Vol. 4 Issue 35 – Research Paper: ‘Difficulties Faced by Polytechnic English Teachers in Teaching Technical English in Gujarat’ by Yatharth N. Vaidya

The primary aim of establishment of polytechnics inIndiais to produce technicians. Students who are admitted in polytechnics are expected to develop practical skills that are required by the industry. English being a universal language, communicating fluently in English has become essential for every one who wishes to communicate well in the academic or professional spheres. Even though the majority of tasks performed by an engineer or technician are of technical in nature, their success to a great extent depends on the effectiveness with which they assimilate or disseminate technical or formal information.
