An investigation into the mode of target language teaching through structral functional method and conventional method at secondary level of rural backdrop

English language learning in the Indian classroom situation is a serious concern for the teacher. The ESL teacher makes experimental effort to produce the four basic language skills among the pupils who possess varied levels of language acquisition power in the class. So there is consistent and directed drive on the part of the ESL teachers to adopt some specific methodological paradigms to develop the receptive and productive skills among the learners. Some practitioners of Conventional Method think that language learning should accompany specific mode of application of the grammar rules and translation usages during second language teaching inside the classroom situation. Some teachers tend to be experimental in exercising the Structural Functional Method with a view to generating the language proficiency among the learners by providing them awareness on structural pattern of language and their functional implication. The present study is an attempt to explore experimentally the comparative effectiveness of the Conventional Method of teaching and teaching with Structural Functional Method in the second language classroom situation.
