A Study on the Challenges in English Language Teaching at the Secondary Level in Kerala
George Varghese
Abstract: An international language' is a logical requirement in an era of worldwide information sharing and commercial exchange. Today's world considers English as a global language because there has never been a language so widely spread or spoken by so many people as English. The importance of the English language in educational field is clear from the fact that many countries have made English as an official language. Consequently, the English language teaching (ELT) has become one of the major growth industries around the world in the recent years. All over the world today the study of English is part of the secondary education, and all over there is more failure than success in the learning of English. This failure is not confined to school children alone, but also dogs the efforts of adults who seek to make up for their own deficiencies through extra study later. The enormous waste of time, effort and money has naturally prompted inquiry into the challenges at the secondary level in Kerala.
