- Abstract
-
The paper reviews the ever changing significance of English in brief in order
to know about the trends of teaching that revolutionized the language learning
especially as the Second Language in India. The emergence of increased importance
of English language is traced peeping into retrospect with a view to feel the pulse of
Higher Education in India. This enables the reader to realize the widened gap
occurred on account of fighting for freedom from British English, which was to be
replaced by regional languages. The advent of Information and Communication
Technology, ICT and its influence exerted globally, made it a language used for
various purposes. Visualizing the scenario in the field of Science and Technology, the
paper sorts out the problems cropping up there of and furnishes a certain solutions
clubbed with experiences of classroom teaching giving scope for further research by
exploring the areas open for meticulous and close study through Action Researches. - References
