     1.1  INTRODUCTION 
     Language is nothing but a source of communication, a medium of conveying our 
     ideas to one another. Language is a set of human habits, the purpose of which is 
     to  give  expression  to  thoughts  and  feelings.  In  this  era  of  globalization, 
     Information  and  Communication  Technology,  English  has  a  special  and 
     predominant role in the communicative sphere of the world. It has a special 
     identity in the field of education. While teaching, a teacher has to keep in mind

            the aims and objectives of the subject. Teaching requires certain directions, after 
            all success of teaching depends upon its aims and objectives. 
            In  Teaching of English, P.C. Wren writes (2015), “In the teaching of class 
            subjects, the actual work of mind training is being performed. In the early lessons 
            of English, the weapons are being forged, the tools are being made with which 
            the work of mind training is to be performed.” 
            Language comes through discovery. In Language Teaching, this refers to the 
            mode or manner in which language is used. Language has been considered man’s 
            most remarkable achievement. It is the essential research resource for language 
            professionals providing a rich and expert overview of research in the field of 
            second language teaching and learning. Therefore, present unit will through light 
            upon different principles of teaching English in school curriculum. 
            1.2  OBJECTIVES

            1.3  NATURE OF LANGUAGE 
            Language is the most important phenomenon in the world. From birth to death, 
            all our activities are regulated by language. The human knowledge and culture is

    stored and transmitted in language. Thinking is only possible through language. 
    In our dreams, we make use of language. Language dominates every aspect of 
    human life. In fact, it is a yardstick to separate us from other beings. Language 
    is a mean of communication. With the help of language, we can express our 
    thoughts  and  feelings  to  others.  Without  language,  society  would  be 
    impossible. Language is an exemplary artifact that swept across the globe to 
    witness development of society in terms of civilization, culture and technology. 
    Language entangles the apprehensions of communication and commemorated 
    links amongst people of different groups, places and ages by filling gaps. The 
    language as a part of mother tongue spoken in a particular area and a particular 
    community might not a difficult task to learn, to understand and to interpret. 
    Mother tongue is not an obligatory issue to acquire. It is an acquisition since the 
    entire system supports as an individual grows. 
    1.3.1   Functions of language 
    Language serves many functions which enhances the communication process. It 
    conveys  meanings,  intentions,motives,  feelings  and  beliefs.  Language  is 
    symbolic, in that speech sounds and utterances stand for or represent various 
    objects, ideas and events. It is means of social contact and is the only means to 
    prevent isolation from the world. Language is primarily vocal made up of vocal 
    sounds only, produced by a physiological articulatory mechanism in the human 
    body.  A  child  learns  to  speak  first;  writing  comes  much  later,  also  during 
    lifetime, a man speaks much more than he writes. Language is a form of social 
    behavior, a child learns to speak the language of the community in which he or 
    she is placed, he or she picks up the language of the social set-up in he or she 
    grows up. 
    Following functions of language are as follows- 
    1.       Language is learnt: Learning of language is not an automatic process. 
    Of course, it is a behavior but it is not type of behavior like walking and crawling 
    that comes to child in natural way. Language by imitation and practice. Language 
    is not possible without effort.

           2.      Language is related to the culture of society: Every language is 
           related  to  culture  of  society  to  which  it  belongs.  The  culture  of  the  people 
           naturally influences the language. Every language is the product of society. We 
           cannot separate language from the culture in which that language exists. It has 
           meaning only in relation to that society and culture. 
           3.       Language  is  species  specific: Language is species specific. Only 
           human beings have got the gift of language. Of course, the other species do 
           communicate but only human beings can make use of language. 
           4.      Language is species uniformed: Language is species uniformed. All 
           human children  are  capable  of  acquiring  any  language  natively  if  they  are 
           provided the right kind of environment. 
           5.      Language is a system: Each language is a unique system. The system 
           of language consists of sounds, structures and vocabulary. A person who wants 
           to learn a new language will have to learn new sounds, new structures and new 
           vocabulary. The sound system of language differs from language to language 
           depending upon the culture to which a language belongs. Each language has its 
           own system of vocabulary. Thus, each language is systematic. 
           6.       Language is a system of systems: Each language is a system of 
           systems.  There  are  phonological  and  grammatical  systems  in  all  languages. 
           There are several sub systems with in a language. The phonology of a language 
           forms its own system as the various sounds function in a systematic way. 
           7.      Language is a system of symbols: Each language works through 
           symbols. Different words used in a language are the symbols. They stand for 
           certain things. The language will function well if its symbols are known both to 
           the speaker and the person for whom they are being used. 
           For example, the world cup has three sounds (K, A, P) It is a symbol of English 
           because a meaning is attached to it. But if we take the same three sounds like, K, 
           A, P they do form cup, but that is not a symbol of English language as no meaning 
           is attached to it.
