Volume : III, Issue : I, February - 2013 FYBA OPTIONAL ENGLISH SYLLABUS: SOME SUGGESTIONS HEMANT J. CHAVAN Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : This article is on some suggestions on FYBA Additional or Optional English
syllabus.
By the time students pass Class XII, they are supposed to have mastered
structures and essential words. When they select Optional English, they need not be
taught grammar for communication. Communication in good English need not be a
problem at this level. We should teach them something new. What is this something new?
In case of Additional/Optional English, the term 'something new' is related to literature.
What then should be the aim of literature? To improve English through literature. What
kind of literature? Since it is students' entrance into special class, they should be exposed
to Indian English writing. We may take a survey of Indian English literature from the
mid-19th century. It should be taken with three representative books. These books should
be—one collection of poems, one play and one novel. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : HEMANT J. CHAVAN, (2013). FYBA OPTIONAL ENGLISH SYLLABUS: SOME SUGGESTIONS.
