With advent of my experience, I learnt well to gain my sympathy for my native students in majority on- today.
English is considered to be the foremost language with whom apparently any human is generally acquainted.
However, students at my place with their age are very much fascinated on learning more on the subject . It is good … some are feeling to be interested more to continue the study on Linguistics.
Now, interestingly noticed where lies the problem, the knowledge on Linguistic they are learning at higher, if would be simplified in school purposes , the student would acquaint itself with basic conception on why it is necessary to learn on grammar and its structure, rather than making the student to work-through blindly on acquiring and solving bookish facts of grammar.
As such though with pressure on study, I agree, the subject could be made more interestingly on introducing simplified rhetoric and prosody, helps on pronunciation of an English word acutely too to the generation.
What was not in our times … let the generation be continued in a new way more in simplicity from school!
