Paper Title
THE QUESTION OF RELEVANCE: ELT SYLLABI IN INDIAN UNIVERSITIES AND PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS OF LEARNERS
Authors
Dr. M. Rameshwor Singh

Language proficiency, Syllabic contents, Requirements of learners, question of relevance
Abstract
Although having its root on a foreign soil, English is now as much an Indian language as any other. It occupies the position of an associate official language. It has been taught in our schools and colleges for many decades. As an ideal, a course in English language and literature is supposed to have concentrated on improving the language proficiency and literary competence of learners. But the present system trains the learners only in mastering the literary content of the syllabus. The teaching/learning of English remains in the country an activity, questionable in its relevance. This lacuna can be attributed to a number of factors like the lack of motivation on the part of the students due to various reasons such as lack of awareness regarding the importance and scope of English language, faculty teaching techniques and stereotype kind of syllabi which may not cater the needs of the students. This paper attempts to highlight what is wrong in the syllabic contents prescribed in most of the universities in India if we assess it on the parameters of its relevance vis-a-vis the proficiency requirements of the learners.
