This study focuses on the psycho-sociolinguistic aspects of Foreign Language Learning. The main questions discussed and analyzed in this study are firstly, what attitudes students actually have towards learning a foreign language and secondly, the motivating factors behind that attitude. This study has been conducted on the students of the Department of English, University of Dhaka and on the students of the Department of English University of Information Technology and Sciences (UITS). This paper has benefited from the quantitative method. The study examines the impact of students’ motivation and attitudes while learning a foreign language. This study also shed light on the question whether it is true that social factors have roles to play in language learning or not. It has been demonstrated that motivation has a major role to play while learning a second language. The findings of this study are analyzed in the light of previous research published in this field.

While teaching, a clear course plan will enable a teacher to present the assigned course in a smooth and effective way. It’s not enough to know the text you’re going to teach. As an experienced teacher, I introduce this introductory suggested course plan as a model that might be adopted and modified according to the surrounding circumstances a teacher may find her/himself in. Many factors can interfere and cause changes, such as the time limit, the number of students, their level, and so on. As a result, rather than leaving everything to chance, I present this course plan, hoping that colleagues and readers will think about it and consider utilizing it.

Ambai’s “A Kitchen in the Corner of The House” signifies the place and position of a woman in a household which is confined in one corner of the house as ‘Kitchen’. There are some stereotypes who still believe that the terms kitchen, cooking, washing, nurturing, raising the kids and cleaning belong to the women. Hence, it is evident that house-keeping and child-rearing well describes a woman’s identity and fertility. A woman is believed to be physically delicate and exhibit kindness. But often her kindness is mistaken as weakness and subjugates her as a life-time slave in the name of marriage. Though a man has been assigned to play the role for upholding moral values and work as engineers, a woman is imprisoned in the corner of the house as portrayed in the short story “A Kitchen in the corner of the House”. This paper analyses the relativity of food and femininity; and how it remains closely connected even in the 21st century.

Marriage in Indian concept is undoubtedly knotted with chastity and fulfillment of duties towards spouses. A persistent view of the society inclines these so- called virtues solely to women- the gender that plays the role of ‘relationship savior’ in most of the marriages. Githa Hariharan, an editor and well known Indian writer in her first novel ‘The Thousand Faces of Night’, chose to position women in an arena of idealizing themselves as perfect married off ladies in the society. The three central figures of the novel, Devi, her Amma, Sita and Grandmother are seen in different sequences speaking and performing acts of ‘dharma’ or duties to life. in relation to the enactment of their corresponding roles such as wife, daughter in law , mother and numerous other which does not fall under the roof of marital bonds. Devi’s grandmother takes her through flights of mythical stories and seals her within the walls of trust and fidelity in a married life. The female central character ponders over each story narrated to her by her grandmother and hears mind voices thus placing herself in a world of Social Imaginary. The imaginary (or social imaginary) is the set of values, institutions, laws, and symbols through which people imagine their social whole. It is common to the members of a particular social group and the corresponding society.

Steinbeck Cup of Gold begins by page two to discuss Morgan’s early career and plans for capturing Panama. He provides general background for his specific story of Morgan; the century old struggle between Spain and England for the new world and the colonization of their possessions in the West Indies. The rest of the story describes the gathering of the forces, the invasion, the looting and destruction of the city, and Morgan’s meeting and parting with the lady in InfraRed. Cup of Gold is the first work known for thematic structure, character, symbols and imagery. This article explores the detailed analysis of Cup of Gold as aseminal novel.

“You know her as a mother, daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law. But seldom as a woman ... And maybe never as a human.” (Goyal)These above lines are true. Men do not understand woman and they blame it on women saying, women are difficult to understand. Down the ages, the plight of woman in our country remains the same, while the scenario is differently presented in the media. The truth is woman are still victimised at the hands of this patriarchal society. Director Vasanth’s Sivaranjiniyum Innum Sila Pengalum (2021) is one of the exceptional cases. The movie portrays the plight of woman, true to the core. The movie takes its origin from literature. Amidst the commercial masala films, this anthology movie is a laurel on the head of Tamil Cinema. The movie touches upon various aspects of womens’ issues and how are they dealt with. It also presents how they end up as victims and most significantly, it shows how the fake scenario is constructed brilliantly to cloud people’s vision from seeing what is truly happening in reality. This paper is an attempt to touch upon the pluralistic aspects that is present throughout the movie and to ponder over those issues.
“你知道她是一位母亲、女儿、姐妹、妻子、儿媳。但很少作为一个女人……也许作为人类永远不会。(戈亚尔)以上这些都是真的。男人不理解女人，他们把这归咎于女人说，女人很难理解。古往今来，我国妇女的困境一直没有改变，只是媒体上的报道有所不同。事实是，女性仍然是这个男权社会的受害者。瓦桑特导演的《Sivaranjiniyum Innum Sila Pengalum》(2021)就是一个例外。这部电影真实地描绘了女性的困境。这部电影来源于文学作品。在商业马萨拉电影中，这部选集电影是泰米尔电影头上的桂冠。这部电影触及了妇女问题的各个方面，以及她们是如何处理的。它还展示了他们是如何最终成为受害者的，最重要的是，它展示了虚假的场景是如何被巧妙地构建起来，蒙蔽了人们的视野，使他们看不到现实中真正发生的事情。本文试图触及贯穿整部电影的多元化方面，并对这些问题进行思考。

Tradition, culture, religion all these are too much cling to human life and society. Traditions, cultures include some events, customs, rituals of the society. Most of the society of different countries set many events, customs and rituals to be performed by women. And when it is about African American women, who have been discriminated throughout ages for their race class and gender. The women are underrated, marginalized in the society. They are treated as slaves under go many struggles i.e. race, class, gender discrimination. These women are deprived of their basic rights. By maintaining the values of the tradition these women forget the value of their own Life, Identity and Body. They have been affected psychologically and also faces trauma. To bring all the truth behind the traditions and to emancipate these women, some African-American women writers come to the front and make these African-American women realise about their self-esteem, selfhood through their writers. They paved way for the liberation of African-American women. Among the praiseworthy writers Alice Walker is another, who is not only a writer, but also an activist. She rises voice for the betterment and settlement of subjugated women. This paper brings light on the horrible practice of Female Genital Mutilation in Alice Walker’s Possessing the Secret of Joy. Removing female genital parts for the pleasure of man and in the name of tradition which brings trauma to the African women.

Beatrice Mosionier’s debut novel In Search of April Raintree reveals much of her own traumatic experience that she has beautifully framed with realistic depictions. It not only deals with her personal life but also it implicitly deals with the life of many Canadian women who experience similar kind of issues in the Canadian multicultural society. The most common issues are racism, alcoholism, prostitution, and other social challenges that have been strongly voiced by Mosionier in the novel. Moreover, social oppression and individual transformation have been framed parallel in the novel to highlight the conflict part of the novel. Further, the central characters of the novel, the twin sisters April and Cheryl Raintree’s two different perspectives of life indicate a clear message of victimization by all the oppressive powers. Further, the difference in the attitude of the two sisters, their determination and resolution gain a prime importance in the plot of the novel. Hence, a thematic study upon these matters would give a detailed outlook to the novel.
