Abstract

English is a West Germanic Language which originated mainly in England. It is
considered to be the first language for most of the people in Australia, Canada, Ireland,
New Zealand and the United States of America. It is also used as a second language and
as an official language throughout the world. English as an international language is used
in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. A
working knowledge of English is required in most of the fields, professions and
occupations. As a result of this, over a billion people speak English.
In India, English is considered to be the second language and it is made
compulsory to teach English even at the primary level, so that the students could gain the
knowledge of English even in their primary studies. English has developed from a
synthetic language with all sorts of inflections into an analytic language. Today English
has become the fabric of India’s culture. English exercises a great influence on the
educated people of the country. It continues to be the medium of instruction in technical,
medical, law and other institutions. The compulsions of learning English are no longer
merely political but scientific and technological.
