The English language is the most spoken language around the world but it is also notable that English as a language in India for more than a century. The three-language formula is applied in our schools since 1986. English is introduced as the second language in most schools, but the proficiency in the English language of the students in the government school is still very low. There are four skills of language learning listening, speaking, reading, and writing (LSRW). These four skills of teaching English should be taught from the starting of formal education and the primary or elementary stage. There are various techniques and methods to improve English language skills. The researcher argues that in the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills of the students at the primary level who are studying in government and private schools there is a vast gap in their acquisition.
