informal interaction with students of English language and literature at the graduation level, to understand the reasons governing their choice of English as an optional subject and the main problems they face in achieving their goal of acquiring fluency in it as a second language. Students have an adequate theoretical knowledge of grammatical structure but hesitate when it comes to using the language actively as a medium of communication. On further probing, it is apparent that the stumbling block lies more in the attitude of the learners, which results in their inability to grasp adequately the nuances of the language. The article outlines the skills required by second language learners for effective acquisition of English and the skills developed as an additional outcome of their language learning efforts.
