NAVIGATING THE ENGLISH COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES: A STUDY OF DIPLOMA STUDENTS IN CHHATTISGARH STATE
Abstract
Effective communication skills serve as the keystone of success in different realms of life. This is the key to success in the various aspects of life like personal, academic and professional contexts. Communication in the English Language has become one of the most common languages in this global era. This study discusses the challenges faced by diploma students in Chhattisgarh, ‘The Heart of India’, in developing their communication skills. Chhattisgarh is a state with different regional languages. Most of the students are mainly from rural areas and face many difficulties to express themselves conveniently or fluently and share their thoughts in a language that is not their first or mother language. This language barrier hampers students’ academic performance and limits the opportunities for professional growth.
This study is based on the various challenges faced by the diploma students of Chhattisgarh State. However, diploma students in Chhattisgarh meet specific barriers that hinder their proficiency skills in English communication. Students may feel hesitant to speak in English due to the fear of being judged or ridiculed. This inhibits their oral communication skills and prevents them from actively participating in discussions and presentations. Moreover, the lack of confidence and fear of making mistakes acts as a significant barrier to effective English communication. In the present paper, we will discuss addressing these challenges that are essential to implement comprehensive English language development programs in diploma institutions in Chhattisgarh.
