This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this book is to connect in a straightforward way the growing body of second language vocabulary research with teacher actions in classrooms. Words are pervasive in our life. The words that we use express and shape our identity. Our vocabulary gives away our social and educational background. It is a major factor in determining what we understand. It opens or closes access to sources of information that will impact our future. Today vocabulary acquisition is considered an integral area of language teaching by linguists, teachers and researchers. They have come to understand the role of lexicon in language learning and communication. Therefore during the past three decades, the field of second language acquisition has seen renewed interest in vocabulary learning. But the scene was different few decades ago. For many years vocabulary was considered unimportant in language teaching. Its neglect in part may be due to specialisation in linguistic research on syntax and phonology. This may have fostered a climate in which vocabulary was considered an unimportant element in the learning of a second or foreign language. This view largely dominated the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s. The period between 1940-60 was an uncertain period for vocabulary as an aspect of language teaching. In this period vocabulary was seen mainly as a problem of selection and gradation for the target learners. It was only in 1970’s that vocabulary was given some place of importance in language teaching but still it was considered less important when compared with syntax and phonology. For years, second language learners have complained about their lack of vocabulary in their new language. During this time, experts in our field did not give much importance to vocabulary. However, since the mid-1990s there has been a renewed interest in research on second language vocabulary issues such as student needs, teaching techniques, learner strategies, incidental learning and vocabulary for specific purpose. Today lexical knowledge is acknowledged to be central to communicative competence and the acquisition and development of second language. This study is probably the first systematic attempt to expand the students’ active vocabulary and to create word-consciousness in the classroom. The aim of the present study is to examine students’ knowledge of vocabulary at the college level and note the problem areas and follow the eclectic method to increase the students’ word power in order to enable them to use more precise words instead of general ones. The students are taught words in lexical sets for quick expansion of vocabulary and they are also made to consider the paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations of words for better understanding of word meanings. Chapter I of this book deals with English as an international language and its position in India today. It also highlights the importance of vocabulary, aspects of vocabulary and the principles of selection and gradation of vocabulary. Chapter II reviews the work already done in the field of vocabulary. Chapter III focuses on the aims and procedure adopted in the present study. It also highlights techniques of teaching new words and expanding vocabulary. Chapter IV presents an analysis of the data collected. The relative difficulty level of different questions in the pre-test and the post-test, the students’ progress in the use of vocabulary and the conclusions of the study are presented in this chapter. I sincerely hope that the present study and the discussions will have an impact on the way teachers and learners view the teaching and learning of vocabulary in a second language.
Download or read book Epic into Novel written by Henry Power and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-02-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epic into Novel examines an unexplored tension in Fielding's work: the tension between his commitment to the classical tradition and his immersion in a print culture in which books were regarded as consumable commodities. It gives a fresh account of Fielding's engagement with classical literature, showing how he fashioned his novels out of ancient epic. It also shows how Fielding drew on the language of cookery and consumption in order to characterize his relationship with the market. This interest in the place of the ancients in a world of consumerism was inherited from the previous generation of satirists. The 'Scriblerians'—among them Jonathan Swift, John Gay, and Alexander Pope—repeatedly suggest in their work that classical values are at odds with modern tastes and appetites. Fielding, who had idolized these writers as a young man, developed many of their satiric routines in his own writing. But Fielding broke from Swift, Gay, and Pope in creating a version of epic designed to appeal to modern consumers. Henry Power draws on a range of sources—including eighteenth-century cookery books as well as works of classical literature—to offer fresh readings of works by Swift, Gay, and Pope, and of Fielding's major novels. Epic into Novel explores Fielding's engagement with various Scriblerian themes, primarily the consumption of literature, but also the professionalization of scholarship, and the status of the author. It shows ultimately that Fielding broke with the Scriblerians in acknowledging and celebrating the influence of the marketplace on his work.

Book Synopsis A Companion to Eighteenth-Century Poetry by : Christine Gerrard
Download or read book A Companion to Eighteenth-Century Poetry written by Christine Gerrard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A COMPANION TO & EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY POETRY A COMPANION TO & EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY POETRY Edited by Christine Gerrard This wide-ranging Companion reflects the dramatic transformation that has taken place in the study of eighteenth-century poetry over the past two decades. New essays by leading scholars in the field address an expanded poetic canon that now incorporates verse by many women poets and other formerly marginalized poetic voices. The volume engages with topical critical debates such as the production and consumption of literary texts, the constructions of femininity, sentiment and sensibility, enthusiasm, politics and aesthetics, and the growth of imperialism. The Companion opens with a section on contexts, considering eighteenth-century poetry’s relationships with such topics as party politics, religion, science, the visual arts, and the literary marketplace. A series of close readings of specific poems follows, ranging from familiar texts such as Pope’s The Rape of the Lock to slightly less well-known works such as Swift’s “Stella” poems and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s Town Eclogues. Essays on forms and genres, and a series of more provocative contributions on significant themes and debates, complete the volume. The Companion gives readers a thorough grounding in both the background and the substance of eighteenth-century poetry, and is designed to be used alongside David Fairer and Christine Gerrard’s Eighteenth-Century Poetry: An Annotated Anthology (3rd edition, 2014).
