ABL METHODOLOGY of learning English at primary school level in rural area –A STUDY
English is not our native language. Though it is a foreign language English rules the world. From the dawn to the setting of the sun, British Empire, the British Crown ruled the entire world through English. So English became the tool for communication throughout the entire common wealth countries. Though the countries under the British crown have attained freedom its supremacy is still felt in every aspect of the countries’ literature, art, science, technology, legislature, education, entertainment, education and what not. Though decades have gone since British left India the impact of English language in our system has not diminished on the contrary it is on the upward swing.
Why is it happening? Why this foreign language is taught in our schools as second language?
Foremost of all it is a growing language. Year after year its quantitatively rich vocabulary is made still richer by newly coined words and words are invented as a result of booming technology.
Needless to say it is also an adulterated language. It doesn’t feel undignified in borrowing and robbing vocabulary of other languages.

English deprived of words of other classical languages like Latin, French, and Italian would cut a sorry figure.
This very nature of borrowing words from other languages hasn’t made it a handicap. But on the contrary it is making it grow stronger and stronger day by day. It has the power to assimilate other language into its own and give it an

    There is no mystery about the root cause of the linguistic holocaust that we’re living through. Take a holiday anywhere in the world. Your airline pilot will, as you listen to the safety instructions (in English), be communicating with ground control in English. Signs in the airport, whatever country you are in, will be duplicated in one of the world’s top twenty languages – most likely English. You’ll see Coca-Cola logos. MTV will be playing on the screen. Muzak will be crooning Anglo-American lyrics as you walk through the concourse to baggage reclaim. At the hotel, the desk clerk will speak your language, as well, probably, as the bellhop. (His tip depends on being polygot.) Go to any internet café and the keyboard code that will get you best results is what you are reading now: English – the lingua franca of our time. . . . The spread of English is the product of naked linguistic superpower.…

    A culture’s language is their inherent connection to their roots and ties us to our ancestors and familial lands. Oftentimes, language is the only physical remnant that a culture has to represent its past. “Language then may indeed be the most explosive issue universally. This mainly because language alone, unlike all other concerns assosicated with nationalism and ethnocentrism, is so closely tied to the individual self” (Ginnsburgh, 2011,…

After reading the English Effect report by the British council written by Howson (2013) it can be estimated that approximately 1.75 billion people use English worldwide, in other words, approximately one in four people speak English at a “useful level”. The main people who are learning and speaking English are “the economically active, the thought leaders, the business decision-makers, the young, the movers and shakers present and future” (Howson, 2013). There are more non-native speakers of English than there are native speakers therefore it can be said that English…

    With the accelerated progress of globalization and civilization, language death today has become an undeniable and undisputed phenomenon as languages have been disappearing in an increasing rate (Guilherme 2013). Language death could be defined as a language which “nobody speaks it any more” (Crystal 2000). According to Colls (2009), the size of language pool is over 7000, but by end of this century, it is estimated that 90% of those languages “would have ceased to exist”. The major factors which directly pose the increase of endangered languages are various, ranging from natural disasters, cultural homogenization and assimilation, policies made by governments (Hetrick 2014) and influence of dominate and mainstream culture (Crystal 1999). Within the discussion of the importance and significance of languages, now there are two perspectives toward language death. The first one, based on the belief of the ancient traditions and Biblical stories of Babel that the proliferation of languages are penalty to human beings, is that the less languages in the world the better for mankind (Crystal 2000). However, the second perspective, which is more reasonable and convincing, is that language death is a serious and urgent problem that people needs to be consider and take action to save dying languages because different and various languages in human society represent indispensable cultural diversity, irreplaceable expression of identity and precious repository of history and human knowledge (Crystal 2000).…
