Significance of English Language Communication Laboratory for Professional Students & the Effective Role of a Language Teacher

Abstract

With technology bringing us closer and English becoming a global language, proficiency in English is considered essential for a person's personal and professional growth. Today, it is effective communication in English that fetches students their dream jobs; helps a professional surge ahead of others; keeps afloat a multi-national organization; elevates a common mortal to the dizzy heights of achievements; and in a way, defines and redefines our existence in this competitive world. Thus, it is expected from everyone, especially the professional students to have effective communication skills not just because of decisive breakthroughs in communication technology but also because with each passing day, the impact of the words they say and write seems to grow manifold.In an age of fragile hopes and tenuous human relations, it is how they present themselves verbally and non-verbally that gives them a sense of adequacy and certainty. At the professional front, it is communication and its related skills that decide a person's career curve. It is so because in the professional world, what professionals do most of the time is communicate. The language laboratory plays an important role in the language learning process which focusses on student-cantered learning. The main objective of the English laboratory is to prepare the students for campus recruitment and make them to enhance their LSRW skills. The present paper of mine discusses in details the significance of English Communication Laboratory for professional students and also the active role that a language Teacher is expected to play.
