India is a melting pot of people of different ethnicities, religions, and languages. The Indian educational system has traditionally included lessons about Indian culture. As a result, it is crucial that both educators and students be cognizant of the cultural differences between English and vernacular languages. Understanding the subtleties of the culture practised in different countries is beneficial to both the instructor and the student while learning English via the use of digital media. Students who are exposed to the nuances of various cultures may find that they are better able to comprehend not just the literature at hand, but also the cultural boundaries inside themselves. Students who are able to overcome cultural barriers are also more open to adopting and adapting the best features of different cultures. With special reference to the tendencies prevalent throughout the past decades, this study describes the well-known patterns in the ELT that have been employed practically in recent times across the globe. There has been a shift in the way that foreign languages are taught in schools, from a focus on classical Latin and grammatical analysis to an emphasis on more conversational techniques.
