The study emphasizes the need to equip our educated youths with Web content writing skills so that they can earn living at home.

As the study moves on, it emphasizes the important role linguistics and English teachers can play in imparting Web content writing skills to the unemployed graduates in the country. The teachers and course designers need to keep themselves abreast of the changes in the job market. It concludes by highlighting the importance of tailoring MA English / linguistics and M.
