摘要：English is one of the most spoken languages worldwide and is widely used as official communication language. It is equally important and an integral part of educational system. It is a window to the world. It is an effective instrument for acquisition of knowledge, for communication, personal development and national development. Language is the most important aspect in the life of all beings. We use language to express our inner thoughts and emotions. If we are not able to communicate in proper language we will not be able to convey our thoughts effectively. Special efforts at school level itself are required on the part of teacher and learner for acquiring skills for language proficiency. So a teacher should be aware about the needs of the learners, objectives of the course and different ways of analysing language. Teacher should be aware of the latest teaching methodology, approaches and techniques for teaching language effectively. The latest trend is based on the premise that learning needs to be connected to the lives of the students through relevant tasks that focus on student’s ability to use their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways. A skill is a tact, expertness and dexterity. It is a practised ability. It implies facility, ease, smoothness and accuracy in an action or in doing or to do something. This part of the research paper mentions the five language skills. They are the abilities and tacts. They are essential for learning the English language and for using the language for various purposes. These skills should develop accuracy, ease and facility in using the language. There are four basic skills in English language. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The fifth skill which is included is ‘interacting’ which is very important and essential for better communication. This paper highlights four basic skills in English language, its meaning and activities to be conducted to develop these skills.
