The globalization of English and a growing demand for good English Language skills in the job market in particular have been placing a greater emphasis on the teaching of English language. At present, in India, English language is the widely taught second language, and in all Engineering Institutes medium of communication is English. All engineering subjects are being taught in English language, but still the major problem of student is poor speaking and writing skill in English language.


In second language contexts, the situation has considerably improved with the wide use of audio-visual mass media. Teachers of English in India toil desperately to find suitable methodologies to facilitate the students in acquiring the writing skills and are intended to analyze the multifaceted use of Internet as an interactive teaching medium to impart writing skills to the Indian learners. Although teachers are putting all efforts, yet the improvement in writing skill is not satisfactory. This paper is an endeavour to explore the possibilities of integrating Internet in the field of English language teaching in India and to describe several models for communications-instructions, methods, techniques and approaches to develop writing skills of Engineering students.
