(Applied English Linguistics) ==================================================================== Abstract In recent years English language has been influenced by number of language theories and methodologies .The makers of these theories and methods claim that traditional teaching methods have become old and do not create interest among students which gives birth to rote learning instead of true learning and gaining of knowledge. On the other hand the supporters of Traditional method claim that the Grammar translation method is the appropriate and fool proof way of teaching L2. Cunningham (2000) in his paper "Translation in the Classroom- a Useful Tool for Second Language Acquisition" indicates that translation method contributes to students learning at all levels. It enhances the correct grammar knowledge and it is useful tool to understand the meaning of abstract words and complicated sentences. This paper is based on an action research which is conducted on 48 participants of grade 9th in Government Girls High School Thano Bulla Khan Jamshoro Sindh. This research attempts to check the change in the level of motivation among students when they are being taught through different activities in classroom. The class of 48 children was divided into 6 groups of 8 children in each group. Six different tasks were given to groups with clear instructions, proper seating arrangement and well enough teaching resources. This research witnesses a remarkable change in interest of students, their level of motivation was increased and they seemed more confident.

(Applied English Linguistics) Thrashing Learners Inactivity in Large Classes: An Action Research on the Secondary Students of Thano Bulla Khan District Jamshoro 1 Introduction Lewin (1946; 1948) codified the action research into four main steps: 1. Planning 2. Acting 3. Observing 4. Reflecting This research is also based on these four steps .Proper planning of the research is kept in mind. As this research is based on classroom teaching so more focus is kept on lesson planning and its execution. Lesson planning should not only be the responsibility of a trained and experienced teacher rather it should be the essential feature of a professional teacher. Lesson planning is the central part of the teaching learning process. It is concerned with handful knowledge of our learners and their learning background, the curriculum, contends of the text and the teaching context. 1: Importance of Lesson Planning in Classroom Teaching 1.1: Produces Unified Lessons Jensen, (2001) says that proper lessen planning produces cohesive lessons in class room teaching which obviously benefits the students and create a unified professionalism in teachers. He also argues that lesson planning produces creativity and novelty in teaching methodology. Teacher thinks beyond traditional and repetitive plan and creates something new in classroom. It helps the teacher to think of SMART objectives, the type of activities that will meet these objectives, the proper order of those activities, the teaching resource material, the time management, grouping of the students etc. Teacher can also reflect on the relationship between the one activity and the other. Teacher not only reflects on the current plan but can also compare the lesson with past/ future lessons. This type of planning benefits the teacher to meet the balance between learning objectives and assessments through this learning connections explicit more meaningful to learners.

  • 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.

  • Vowel Harmony in Chiru Mechek Sampar Awan, Ph.D
    ================================================================= Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 17:7 July 2017 UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ================================================================ Vowel Harmony in Chiru Mechek Sampar Awan, Ph.D. Scholar ================================================= Abstract This paper is an attempt to describe vowel harmony in Chiru. Chiru is an endangered Kuki-Chin language of Tibeto-Burman language family (Grierson 1904) spoken by 8599 speakers (Census of India: 2011). Harmony is a term used in phonology to refer to the way the articulation of one phonological unit is influenced by another unit in the same word or phrase (Crystal 1997). An analogous notion is that of assimilation. The two main processes are consonant harmony and vowel harmony. Interestingly vowel harmony is found only in a few languages among Kuki-Chin groups, viz., Biate, Chiru etc. Most of the Kuki-Chin languages like Thadou, do not have vowel harmony. The vowel harmony in Chiru mainly occurs in pronominal prefixes and genitives of the first and third persons, causative prefixes, numeral prefixes and a few disyllabic words. This phonological process in Chiru is due to the regressive assimilation of vowels in which the vowel phoneme in the first syllable is influenced by the vowel phoneme in the following syllable to become identical to each other in a word. Keywords: Chiru, Kuki-Chin, Vowel harmony Introduction Chiru, the language spoken by the Chiru people, belongs to the Kuki-Chin group of the Tibeto-Burman language family (Grierson 1904). Chiru is one of the thirty-three recognised tribal languages of Manipur. The total population of Chiru speakers is only 8599 (census of India: 2011).

  • Morphological Analyzer for Kokborok
    Morphological Analyzer for Kokborok Khumbar Debbarma1 Braja Gopal Patra2 Dipankar Das3 Sivaji Bandyopadhyay2 (1) TRIPURA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Agartala, India (2) JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY, Kolkata, India (3) NATIONAL INSTITUTE_OF TECHNOLOGY, Meghalaya, India [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],[email protected] ABSTRACT Morphological analysis is concerned with retrieving the syntactic and morphological properties or the meaning of a morphologically complex word. Morphological analysis retrieves the grammatical features and properties of an inflected word. However, this paper introduces the design and implementation of a Morphological Analyzer for Kokborok, a resource constrained and less computerized Indian language. A database driven affix stripping algorithm has been used to design the Morphological Analyzer. It analyzes the Kokborok word forms and produces several grammatical information associated with the words. The Morphological Analyzer for Kokborok has been tested on 56732 Kokborok words; thereby an accuracy of 80% has been obtained on a manual check. KEYWORDS : Morphology Analyzer, Kokborok, Dictionary, Stemmer, Prefix, Suffix. Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on South and Southeast Asian Natural Language Processing (SANLP), pages 41–52, COLING 2012, Mumbai, December 2012. 41 1 Introduction Kokborok is the native language of Tripura and is also spoken in the neighboring states like Assam, Manipur, Mizoram as well as the countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar etc., comprising of more than 2.5 millions1 of people. Kokborok belongs to the Tibeto-Burman (TB) language falling under the Sino language family of East Asia and South East Asia2. Kokborok shares the genetic features of TB languages that include phonemic tone, widespread stem homophony, subject- object-verb (SOV) word order, agglutinative verb morphology, verb derivational suffixes originating from the semantic bleaching of verbs, duplication or elaboration.
