The key purpose of this research is to insist on the necessity of intensive exposure to English language especially in ESL classrooms to facilitate swift language acquisition. This proposal is based on an experiment conducted with 40 Engineering students randomly chosen from the department of Computer Science and Engineering at Aalim Muhammed Salegh College of Engineering, Chennai, India, in 2021. The students were exposed to intense language learning environment to see if the language learning takes place swiftly as expected in a particular period of time. The outcome of this experiment was: Firstly, intensive exposure to English language had a great impact on students in acquiring the basics of the language in comparison to the previous batch students, who, though greatly interested, still could not make it due to the lack of intense exposure. Secondly, there is a significant association between intensive exposure to language and developing the four basic language skills, i.e., Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing which in turn results in swift acquisition. Lastly, it is recommended that students should continually be exposed to the English language even outside the ESL classroom through home assignments like watching English movies, listening to radio, reading English books, newspapers, magazines, and practicing English language with native speakers on a daily basis using mobile applications to encourage and improve the fluency as well as proficiency in acquiring English language. It is also recommended that teachers and parents should raise learners’ awareness towards the importance of learning English language through exposure to the language on daily basis using different techniques that can augment second language acquisition.
