Abstract

English has been widely accepted as lingua fauna of the world and its versatile use is seen in most of the human endeavours in the society. In India, a student with a firm command over English earns a wide scope to explore the world of opportunities and career enhancement in the professional world. 21st century is the century of cut-throat competition and it is seen all walks of life in the society, so if a student won't put the best to outperform in the desired fields and career goals, he would be alienated from the world and second language learning is one of the fields to be mastered in India subcontinent. At tertiary level students mostly concentrates on acquiring professional and technical skills. They put a lot of emphases to master them by scoring decent scores in the academic grade sheets, but tend to forget that academic score and skills are of no use if not properly communicated in the professional world and workspace without proper second language competence. This paper throws a light on all the issues which make language learning a secondary issue in career building at the tertiary level among students in India.
