ATTITUDE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TOWARDS LEARNING ENGLISH

Acquiring English Language Skills has become a challenge for regional medium learners. A majority of the students lacks basic skills in English language. They are unable to read in English, if their teacher asks them to do so. They cannot understand if their teacher teaches them completely in English. The learners find it difficult if the lesson is taught without translating (explaining) the lesson in their regional language. Their understanding and comprehension levels are limited. This paper attempted to study the attitude of secondary school students of Hyderabad district in the state of Telangana in learning the English language. The study is based on the responses of the sample government secondary school students of Hyderabad district to a structured questionnaire.
