Many learners are very eager to receive private tutoring supports in ELT. Parents also depend upon private tutoring to cut good figures of the examinations of their children. Monthly paymentin private tutoring is on the increase day by day in Bangladesh. This study aims to examine the major reasons of private tutoring in English Language Learning at the SSC level of Bangladesh Education System. Moreover, it aims to investigate the problems of the learners why they are so weak in English. To carry out this project at Gazipur District in Bangladesh, 10 teachers (both schoolteachers and tutors), 20-25 students of SSC level and 15 parents were taken interview with a questionnaire process. Anobservation was done in the classroomto investigate where there was any weaknessin English teaching capability of the private tutors. The findings from the survey show that most of the SSC level students receive private tutoring support and they have a satisfactory mentality with English Language Learning process provided by the private tutors rather than school teachers. But in real sense, learners should not relyupon private tutor. Private tuition has both positive and negative aspects. Parents and learners should understand the necessity of private tutoring in English Language Learning and at the same timebe conscious of problematic aspects of private tutoring as well. Key words: ELT, Private Tutoring, Tutors, SSC Level Students, Parents and Teachers Introduction Private tutoring in academic subjects is defined as tutoring provided on a supplementary basis at the end of the school day, at weekends, or during vacations. It is paid for by fees and it Language in Indiawww.languageinindia.comISSN 1930-294017:5 May 2017 Md Abu Nayeem Chain Reactions of Private Tutoring in English Language Learning at the SSC Level of Bangladeshi Students: Problems and Probable Solutions 1 typically involves two individuals, a tutor (the teacher or the person who helps someone to learn) and a tutee (the person being taught). The tutor is more knowledgeable or expert than the tutee, and attempts to help the tutee learn, usually in an academic area. Age is not necessarily a factor in the tutoring relationship – the tutor and tutee may be the same age – as long as the tutor has greater knowledge or skill than the tutee. Traditionally, tutoring has involved one-to-one instruction, but some tutoring programs do involve a tutor and two or three tutees. Tutoring does not include extracurricular subjects such as sports and art lessons or family members on voluntary basis. (Bray, 2003, p.13) Private tutoring is a widespread phenomenon in many developing and developed countries around the globe. It is a byproduct and a characteristic of certain educational system which makes to establish a milieu for its prevailing system. This is the case in the educational system in Bangladesh, where private tutoring is on the increase across the country despite the government has taken some protesting stepsagainst it. Private tutoring does affect many subjects, like English, Mathematics, Accounting, and Science in the Bengali educational curriculum, though certain subjects take the lion’s share of attention of the SSC learners in Bangladesh. One of these subjects is English as a foreign language (EFL). This is due, for the major part, to the importance of this language in future studies or work opportunities in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, many SSC level learners have a strong motive towards private tutoring, they think that there is no alternative means without private tutoring. Guidance have also same motive like their children. Both parents and students think that private tutoring can bring for them a brilliant success in each examination. The current study wants to examine the issues of private tutoring in relation to the subject of English Language Learning, with a consideration of its reasons and impacts on Bangladeshi students’ learning motivation. To acquire the target, the study has taken interviews of 20 students as well as their parents to investigate what makes them adhere to private tutoring and what impacts it has on them and their learning.

    NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED STUDIES LIBRARY NEW ARRIVALS 1 January 2020 SL.No TITLE ABSTRACT 1 The Idea of the World: A Multi-Disciplinary A rigorous case for the primacy of mind in nature, from philosophy to neuroscience, psychology and physics. The Idea of the World Argument for the Mental Nature of Reality offers a grounded alternative to the frenzy of unrestrained abstractions and unexamined assumptions in philosophy and science today. This book examines what can be learned about the nature of reality based on conceptual parsimony, straightforward logic and empirical evidence from fields as diverse as physics and neuroscience. It compiles an overarching case for idealism - the notion that Author: Bernardo Kastrup reality is essentially mental - from ten original articles the author has previously published in leading academic journals. The case Publisher: Iff Books begins with an exposition of the logical fallacies and internal contradictions of the reigning physicalist ontology and its popular Year: 2019 alternatives, such as bottom-up panpsychism. It then advances a compelling formulation of idealism that elegantly makes sense of - and reconciles - classical and quantum worlds. The main objections to idealism are systematically refuted and empirical evidence is Call Number: 110 reviewed that corroborates the formulation presented here. The book closes with an analysis of the hidden psychological motivations KAS behind mainstream physicalism and the implications of idealism for the way we relate to the world. 17852 Recommended by: Dr Nithin Nagaraj 2 Holy Science : The Biopolitics of Hindu Behind the euphoric narrative of India as an emerging world power lies a fascinating but untold story of an evolving relationship Nationalism between Science and religion.

  • Innovation, Economic Development, and Intellectual Property in India and China Comparing Six Economic Sectors ARCIALA Series on Intellectual Assets and Law in Asia
    ARCIALA Series on Intellectual Assets and Law in Asia Kung-Chung Liu Uday S. Racherla Editors Innovation, Economic Development, and Intellectual Property in India and China Comparing Six Economic Sectors ARCIALA Series on Intellectual Assets and Law in Asia Series Editor Kung-Chung Liu, School of Law, Singapore Management University, Singapore, Singapore This series, sponsored by the Applied Research Centre for Intellectual Assets and the Law in Asia (ARCIALA) focuses on intellectual assets and law in Asia, and also addresses international intellectual property (IP) norms that would impact Asian development. IP study thus far, globally speaking, is focused on the Western hemisphere as it continuously generates and disseminates new paradigms and legal norms to the rest of the world. Asia has been an importer and follower of those IP standards. The limited study of the Asian IP landscape in English is more on a national level, and seldom on a pan-Asia level which is the approach taken by this series. Asia as a growth engine of the world is now transitioning to a higher economic development level and will have a much more significant effect on international IP law moving forward. Key themes covered in the series include: innovation, economic growth and IP; the interplay between IP law and competition law; the intersection between IP and trade talks; patent; copyright; trademark; and individual country studies.
