Use of dictionaries is an integral part of language learning and teaching. With the availability of smartphones, EFL, ESL and ESP students can access and download a variety of specialized mobile dictionaries Apps (MDAs). Specialized MDAs are of special importance for students learning English for engineering, business, and computer science purposes. They contain thousands of essential specialize technical terms covering several sub-categories within the engineering, business and computer science fields. They are a good tool for enriching the students’ specialized vocabulary and helping them learn faster and remember more in a shorter time. This article aims to show ESP instructors examples of engineering, computer science and business MDAs available in the Google Play or Apple Stores; how specialized MDAs can be located; criteria for selecting specialized MDAs; the lexicographical features of specialized MDA and instructional stages with MDAs. Instruction with MDAs goes through three stages: pre-task, task, and post-task phases. The instructor serves as a facilitator. She can help students find and download MDAs that meet their needs and purposes and match their proficiency level; gives pre-questions; and follows the students up to make sure they are making the best use of MDAs. The article concludes with some recommendations for ESP pedagogy with MDAs.

The contemporary world is growing rapidly in the field of urbanization, liberalization, globalisation and modernization, but on the other hand, all this development has emerged a worldwide phenomenon regarding regional disparity. Regional disparity is a common fact in both developing and developed economies. Across India's different regions and states, development and growth has not been distributed fairly and has given rise to the threat of regional inequality. In India, each of 28 states has its own disparities regarding socio-economic indicators with other states; among them few states e.g. Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, etc. have already attained rapid economic development Whereas, other regions or states e.g. Bihar, Odisha and Jharkhand, etc. have attained less development. India is a diverse nation with a massive population disparity in social and economic development, employment, and infrastructure facilities across the regions and within regions that have been a major challenge to policymakers and economists. Main objective of the study is to understand the concept of regional imbalances. The paper highlights the causes and consequences of disparities in inter-regions, inter-state and intra-regions in India. The paper describes also the measurements implemented by Indian policy makers in India to reduce the problem. The paper reveals suggestions to reduce the disparities in Indian context.

Indian English fiction writers have made their particular assertions about tribals which are incomplete therefore; we do not find much reality in their novels. In the novels like The Strange Case of Billy Biswas, The Princess, The White Tiger and The English August, we find the unauthentic representation of the tribal life. In every novel, tribal life and characters are shown dependable on mainstream heroes for the help. Novelist’s tribal women and man, surrender to mainstream sophisticated social arrangements. In most of the novels, they consider the non-tribal person as god and savior for them who is outsider of their tribal territory. This is a kind of internal orientalism. The political victimization of the tribal is the colonial phenomena. Mainstream writers assume that the tribals are the uncivilized and no need of cultivation hence tribals are the community for political victimization. Mainstream literatures have never depicted their victimization on ground realities and given place in mainstream canonical literature. This research article tries to examine the displacement and distortion of Adivasi life in the selected novels written in Indian English.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role that marketing strategy plays as a determining element in the decision-making process of consumers. The current study made use of the quantitative research approach by customizing a questionnaire based on information gleaned from academic sources. This particular study had a sample size of 162 participants, all of whom were selected at random throughout the selection process. According to the findings, penetration pricing exerts a substantial and beneficial impact on the decision-making process of consumers at the 5% level. According to the findings, price skimming has a substantial and favorable effect on the decision-making process of consumers at the 5% level. According to the findings, marketing sharing websites have a considerable beneficial impact on the decision-making process of consumers at the 5% level. The findings indicate that blogs have a considerable and beneficial effect on the decision-making process of consumers at the 5% level. According to the findings, competitive pricing has a substantial and favorable impact on the choice-making process of consumers at the 5% level. Furthermore, every beta value exceeds the.001 threshold. All of the models have extremely high adjusted R2, which indicates that the models are very capable of explaining the variance in consumer decision-making that is caused by the variation in the independent variables. The F-value demonstrates that the explanatory variables are jointly statistically significant in the model, and the Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics demonstrate that there is autocorrelation in the models. Both of these findings are supported by the model's positive autocorrelation.

This study aimed at investigating the influence of sports and games in enhancing students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Nyamagana district. The study employed mixed research approach and convergent research design. The participants involved in this study were 87 students, 8 sports and games teachers and 4 head of schools making the total of 99 respondents. Also, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. Moreover, the quantitative data were analyzed using statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic data analysis. The findings of this study revealed that students’ participation in sports and games bring positive impacts on their academic performance. Sports and games promote cooperation and good relationship between students, teachers and other academicians. Also it was revealed that different challenges which face public schools in implementing sports and games were, lack of expert teachers in sports, lack of funds, poor government support, lack of sports and games facilities, lack of enough play grounds, and students’ misbehavior. Also, the findings identified different strategies schools should do to enhance sports and games successful such, giving rewards, sports competition, well planning of sports and games programs and lastly but not the least is dedicating enough time for sports. The study recommended that, in order to implement sports and games in public secondary schools, government should promote good policies which favor sports and games in secondary schools, and establishing sports and games academy for children, may help others to grow up with their carrier.

Bhutan is a small landlocked country that lies between the two most populous countries in the world India and China, with a total area of 38,394 square kilometers. A peaceful mountainous kingdom in the Himalayas mandated free education to all children of school-going age up to the 12 th standard. Recognizing that education is the fundamental link to national progress, the Royal Government of Bhutan has always and will continue to emphasize education as a priority sector, In doing so, through a dynamic professional health system in the country, Bhutan has made enormous strides in the field of education that promote healthy and happy school children. However, as Bhutan steadily proceeds along its development path, substantial challenges remain, including the dietary habits of an adolescent in higher secondary schools. Therefore, this paper intends to explore the dietary habits among adolescents in higher secondary school. And this will contribute empirical data evidence for the policy framers and implements of the nutrition department at higher authority and school level to improve the dietary habits of adolescents.
