FORWARD NOTE
PREFACE
Learning is enhanced when it is more like a team effort than a solo
race. Good learning, like good work, is collaborative and social, not
competitive and isolated. Working with others often increases involvement
in learning. Sharing one’s own ideas and responding to others’ reactions
improves thinking and deepens understanding. Learning and teaching
English Language is a major concern for many English teachers throughout
the world.
Language teaching helps to improve the knowledge of English in
many ways. Learners from rural areas face more difficulties than those from
urban areas during the process of language acquisition. In cities, mostly
parents are educated .So even domestic environment helps the students
from urban areas acquire the language quickly because there are more
chance s that the wards can speak in English other than their m other tongue
with their family members. But in rural parts of the country, students of
today mostly do not get chance s to either speak or read in English. Even in
classroom, teachers use vernacular language in order to help the students to
learn.
We, the English teachers are becoming more and more popular
amongst working adults, who often choose them in preference to English
classes offered by any institution organization. English in language of
business worldwide and many professional people are eager to improve
their business English. Nowadays, people not only need to know English,
but they need to develop a range of communicative language competences
in order to be able to perform their job-related tasks properly. They usually
link their English studies to their area of expertise and the attention becomes
more focused on language as a tool for communication rather than on
language knowledge as an end in itself. So, if one wants to provide them
with the service they need to get to know the organization that requests our
services, its culture, and its global situation. This book provides practical
help for the lovers of English language.
