Introduction: The course is designed to train students in receptive (listening and reading) as well as productive and interactive (speaking and writing) skills by incorporating a comprehensive, coherent and integrated approach that improves the learners’ ability to effectively use English language in academic/ workplace contexts. The shift is from learning about the language to using the language. On successful completion of the compulsory English language course/s in B.Tech., learners would be confident of appearing for international language qualification/proficiency tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, or BEC, besides being able to express themselves clearly in speech and competently handle the writing tasks and verbal ability component of campus placement tests. Activity based teaching-learning methods would be adopted to ensure that learners would engage in actual use of language both in the classroom and laboratory sessions.

OBJECTIVES:

• Facilitate effective listening skills for better comprehension of academic lectures and English spoken by native speakers
• Focus on appropriate reading strategies for comprehension of various academic texts and authentic materials
• Help improve speaking skills through participation in activities such as role plays, discussions and structured talks/oral presentations
• Impart effective strategies for good writing and demonstrate the same in summarizing, writing well organized essays, record and report useful information
• Provide knowledge of grammatical structures and vocabulary and encourage their appropriate use in speech and writing
