Abstract

This paper presents various definitions of methods and ways of English communication. The general purpose of our study is to highlight the methods of English communication over generations and centuries. We will be analysing the various communication methods which have prevailed in the society, including the pros and cons of the methods used. We will make a comparative study of the methods used during the medieval times to the ones made in the modern society, the modifications that prevailed in the methods with time. In this paper, we will primarily emphasis on three factors. Firstly, we will thoroughly describe and define the methods and focus on the growth and build up on English language as a whole. Secondly, we discuss the various methods used for English communication during different historic time zones or the particular teaching methods prevalent during particular regimes of different English rulers. Thirdly, we will be comparing the methods used between then and now, whether our methods excel from the ‘then methods’ or not. With time the theories and methods of communication are constantly improving. Recent trends, methodologies and developments play a vital role for the education sector in general with internalization of education process. This education process and ways pertaining to English language in particular is what our paper looks to emphasize on. Generally, each method or approach has its own merits and demerits in their practicability and adaptability in real classroom situations. Some of the common methods used are drills, dialogues, role plays, sentence completion, etc. Also there are methods like the oral approach, situation approach, audio-lingual approach which are language communication techniques. Following are the four necessary requirements of a method-selection, gradation, technique, and practise. We will discuss further ahead in the paper. With technology and advancement of science the methods and approaches of communication have been modified. With time we need to adjust to these changes to come out stronger in this world of fighting foes. We conclude by drawing English literature over centuries and new trends in foreign language teaching inspired by English literature.
