Abstract:
Language is the vehicle of thought. Primarily it is oral or spoken and then it
comes to writing. English is now the richest language in the world with its
million vocabularies and there is no country, which is not teaching the
language to its youngsters, as it is felt in dispensable to its rational and
international transactions.
Language as a vehicle of communication is the very crucial to the
whole process of education, since it is through language that everything is
taught and learnt in a majority of teaching-learning situations, including the
classroom. Though, there are certain non-verbal means and methods through
which learning can take place, they are rarely used and it is mostly through
language that education is imparted in schools.
English is regarded as a world language. These days English is taught
in India as a second language as well as a foreign language. English is an
easy language to learn. The place of English in present day curriculum
clearly indicates the lack of uniform policy. In teaching English to our
students our aim should be to enable them to use English with ease and
comfort. They s,hould be able to speak and write English effectively and
develop an ability to understand the basic pattern of the culture of English
speaking people. English provided a medium for understanding technology
and scientific development.
