Abstract	The present study investigates the role of media in enhancing English language learning among tribal students at the secondary school level in the Banswada region. The research was conducted at Telangana Tribal Welfare Gurukul from 21 to 23 December 2025. A total of 102 tribal students participated in the study. Data were collected through a structured student questionnaire consisting of 15 items and supported by classroom observation. The study explores students’ exposure to media, frequency of use, types of media accessed, and their perceived impact on vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, listening skills, and overall confidence in English communication. The findings reveal that media exposure significantly enhances students’ interest, motivation, and language proficiency, particularly in listening and vocabulary development. The study recommends structured integration of audio-visual and digital media tools in secondary-level English classrooms in tribal regions to bridge linguistic gaps and improve communicative competence.
