Abstract :

Now a days every engineering student aims at learning and speaking English language to communicate with others in order to get a good job in this global village. To train the students in that direction, many of the communication skills trainers flood into the market. It shows that the importance of language in LSRW skills is very much required. This paper concentrates on discussing a literary text in the engineering language classroom as well as laboratory can be a hugely rewarding experience and learning language for both the teacher and the student. By engaging actively and critically with fiction, the students’ ability to effectively use a language grows exponentially. It encourages a student to think critically and from the industry point of view, improves a student’s communication and analytical skills. A questionnaire was given to 120 first year engineering students belonging to Electronics and Communication Engineering Department. The aim of the questions was to ascertain the views of the students regarding language and literature. Finally, many of the students suggested and showed interest that literature in the Engineering language classroom would give better results to learn communication skills and soft skills also
