Task on ELT : The role of English in India



This blog is a part of my academic task which was given in ELT-1.

1)    What is English Language for you?

 English Language is worldwide known language. Nowadays learning English language is very valuable as well as it can create many opportunities.  Learning English language is a kind of passion for me. I frequently listen many people talking like that, learning English language is not an easy task or even some may find it boring. But I am not agree with that point, if one really want to learn this language and do it, then one must develop  that grip or understanding over this language. English is the language which is connected with almost every field like Computer, Science, Mass Media or Business. It is also the language of International communication or as well as nowadays when everything becomes digital, it allows us to access more information from google.

2)    What kind of challenges you are facing and have faced while learning this language?

As we know that our first language or mother tongue is Gujarati. Learning English language as foreign language is a little bit difficult, but not that much of hard. I face that problem of fluency or accuracy over this language. But the regular practice of English language will surely help to overcome this.The major problem we have to face is about that changing form of language, while we have at our collage or at business place generally we prefer to communicate in English language but while at home we have to communicate in Gujarati.

3)    Write in brief your understanding about any one essay.

“Teaching English as ‘Second Language’ in India” by Kapil Kapoor
In this as Kapil Kapoor talks about the term ‘second language’ which is understood in two different ways. The essay also highlights that socio political conditions behind the acceptance of English  as a Second Language in India as well as he compares the modern language learning with the traditional language learning.

4)    According to you which position English Language should be given?

As I earlier mentioned that in the very first question that English is an international language or a business language. It seems well and good if English language should be at position of first language. But here in India, we have not that much of progress in the education. Still there are many uneducated people who generally prefer to communicate in their native language. If the English should be given the first position, it may become difficult for people to communicate in the country like India.

5)    How you see your future with English Language?

Being a student of English literature or language, I can see my future as shiny like star. But in every field, one have to face lot of challenges than how can this field remain aloof from it? In that matter, there is no doubt that English language will provide you a better options for earning in comparison to other languages. But for that one must have to develop that command or understanding over that language.
