Hello everyone,   Here I sharing my views about the movie “ waiting for Godot” Act-1.         “In this movie waiting for Godot” the five characters are- Vladimir,Estragon,pozzo,lucky and messenger boy. Vladimir and Estragon are two main characters in this movie. Vladmir and Estragon who call each other Gogo and Didi.Both are tramps.

Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse

1). Virginia Woolf representations of continuous flow in “ To The Lighthouse” the narrator talk in the third individual and depict characters and activity or we can say that story creates through the stream of consciousness in the mind of the characters. Virginia Woolf has frequently utilized this procedure to give the novel its uncommon character of appearing to be dependably inside the awareness of the main characters. She tries to parody of that force structure so that is likewise continuous how procedure, for instance Mrs. Ramsey needed to make her girl like her, so we can think about Virginia Woolf and her little girls in the novel. Second thing is “stream Of Consciousness” is style of writing. In narrative technique use two basic types of inferior monologue: 1.        Direct monologue: Either completely or largely excludes it. 2.        Indirect monologue: omniscient author present unspoken material. 2). Mrs. Ramsey was central character in the novel. She was depicte

English for specific purposes

English for specific purposes by  Tony Dudley -Evans         English for specific purposes its own approaches,mterials-driven and as a very active,even 'feisty' movement that has had considerable influence over the more general activities of TESOL(teaching English speaker of the language). Esp has always seen itself as material-driven and classroom-based activity concerned with practical outcomes.

“Teaching English as a second language in india:Focus on Objectives-SHIVENDRA K. VERMA

My views on “Teaching English as a second language in india:Focus on Objectives-SHIVENDRA K. VERMA     English is a symbol of linguistic centralism in India.

“Teaching of English: A plea for practical Attitude”-R.K.SINGH

My views on “Teaching of English:  A plea for practical Attitude”-R.K.SINGH      English in India is a potential national resource.it is important to develop tolerance and positive attitudes towards English.     English has been long adopted and firmly established as a link language by our national leaders during and after the freedom struggle not only for mutual communication and coexistence but also for Saving the republic from small state nationalism.      English is also already functioning as a link language in the present day global village,not necessarily for reasons of quality or superiority but for political and historical reasons.         If teacher accept their aim of teach English well, and if they want to ensure that their pupils should achieve a basic command of the language, than they must.. i.Encourage a teaching programme. ii.Pursue such teaching activities. iii.Flexible teaching approach.                These are the three didactic aims of teaching
