Even though, Hindi is considered as our national language, English language has come up as a connecting link among the people of various states of India. It is essential to study English language in this age of globalization. The common practice all over the world in the modern age is to learn English language to facilitate easy understanding of political, social, cultural and religious issues because it is easier than French, German, Greek and Sanskrit. It has emerged as the most important language of world. English is the language of the British and it is wrong view to hold that it is a language of that country alone. English has evolved to be a language of science and technology. Majority of books for higher studies are written in English. The Indians must not keep their eyes closed in this adventurous period of globalization. India in process of becoming a developed country has to develop the citizens capable of contributing for the development of the nation. It is impossible to educate the citizens of a nation with a foreign language. But curriculum developers can design such textbooks to give good command over English language upto coming generation.
