T.P. Kailasam’s play, Fulfilment, is a fascinating account of the confrontation from the Mahabharata’s Drona Parva between a vindicated and virtuous mortal, Eklavya, and a scheming divine, Krishna. T.P. Kailasam fictionalizes the Mahabharata myth of Ekalavya’s death in the hands of Krishna and weaves it into a powerful play of deceit and treachery in which the protagonist Eklavya tragically falls victim to the antagonist Krishna’s cunning act of treachery. The god, rather than protecting a virtuous human, has been shown as the one destroying him. This is entirely a new image of Krishna that T.P. Kailasam brings forward through this play, Fulfilment. The present paper aims to explore this tale of the divine antagonism from a fresh perspective.
凯拉萨姆(T.P. Kailasam)的戏剧《圆满》(Fulfilment)精彩地描述了《摩诃婆罗多》(Mahabharata)中德性高尚的凡人埃克拉维亚(Eklavya)与诡计多端的神奎师那(Krishna)之间的对抗。T.P.凯拉萨姆虚构了《摩诃婆罗多》中关于伊卡拉维亚死于克里希纳之手的神话,并将其编织成一出充满欺骗和背叛的强大戏剧,其中主角伊卡拉维亚不幸成为对手克里希纳狡猾背叛行为的受害者。神,而不是保护一个善良的人,已经表现为毁灭他的人。这是一个全新的奎师那形象,是T.P. Kailasam在他的戏剧《圆满》中呈现出来的。本文旨在从一个全新的视角来探讨这个关于神的对抗的故事。

The role of using translation in teaching and learning English as a second language has always been a much-debated issue. Practitioners who opt for bilingual approach suggest that the use of L1 in learning English as L2 benefits students to learn more efficiently since it’s directly associated with their ambiance and circumstances, the learning ensues quickly and effortlessly, wherever the supporters of monolingual approach propose that the single use of L2 in classroom assists and motivates students thinking competencies and increases their proficiency level. The use of L1 has also played a significant role in developing the reading skill for EFL/ESL learners. This quantitative study discusses the extent to which the faculty members of the University of Asia Pacific (UAP) use translation in teaching language courses for 1st-year students of 6 different departments at the tertiary level of education, mainly in clarifying new vocabulary, discussing grammatical rules and explaining reading and listening passages to develop reading skill in L2. The study also assesses students’ viewpoints of using translation in developing reading skills in English. The study concludes that most instructors and students consider using translation as it is very operative in developing the reading skill of English as L2 and suggests a guideline for teachers and learners as well.
翻译在英语作为第二语言教学中的作用一直是一个备受争议的问题。选择双语方法的实践者认为,在学习英语中使用第一语言作为第二语言有利于学生更有效地学习,因为它与他们的环境和环境直接相关,学习很快,毫不费力。而单语方法的支持者则认为,在课堂上使用第二语言有助于激发学生的思维能力,提高他们的熟练程度。母语的使用在培养EFL/ESL学习者的阅读技能方面也发挥了重要作用。本定量研究探讨了亚太大学(UAP)教师在高等教育6个不同院系的一年级学生的语言课程教学中使用翻译的程度,主要是在澄清新词汇、讨论语法规则、解释阅读和听力段落以培养第二语言的阅读技能。本研究还评估了学生在英语阅读技能培养中使用翻译的观点。研究得出结论,大多数教师和学生考虑使用翻译,因为它在培养英语作为第二语言的阅读技能方面非常有效,并为教师和学习者提供了指导。

The Effect of Teacher Attitudes on Students’ English Reading Proficiency 教师态度对学生英语阅读能力的影响

One of the most important language skills of a literate person is the skill to read. Reading means ‘reading and understanding’ (Ur, 1999). Students in Bangladesh go through a long process of education but still do not attain this skill proficiently; even at the secondary level of education they are unaware of the importance of reading. The English reading proficiency of students is dependent on the instruction they receive. Students do not realize that comprehension is the most important part of reading. The relationship between education and language is interdependent and failure to acquire language skills leads to failure in education. This study has focused on the attitude of teachers towards teaching English reading, how it affects their mode of instruction and how in turn this affects the reading proficiency of students. Analysis of results revealed that negative teacher attitude towards reading produces low proficiency readers of English. Research was carried out on both teachers and students. The results have shown that neither the students nor the teachers are aware of the reading strategies or sub-skills that they are required to employ while reading. Students do not know how to approach their reading materials, nor do they apply the reading strategies necessary for comprehension. The study has shown that the teachers themselves are not aware of these strategies and thus they cannot apply them to their teaching.
识字人最重要的语言技能之一是阅读能力。阅读意味着“阅读和理解”(Ur,1999)。孟加拉国的学生经历了漫长的教育过程,但仍未熟练掌握这项技能;即使在中学阶段,他们也没有意识到阅读的重要性。学生的英语阅读能力取决于他们所接受的教育。学生们没有意识到理解是阅读中最重要的部分。教育和语言之间的关系是相互依存的,没有掌握语言技能会导致教育失败。本研究的重点是教师对英语阅读教学的态度,它如何影响他们的教学模式,以及反过来又如何影响学生的阅读能力。结果分析表明,教师消极的阅读态度导致英语阅读能力低下。对教师和学生进行了研究。研究结果表明,学生和教师都不知道他们在阅读时需要使用的阅读策略或子技能。学生们不知道如何处理他们的阅读材料,也不应用理解所需的阅读策略。研究表明,教师自己并没有意识到这些策略,因此他们无法将其应用于教学中。

Most English language learners in SVIAS consider learning English as a complex, tiresome, and uninteresting endeavor. They face unprecedented trials and tribulations in learning English as an additional language. Therefore, finding ways to stimulate learner involvement and motivation has become important for English language teachers. Current teaching methods, materials, and resources seem inadequate to fulfill the students’ attitudes, skills, interests, and needs. This experimental study examines whether integrating visual arts activities contributes to positive results for the students who would like to improve their English language skills. In addition to the experimental study, classroom observations were conducted. Arts can make learning exciting, unforgettable, and interesting. The advantages of incorporating arts in education have been extensively delineated in recent studies. Using arts in English language teaching helps to make learning exciting and unforgettable, decrease language learning anxiety, improve classroom atmosphere, increase memory and motivation, and build rapport with learners. This study aims to show the impacts of using contents visual arts in the English language classroom. The findings can assist English language teachers in promoting the use of contents related to visual arts in English class to cater to a range of preferences, strengths, and learning styles.
SVIAS中的大多数英语学习者认为学习英语是一项复杂、乏味和无趣的努力。他们在学习英语这门附加语言时面临着前所未有的考验和磨难。因此,找到激发学习者参与和动机的方法对英语教师来说变得很重要。目前的教学方法、材料和资源似乎不足以满足学生的态度、技能、兴趣和需求。这项实验研究考察了整合视觉艺术活动是否有助于提高学生英语语言技能的积极结果。除了实验研究外,还进行了课堂观察。艺术可以使学习变得令人兴奋、难忘和有趣。在最近的研究中,艺术融入教育的优势已经得到了广泛的阐述。在英语教学中运用艺术有助于使学习变得令人兴奋和难忘,减少语言学习焦虑,改善课堂气氛,增加记忆力和动力,并与学习者建立融洽的关系。本研究旨在展示在英语课堂中使用内容视觉艺术的影响。研究结果有助于英语教师在英语课堂上推广视觉艺术相关内容的使用,以满足各种偏好、优势和学习风格。

The study aims at examining the representation of women in the English Language textbooks of Bangladesh for primary school learners. Existing research studies find the unfair manifestation of women both in occupational and domestic activities. However, the existing investigations indicate the necessity of further studies in this area. Therefore, the study explores whether women are projected appropriately in textbooks for young learners. With reference to critical theory, the analysis of data reveals that women are devalued in their unpaid domestic jobs. In addition, they are shown occupied in the less challenging occupations while men are shown in an extensive range of professions. The study also notices that whereas in contemporary Bangladesh, women are engaged in diversified professions, their contribution to society is often disregarded in the textbooks. Such a biased representation of women may affect the young learners adversely. Therefore, the study states the inevitability of raising consciousness among the textbook authors and suggests ensuring the appropriate projection of women in the textbooks.
这项研究的目的是审查妇女在孟加拉国小学英语教材中的代表性。现有的研究发现,妇女在职业和家庭活动中都表现出不公平。然而,现有的调查表明,在这方面的进一步研究是必要的。因此,本研究探讨女性是否被恰当地投射在年轻学习者的教科书中。参考批判理论,对数据的分析表明,妇女在无偿的家务劳动中被贬低了。此外,女性从事的是不那么具有挑战性的职业,而男性从事的则是广泛的职业。该研究还注意到,尽管在当代孟加拉国,妇女从事多种职业,但她们对社会的贡献往往在教科书中被忽视。这种对女性的偏见可能会对年轻学习者产生不利影响。因此,研究结果表明,提高教科书编写者的意识是不可避免的,并建议确保教科书中适当的女性形象。

Although smart writing skill is equally important in both academic and professional spheres, many Bangladeshi tertiary level learners find writing skills too difficult to be developed. In respect of this, the students are given many writing tasks (such as composing a five-paragraph essay) to improve their competencies in a language classroom. Anyhow, writing a good essay needs several cognitive steps that a student has to go through demanding a high level of motivation and constructive teacher feedback. Considering the fact, this paper has investigated tertiary level Bangladeshi learners’ perspectives about how the essay-writing tasks keep them motivated in class. This pilot project had been conducted using a set of 20 items (quantitative survey questionnaire), which was administered among thirty participants from the Department of English of a reputed Bangladeshi public university. The small-scale research revealed that the majority of the undergraduates stay motivated during the brainstorming part of essay writing tasks. However, many of them find the patterns of essays quite confusing. However, these learners believe more writing assignments, along with effective teacher feedback, can highly encourage them to develop their writing skills.
尽管聪明的写作技能在学术和专业领域都同样重要,但许多孟加拉国高等教育学生发现写作技能太难培养。在这方面,学生们被赋予了许多写作任务(比如写一篇五段的文章),以提高他们在语言课堂上的能力。无论如何,写一篇好的文章需要几个认知步骤,学生必须经历这些步骤,要求高水平的动机和建设性的教师反馈。考虑到这一事实,本文调查了孟加拉国高等教育学习者对论文写作任务如何使他们在课堂上保持积极性的看法。该试点项目使用了一套20项(定量调查问卷),由孟加拉国一所著名公立大学英语系的30名参与者进行管理。小规模的研究表明,大多数本科生在论文写作任务的头脑风暴部分保持积极性。然而,他们中的许多人发现散文的模式相当混乱。然而,这些学习者相信,更多的写作作业,以及有效的教师反馈,可以极大地鼓励他们发展写作技能。

The Pursuit of Social Justice in Kavery Nambisan’s The Hills of Angheri 卡维·南比桑《安盖里山》中的社会正义追求
IF 0.3 3区 文学 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-06-02 DOI: 10.34293/english.v8i3.3180
M. D. B. Sherin
This paper critically examines Kavery Nambisan’s novel The Hills of Angheri under the lens of Dr. Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach. The core concepts of this approach serve as critical tools in assessing the social inequities existing in Indian society. Kavery speaks about the massive inadequacy of healthcare and basic amenities found in rural places, especially in the village Angheri. Both Sen and Kavery aspire for the enhancement of a person’s well-being. They truly believe that necessities such as education, health are requisite for an individual to achieve more in life. The unfavorable socio-economic conditions and the unavailability of the basic medical care within his reach create social insecurity. Kavery brings to light the dearth of hospitals in our rural villages and reinforces the need for well-equipped hospitals and highly qualified doctors in the village. She expresses her anguish that most of the doctors flock to cities and neglect the villages where seventy or seventy-five percent of the people live. She points out the need for facilitating health care amenities in the health-care deprived villages to ensure social justice in the society. The novelist wants better health-care conditions to be made accessible to all, irrespective of their socio-economic status. The health disparities in villages can be eliminated if socially-responsible persons like the protagonist Nalli volunteer to serve the less advantaged people.
本文以阿马蒂亚·森博士的“能力方法”为视角,对卡维·南比桑的小说《安盖里山》进行了批判性的考察。这种方法的核心概念是评估印度社会中存在的社会不平等现象的重要工具。Kavery谈到了农村地区,特别是Angheri村的医疗保健和基本设施严重不足。Sen和Kavery都渴望增进一个人的幸福。他们真正相信,教育、健康等必需品是个人在生活中取得更多成就的必要条件。不利的社会经济条件和他无法获得的基本医疗服务造成了社会不安全。Kavery揭示了我们农村缺乏医院的问题,并加强了村里对设备齐全的医院和高素质医生的需求。她对大多数医生涌向城市而忽视70%或75%人口居住的村庄表示痛苦。她指出,有必要为缺乏医疗保健的村庄提供医疗保健设施,以确保社会的社会正义。这位小说家希望所有人都能获得更好的医疗条件,无论他们的社会经济地位如何。如果像主角Nalli这样有社会责任感的人自愿为弱势群体服务,农村的健康差距就可以消除。

The core concepts of this approach serve as critical tools in assessing the social inequities existing in Indian society. Kavery speaks about the massive inadequacy of healthcare and basic amenities found in rural places, especially in the village Angheri. Both Sen and Kavery aspire for the enhancement of a person’s well-being. They truly believe that necessities such as education, health are requisite for an individual to achieve more in life. The unfavorable socio-economic conditions and the unavailability of the basic medical care within his reach create social insecurity. Kavery brings to light the dearth of hospitals in our rural villages and reinforces the need for well-equipped hospitals and highly qualified doctors in the village. She expresses her anguish that most of the doctors flock to cities and neglect the villages where seventy or seventy-five percent of the people live. She points out the need for facilitating health care amenities in the health-care deprived villages to ensure social justice in the society. The novelist wants better health-care conditions to be made accessible to all, irrespective of their socio-economic status. The health disparities in villages can be eliminated if socially-responsible persons like the protagonist Nalli volunteer to serve the less advantaged people.","PeriodicalId":42863,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44740909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contemporary research has primarily focused on different strategies of Marginalisation. Marginalization mein ans ‘to make somebody feel as they are not important and cannot influence decisions or conclusions, or to put somebody in a powerless position. Mahaswetha Devi’s Rudali focuses on the two women who flourish in a partnership for survival. The novel represents the struggle of Sanichari suppressed against poverty, humiliation, and demolished by an exploitative patriarchal caste-bases social system. This paper focuses on how the character Sanichari undertakes the different situations to survive in society.
当代的研究主要集中在边缘化的不同策略上。边缘化的意思是让某人觉得自己不重要,不能影响决定或结论,或者把某人置于无权的地位。Mahaswetha Devi的《鲁达利》(Rudali)关注的是两个为了生存而合作的女人。这部小说描绘了受压迫的萨尼查里人与贫穷、屈辱的斗争,以及在以种姓为基础的剥削父权社会制度下的摧残。本文关注的是Sanichari这个角色如何在不同的情况下在社会中生存。
