The book introduces some of the major areas that students and teachers of English in India should understand in order to follow a scientific approach. The suggestions made in the studies and the pedagogical implications should be of much help to them. The book covers many topics that find place in the syllabi of universities. The author has discussed, in particular, some important aspects of Indian English.
The materials in this field are often presented in a form and language highly specialised. The present book, however, is a collection of simplistic studies and, as a book of this kind is difficult to find, it is useful in its own way.
