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.
