Activity Based Learning for the Effectiveness in L2 Learning to Enhance Speaking Skills of the Students

The current paper displays the failure of traditional methods used in the English language classrooms
which are purely teacher-centred and do not allow the students to be competent in English. It is
because, in the teacher-centred classrooms, the students remain as mute spectators. They cannot be
communicative in the classroom. Indeed, this condition has to be reconstructed and lifted through
various teaching strategies. Learner-centred classroom has to be adopted for the efficient and
effective communication of the students. This paper tries to convey the factors associated with the
environment of English language teaching situation in higher secondary schools. The education policy
has been developed among the schools but the teaching and learning strategies remain the same in
typical classroom teaching. The eminence of language education in schools and colleges in the
current era shows a dreadful picture. The proficiency of the teachers in English language and the
exposure to the materials and language are the main concern in English language learning as well as
teaching. This article uncovers the utility of executing the methodology of language teaching through
various tasks or activities for the higher secondary and higher education students in the classroom.
This paper analyses the concept in regard to the English language learners in transition with
reference to the activity based language teaching in the classroom environment.
