Teaching English as a Foreign Language

English is gaining importance day by day and without proficiency in this language it would be difficult to progress in the world of globalisation and information technology. That bookwish knowledge will not be sufficient was proved by the recent decision of the United States government to test people trying for visas for entry into the USA for their proficiency in spoken English. This is a clear indication that the available mass of English-knowing persons is not enough to meet the growing international and national demand and that teachers would be required to teach English well and with efficiency. It is for such teachers that this book has been designed. It explained the various techniques of teaching English to students whose mother tongue is some other language, and for whom, for all practical purposes, English is a foreign language. All those associated with the teaching of English at any level, primary, secondary, high school, graduate or post-graduate, and also those responsible for administering education will find this book of invaluable help in not only developing their own professional standards to a high level but also produce students whose knowledge of English will be an asset in their search for stability and livelihood.
