English Language Teaching (ELT) For Engineering Students - Review

Abstract

English is a symbol of people's aspirations for quality education and full participation in national and international life in India. The tangible impact of the presence of English is that it is now required from the earliest stages of schooling. The current English as a Second Language (ELT) in India is dynamic and has completely changed the educational paradigm. This article traces the trajectory of this change and compares it with other contexts where ELT was always the native language, investigates the evolution of English Language Teaching (ELT) in engineering education in India and to understand the various approaches and methodologies used in teaching English to Engineering students. The research will explore the historical background of ELT in Engineering education, the factors that have influenced its evolution, and the current state of ELT in this setting. It will also analyze the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers and students. The study will provide a deeper understanding of trends and advancements in ELT in engineering education in India, focusing on the evolution, challenges, and efforts to enhance English language skills.
