World English is broadly categorised into three varieties: English as a Native Language (ENL), English as a Second Language (ESL) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL).
India is considered as an ESL territory.Vasco da Gama’s discovery of the sea route to India also paved way for the introduction to English language.
The English spoken in India tends to be more British English than American English language but in many cases it is its own style.
The socio- historical stage for the introduction to English language in education was set by the end of the 18th century.English language training at that time was based on literature and grammar and the means of studies was the grammar-translation method and not the social English.
Social English is the language of everyday communication in oral and written forms.Uses of English language is much beyond our expectations.English language continues to be the tool for professional success.
Listening practice and English language activities are not evaluated although practiced during the classes.
