Volume : II, Issue : X, November - 2012 THOUGHTS ON FIRST YEAR SYLLABUS OF COMPULSORY ENGLISH HEMANT J. CHAVAN Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The first year of college education is important in that it may give proper
direction to students. In respect of language learning, two facts are to be noted. Marathi
as L1 is learnt in informal situation. English as L2, on the contrary, is learnt in formal
classroom situation. Therefore, we have to be very careful about devising the strategy of
English teaching. While teaching English, the L1 acquisition process is to be taken into
consideration. The skills of LSRW are to be taught in that sequence right from Class I. To
do this, there should be an integrated course from Class I to PG.
However, if the school curriculum is not fulfilling its responsibility, a university
BOS cannot undertake the entire responsibility. We cannot deprive students of literature
or creativity only on the ground that they are poor in English. In spite of this, at the
college level, we can start with phonetics and phonology along with literature teaching.
This is conforming to the natural order of language learning. It is because it begins with
the spoken aspect. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : HEMANT J. CHAVAN, (2012). THOUGHTS ON FIRST YEAR SYLLABUS OF COMPULSORY ENGLISH. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
