Abstract English communication skills are widely considered essential for professional success and social mobility. Though in higher education contexts and identifiable gap persists between what is taught and what learners acquire is a real-life situations. The study focuses on the curricular gaps and shows a way for a shift from rote learning to a learner-centric and more practice-based approach. Through a mixed method, it explores how experiential learning, contextualised material, focuses on employability and improves learning outcomes. The outcomes suggest that active engagement, vocabulary development, and self-assessment play an indelible role in harnessing communication skills. It adds to the existing domain in the form of curriculum reform and shows a few practical strategies to align classroom teaching with the real-world needs of communication. In Telangana, several undergraduate classrooms are common to find students perform well in written examinations, but fail to speak even a few simple sentences in English. This reality highlights the gap between formal instruction and actual language use.
