Beyond Grammar: Learning English as a Language - Article Summary - The Hindu - Education Plus Supplement - 28-9-26
The article argues that English teaching should move beyond memorising grammar rules and terminology. Knowing grammar does not automatically make students effective communicators. Instead, learners need opportunities to listen, speak, read and write English in meaningful contexts. The author highlights the importance of interesting reading, real-world communication and meaningful exposure to English, drawing on Stephen Krashen’s ideas about language acquisition. Grammar should support communication rather than become an end in itself. In the Indian context, English should be treated not merely as a subject to study, but as a language to acquire and use.
