The language is used not only for communication among people but also it is the medium of knowledge, science and technology. Hence the mastery over the language is very important for the people of India where English is again considered the second official language. For an average Indian student learning English is always a herculean task. In the state of Kerala, English is taught as a second language at school level-from class one to class twelve. At college first two years of most UG programmes, it is taught as compulsory common course. In spite of the twelve years of learning English at school students find it difficult to use the language with all confidence. The paper entitled “A Gender perspective on Learning English as a Second Language” is an attempt to locate the problems the girl students face, analyze them and find out remedial measures. The study focuses on the gender aspects related to the learning of a girl student. It analyses the problems of undergraduate women students' from the Other Backward Class in learning English as a second language regarding the sociological as well as psychological aspects. Moreover, the study is based on the undergraduate women students' in three districts of Kerala- Wayanad, Kozhikode and Malappuram. | | Keywords : | | |
