The experience of teaching/learning English in India, a veritable crucible of several sub-cultures, manifests in a way the global situation. Here, English is no longer treated as a foreign language. It has long back ceased to be the lingua franca. In fact, it is one of Indian languages where people from different parts of the land exchange views, news in their own way. Tolerance for many varieties of Indian Englishes is so conspicuous, ‘Indian English’ doesn’t sound strange any more to anyone.
It is imperative that language teachers should realize that their goal is not teaching English literature but teaching a language. By reading a piece of literature learners can understand the diverse use of words, phrases, phrasal verbs, multiple meanings, idioms, etc. They learn how to use familiar words in new contexts with new meanings. Use of technology offers added advantage. Communicative competence, though an objective, empowers one in the changed context.
Changing socio-cultural scenario resulted in systematic revamping of syllabi, tools and methods in pedagogy. The language is ever evolving and unique in offering a sense of security and supremacy, as the users discarded earlier feelings of inadequacy and inertia. Impact of media is perceptible in emergence of new Englishes as everywhere.English is the best means for international / intercultural communication.This book offers 25 research papers on diverse aspects of English language usage and pedagogy.It is hoped that this book gets patronage of lovers, learners and teachers of English.
