Language is the vehicle of social interaction and effective language functions properly in the work place, social interaction, and indeed, for functional literacy. English as a medium to communicate undoubtedly plays a major role in various aspects of development. Nevertheless, the importance of English should not be exaggerated nor the importance of other languages should be undervalued.

English empowers both the young and the adults and its application seems an unavoidable reality right from the kitchen’s oven to military sirens. Moreover, effective English Communication skills provide better job opportunities. With the speedy wings of technology, the scenario in the job market has become more lucrative. The use of English in polishing our life-styles and also in imitating decencies in terms of human behavior is a fact not to be forgotten. It has become a language of communication and does not seem to be a liability in our everyday life. But to say that it has attained a hundred percent familiarity is not true. There are still many districts in India where despite the expansion of modern amenities of life, English seems to be revered as a very prestigious language and its users a facilitated lot. The reasons for the slow pace of its spread are varied. A major chunk of population has started realizing the need of subtle nuances of using English more as a skill than merely as a subject. The significance of this study is to confront that gap, which is widening. Its importance can easily be understood when one goes through particular terms like ELT, EFL, ESL, TESOL, etc. which deal with the study of English language as per requirement for specific purposes and situations.
