Teaching English as a second language in India

My views on “Teaching English as a second language in India”


In kapil kapoor is giving view on the English as a second language.

Second language is understood in Two different ways:
  1. English is second language after one or more Indian languages, which are primary and more significantly.
  2. In school Education the second language is what is introduced after the primary stage and has pedagogical as well as functional definition.

           -English as a second language can only be understood is the larger and historical perspective.
          -Teaching in India is a main pivot of educational system. English is the language of knowledge. English is the language of liberal, modern thinking.
        - “English has important functions to serve internally in addition on the world. English may be continuing to the medium of instruction in several faculties at the college level.”
       -English is now widely taught as subject of study in different languages teaching situations of different levels in India.

Poem Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka

 Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka           In the summary of Telephone conversation by Wole Soyinka, the poet talks about two people on the phone and the story goes on to narrate how the African man is looking for a house and the land lady has proposed a considerable price for the same. The poem strikes a positive note as the man gets to know that his privacy won’t be hampered as the landlady doesn’t stay on the premises.
