Teaching English as a second Language in India: Focus on Objectives Shivendra K. Verma


RESPECTED SIR,

Teaching English as a second Language in India: Focus on Objectives


Shivendra K. Verma

ABSTRACT:-


After highlighting certain the theoretical aspects of notion “Objectives  

oflanguag teaching”, We discus the functionally-determined 

sub-categorization of languages into First Language, Second Language, Third 

Language, Foreign Language, and Classical language. We then focus on the 

objectives of teaching English as a Second Language in India.

 The objective of language Teaching 


This range from the sociable use of phatic communion and a 

network of communicative uses to its use at the highest level of 

“cognition”, “catharsis”, and “self-expression”. Underlying 

these functions are two fundamental: helping children learn 

how ask questions, the most important intellectual ability man 

has yet developed, and helping children use this language 

effectively in different social networks.



Languages in a multilingual setting form a system-network. 

Each language in this network has a function- determined v

value contrastive to the function-determined values of the oher 

languages

Functionally-determined sub-categories:-


The objectives of teaching English as Second Language in India: -

1.) The ability to read easily, and with understanding books in English written within a prescribed range of vocabulary and sentence structure.

2.)The readiness to proceed, to a more advanced reading, that of reading unsimplified exts, articularly those bound up with personal studies and interest.

3.)The ability to understand a talk in English,on a subject of general experience and interest.

4.)The ability to write comprehensible in English,and without gross errors, on a familiar topic which leads itself to expression within the range of vocabulary and sentence structure that has been taught.

5.)The ability to carry on comprehensibly a conversation in English on a topic fully within the range both of their experience and interests and the range of active command postulated by the syllabus.
