Professional courses such as Engineering, and Management Studies have been very popular in India today. Getting employment is a prime aim of opting for such courses. However, surveys conclude that students pursuing engineering education even in tier-1 institutes are facing a huge skill gap to meet industry requirements. One such major skill gap commonly found among them is the English language and communication in it. Though the English language has been taught by English teachers in school, students still find it difficult to use it effectively for communication. Therefore, the role of the English Language Teacher is very important in finding out the problems and providing solutions to overcome these challenges, thereby making students effective communicators in their professional life. The present paper focuses on the role of language teachers to enhance the communication skills of engineering students in the English language.
