Abstract
In the present scenario, most of the engineering colleges do prefer Communicative Approach rather than literature in the curriculum of B.Tech program, to develop the four skills (LSRW). Does Communicative Approach alone serves the purpose? Can the approach enable the professional students to grab the opportunities? If so, why do MNCs give a statement that Engineering graduates are not industry ready in terms of communication skills? Thus, the situation demands flow of language and not the chunks of situational dialogues. At this juncture, a second language learner ought to feel comfortable in speaking the language. The required expressions in a language cannot be taught in isolation, to bridge the gap, there should be a blend of both Communicative approach and Literature. In a nutshell, Literature allows, one to understand the language in a better way. In fact, language and literature go hand in hand where literature comprises variety of situations, more particularly encompassing all the expressions, vocabulary, and correct sentences. While allowing the learner to practice, Communicative Approach Techniques can be applied. The present paper deals with stating the importance of Literature and Communicative Approach in imparting language skills to professional students.
