Abstract: English has become the global language of communication, education, and employment. Yet, for rural undergraduates in India, especially in districts such as Coorg, Karnataka, acquiring English communicative competence remains a formidable challenge. This study investigates the difficulties faced by rural learners, drawing on survey responses from 194 students and 23 teachers. The analysis explores demographic, socio-economic, cultural, and instructional factors influencing language proficiency. Results reveal that most students have limited exposure to English beyond the classroom, suffer from low confidence in speaking, and lack adequate infrastructure and interactive learning opportunities. Teachers highlight fear of speaking, limited vocabulary, and poor fluency as major barriers. The study concludes that targeted interventions activity-based learning, bilingual instruction, integration of digital tools, and creation of immersive English environments are essential to bridge the rural–urban divide in communicative competence and to enhance employability.
Keywords: English Communication, Rural Students, Coorg District, Language Learning Challenges, Employability, Teacher Perspectives.
