English as a second language refers to English using situations in which English is the language of public life for speakers of other languages at home. In a multi-lingual country like India, the mother tongue is used for immediate needs and early education, but to be able to reach out to the majority of people around the world, one has to be well equipped with the English language. The general language competence of a learner is formed as and when he gets exposed to a number of languages being used around him and being heard by him. Therefore, listening becomes the most important activity for proper and quick competence in the language.
