Revamping English Learning in Educational Institutions

Revamping English Learning in Educational Institutions

Educational institutions must adopt a more student-centric approach to improve English learning by moving away from traditional teaching methods.

Language education differs significantly from teaching subjects like Mathematics or Physics, yet current practices often fail to reflect this distinction. While syllabi outline ambitious goals such as fluency and autonomy in language use, the reality often falls short, particularly at the school level. Foundational skills are imparted at lower levels, but higher levels often see a repetition of these basics rather than progression. This raises questions about the effectiveness of current teaching methods and the stifling of cognitive development through over-reliance on teacher-led instructions.
