Abstract :
The teaching of English to undergraduate students in rural areas presents a unique set of challenges due to sociocultural, economic, and infrastructural constraints. The challenges in teaching English as a second language (ESL) to BA-I year students in rural areas are multifaceted, encompassing linguistic, educational, socio-economic, and infrastructural barriers. This research aims to explore the primary difficulties faced by both students and teachers in rural settings, where English proficiency is often lower, and resources are scarce. Through a qualitative analysis of case studies, interviews with educators, and surveys of students, this paper identifies the main obstacles and proposes strategies to improve English language teaching in rural areas. It emphasizes the importance of addressing the unique needs of rural students to create an effective and inclusive learning environment for English acquisition. Addressing these issues will enhance students' English proficiency, boosting their academic and professional prospects. This paper explores the difficulties faced by both educators and students in rural settings and proposes strategies to enhance English language teaching and learning for BA I Year students.
