Teachers of English Facing Challenges in India

Abstract

There is a well-settled principle that what is relevant today may not be equally true tomorrow. Language teaching is also not an exception. The teachers of English cannot follow or adopt all the methods and approaches as were practiced by their predecessors. Change is the salt of life. When the profile of students is no longer the same, the teachers also cannot remain the same. English is the second language in India both for teachers and students. At present challenges before teachers of English include putting their learning into practice in day-to-day life to fulfill their practical demands through effective communication skills apart from gaining command over the English language.
