It develops the mind and it is fundamental to function in today’s society. Reading is important in developing a good self- image. It is a significant capability which empowers the access to information, communication. It is a lifelong skill to be used throughout the life. Reading is that part of the learning process through which we get to know about the world. For a student, reading skills are very essential to fare well in regular exams as well as to gain expertise in the concerned field of knowledge. Despite its importance, reading is one of the most challenging areas to be learnt by a student and taught by a teacher. Reading demands different styles depending on the purpose of the reading. The present paper highlights various strategies like skimming, scanning, intensive and extensive reading, comprehension, review which improves effective reading skills. Keywords: Reading, vital, information, lifelong, skill, skimming, scanning, intensive, extensive reading. Reading - An Outgoing & Unrestrained Process Reading is an important communicative process and reading skills are certainly the most important language skills required for academic and professional purposes. “Reading informs, socializes, and shapes an individual’s life. Without understanding what is being read, one is not really reading (Bulut, 2015). To enhance once reading skills rapid, well-organized and creative reading techniques are necessary in order to accomplish academic success; academic result depends on the extent how one reads and the importance or prominence he/she gives to this skill of reading. Reading is a most complicated process of receiving and interpreting the written word. It involves recognizing what is written and thoughtfully understanding the matter. Reading Is Concerned with Four Factors Decoding, comprehending, text analysis and response. ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 20:6 June 2020 Dr. Sirisha Iruvuri, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Strategies: To Improve Effective Reading Skills 1 Decoding or interpreting in reading refers to the process of changing the coded message into information in an order and in a sequence and the interpretation of a written message may be influenced by our social, cultural, educational, professional, and intellectual frames of reference. A person decodes or interprets the message keeping in mind his/her own perceptions, which he/she confidently feels they are correct. Comprehension in reading refers to the recognition and understanding of the main theme, thoughts, sustaining details and different styles of writing. To figure out different levels of messages one should have decisive and systematic thinking which isvery important. Text Analysis is a process of finding the associations among various units within the text to make out relevant and irrelevant information, facts and opinions and examples and ideas and draw inferences and conclusions. Response is our reaction to the written message. It completes the reading process as it is the last step of the reading. DECODING----- COMPREHENDING-----TEXTANALYSIS-----RESPONSE The reader reads letters The reader The reader critically The reader responds and focuses on them to interprets the examines and to the message change the coded message and evaluates the message into understands its message information literal meaning Purpose Firstly, one should know why we are reading, and what is the purpose of reading the information. Is it for simply to pass the time, for getting information, or to keep the information in the mind and discuss later when we get a chance for discussion. People do read for different reasons: Some read to have fun during journey and pass their time. Some read as a hobby from their childhood. Professionals read and use the information practically in different contexts. Teachers read to gain knowledge and share information to their students. We need to start and practice reading at a very early age, so that the interaction between language and literacy allows the child to be exposed to language and understand how it works (Lyon, 2003.) The consequences of reading failure are serious. In the present globalised scenario ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 20:6 June 2020 Dr. Sirisha Iruvuri, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Strategies: To Improve Effective Reading Skills 2 students to be part of this competitive society needs to have all the Listening, speaking reading and writing skills.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Mapping India's Language and Mother Tongue Diversity and Its
    Mapping India’s Language and Mother Tongue Diversity and its Exclusion in the Indian Census Dr. Shivakumar Jolad1 and Aayush Agarwal2 1FLAME University, Lavale, Pune, India 2Centre for Social and Behavioural Change, Ashoka University, New Delhi, India Abstract In this article, we critique the process of linguistic data enumeration and classification by the Census of India. We map out inclusion and exclusion under Scheduled and non-Scheduled languages and their mother tongues and their representation in state bureaucracies, the judiciary, and education. We highlight that Census classification leads to delegitimization of ‘mother tongues’ that deserve the status of language and official recognition by the state. We argue that the blanket exclusion of languages and mother tongues based on numerical thresholds disregards the languages of about 18.7 million speakers in India. We compute and map the Linguistic Diversity Index of India at the national and state levels and show that the exclusion of mother tongues undermines the linguistic diversity of states. We show that the Hindi belt shows the maximum divergence in Language and Mother Tongue Diversity. We stress the need for India to officially acknowledge the linguistic diversity of states and make the Census classification and enumeration to reflect the true Linguistic diversity. Introduction India and the Indian subcontinent have long been known for their rich diversity in languages and cultures which had baffled travelers, invaders, and colonizers. Amir Khusru, Sufi poet and scholar of the 13th century, wrote about the diversity of languages in Northern India from Sindhi, Punjabi, and Gujarati to Telugu and Bengali (Grierson, 1903-27, vol.

  • Chapter One: Social, Cultural and Linguistic Landscape of India
    Chapter one: Social, Cultural and Linguistic Landscape of India 1.1 Introduction: India also known as Bharat is the seventh largest country covering a land area of 32, 87,263 sq.km. It stretches 3,214 km. from North to South between the extreme latitudes and 2,933 km from East to West between the extreme longitudes. On this 2.4 % of earth‟s surface, lives 16% of world‟s population. With a population of 1,028,737,436 variations is there at every step of life. India is a land of bewildering diversity. India is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the Figure 1.1: India in World Population south, the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on the east. Many outsiders explored India via these routes. The whole of India is divided into twenty eight states and seven union territories. Each state has its own cultural and linguistic peculiarities and diversities. This diversity can be seen in every aspect of Indian life. Whether it is culture, language, script, religion, food, clothing etc. makes ones identity multi-dimensional. Ones identity lies in his language, his culture, caste, state, village etc. So one can say India is a multi-centered nation. Indian multilingualism is unique in itself. It has been rightly said, “Each part of India is a kind of replica of the bigger cultural space called India.” (Singh U. N, 2009). Also multilingualism in India is not considered a barrier but a boon. 17 Chapter One: Social, Cultural and Linguistic Landscape of India Languages act as bridges because it enables us to know about others.

SIL International® 2015 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2015-012, October 2015 ©2015 SIL International® All rights reserved Abstract The primary purpose of this study is to identify the need for vernacular literature in the Noiri language (noi) in order to facilitate communication with this group. In addition, the study investigates the possibility that Dungra Bhili language development could also serve Noiri speakers. Accordingly, the goals of this ambitious study were: (1) to identify the geographical area of the Noira people; (2) to determine the lexical similarity/difference between Noiri and the surrounding language varieties; (3) to investigate the intelligibility of Dungra Bhili among Noiri speakers; (4) to assess the attitude of Noiri speakers to the Dungra Bhili variety; (5) to evaluate bilingualism of Noiri speakers in the state languages of Marathi (in Maharashtra) and Hindi (in Madhya Pradesh); and (6) to evaluate language use and attitude of Noiri speakers toward their own language variety. The authors created all the maps in this report. [This survey report written some time ago deserves to be made available even at this late date.
