Technical communication in India trends and concerns

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the current trends in technical communication in English in India. The use of English language has undergone a great change and has largely become industry-specific. The prescribed text books for college students, which earlier had a mix of prose, poetry, drama and essays, have now been replaced by text books in Business English or Communciative English. This paper examines the effects of learning English purely for the purpose of professional communication. © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland.
