An International Conference On “Current Trends in ELT: A Global Perspective” 4 (Published By: IJHEPS, Delhi, Home Page-www.ijheps.org) Dr. P.Esther Joice, M.Sc.,M.Phil.,Ph.D. Principal GOVERNMENT ARTS COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS) SALEM-636007,TAMILNADU MESSAGE I deem it a great privilege and pleasure to view that PG & Research Department of English has organized a One – day International Conference on “ Current Trends in ELT: A Global Perspective”. Globalization has brought tremendous changes in economic, political, cultural, social and educational spheres. English as a global language reflects these changes. To make the Learners well versed in English language, new strategies must be formulated with a global perspective. Also Higher Education system placed in the vortex of global challenges has to renew itself. I have great conviction that this conference on “Current Trends in ELT: A Global Perspective” would realize its goal to prevail over the pitfalls and pave way for perfect means to promote language learning. I appreciate the initiative taken by the Department of English to make the academic community professionally competent and face the challenges in the higher education system with confidence. I also wholeheartedly congratulate the staff and students for their successful accomplishment. I wish the conference an ostentatious success! Dr. P.Esther Joice, M.Sc.,M.Phil.,Ph.D. Principal.

Introduction of Information Communication Technology into language classrooms is appreciated as the necessary course of action for the qualitative improvement of teaching and learning. Institutions have started establishing Education Technologies Centers to provide the required infrastructure, training and support to aid the use of technology in the teaching and learning processes. However, research and studies suggest that a crucial factor for successful technology integration into classrooms is the teacher and teacher-beliefs play a critical role in transforming technology integration into more constructive teaching practices. The advent of technology and developments in the field of education have accelerated a shift from teacher-centered to learner-centered approaches in teaching and learning. To meet the needs of learners who are digital natives, teachers are required to adopt a different role. According to the current principles trending in teaching, teachers can't just be the traditional bench-bound instructors, and they need to be facilitators who support and guide students' learning. With the realization that technology can be fruitfully used in teaching, it has become imperative that teachers require some technical skills to keep abreast with the current trends and requirements. Talking about ELT pedagogy, ensuring learners' motivation and active participation has always been a challenge. Our common knowledge as language teachers and evidence from diverse researchers suggest that when English is taught in a mechanical manner using merely the prescribed text books, it becomes monotonous, dull, uninteresting and boring, but learners seem to be better motivated when new, unconventional and exciting materials are used using imaginative, creative, and innovative teaching techniques. Against the backdrop of such pedagogical concerns and the practical requirements of the day, it becomes essential for teachers to learn and deploy new approaches, techniques and technologies in their classrooms. In this scenario, conferences play an important role in motivating (and also in training) teachers to adopt the right kind of technology and technical tools in their day to day teaching. Conferences give us opportunities to explore several possibilities of enhancing our professional competence by listening to speakers with varied expertise and to share our experiences and concerns with fellow teachers and restructure our teaching strategies. Hence, I place on record my sincere appreciation for all the Faculty Members of the Department of English, Dr. P. Mythily, Organizing Secretary of this ELT Conference, Dr. V. Anbarasi, Professor and Head, Department of English and Dr. P. Esther Joice, Principal of the College for organizing this International Conference on ELT and for giving me an opportunity to deliver a Keynote Address. Justin James Lalitha Justin, M.A., M. Phil. An International Conference On “Current Trends in ELT: A Global Perspective” 6 (Published By: IJHEPS, Delhi, Home Page-www.ijheps.org) Lecturer in English English Language Center, Nizwa College of Technology Sultanate of Oman [email protected] In the present scenario of globalization, multinational business cultures and the boom of internet technology and its indispensability in all walks of life, English has been accepted as the medium of global communication.

    MARITIME HISTORY OF THE PEARL FISHERY COAST WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THOOTHUKUDI THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE MANONMANIAM SUNDARANAR UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY By Sr. S. DECKLA (Reg. No. 1090) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY MANONMANIAM SUNDARANAR UNIVERSITY TIRUNELVELI OCTOBER 2004 13 INDEX INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY 14 INTRODUCTION Different concepts have been employed by historians in different times to have a comprehensive view of the past. We are familiar with political history, social history, economic history and administrative history. Maritime history is yet another concept, which has been gaining momentum and currency these days. It (maritime history) has become a tool in the hands of several Indian historians who are interested in Indo- Portuguese history. The study of maritime history enables these researchers to come closer to the crucial dynamics of historical process. Maritime history embraces many aspects of history, such as international politics, navigation, oceanic currents, maritime transportation, coastal society, development of ports and port-towns, sea-borne trade and commerce, port-hinterland relations and so on1. As far as India and the Indian Ocean regions are concerned, maritime studies have a great relevance in the exchange of culture, establishment of political power, the dynamics of society, trade and commerce and religion of these areas. The Indian Ocean served not only as a conduit for conducting trade and commerce, but also served and still serves, as an important means of communication. The Indians have carried commodities to several Asian and African countries even before the arrival of the Europeans from India.

    AN ETHNOMUSICOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON KANIYAN KOOTHU Aaron J. Paige This paper will analyze some of the strategies by which Kaniyans, a minority com- munity from the Southern districts of Tamil Nadu, use music as a vehicle to negoti- ate, reconcile, and understand social, cultural, and economic change. Kaniyan Koothu performances are generally commissioned for kodai festivals, during which Kaniyans sing lengthy ballads. These stories vary locally from village to village and recount the adventures, exploits, and virtues of gods and goddesses specific to the area and community in which they are worshipped. While these narratives are en- tertaining in their own right, they also serve as springboards for subjective compari- son and interpretation. Kaniyans thus, transform mythological legends into modern social commentary. In a world perceived to be growing increasingly complicated by globalization and modernization, these folk musicians openly voice in performance both their concern for the loss of traditional values and their trepidation that Tamil culture, tamizh panpaadu – particularly village culture, gramiya panpaadu – are gradually being displaced by foreign principles, products, and technologies. In con- tradistinction to this conservative rhetoric, the Kaniyans, in recent years, have made major reformations to their own musical practice. Using specific textual examples, the first part of this paper will look at the ways in which musicians’ semi-improvised narratives foster solidarity under the rubric of a shared Tamil language and cultural identity. The second part of this paper, by way of musical examples, will attempt to illuminate how these same musicians are engaged in redefining and reformulating their musical tradition through the appropriation and integration of rhythmic models characteristic of Carnatic drumming.

Suganya Dr. B. Padmanabhan M.Phil. Research Scholar Assistant Professor Dept. of English and Foreign Languages Dept. of English and Foreign Languages Bharathiar University Bharathiar University Coimbatore Coimbatore Abstract Korkai is a novel exclusively written on the fishermen community of Tuticorin district, Tamil Nadu. The author R.N. Joe D’Cruz has tried to exhibit the annihilation of Parathavar community people’s fame and sea business. During the Kings’ era, people of every community had their own exclusive businesses, values and principles. Likewise, Parathavar community people have been playing a prominent role in Tuticorin district to enhance sea businesses since the Pandiyan reign. Now, their life has become a history to others and mystery to them. The novel Korkai is written to find the reason behind their trauma and lifelong segregation from the others and it also opens out the life history of the Parathavar community. Thus, the paper delves to explore the narrative techniques, analyse the major characters, themes, the language, Nellai Tamil, of the novel Korkai, fishermen’s depravity, jealousy and greed among them and also the modern equipments used in sailing which have lead to the eradication of their fame, business, values and principles in modern era. Keywords: R.N. Joe D’Cruz, Korkai, Fishermen, Parathavar community, Pandiyan Kingdom, Nellai Tamil and depravity.

  • The EJVS Mbh 1 Complete Normal
    1 Thennilapuram P. Mahadevan Department of English Howard University Washington D.C. 20059 [email protected] On the Southern Recension of the Mah ābh ārata , Brahman Migrations, and Br āhm ī Paleography (For Frits Staal ) Introduction It is well-known that the Mah ābh ārata has come down to us in two recensions, the Northern and the Southern. The editors of the Poona Critical Edition (1933-70) 1 of the epic determined, in the process of collating and isolating the archetype of the epic, that its Northern Recension (NR) constitutes in general what is called in textual scholarship the editio simplicior, the naive or the original text, and they created the Critical Edition (CE) from the irreducible archetype of the NR texts, the Śā rada codex of the Kashmir region in the northwest of South Asia. They found likewise that the Southern Recension (SR) was generically an editio ornatio , an ornate text, a version made consciously and systematically: all hundred Kaurava brothers get named, all but a few with the pejorative du prefix; the 18 parvans of NR rise to 24 in the SR, with many insertions and transpositions of crucial episodes within parvans (those of Śakuntal ā and Yay āti, for example, in the Ādiparvan ); further, the SR is overlaid with a Brahmanical ideology, already incipient in the NR. Of even greater interest was their discovery that the Malayalam version of the SR texts was itself an editio simplicior , albeit of the SR-ornatio text: it was the shortest of 2 the SR texts which included the Telugu-Grantha versions of the SR tradition.
