NIVEDITHA CAROLINE LOBO

Abstract: Proficiency in the English language is emphasised in the modern world as it is considered an essential communication skill to help acquire jobs, promote business interests and so on. However, there are many hurdles in the path of acquisition of competency in the language especially among those who have studied throughout in vernacular medium. As a teacher of English in a rural government college in Dakshina Kannada district, the presenter has seen the hesitation, fear and lack of confidence that students experience when it comes to speaking in English, even among those who get very good marks in English in the University Exams. Over the years she has tried various strategies to help students conquer their fear with regard to speaking in English. This paper presents one such attempt made to help students speak the language by making use of R.K.Narayan’s ‘A Snake in The Grass’. In this experiment students were given a short story which they converted into a short play and enacted the play. The success of this attempt has prompted the presenter to use this method to improve proficiency in English Language among the students of the government College.
