Additionally, it explores the institutional and resource constraints, including inadequate infrastructure and teaching materials, that further complicate the learning process. The paper critically analyzes existing pedagogical approaches and classroom practices, identifying their limitations and suggesting strategies for improvement. Through this analysis, the study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the unique challenges faced by students and educators alike, offering insights into enhancing English language education in tribal colleges. The research emphasizes the need for tailored teaching methods that consider the socio-cultural realities of the students and advocates for better institutional support and resources to bridge the gap in education.
