The Journey of English Language: Exploring the Manipulation of the Language in Connection to ICT P. Sasikumar, P. Mohanraj, S. Suganya Karpagam, S. S. Soundarya, K. Nagarathinam, T. Manickam Recent Trends in Engineering and Science for Resource Optimization and Sustainable Development, 2025 Many people currently speak English. The term ‘global language’ has frequently been used to describe a language that is a standard means of communication in the contemporary era. It is the language most commonly taught as a second language worldwide. The English language has experienced numerous transformations since its inception and remains in a state of constant evolution. In contemporary times, there is a growing imperative to prioritize the development of bilingual individuals who can proficiently utilize English for effective communication. It is due to the recognition that English transcends its status as a language solely associated with literature. It has become the preferred language of communication in a wide range of industries and sectors. The English language’s presence in India represents individuals’ aspirations for excellence in education and enhanced engagement in domestic and global contexts. The observable consequence of the prevalence of English is that it is currently being sought after by individuals at the earliest levels of education. Given that India is a linguistically diverse country, English is commonly called the lingua franca in inter-state mobility and communication. This paper provides an overview of historical and contemporary developments in English Language Teaching, explicitly focusing on the impact of Information and Communication Technology on the enhancement of English teaching methodologies in India.
Empowering Rural India with Machine Learning: The Impact of Personalized Learning on English Education P. Sasikumar, S. Suganya Karpagam, S. Soundarya, K. Nagarathinam, S. Balamurugan Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference Image Information Processing, 2023 This review article explores the impact of machine learning and personalized learning on English education in rural India. With limited access to quality education, rural India is facing several challenges such as a shortage of quality teachers, limited access to resources, and low enrollment rates. The use of technology, specifically machine learning and personalized learning, has the potential to address some of these challenges and improve the quality of education in rural India. This survey focusses on the existing methods, such as the Digital India program and mobile-based learning, and discuss their limitations in terms of personalization and adaptability to individual learning needs. The authors then discuss different techniques that can be used to empower English education in rural India, such as personalized learning plans, analysis of student data, and adaptive learning. While machine learning and personalized learning have the potential to revolutionize education in rural India, there are several challenges that need to be addressed, such as the need for infrastructure, teacher training, and access to technology. In the future, it is important to focus on developing scalable and sustainable models for machine learning and personalized learning in education. Ultimately, the goal should be to provide quality education to all individuals in rural India, irrespective of their socio-economic background, and empower them to achieve their full potential.
