Introduction: The Invisible Wall in Communication
English is not just a language in India—it is often seen as a gateway to better jobs, education, and social standing. However, for millions, effective communication in English feels like climbing a steep mountain. Despite studying English in schools, many still struggle to speak it confidently. Why does this happen?
Real-Life Struggles: A Daily Challenge for Millions
Ramesh, a bright student from a Hindi-medium school in Uttar Pradesh, topped his class in mathematics. But during an engineering college interview, he couldn't express his ideas in English and was rejected. His story isn't unique. According to internal data collected for LanxGrow’s education outreach, nearly 6.9% of India’s 1.46 billion population—or over 100 million people—still face severe English communication struggles, especially in non-metro cities and rural regions.
These are not failures of intelligence—but failures of access, confidence, and personalized support.
Research Insights: A Gap Between Education and Expression
According to the 2023 India Skills Report, only 45% of graduates were found employable in communication-related roles, with English proficiency being a key factor. The report also highlighted that students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities lag far behind their metro counterparts.
Moreover, a 2021 Cambridge English survey found that over 60% of Indian learners lacked confidence in speaking English, even after years of classroom instruction.
Key Barriers Faced by Learners
- Fear of Making Mistakes – Most learners are scared of being judged or laughed at.
- Lack of Spoken Practice – Schools focus on grammar, not conversation.
- Influence of Mother Tongue – Regional language habits affect pronunciation and sentence structure.
- Stage Fear and Low Confidence – Even those with good vocabulary hesitate in public speaking.
- Limited Exposure – Rural and non-English-medium students don’t have regular English interactions.
