Abstract
English language proficiency has emerged as a crucial skill for academic success, employment opportunities, and social mobility in contemporary India. However, learners in rural regions often face significant challenges in acquiring basic English language skills due to limited exposure, inadequate teaching resources, socio-economic constraints, and traditional pedagogical practices. Odisha, a predominantly rural and linguistically diverse state, reflects these challenges vividly. This research article explores the current status of basic English language education in rural Odisha, identifies key obstacles affecting English language acquisition, and proposes effective, context-sensitive strategies for improvement. Using a mixed-methods approach involving surveys, classroom observations, and interviews with teachers, students, and parents, the study highlights gaps in teacher training, curriculum implementation, learning materials, and community involvement. The findings suggest that adopting communicative language teaching approaches, strengthening teacher professional development, integrating low-cost technology, and fostering community participation can significantly enhance English language learning outcomes. The study concludes with practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to promote equitable and effective English language education in rural Odisha.
