  • Abstract:
  • This study examines the current state of technical-technical English education in government polytechnics in the North Coastal Districts of Andhra Pradesh, considering the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study integrates quantitative surveys of students and teachers with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions to uncover significant gaps and obstacles in the execution of technical English programs. The results highlight a clear gap between the objectives of the NEP and the current curriculum practices, underscoring the importance of developing practical, industry-specific language skills and enhancing teacher training. Regional disparities, limited digital resources, and resistance to change further complicate the program's effectiveness. The study indicates that certain policy adjustments are required to address these disparities and harmonise technical English education with the objectives of NEP 2020. It is important to prioritise the improvement of teacher training and access to digital tools.
