Rationale:

With the increasing variety of options and opportunities emerging for Diploma students, fulfilling their communication needs become highly important. Proficiency in communication can equip them to be confident and to cope with the employment and educational situation in any part of the world. Communication levels inspire higher aspiratory levels in the process of upward mobility in career and socio-cultural evolution of the young individuals. At the end of the course the student should be able to express himself in oral and written communication effectively.

Specific Instructional Objectives:

All the four skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing – should be developed in the communication process for a polytechnic student who is at the intermediate level and transitional period from school to college.

Silent reading of the English text book acquaints him with the grammatical structures and the nuances of the language indirectly and also triggers reaction in the thinking process according to the student’s specific learning background. Loud reading equips the student with confidence and practice for oral communication. Both these should be given due importance in the class room situation.

Developing listening skills equip them with the necessary focus in understanding oral communication without difficulty to react and interact properly. Proper exposure in developing these two skills facilitates speaking and writing which are very essential in day to day interaction in any official, social or personal context. Matching to the entry level quality of the polytechnic student and his technical background, this text book is aimed at fulfilling the needs of all the four communication skills with suitable texts, language exercises and activities.

Grammar items prescribed in the syllabus are embedded in the prescribed texts to make the teaching learning process contextualised and activity based to ensure proper textual orientation. Exercises and group activities are given in the text itself for the students to get practiced.
