Vol. 4 Issue 45 – Conference: International Conference on Empowering the English Language Classroom, January 18-19, Jaipur, India

English Language Teaching poses many challenges to the language teacher. The diversity of the students’ socio-cultural background, motivation and interest, multiple intelligences and learning styles, differing personalities and behaviour patterns, makes the language teaching task a particularly intricate one. The interests of individual learners vary: they are motivated to learn English to meet their academic, professional or personal needs and may want to focus exclusively on developing a proficiency in writing or a fluency in speech. In order to meet the needs and requirements of individual learners, language teachers need to choose between prescribed language teaching methods and alternative methods keeping in view the wider sociocultural context in which the instruction takes place. In the modern technological age, the transformation in the teaching methodology with the adoption of online teaching resources and multimedia in the language classroom has led to the need for more careful planning and preparation on the part of the teacher. Combined with these are the academic guidelines which specify the expected level of language proficiency of students after they have taken a particular English language course, the integration of the role of English as both a social skill and as a professional requirement, and the pressure on the learner to develop all four language skills simultaneously. This conference aims to focus on the emerging trends and methodologies in English language teaching which can empower the language class room and enable the learner to use English adeptly and effectively.
