Abstract

This article describes how English has spread and become a global language. It looks at the current status of English in India as a second language. Learner autonomy in the field of language learning was recently one of the most popular terms. Researchers have studied various aspects and proposals to teachers to promote self-sufficient learning in their classrooms and to assess their autonomy. Students with a specific cultural context will not be as ready as students of other cultures for learner autonomy. Cultural and educational contexts in teaching influence how the idea of learning autonomy is perceived by teachers and students and clearly these discrepancy in expectations affect how learning autonomy is encouraged. This article lists various phases of English learning, discusses languages and factors that affect second language learning. It also says that the interpretation of what a student wants to say or express is important to a language teacher. This understanding is the foundation on which a teacher can select an appropriate approach, method and technique for his or her students. The paper also discusses various problems faced in India by English teachers and learners. It also describes the need for a teacher to be resourceful and expert to respond to the serious situation and promote better achievement standards. As the understanding and awareness of learner autonomy shifts in terms of cultural contexts, the autonomy of various students and teachers around the world is important to be seen. The main purpose of this study was to study the four perceptions of Indian English second language (ESL) teacher / learner responsibilities in language learning in order to contribute from this point of view, and to gain an idea of how ESL students perceive concepts related to their independence in the Indian education context. The study aims at providing information about the literature involved.
