Language Lab Review

What is Language Lab ? The Language Laboratories are becoming items better and better valued within educational institutions since the functions and possibilities they offer are much higher than the ones in the traditional teaching-learning system Moreover it is necessary to distinguish between language laboratory, language method and control software. A method in a procedural that guides teachers when, in turn, control software is a computer program that is used to control students' computers and to know what they are doing at all times. Instead, a language lab goes beyond, a language lab can integrate the method we want to use allowing further development of a large number of different activities in the classroom, the communication between teachers and students, using multimedia material, etc. taking into account at the same time the functions of control software. Language immersion, attention to diversity, teamwork promotion, etc. are just some of the outstanding features...

Thinking Activity : ON@TCC

1. Comment on Narrative structure of the Novel. Compare it with that of Life of Pi. Ans : One night@ call center is a frame story. It takes place when author on a train journey from Kanpur to Delhi. At that time he meets one beautiful girl. After some conversation she tells the story to the author. She also make a condition that he will write it. When author makes a story he puts shyam mehra as the narrator and protagonist. In story representation of God  to direct all the characters. So, it can be said that entire story is dream sequence of author like God or beautiful lady. Yan Martel' s ' Life of Pi ' have same narrative like on@cc . Same beginning like story from the person who is also character in the story. First person narration in both the novel. Narration of God and experience with God of characters that all are similar narratives. 2. What do you understand by Self-help book ? Is On@cc is self-help book ? Illustrate. Ans : Self - Help means self - gui...

The character of Kurtz mainly remains in the center.      The narrator of the novella is Marlow. Who tells the whole story.  It criticises the so called idea of civilization.  For that writer has used the symbols of river Thames and Congo.        It seems that they are so civilized but it is not so,  as we have seen in the novel that how cruel and cunning Kurtz is.  At the end we can see the situation becomes that much worst that he couldn't get out from the "station." The last words of Kurtz suggest a deep meaning..." The Horror,  The Horror!

Image
The central character of Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape is Yank, a fireman, or someone who stokes the coal furnace of transatlantic ships. He is brutish and opinionated. Yank is leader of the firemen and the play opens with him hanging out with his coworkers in the forecastle of the ship. Though he is able to command their attention easily, they don't hesitate to make fun of how he speaks. Yank mocks a fellow fireman when the fireman stands up to make a speech about how they are in a hell created by the upper class.      For upper class these lower class people are like pawns.

The Slave's Dream by H. W. Longfellow

Image
In The Slave’s Dream, a negro slave is lying in a farm and remembers his native land. He dreams of his past life when he was roaming freely on the African continent. He remembers his beloved and affectionate family and tears fall onto the sand.  He is probably a warrior and leader of a tribal clan and is well respected. He rides around on his horse with his sword and is watching out for any impending doom. He follows the amazing flight of flamingo birds and reaches a human settlement of huts. He then wanders all around the breathtaking African landscape with its fascinating wildlife. The poet is talking about people coming together and raising their voices for freedom. During this point in the dream, the “slave” smiles at the thought of the advent of freedom and liberty across the landscape. The “slave” then passes away, finally resting in peace, oblivious to the torture of the “overseer” or the scorching heat.  His tragic soul has finally sets free at death.   ...

The Soldier by Rupert Brooke

Image
This sonnet finds a soldier speculating as he goes away to war about his possible death, which he feels should not be mourned, but understood as part of a selfless tribute to his much-loved England.      This is a sophisticated patriotic response to the First World War that can be contrasted with the more xenophobic and crude patriotism of poets like Jessie Pope and Rudyard Kipling— or at least Kipling’s early responses to the war. Brooke’s characteristic blend of intellectual and emotional power is in evidence, though some may find the poem troubling: the notion of an English heaven suggests, after all, that there is something special about England, in no less eyes than those of God. Can there be, in such a time of war, such a thing as a German heaven? Brooke is certainly aware of the dangers of projecting our own ideas and prejudices onto heaven. His amusing 1913 poem heaven about fish heaven, makes that clear: “of all their wish,” he declares, “There shall be...
