| Article Name : | | | RELEVANCE OF SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING-A CRITICAL STUDY ON ENGINEERING STUDENTS IN ENGINEERING COLLEGES OF TAMIL NADU | | Author Name : | | | B. Thenmalar Bharathi | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-4730 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Teaching of English in Tamilnadu at secondary and collegiate levels is to be revised forthwith for the sake of providing ample scope for self-education for engineering graduates. Self-direction in learning English is to be the way for the students for achieving self-education. As a result of it, they will be turned as the users of English rather than languishing as learners of English as ever before. This paper throws light on how the Macaulay Model of teaching English is to blame for this kind of academic lacunathat is haunting the supply chain of educational devices for educating the students in terms of their acquiring the working knowledge of English on their own.This will be consistent with the modern educational approach of making the teaching of English as learner-centred and not teacher-centred. It logically follows that the learner student will have to have academic autonomy mostly in terms of self-direction. | | Keywords : | | |
