This paper reflects the present scenario of English as a second language in India. It explains language and recognises the factors that affect second language learning. It examines different challenges encountered by learners of English and what is the right way of language acquirement for second language learners in India. It is even more difficult in an undeveloped rural area because of the lack of exposure, lack of opportunity to practice English outside the classroom, lack of facilities and poor economic condition. Language acts as a tool to express properly in various communicative situations. However, it is the very second language which needs a watchful and persistent, systematic effort to gain or master it. Second language learning is really a big threat for all native speakers of that language who really deal with it. Many of the Indian students, especially from rural areas, particularly in the states of Bihar, U.P. and Maharashtra, signify this seven –letter “ENGLISH” as a magical and cryptic word. A feeling of restlessness arrives, the moment they hear something in English. As a result of this, teachers who handle English classes face innumerable problems. Students find it hard to listen and to figure out the English language. What are the causes for this? What are the remedial measures to be taken to rectify these problems? This paper is an attempt to evaluate the nature of second language acquirement and the exact factors responsible for its slow acquirement, especially in the rural areas of India. Appropriate and immense solvable measures are cited for the successful reformation of these problems.
