Learning comes about as a result of the interaction that takes place between the learner and the teacher. Methods, approaches, techniques and strategies make teaching of any language systematic, meaningful and effective. Learners can improve their understanding level if they use certain methods and approaches and teachers also can improve their skills by using various techniques and strategies. Teaching and learning can be effective when a language or subject is taught according to the situation and circumstances prevailed at the time of teaching in the class room either in natural setting or simulation model. Many languages are taught at schools across the world but English language has grabbed the attention as it is required in modern era because it is used widely everywhere. It is our endeavour that various teaching methods have been designed by constant evaluation and observation. Prominent among those tried out methods are Grammar translation method, Direct method, Audio lingual method and Communicative Language Teaching approach (CLT) and various techniques and strategies are also required for teaching English language. This research investigates how best these methods were used and are being used now in different schools and colleges to teach English language effectively and differently. In fact, English is taught as a second language in most of the countries and various methods and principles are followed by teachers but the methods, mentioned above, are being used widely in teaching- learning process.
