Be Pragmatic, don�t be Idealistic

Dr. Chetan Mewada

Abstract :

In this paper, I would like to identify and discuss an approach that may provide a practical approach to teach English language in the Indian multilingual educational context. The issue touched upon here concerning with teaching and learning English language could be applicable at the any stage of life. My views, opinions and suggestions put forward in the following paragraphs are based on my observations as a teacher of English and Communication at undergraduate level and professional courses. I would like to draw the conclusion that the simplest approach to teach English language to Indian learners is to follow a pragmatic approach in teaching rather than being too much idealistic to get the best results.
