Future directions: Enhancing English language education and promoting gender equality in Maharashtra's literary landscape


Author(s): Yogesh Yuvaraj Patil

Abstract:
This research paper delves into the intertwined challenges of enhancing English language education and advancing gender equality within Maharashtra's literary domain. Despite the global importance of English for educational and professional advancement, Maharashtra faces substantial hurdles in providing equitable English language education, compounded by pronounced gender disparities that further marginalise female participation in the literary field. This paper critically examines the prevailing status of English language education in Maharashtra, highlighting how gender imbalances in literacy and educational opportunities contribute to a skewed literary landscape. Through a comprehensive analysis of educational policies, teaching methodologies, and cultural barriers, this study identifies systemic gaps that perpetuate inequality. Drawing on comparative models of success from other regions and incorporating feminist pedagogical principles, this paper proposes integrated strategies designed to elevate English language proficiency universally while addressing the gendered barriers that inhibit women's full participation in literary culture. These strategies include curriculum reform, teacher training programs on gender sensitivity, and community-based initiatives to increase female literary engagement. By advocating for a holistic approach that intertwines language proficiency with gender empowerment, this paper offers a blueprint for transforming Maharashtra's educational and literary ecosystems into more inclusive, equitable spaces.
