Abstract
Language learning has come a long way in the
last couple of decades. There is an increasingly
common understanding in academia that a new
language cannot be mastered unless it is
acquired. Rote learning methods which were
part of early school learning are now becoming
obsolete. In the present scenario, the task/role
of a language teacher is to present the target
language to the learnerin a way so as to so as
to engage her/him in learning. Language
learning is a continuous process and it cannot
be fixed in a time frame. In fact, to learn a
language in a limited time frame is not possible.
So a teacher ’s role is to develop an
understanding, a flavour for the language. The
book English Language and Learning by
Skyler Hopkins addresses this issue quite
technically.
