There has been growing discontent over the English language competency of graduates in the past few years. Many surveys conducted by various agencies have reaffirmed the fact that Indian graduates lack good communication skills in English. In a globalized tech-dependent world today, English language proficiency has become mandatory to attain success in any field. There were questions about the reasons for the lack of English proficiency of Indian graduates inspite of their English education both in school and college. This research study attempted to explore how English is taught in schools and the various factors that impact the teaching-learning process in schools.
