A Study of English Language Learning Difficulties among Higher Secondary Students in Eastern Rajasthan

Author(s) Komal Singh
Country India
Abstract English language proficiency is recognized globally as an essential prerequisite for higher education, career progression, and participation in the digital economy. Within the Indian educational framework, English functions as a foundational Second Language (L2), yet significant disparities persist in its acquisition between urban centers and rural or semi-urban regions. This study examines the multi-faceted challenges encountered by higher secondary school students in Eastern Rajasthan, with a particular focus on the Karauli district.
Drawing on contemporary Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories and a mixed-methods empirical approach involving student questionnaires, diagnostic tests, structured classroom observations, and interviews, this research isolates the variables underlying deficits in listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills (LSRW). The empirical corpus demonstrates that acute mother tongue interference (L1 transfer from Hindi and local dialects), restrictive socio-economic backgrounds, teacher-centered examination-focused pedagogy, severe vocabulary limitations, and an absolute lack of a target language ecosystem collectively impede communicative competence.
By analyzing these local findings against macroeconomic educational policies and empirical advancements up to 2018, this paper contextualizes the regional obstacles within broader systemic deficiencies. Finally, actionable pedagogical shifts are articulated, calling for the implementation of learner-centered communicative practices, automated and technology-mediated corrective feedback, early immersive listening intervention, and structural overhauls of examination patterns to prioritize pragmatic language mastery over rote memorization.
