English Language Education in Transition: a Comparative Analysis of Old and New English Ncert Textbooks of Class 6th

Abstract English language education has been subjected to tremendous changes in Indian classrooms due to various factors such as social changes, policy reforms and pedagogical shifts. The present article undertakes a comparative analysis of the older and newer versions of English NCERT textbooks of class sixth, i.e., Honeysuckle and Poorvi, using Alan Cunningsworth’s evaluative framework as a lens. The comparative analysis revealed that the older textbooks leaned heavily on rote learning, traditional literary exposure, and teacher-centered instruction while the newer editions exhibit a deliberate move towards communicative competence, inclusivity, and learner autonomy.
