Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">Most of the Regional Medium students are not being selected for Multi-National Companies as they do not have competent skills as English medium students have. It is a known fact that the betterment of any second Language depends on the quality amount of time that we spend with the language. Regional Medium Engineering Students had a time (on an average 300 to 500 hrs.) to learn English in their schooling whereas English Medium students might have done (14000 hrs. in all streams in English); Regional Medium students cannot perform well in the classrooms as well as in the interviews with equaling the English Medium students. There are many imbalances in language teaching as the technical classrooms are heterogeneous in India, reading a loud can be the best solution to improve pronunciation of Regional Medium Students. These students are not bad at mastering the vocabulary, but acceptable enunciation is the big hurdle to them. The problem of poor enunciation can be rectified by reading it aloud. This paper is all about the how important of reading aloud for regional medium students for the betterment of their spoken skills.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
