REVISITING LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS IN CHHATTISGARH’S ENGINEERING COLLEGES: A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE

Аннотация

The role of language education in engineering colleges has gained significant importance as it directly influences students' academic success and professional communication skills. In Chhattisgarh, engineering institutions are increasingly focusing on integrating language teaching into their curricula, recognizing its crucial role in enhancing students’ overall competencies. However, the methods used to teach languages in these institutions have often been criticized for being outdated or insufficiently aligned with the needs of engineering students. This paper aims to critically revisit the current language teaching methods employed in engineering colleges of Chhattisgarh, identifying the strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. By reviewing existing teaching practices, curriculum design, and student feedback, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in language education for engineering students. The findings emphasize the importance of adopting more communicative and context-based language learning strategies that cater to the technical and professional requirements of engineering students, ensuring their preparedness for globalized work environments. This paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing language teaching methodologies, including the incorporation of modern technologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and more practical, real-world communication exercises. ‎
