Discuss the problems faced by underprivileged in learning English and ways in which they can be helped to overcome this difficulty.

Problems Faced by Underprivileged Learners in Learning English

Fear of English as a subject of study

English by its very nature is very different from the Indian languages. For instance, English does not have one letter-one sound correspondence and spelling and sounds do not always follow a uniform pattern. Moreover, the syntax of English is different from the Indian languages. In English the verb occupies the medial position—Rita plays football; in most Indian languages the verb comes at the end—Rita football khelti hai. These two characteristics of the English language make learning complicated and difficult for the underprivileged learners. In addition, English is associated with the elite culture and this creates a sense of awe and fear amongst the underprivileged learners. Textbooks in English contains material which does not belong to the Indian milieu and is alien to the underprivileged learner who has to grapple not only with the language but with concepts as well. As we have said earlier, the textbook has no representation of their lives and culture which further alienates them.

Language load and poor reading skills

Often the underprivileged learners speak a non-standard variety of language or dialect. They already feel the load of learning to read in the standard language which is often the regional language. In addition, they have to grapple with English which is very different from the languages they know. This pressure of languages on the underprivileged learners creates fear, gaps in learning and alienation due to which they lose all interest and motivation. In addition, because of their inadequate exposure to languages and texts in their childhood these learners develop poor literacy skills. As a result, they are unable to use the knowledge resources which are part of emergent literacy. In brief, they are unable to read a lot of material which is available in English and much of this material may be essential for day-to-day survival.
