English is the second most important language in the country after the national language Hindi since it is taught as a compulsory subject in all the Indian schools. In the educational system of a multilingual country, it becomes imperative to improve the English Language teaching skills of the school teachers who come from various linguistic backgrounds. The school teacher plays a vital role in the development of linguistic skills of the students. What children learn can affect their later success or failure in school, work, and their personal lives. As such, the school teachers need to improve their own English language skills if they are teaching without any previous English language training. This paper throws light on the communicative approach of English language teaching. It introduces the Certificate in Teaching of English (CTE) programme of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and outlines the syllabus and the methods used by the university to impart English Language Teaching skills to the elementary/secondary schoolteachers through this programme with the obj the learners and their learning process.  \nEnglish teaching and school teachers  \nThe English teachers in schools need professional training in language skills because they come from various linguistic backgrounds due to the fact that the medium of instruction in Indian schools is either English or the regional language. As such, it is imperative to focus on the needs of learners in a particular community. It needs to be a collaborative activity as well as an individual activity. The particular needs of individuals can be met in this manner. The more highly skilled, motivated and effective are English teachers, the more effective learning outcomes will be for students in English classrooms.  \nAs per Schon ( 1987), quality teaching is directly related to the development of a strong and skilled teacher to respond to community and educational concerns, learning outcomes for learners and take a more active role in curriculum planning, including building on and refining existing practices and constantly develop excellent teaching practices.  \nTo maintain and improve the quality of classroom English teaching, the institution should provide initial teacher education and courses appropriate to the needs and requirements of English teachers in close consultation with schools; provide teacher education and courses in language appropriate to the needs and requirements of school teachers; liaise with employing authorities in supporting new curriculum initiatives, designing new courses and supporting professional development initiatives and maintaining an informed, relevant awareness of current practices in schools since teachers' knowledge leads to more effective teaching and learning in classrooms.  \nTeaching English language skills to English school teachers empowers teachers and meets the identified needs of teachers and schools. It needs to be challenging, informative, innovative and well planned. It is supposed to build skills, involve active participation and team work and be professionally fulfilling and enjoyable.  \nProgramme delivery in IGNOU  \nThe University has an extensive network of Regional Centres, Learner Support Centres, including Work Centres, Programme Study Centres and Partner Institutions in India (under the convergence scheme), and other countries, through which it reaches out to its learners. At these centres, learners are provided with support services in respect of subject-specific academic counseling, listening/viewing of Audio/Video programmes, library facilities, teleconferencing, video conferencing, computer access, laboratory work and other practical work.
