Abstract

In India, English is considered as the symbol of a better life with a high group, pursued by the majority of Indians and used for any opportunities, power, and personal social status. Because of the peculiarity of the English language in this country, it is used as a tool for class division. In current India, education is stratified. Under this circumstance, racism, patriarchy, and class discrimination create a repressive social environment. Also, English seems to be contributing to these social problems. Thus, there is a lot of pressure on English teaching in India. This paper reviews previous studies on Indian studies and found that the relatively fair teaching method of Grammar-Translation Methodology can weaken the inequity of the education system and society.
