India there is a existence of many culture. This all culture have different languages. They using mother tongue for communication with each other. But to communicate with national and intranational people need of learning global language.
Learning another language makes one bigger , gives a wider vision , makes one aware of the subtleties that we don’t get in one language.
If wee see background of India and English language. Then there is very poor social background for it. Because English taught only as a subject in primary or secondary school level. Only as a means of subject rather then to taught student English as a language , its learning not even on large scale. So there is very complicated view of people about learn English language.
Students of the rural schools face a number of problems. English is their second language. Learning a second language means acquiring a system of rules, but just as a very little is known about these rules, even less is known about how such rule systems are acquired. Students find themselves unable to express in English. They have no idea of proper sentence structure. They do not know proper pronunciation, spellings and grammatical rules.
The sole objective of the teacher and the learner remain to clear the exams. The students never realize the importance of learning English as a language.
In graduation level , English as compulsory subject taught. Not aim of student and teacher to learn English as an important link language . there is no enough opportunities to learn English . because teacher are not so brilliant in English in some states, and have lack of basics knowledge of English language. So condition of English teacher in India should be developed . student are afraid
of English as very difficult language because they are unaware about the language.
English language public instruction began in India in the 1830s during the rules of East India company. In 1835, English replaced Persian as the official language of the Company. Lord Macaulay played a major role in introducing English and western concepts to education in India. He supported the replacement of Persian by English as the official language, the use of English as the medium of instruction in all schools, and the training of English-speaking Indians as teachers.
Since from independence , the need for English was realized in field of higher education and research .
English is used all over the world not out of any imposition but because of the realization that it has certain advantages. A very important reason for regarding English as a world language is that the world's knowledge is enshrined in English. It is a progressive language. It is dynamic and flexible. Over and above English is universally renowned for its power of expression and its rich literature.
The changing times have witnessed the growing importance of English language in all walks of life. It does not seem that non-native speakers or as a second language speakers. Conscious and unconscious use of the words in our everyday conversation from the English language bears evidence to this fact.
English as a global language , when people from different background meets , then for communicating need a knowledge of common language . English used as means of communication used in government , the media and educational system.it will connects us with world and prevents isolation. Is provides opportunities to get employment anywhere we want.
English is one of the most widely used international language. In India English language produced by bruisers , because they want clerk. By the time English spreads and nowadays become language of all trade , industry , information and knowledge.
English is richest in literature and widely used language. The spread of internet technology has networked the world and is like a global village for communicating. English used as first language , second language and as a foreign language. In India English taught as foreign or as second language. English as a second language functions primarily as an interstate or international link language.
