English Language has been around in the world for over 14 centuries now. It has adapted itself accordingly with the demands of every civilization that it passed through and gradually became the most spoken language across the globe. Ability to speak English will undoubtedly help an individual reach and connect with more people. However, despite it being the most prevailed language in the history of humankind, English unknowingly formed a cloud around itself that somehow started intimidating people with English as their Second Language or Foreign Language (ESFL). Many strategies have been devised so far to ameliorate those hurdles for ESFL speakers, most of which reaped little to no success. Language, like stated above, was invented to have a greater sense of understanding between people who communicate with each other. This understanding happens only when the language is associated with an emotion i.e. Emotional Language. Emotional Language, when effectively used, leads to Emotional bonding and connect. (Challa, 2017) Emotional Language Teaching is the need of the hour. And English, in all its glory, is something that must be acquired rather than learnt to be one’s Emotional Language. This short communication is a humble attempt to reach out to all the teachers who are willing to go an extra mile to educate their rural students in the most unique and interactive way possible, for their betterment and for providing them with edutainment oriented acquisition useful for holistic development.
