English being the lingua franca continues to be a force in shaping the future of the world. From the time of British colonization till today, English is the language used for all purpose - be it trade, commerce, politics, culture or education. English holds a place of status in our country, even after more than six decades since British left India. No native language however has come up to replace English, either as a medium of communication or as an official language. Under the influence of nationalistic feeling and emotional hostility English began to reassert its position. This paper is an overview of the main problems connected with teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). It also focuses on the challenges in teaching English, especially for the students of 21st century.
