Rabindranath Tagore, a versatile genius, who put forward his philosophy of education both in paper and in practice, came with an approach, unique in every aspect, to teach budding minds in his asramite school in Santiniketan where Tagore redefined learning goals, learning environment, teaching strategies, curriculum and assessment techniques. During his role as a teacher in this school, Tagore developed course books for the pupils viz., Enreji Sopan (Steps to English), Enreji Sruti Siksha (Listening & Learning English), and Enreji Sahaj Siksha (Easy Learning English) to teach English as a second language. These books record Tagore’s approach to teach English with necessary instructions for the teachers to follow. This article draws upon theoretical perspectives of learning a language in connection with the strategies adopted by Tagore in English language class.
