India : The Society for the Promotion of Education in India, 2024. Includes bibliographical references. Abstract : The present study aims to show how a positive attitude and an adequate level of confidence are essential prerequisites in learning among students and determining their growth in gaining proficiency in the language. It focuses on finding the perspective of the learners and the prevailing status of ELT and learning among the higher secondary school students in Tamenglong district of Manipur, India. Through testing their LSRW skills, it is discovered that many students find it difficult in English because of MTI and the fear of making grammatical errors. However, they are confident that these difficulties and challenges could be overcome with the help of their teachers assisted by various ICT tools and modern gadgets. This positive attitude towards learning is verified to be the cornerstone of progress in ELT classrooms in Tamenglong.
