Abstract

This study addresses the difficulties encountered by B.E./B.Tech first-year students of the 2019 cohort in enhancing their communication skills. It is also common knowledge that pupils from rural areas struggle to learn and speak English. Teaching both technical and conversational English is essential for engineers in the current environment. Teaching English to engineering students is a subfield that focuses on the development of communicative ability for business settings, sometimes known as target scenarios or situated business contexts. In a global context, effective communication skills in English are crucial for engineers. For this reason, teachers must choose appropriate language materials and employ them strategically to achieve a certain communication objective.
