SSC English Important Questions for AP and Telangana Students - New Syllabus

The elements of grammar and vocabulary are to be contextually embedded
in appropriate discourses. So dialoguing is the only way which will
equip the learners with language. The students have to go beyond the
text book by exploring other materials such as newspapers, journals,
story books, etc., to widen their world of English. The questions and
activities given under comprehension demand the learners to use
language authentically. The questions are primarily application based
ones.
