Abstract
The objective of this paper is to view the ELT scenario in the select religious institutions called madarsas. Majority of the Muslim population in India live in lower-middle socio-economic strata. The community as a whole had not been able to get access education as other communities in India. Children attend madarsas for education, since it is free and for all. In such schools, main focus is on Islamic teachings. Some other subjects like, Hindi, English, and Computers are also taught. The level of teaching and learning leaves much scope of improvement. In such schools, English education is imparted from level two. Actual goals of teaching English are to develop a basic efficiency of the learners.
