Abstract

English plays a prominent place among the learners at tertiary level in the parent scenario. Though there were many systems introduced to enhance the communication competency, all ends with failures to ensure the sound experience in learning, and exploring communication competency. Still the women students from rural setting could not able to open their mouth to interact with the teachers and as well with their peers. Therefore, the paper attempts to enhance and assess possibilities for communicative competency of rural based women students and to diagnose the disease called ignorance. Most of the women students are from rural background and first generation learners. They face obstacles while learning English language to communicate and to go for higher studies. With the self content mind and lack of communicative competence, majority of the women students failed to continue studies and sometime which leads to dropouts. Besides, this is the right time to prevent such kind of mishaps and there should be teachers and women students’ integration to shatter the communicative competency phobia among the rural based students. Further there should be interactive sessions on film based role play activities, self discretion talks of individuals and regular audio visual lectures with the support of teachers.
