The process of teaching a second language is different from learning a first language.
Mother tongue acquisition is a natural process where as second language learning is a classroom
activity. Naturally, a second language learner is liable to commit errors.
The ultimate aim of language teaching is to make the students achieve the ability of
communicative performance. The student must be able to perform communicative functions with
the help of the language they learn. The learner has to develop the ability is to recognize which
function is fulfilled by a sentence in a particular communicative situation.
At present the school curriculum follows communicative approach to language teaching. But
there is no valid result on the teaching and feed back of this approach. There it is important to
test whether communicative elements are taught or not. Thus the present study is undertaken in
order to find out the problems of learning English as a second language among the under
graduate students especially problems in CONCORD.
The learners have to be given special attention in these problematic areas so as to make them
overcome the problems faced by them.
