Abstract

A close study of ELT practices in Maharashtra reveals a lack of proper learner needs analysis, no technology integration, outdated curriculum and study materials, and inadequate exposure to the target language, leading to the failure of Indian ELT. Consequently, there is an urgent need to revisit traditional teaching methods and integrate technology to address English learners’ psycholinguistic needs.
