Teaching of English:A plea for practical Attitude :-
by R.K.Singh
English in India us a potentiolal language resource. It is important to developed tolerance and positive altitude towards English.English has been long adopted and firmly established as link language by our national leaders during the after and freedom struggles not only for mutual communication and coexistence but also for saving the republic form small state nationalism.
As we all know English its roots in our country as a language if national resurgence , political awakening and cultural unification and happily , continues to grow as such in its localised way.
English is also functioning is also already as a link language in the present day global village not necessarily for reason of quality for political and historical reason. in now a day English language use the 750million people around the world it either as a first or second language.its not just matter if convenience that English should be used universally .and even in India use the English language with the 'associate official languages.
we all are agree to see English as a natural language of communication without identifying it with the UK or the USA .
write quote George Steiner : " To know another language well, to experience in personal immediacy the transparencies or opaquesness which link or divide it form one's native speech - to do these things is quite literally, to harvest a second self , it is open a second window on the landscape of being".
language tensions are normal in a world when over 6000 language coexist in 160 countries , like in India as we know very well in our country
- 850 million people used the - 1650 language,
- dialects including more than 200 classified language
15 constitutionally recognised language of national importance.
If we teach English as a means of communication , we should also understand the essence of communication is meaningful interaction between participants , be it in the context of speaking , listening , writing or reading.
The teaching about the language but presenting and practising with a such language items that learners may need in real life .
This should help in achieving the second objective , that is providing activities from which they know they are leatning .
we have yo give then opportunity to use language in intelligent and relevant interaction.
The third objective relates to motivating the students to experience success to make them believe it is possible.
Teacher to keep in mind various approaches rather than a specific method .
The main different between an approaches and a method is that the former student is flexible while the latter is rigid.
Teaching English should be seen as an opportunity to explore and understand , to question and argue , to learn and to retain something new , somthing different via language. English language is the give opportunities to all who person this who make something diffrents and it is really to help full to all.
