Effective communicative Strategies (ECS), Engineering Students, Language Proficiency, Strategy Inventory for Effective Communication, Prospective aspirants.
In order to succeed the competitive professional environment and to enhance the language proficiency, young engineering professionals are required to device and facilitate themselves with the required communication strategies. A large number of engineering students from rural districts in Tamilnadu are struggling to acquire a placement of their choice amidst the sound academic records, owing to their lack of proficiency in communication. Most of the young engineers flounder in the job market with average core skills and inadequate communication skills. Employers and hiring consultancies are weary of not being able to recruit the required percentage of well- trained proficient individuals. It becomes altogether the greatest need of the hour that these engineers to focus on their English Language Skills in addition to core technical knowledge. In such scenario, awareness of effective communication strategies can be of immense help to enhance proficiency in English within the stipulated time. Various communication strategies need to be employed in order to motivate the learners to develop the sense of responsibility in acquiring the language skills. This research study investigates Effective Communicative Strategies (ECS) employed by engineering students of five engineering colleges in Thiruvallur district in Tamilnadu. ECS are focused plans or techniques that learners use to assist their progress so as to enhance the level of proficiency. Strategy Inventory for Effective Communication was applied to 80 engineering students from five engineering colleges of Tiruvallur district. The main objective of this study is to identify the types and level of in the usages of ECS employed by these engineering students. In addition to that, it also aims to analyze the students’ perceptions on the use of strategies in their language (English) learning. The study reported the preference of cognitive, metacognitive, compensatory and social strategies over to insufficient use of memory and affective strategies. The present study also revealed that these engineering students are totally unaware of the benefits of ECS and that some students are with lack of confidence, anxiety and withdrawn attitude in learning English.
