English language teachers in recent years show a new determination to trust their own resources, to assert their right to freedom of choice at the interface between theory and practice and to seek practical solutions to pedagogic problems without constantly looking over their shoulders for fear that the theories might not approve. By judging the articles in professional journals and the papers presented at conferences, more and more teachers are breaking away from their former dependence on strict theoretical methods and are increasingly making their own, more flexible decisions about what should be done in the classroom. Before devising their own means useful for teaching English language, teachers should have an idea of the ends of teaching English language especially as the second language. Now a day's, English has been gaining greater importance for global communication. It is no longer just a library language of opportunities. A fairly high degree of proficiency and excellent communication skills in English today enhance students employability substantially. The best graduates with good communication skills in English compete successfully in the job market. However unemployment is a reality for many due to poor communication skills in English. Thus the main interest in this paper is to give a bird's eye view of the prestige of English language as an international language and its role in enhancing employability all over the world in different fields which will be helpful to the teachers and the students as well in the teaching and the learning of English language in Indian context.
