Whenever teachers teach, it is expected that learners participate actively. However, reality reveals that there are occasions when learners do not participate/ engage. In Rizal Technological University, the same dilemma is observed among the learners. Teachers perceived the learners to be inadequate in terms of communication skills. In most cases, learners are judged according to their classroom performance. Thus, the general view is that students’ level of proficiency does not meet the standards set for College students. At one point, the teacher’s measure of the students learning is through test. However, how valid is the test given to determine the students acquisition of the expected competence? This study finds out if the test taken by the students in their English 3 subject enhances their speech and oral communication and influences their class performance. Moreover, the paper aims to analyse the given test in terms of its general features, validity, effectiveness, applicability and conformity to the syllabus. In addition, the study intends to assess the general perception of the test takers towards the test.

Twelve communities, 3 each from the 4 local governments selected from each of the 4 agricultural zones of the state were selected. Six of the communities were desert prone and the other six were water prone communities. About 335 smallholder farmers were selected using multistage sampling procedure and data collection was conducted using structured questionnaire and Focus group discussion. Data were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics, food security index and multiple regression model. The results showed that 88% of the smallholder farmers were food insecured,85% feed twice a day,70% doesn’t eats to satisfaction52% produced food that last for <= 6 months and 98% doesn’t access food at affordable prices. Regression coefficient of household size, age of household head, level of education, membership of farmer group, contact with development agent and size of farmland under cultivation were all negative. How ever, regression coefficient in relation to household size (P>0.000),age of household head (P> 0.000),level of education (P> 0.010) and contact with development agent (P>0.041) were positive while size of farmland under cultivation (P>0.794) and membership of farmer group (P>0.169) were negative.

The stature of the teacher has shortened. His social behavior, his philosophy and his hunger for money have lowered him in the eyes of students and the society both. When we say that a person possesses an aptitude for teaching, it is presumed that he has a good proportion of traits required for becoming successful teacher. The magnitude of these traits may differ from one person to another and even the number of traits possessed by each person may vary. A system succeeds or fails; a technique proves useful or otherwise in the hands of the teachers who implement the same. It is therefore, the teacher who is the pivot of all work in education. Though there has been the importance of education in all the places and ages, its importance has become more and more necessary in the democratic society of today. It is hoped that with the present study it will be possible to find out if there is correlation between Teaching Aptitude and teachers. To become effective and good teacher, one requires various qualities but Teaching Aptitude is one of the potent and influential qualities for a person desirous of becoming a good and effective teacher. The result confirms that there is a significant difference between the Male and Female teachers of the sample in the area of Teaching Aptitude’, at level, 0.05. And male teachers are found better than Female teaches in the field of Teaching Aptitude. Swiss replica watches best UK rolex replica watches are of high quality.

A STUDY OF THE ETHNOGRAPHIC OBSERVATION TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES BASED ON PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

Nitin Chhikara 25/08/2017 Page: 100-102

Carole Mc Granahan, in the article (2018) attempts to define the essence of ethnography. This attempt is mired with multiple ideas, but the focus on ethnographic sensibility is central. It is, she defines as, "the cultivation of a sense of the ethnographic as the lived expectations, complexities, contradictions, possibilities and grounds of any given cultural group." (p 1) Carole distinguishes ethnography from all other methods and proves its uniqueness. Ethnographic sensibility is the sense of living the ethnographical space itself. She believes that what is needed is not just the quantity of ethnographies done but the infusion of this sensibility into its study. The common barrier to the recognition of this sensibility is the blurring of lines between what is 'ethnographic' and what is not ethnographic. It is both ontological and epistemological, and hence this duality becomes unnoticeable at times because the researcher finds himself in the same reality. She writes how ethnography, a method used since the beginning of anthropology, has changed its definition. Now, it is not just a method to know something, but by itself is a "way of knowing" (p 3).

Human relations are enormously complex in nature. They not only tend to operate on different levels, but it is through them that the entire persona of the individual is manifested and reflected. Shashi Deshpande being an illustrious and distinguished novelist writing in English conjures up numerous and distinct shades of relationship in almost all her novels. Her characters come from different walks of life and present a diverse panorama comprising the different shades and hues. It is through these relationships that her protagonists grow and manifest themselves in the face of threats and challenges in the world. Deshpande’s novels display a whole range of characters that go on stultifying the rituals and traditions which thwart the very existence of women in our society. This short paper is an attempt to trace the struggle of the protagonist, Manjari, in the novel Moving On to free herself from the smothering and stifling constraints in order to admire and embrace a spontaneous celebration of life. It will also take into consideration how in order to bring out the meaningful definitions, life yields self-knowledge which imparts strength, fortitude and wisdom to her to confront the challenges that life throws up.

Language is the medium of exchange of ideas. The more intelligible, simple and easy the language, the more successful and powerful the communication will be. In the tradition, history and development of Indian languages, Hindi has the same place and importance as that of Sanskrit in the 'Pura' period. At present, Hindi language remains the contact language of people not only in India but also abroad. Almost half of India's population is basically Hindi speaking and it uses Hindi only for mutual exchange of views. In fact, language is the mirror of the history of a country, in which the future can also be seen. Hindi is the pride of India and in the development and propagation of Hindi, a glimpse of India's future can be seen in reality. Today, the form of Hindi has become global, it is strengthening its hold at the international level, as well as it is constantly seeking its form.

EXISTENTIALISM IN THE SELECT NOVELS OF ANITA DESAI AND ANITA NAIR

Dr G Ramamurthy 19/10/2017 Page: 131-142

. Download PDF

Anita Desai and Anita Nair as the novelists, strongly leans towards the existentialist understanding of the human condition. In particular, Anita Desai gives voice to "themute miseries and helplessness of married women tormented by existentialist problems and predicaments". Both, as female novelists, have carved out a unique space for herself by writing about women's emotions and revealing the underlying mechanisms at play in feminine sensibility and psychology. This bias compels her to investigate how her female protagonists process the absurdity of their situations. This makes them think about the more sinister aspects of life. By putting their female heroines in dangerous situations, they convey a melancholy perspective in their stories. They also analyse her female heroes as unique people who must persevere despite living in hostile environments. Existential anxiety is a symptom of this terrible conflict between the individual and their adverse surroundings.
