RELEVANCE OF LISTENING AND SPEAKING FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL VOYAGE

Abstract

With the rapid globalization, the engineers are facing lot of novel challenges every day. They have to communicate with the entire world –with the people of various cultures, backgrounds and nationalities. The greatest challenge is to work as a team, for which effective communication is a must. It is communication and its related skills which decide a person’s career curve. Listening and speaking are an important aid to communication. Listening is an everyday affair. This skill is used very often in human interaction but a skill which very few people perform well. Engineering professionals have to master this skill to achieve success. The higher the post in an office, the greater is the responsibility involved in listening. Only a good listener can become a good communicator. Again speaking effectively and powerfully is a skill that is really worth learning. An engineer has to speak with his clients, colleagues, suppliers or the general public. He has to express his ideas, plans, reports etc. clearly and in a well-organized way; failure to which may affect his reputation as well as his career goals.

BRIDGING BOUNDARIES: AMITAV GHOSH’S THE SHADOW LINES

Abstract

Amitav Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines is an attempt to show the blurring of borders or lines. The natives of the colonized country become travelers who go to England, the country of their colonizers, whereas in a conventional colonial novel the westerners are made to travel to India. The political and social upheavals are not depicted in a straightforward manner in the novel but each of the characters lives through the emotional trauma that is a consequence of these happenings. The metaphor of travel is a means of bridging boundaries and bringing about cultural crossings. It is carried out throughout the entire time span covered by the novel and through all the characters. His characters move in so many directions and ultimately the identity of a distinct and discrete homeland becomes blurred. The world becomes one big home- the real home that lies in one’s memory and consciousness away from all lines.

Keywords: Borders, travel, political, social, colonizer, colonized.

A RESEARCH AND IMPORTANCE IN PROMOTING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING FOR BACKWARD REGIONS IN TELANGANA

Abstract

Expansion of access to education in rural areas of Telangana, and the resultant increase of students in schools are greatly impacting English language teaching in India. Traditionally, the focus of teaching and testing has been on reading and writing. The emphasis on speaking and listening skills are driven by societal demand and an evaluation program. English is a widely spoken language today. It has often been referred to as ‘global language’, the lingua franca of the modern era and currently the language most often taught as a second language around the world. English in rural areas is used not only for communicating with the outside world, but also for inter-state and intrastate communication. Because of the great ethnic and linguistic diversity found within our nation, English acts as an indispensable ‘link’ language.
