The primary concerns
of this research paper are to examine the ways that students who follow
Higher National Diploma in English at Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced
Technological Education- Kandy Campus, look at learning the English
language and to see if it is possible to influence those perceptions in
a more optimistic manner. This research paper starts with a general
discussion of the role of English in the developing world paying
attention to four poignant roles which the English language play in
developing countries. They are: English as a pathway for success in
Academic affairs, as a pathway for obtaining international job
opportunities, as a way of facilitating international communication and
as a medium for achieving global education. The section which follows
discusses the position of English in Sri Lanka. Next, the methodology of
the research report is described and this is followed by a detailed
discussion of research findings. The paper ends with a summary and
conclusions. Cite This Article As: Karunaratne SK (2014). Student perceptions on learning English for personal and career development. Inter. J. Eng. Lit. Cult. 2(10): 250-256.
