Abstract

This chapter describes how in the globalized era, the need for learning a foreign language has increased the unquenchable thirst of students to attain success globally. Though English enjoys all privileges the same as the regional languages of India, it is no longer considered a foreign language. After the successful completion of engineering courses, a majority of students are placed in IT sectors, and a few, with a keen interest on research, go abroad for higher education. Language is an important part of culture and civilization, and students, by learning foreign languages, get a wide cultural and linguistic exposure. Language is a major aspect of globalization and is closely connected with waves of migrant students.
