MESSAGE
I deem it a great privilege and pleasure to view that PG & Research Department of English has
organized a One – day International Conference on “ Current Trends in ELT: A Global Perspective”.
Globalization has brought tremendous changes in economic, political, cultural, social and
educational spheres. English as a global language reflects these changes. To make the Learners well
versed in English language, new strategies must be formulated with a global perspective. Also Higher
Education system placed in the vortex of global challenges has to renew itself. I have great conviction
that this conference on “Current Trends in ELT: A Global Perspective” would realize its goal to prevail
over the pitfalls and pave way for perfect means to promote language learning.
I appreciate the initiative taken by the Department of English to make the academic community
professionally competent and face the challenges in the higher education system with confidence. I
also wholeheartedly congratulate the staff and students for their successful accomplishment.
I wish the conference an ostentatious success!

It gives me immense pleasure to note that the PG & Research Department of English,
Government Arts College (A), Salem -07 is conducting a one-day International Conference on Current
Trends in ELT : A Global Perspective on 28th July, 2017. Undoubtedly, English Language is a powerful
medium in Educational life-enhancing perspectives and is gaining Universal momentum and relevance.
It is also another milestone in improving the quality of education by questioning the existing
system and in the long run, ELT equips the current learners of literature with life-enhancing
perspectives, to enhance their expertise on the effective English Language Teaching techniques. I am
sure this one-day International Conference will strive to find out the mechanism to achieve this in a
better and comfortable way.
I express my warm greetings to all the members of the Department of English for having

I'd like to congratulate the Principal, Head of the P.G and Research Department of English and the
learned Professors of English, Govt Arts College, Salem – 7 for organizing an International Conference on
Current Trends In ELT: A Global Perspective.
In the developing world of the new millennium, none can deny that English is used worldwide for the
purpose of communication. English language is multifarious – Literary English, Business English, Butler English,
Social Media English etc etc. To make English Language Teaching more attractive, the teachers of English
should understand the concept of “Different strokes for different folks”. They should rightly assess the level of
their students and decide on how and in which way the instruction is to be given. Today, there is no systematic
plan to develop spoken English skills. In this context, I am glad to note that the aim of the conference is not
simply discussing the age - old theories of English Language Teaching, but also analyzing the modern
techniques and approaches in teaching English.
It is beyond doubt that the sincere efforts of the Executive Committee, the Peer Review ommittee and
the Organizing Committee will make the One Day International conference a grand success.
May the Goddess Saraswathi and Minerva bless the English Faculty of Govt Arts College, Salem – 7
and the participants from different parts of India and other countries.
With best wishes!

Salem – 636 016.
English is pre-eminently the language of opportunity and success. Competence in it becomes
a passport for the entry into the most coveted jobs and careers at home and abroad. But when it comes
to question of teaching English as a language, it should be realized that there can be no rule of thumb
method slavishly adhered to in the teaching of it and the best method is that which adopts the best
means to the required end. Otherwise the teacher will be like a sailor who does not know his
destination and his pupil will be like a rudderless vessel which may be drifted along anywhere ashore.
Hope this International Conference on ' Current Trends in ELT : A Global Perspective' will cater to the
needs of the English language teaching practitioners to arrive at the best method to teach English most
effectively.
The Department of English, Government Arts College, Salem – 7, has grown to enviable
dimension by its relentless efforts to achieve excellence and acquire the potential to reach greater and
greater heights. I congratulate the entire team.
I wish the Conference all success and convey my heartfelt thanks to the organizers for having given me
the privilege of offering felicitations on this memorable occasion.
