  • Grammar-Translation Method” (Gtm); a Second Thought
    VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL) Vol.4 Issue 3 An International Peer Reviewed Journal 2017 http://www.joell.in RESEARCH ARTICLE LEARNING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE THROUGH “GRAMMAR-TRANSLATION METHOD” (GTM); A SECOND THOUGHT. Talluri Venkata Rao (Assistant Professor of English, Sri Chundi Ranganayakulu Engineering College, Andhra Pradesh, India.) Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Grammar-Translation Method is the oldest method to learn a foreign language. With time new methods are invented, still the importance of grammar learning holds a unique place to obtain accuracy in the target language, specifically in the development of reading and writing skills. The purpose of this research paper is to eradicate the fear of learners by introducing innovative use of learning-teaching material to create a trauma- free grammar learning environment for the contemporary learners. In this study a chronological order of the evolution regarding the language learning method, approach & technique is maintained for the benefit of the learners & academicians in order to understand the actual position of grammar with its advantages. It is also an attempt to overcome the disadvantages through a moderate method, the summum bonum of this authentic analysis. The trend of learning a foreign language (for example English) is increasing day by day but the contradiction among nineteen learning methods is always there, that’s why this is an attempt of the present writer to focus on a learner-friendly module with a crystal clear outlook on the importance of the technical aspect of English language learning. Keywords: Classical, Limitation, Reactions, Advantages, Facilitator, Lexical, Cost-effectiveness, Reading, Writing, Remodulation, Task.

The notion of effectiveness has been strongly linked with the different views of what language is, how teaching should be done, who is a good teacher/ learner, what roles should teachers and learners have in the classroom, and what the relationship between the classroom and the outside world should be (in other words, what the purpose of classroom instruction should be). In addition, the “effectiveness” of classroom strategies can be measured against a long list of fac- tors depending on how the purpose of classroom instruction is perceived by the different educational stakeholders (teachers, parents, educationalists, students, etc.). As a result, the effectiveness of classroom strategies can be measured, among many other factors, against whether or not (a) they allow the students to achieve highly on summative assignments, (b) they develop important skills that students will need to use in out-of-class settings, and (c) they make the students enjoy the process of learning and therefore become key developing practitioners of learning (Allwright & Hanks, 2009).

  • Applied Eugenics
    CHAPTER XV IMMIGRATION There are now in the United States some 14,000,000 foreign-born persons, together with other millions of the sons and daughters of foreigners who although born on American soil have as yet been little assimilated to Americanism. This great body of aliens, representing perhaps a fifth of the population, is not a pool to be absorbed, but a continuous, inflowing stream, which until the outbreak of the Great War was steadily increasing in volume, and of which the fountain-head is so inexhaustible as to appal the imagination. From the beginning of the century, the inflow averaged little less than a million a year, and while about one-fifth of this represented a temporary migration, four-fifths of it meant a permanent addition to the population of the New World. The character of this stream will inevitably determine to a large extent the future of the American nation. The direct biological results, in race mixture, are important enough, although not easy to define. The indirect results, which are probably of no less importance to eugenics, are so hard to follow that some students of the problem do not even realize their existence. The ancestors of all white Americans, of course, were immigrants not so very many generations ago. But the earlier immigration was relatively homogeneous and stringently selected by the dangers of the voyage, the hardships of life in a new country, and the equality of opportunity where free competition drove the unfit to the wall. There were few people of eminence in the families that came to colonize North America, but there was a high average of sturdy virtues, and a good deal of ability, particularly in the Puritan and Huguenot invasions and in a part of that of Virginia.

  • A REVIEW of VARIOUS ELT METHODS Rev Fr Dr a Rex Angelo SJ
    VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL) Vol.3 An International Peer Reviewed Journal Spl.Issue 1 http://www.joell.in 2016 RESEARCH ARTICLE A REVIEW OF VARIOUS ELT METHODS Rev Fr Dr A Rex Angelo SJ (Director, Loyola ELT Research Centre,Andhra Loyola College (Autonomous), Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh) ABSTRACT Learning English is a complex process involving many factors pertaining to the teachers and their pedagogical approaches on the one hand and the learners and their learning situations on the other. It is crucial to recognise the complexity and diversity which are the direct consequences of the inter-play of these two sets of factors. It is essential to take into consideration how ELT pedagogy has been evolving over many years before we address the pertinent question of which ELT method is the best. Keywords: Second language acquisition, Language acquisition device, L1 & L2, ELT pedagogy, communicative approach, learner-centred orientation. © Copyright VEDA Publication INTRODUCTION Second language acquisition (SLA) is a complex process involving many inter-related factors. Noam Chomsky rightly points out that the language acquisition device (the innate psychological capacity for learning one’s mother tongue) which plays a vital role while learning one’s L1 is no more available for individuals to acquire their L2. Therefore, Learning English as L2 is the outcome of a process involving many factors pertaining to the teachers and their pedagogical approaches on the one hand and the learners and their learning situations on the other. It is crucial to recognise the complexity and diversity which are the direct consequences of the inter- play of these two sets of factors.

  • Methods, Aspects and Components of Teaching the Uzbek (Russian) Language As a Foreign Language on the Experience of Foreign Students
    Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 4, 2020 Review Article METHODS, ASPECTS AND COMPONENTS OF TEACHING THE UZBEK (RUSSIAN) LANGUAGE AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE ON THE EXPERIENCE OF FOREIGN STUDENTS 1Aziza Aripova, 2Khurshida Khodjayeva, 3Nozima Yuldasheva 1PhD, Candidate of Philological Sciences, Department of Language Teaching, Tashkent State University of Law, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 2Lecturer, University of World Economy and Diplomacy, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 3Lecturer, Department of Language Teaching, Tashkent State University of Law, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. E-mail address: [email protected] Received: 03.12.2019 Revised: 09.01.2020 Accepted: 11.02.2020 Abstract The modern education system should form a holistic environment of knowledge, skills, as well as the experience of independent activity and personal responsibility of language learners. For the teacher, this is a transition from the transfer of knowledge to the creation of conditions for active knowledge and students to gain practical experience. For students - the transition from passive assimilation of information to its active search, critical reflection, use in practice. The main problem of the teacher is the search for methods for the development of educational competencies for students learning the language as a condition for ensuring the quality of the program. The article reveals some interesting methods of teaching the Uzbek language as a foreign language. Key words: communication, integration, productive cooperation, active teaching methods, disclosure of personality-individual opportunities, independent activity; development of cognitive processes - speech, memory. © 2019 by Advance Scientific Research.

There’s truly nothing like the KOTESOL International Conference, a great place to find support, encouragement, and inspiration. This is not just another international conference, though; I’m delighted to be welcoming you to a celebration of Korea TESOL’s 25th year. Anniversaries are a wonderful time for reflecting on the past, celebrating the present, and looking forward to the future—and this conference encourages all three! In honor of the organization’s silver anniversary, our conference committee has curated a collection of remembrances, presented under the banner “Korea TESOL at 25 Years.” As part of this program, attendees are invited to peruse images from the past two and a half decades; enjoy anecdotes and memories from some of the organization’s foundational “movers and shakers”; and, in exploring the manifold influences KOTESOL has had on the past, present, and future of current members, consider how the organization has influenced their own lives.
