Summary
"This book situates the teaching and learning of language in general, and English in particular, within the socio-cultural context of India.

It examines the importance of adopting flexible pedagogical and multimodal strategies in teaching vocabulary, grammar, literary genres like fiction, poetry and drama, rhetorical discourses, and communicative English to learners for whom English is not one of their home language(s).
