Abstract

 Language is the unique phenomenon that man uses to communicate various life experiences, information, feelings, moods or ideas. The system of morphemes and phonemes within it make an utterance meaningful. Debates over the strategies to be implemented in the acquisition of a language have reached its zenith during the modern times. Language learning should be a natural process and proficiency in the different skills of the language is significant.   Language acquisition device (LAD) and the age of the learner is significant in language learning.  Proficiency in a language can vary according to the need of the learner- Second language (L2) or foreign language (FL). Different genres of literature can be used as a means to imbibe language. The role of the teacher in teaching a foreign language like English at different levels is highly demanding. Progressive modern teaching is activity based, skill oriented and demonstrative   giving emphasis to uniqueness and creativity of the learner. The recent developments in Stylistics and language proposes the emergence of a new discipline. In this technologically advanced world, the role of the teacher has to be refashioned to suit the scenario. Innovative strategies should be implemented to engage the learner at graduate level so as to arouse his/her creativity to emerge successful in practical life.
