English as a global language enables
people to keep in touch, do business and/or travel in the modern globalized
world. Thus, teaching and learning English is of critical importance. The
trends in ELT have been gaining tremendous significance in education systems.
It has undergone numerous changes and innovations. There are various crucial
factors combined together causing damage to current affairs of the teaching of
English. A few may be taken as decline of methods, growing emphasis on
bottom-up and top-down skills, creation of new knowledge about English,
integrated and contextualized teaching of multiple language skills, and many
such others.

The struggle for existence is the major theme in post-colonial literature. Colonialism’s dangerous effects cannot be easily eradicated completely since it gets complicated with other kinds of cultural domination which coexist with colonialism. Although most of the former colonies do not endure external political control, covert impositions of hegemony still exist in the form of economic and political power, especially in Canada. The search for ways of survival and existence becomes the problem of identity.
Keywords:
Identity crisis, Metis people, Colonization, Native girl syndrome.

According to Rabindranath Tagore the
image of woman is a symbolizing the sensitivity and oomph of Prakriti, the
Universal Mother, certainly not the sensual nymph of a hedonistic society. The
present paper scrutinizes the labyrinthine emotions trounced by two incongruent
women in The Wreck. Hemnalini and Kamala are the two unlike women. They belong
to the opposite trimmings of the social milieu. Hemnalini falls in love with
Ramesh. When he calls off their marriage, her embedded-trust is broken out.
This despondency slots in her life with the great agony. The unfortunate wreck
escorts Kamala’s survival with Ramesh. Then she ensues to surmount the vicious
gust that he is not her actual husband. Though both Hemnalini and Kamala suffer
a lot, nature and fate fetch contentment in their life. Ultimately it
facilitates to figure a mutual relationship between them. This novel exposes
such a byzantine human relationships with power and feeling.

The purpose of this research study was
to investigate whether the achievement levels in ESL, for Functional Skills,
can be raised. Following observation of Functional Skills English practice,
during the last year, students appeared to readily struggle with the
requirements of the curriculum following the introduction of the new
qualification. Overall attainment rates are poor. This led me to consider
whether the poor success rate was as a result of lack of exposure in functional
skills. From this the thought to explore the nuances of functional English and
present it in the form of a research article began. This article resonates the
findings of the study conducted on the importance of Functional English for ESL
learners.

Listening skill is generally judged as
passive and simple task and less important than other skills of communication-
speaking, reading and writing, but it is not just the ability to absorb
information from someone else. It is the most fundamental and useful element in
the process of communication, hence, it should be improved. The present paper
intends to highlight barriers for effective listening and also suggests some of
the useful approaches. Mother tongue influence, fallacies that people hold
about listening etc. could be few of the obstacles for effective listening. The
paper also aims to have elaborate view of helpful approaches like podcasting
that is easy for present techno-smart generation, narrating or acting story,
revising and repeating what is listened, listening to the tone and volume of
the speaker, listening to person reading, etc. to develop effective listening.

At the global level, over fifty years
ago, the UNESCO constitution identified “Education For All†(EFA) as a key
aspiration for all the countries. The efforts of Indian Government towards
Education For All, still, India has one of the lowest women literacy rates in
Asia. In the Process of globalization, effects of economic reforms, India had
different experiences in all fields including education sector in a greater
way. A country which has higher women literacy rate always witness greater
awareness about career opportunities among individuals and contribution from
them in the economy. In the recent era, the Indian society has established a
number of institutions for the educational development of women and girls.

development of women.

Literature and life are realistically
reciprocal due to which any happening in one has been persistently reflected
into another. In short they hold mirror to each other. Consequently, every
emotion in literature has to be molded and measured by the fountain pen of
reason and rationale. Being reason alone visionary, has the credential credit
of enriching and enhancing the quality and quantity of our life. Hence, the
discoveries and inventions of science are scrupulously relied on rational
aspect of the researcher. In art too the rule of reason can be applied though it
is familiar as the realm of emotion and imagination. Hence if life is tested by
emotion and chewed by reason, it will be worth perceptible. To glorify the
qualities of head and to limit the stride of heart has been obligatory to
prevent and prohibit man transforming into brutal beast that we witness in each
and every walk of life today.

This paper compares the reading
comprehension levels of students from Buddhist schools with those from general
schools in Chiang Mai province in Northern Thailand, based on a 30 minute test
consisting of 24 questions. The test was divided into two sections, with the
first section comprising two passages for reading followed by questions testing
comprehension, and the second part comprising questions that tested vocabulary
based on these passages, like synonyms, antonym, prepositional phrases and
adjectives. This study has serious implications in the students’ placement in
institutions of higher education in Thailand as well as abroad, and also has
implications in their employability prospects.

महाराष्ट्र के प्रसिध्द संत ज्ञानेश्वर ने अपनी
प्रसिध्द रचना ज्ञानेश्वरी में वसूधैव कुटुबकम् में पूरे संसार को एक परिवार में
बांधने की कल्पना की थी। तब उनका अभिप्राय भक्ति से संबंधित होगा या फिर संसारिक
एकता से । किंतु पूरे संसार को एक परिवार में देखना तत्कालीन समय में बहुत बड़ा
दृष्टिकोण था। आज भूमंडलिकरण, वैश्विकरण या गलोबलाइझेशन की
बात हो रही है। संसार इंटरनेट, मोबाईल, फॅक्स, टेलिव्हीजन या अन्य संचार माध्यमों से सिमट रहा है।
विद्वानों के अनुसार इस विकास गति में हम भौतिक सुख को जीवन का मूल मान कर अपनी
संस्कृति से बिछड़ रहे हैं। डÖò. नरसिंह प्रसाद दुबे के
अनुसार - हर माह कुछ भाषाएò. लुप्त हो रही है। एक भाषा की समाप्ति मतलब एक
संस्कृति की समाप्ति होती है। एक ओर इस देश से या संसार से एक-एक भाषा का लोप हो
रहा है वहीं दूसरी ओर व्यापार की भाषाएò दूसरी भाषाओं के शब्दों को ग्रहण कर नई चाल में ढल रही है या फिर धूमिल के
शब्दों में कहे तो भाषा बलात्कार के बाद जवान होती है। यही सब हिंदी भाषा के साथ
हो रहा है। हिंदी केवल बाजार की भाषा नहीं रही वह तो विश्व भाषा बनने जा रही। जो
सर्वेक्षण एवं अध्ययन से स्पष्ट हो चूका है।

In their
critical theories, the stress was laid only on the ideas and intellectual
contents of the work of art. Early Victorians had emphasized the moral, social
and religious uses of literature which had resulted in extrinsic approach to
literature. As a reaction to these movements a 'new' movement appeared on the literary
scene which propagated for the study of the 'form' and 'artistic' aspects of a
work of art, and was named 'Formalist' school or a school of 'new' critics.
They felt that the only course open for the literary criticism to avoid being
exploited by industrialism, and save literature from history, sociology and
science. The concentration on the form, structure, technique, images, metaphors
rhymes and such other items was thought to be worthwhile as it was thought that
it could give the analysis of a literary work wider depth of meaning and help
the critic explore the real depth of meaning.
Key Words: Structure,
Formalist Criticism, New Critics, Aesthetic Sensibility.
