Methods and Methodology used to Teach English Language in Secondary Schools in Dr. B R Ambedkar Konaseema District, Andhra Pradesh

Abstract

Communication skills in English have become very essential in this Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution era. People who have effective communication skills in English have better opportunities to either receive or disseminate knowledge. Almost entire higher education is being offered only in English and to communicate with people in a highly diversified country like India is once again through English.  For most of the students studying in state run schools, the status of oral and written communication skills is poor. The teachers and the students including the educational administrators prefer communicating in their mother tongue than to communicate in English. Much of the time, communication in English is influenced by mother tongue or local dialect in every part of India. The development of communication skills among students can be effectively understood by the materials and methodology of learning and teaching English language, and it is keenly observed from the communication point of view.
