Learning and Teaching of Communicative Skills

Focusing on the intersection of language and culture, this book highlights the importance of understanding both linguistic and social norms in teaching English as a Second Language. It argues that neglecting these aspects undermines effective language education. The text emphasizes English's role as a vital tool for educational, economic, and national development, particularly in the context of India, where it serves as the official language for administration and commerce. The need for enhancing spoken and written English among school children is a central theme.
