Abstract
In the present era, English has become one of the most effective global medium of communication. It plays the vital role being the language of the textbooks and medium of instruction at different levels of education. Proficiency in the English language may also increase students overall academic achievement. The present paper focuses on the study of achievement in English of secondary school students in relation to gender, place of living, type of school and different social categories. The study has been carried out on a sample of 532 secondary school students from Rajouri& Poonch district of Jammu & Kashmir. For the assessment of achievement in English of secondary students, the investigator has constructed and standardized an achievement test in English. Findings of the study indicate that majority of the students have a very low level of achievement in English as per the standard of the test. Also, results show the significant difference in achievement in English of secondary school students with regard to gender, type of school and social categories. However, location does not has any impact on achievement in English of secondary school students.
