OBJECTIVES OF THE LESSON
English, in India, is mainly taught
as a second language. Hence, the aim of this unit is to familiarise the students with the importance
of learning English as a second language. Also, this unit focuses on establishing English as a
world, official, link and library language. Psychology
and linguistics play a major role in
language acquisition. As this is so, this unit enables the learners to realise the contribution of
Psychology and Linguistics in language learning and exposes the interference of Mother Tongue in
learning English as a second language.
ROLE OF ENGLISH IN THE PRESENT-DAY
INDIA
Language is an essential element in
the culture of any society. We live in a community and our living in a community is made meaningful
mainly by the language. In the words of Leonard
Bloomfield,
“Community is formed by the activity
of language, and speech utterances give us the most direct insight into its working”.
Language is a tool to understand and
appreciate the culture of a human society and we must learn its language to
understand it clearly. When English people started ruling India, it is not
clear whether they tried to Realize the importance of Indian languages as media
to learn and appreciate the Indian culture but they were very categorical that
Indians learn their language for other purpose. They had to spend a lot of
money on clerical work as they had to recruit clerks from Britain. So, Lord Macaulay thought to
teach English to Indian people mainly to produce cheap clerks. This is a kind
of outsourcing that English people applied even more than three hundred years
ago. Now, English has become a part and parcel of people of India. It has
become an indispensable language. India is a developing country. No progressive
country can ill afford to lose the utility of this world language.
English
played a very major role in our fight for freedom. As India is a land of many languages,
the unification of freedom fighters for national cause, seemed to be remote.
But again English only played the role of unifying the freedom fighters from
Kashmir to Kanyakumari. When we weigh the benefit between what English got from
India and what India got from English,
and it is strongly felt that India is benefited more from English. And it is
not an exaggeration to say India is found bondage to English
