A JOURNEY FROM STRUGGLE TO PROMINENCE IN THE INDIAN FILM PINK

Students often quote “writing” as the most challenging aspect of acquiring a language. An inherent fear of not being able to construct sentences coherently in the first few attempts coupled by inadequate writing instructions are certain reasons why students feel demotivated to write. Teachers too seem to carry the opinion that it is very difficult to teach ‘writing’ and that it can only be ‘learnt’ with proper guidance. Writing requires a deliberate and sustained effort from the learner. However, like any other skill, writing too can be ‘learnt’ provided the right set of conditions exists. These conditions or influencing factors, can significantly enhance the process of ‘learning to write’. Some of these factors include a positive student-teacher relationship, classroom environment, intrinsic learner motivation, and positive feedback systems. These factors have varying degrees of influence on learning writing. This paper seeks to understand the perspectives of teachers and students on the influence of these factors in a real learning environment and their impact on the learning outcomes with specific focus on writing. © BEIESP.

Factors influencing the acquisition of writing skills

The evolution and transformation of human beings is a part of nature, but as human beings civilized,they started to migrate from one place to another to enhance their condition of existence. As time passed, migration has transformed into different frames and even people have transformed themselves according to advancements in technologies. At present, migration has become an ordinary occurrence due to globalisation. Its not that migration alone has transformed, but also the perspectives of the migrants; they have started to adapt to the migrated culture without giving up their origin culture. They maintain multiple connections with different nations without disturbing their origin. The theory of studying the multiple networks of immigrants and undergoing struggles in acclimatising and emerging with both the migrated culture and native culture is termed as transnationalism. “When people overcome the crisis by accepting, adapting and emerging with both the identities making dual identity and multiple connections with other nations the they are termed as transnationals or trans-border communities”. (Abirami and Alamelu, 2018, p34)Both men and women migrate, but when women migrate, they undergo infinite struggles in their migrated land. When women transcend nation, they are labelled as transnational women; many writers have penned and verbalised the tussles and challenges of immigrant women. Among those writers, SelinaSiak Chin Yoke's novel The Woman Who Breathed Two Worlds sets as a best model to interpret transnational women's experience. The objective of the present paper is to analyse the transnational experience and the tussles of immigrant women in the novel The Woman Who Breathed Two Worlds through the lens of orthogonal cultural identification theory. © 2019 Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication.

The present study deeply analyses the different perspectives of the immigrants towards their country of destination which results in the categorisation of immigrants as either diaspora or transnationals. It also explores the way in which diaspora and transnationalism begin to swerve in their paths; the immigrant’s roots and routes are alike but their standpoints are unlike. The act of crossing nation is shared between the two but the different perspectives of the immigrant enable them to develop distinct ideologies which streams to assorted conclusions such as diaspora or transnationals. The channel of diaspora is brimmed with thorns and speed breakers like loneliness and estrangement, that dwindles the speed of the progressive status of the migrants to authorise their identity and they wander in-between the social spaces influenced by the host community and migrated society. Whereas, the boulevard of transnationalism is suffused with restricted speed breakers like nostalgia; it is a smooth lane filled with opportunities of being in more than one place simultaneously to the migrants and ends in acquiring the global identity by overcoming all the impediments in their lives. The objective of the present study is to identify the distinctions of the two concepts and analyse the different perspectives of the immigrants through the novels Zadie Smith’s White Teeth and Colm Toibin’s Brooklyn under the light of the conventional assimilation theory and assemblage theory. © Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.

An ideology of crossing nation: From conflict to emergence

Women in their day to day life face many struggles and hurdles; some overcome and lead their life unflinchingly, whereas many face the same, by accepting and tolerating it within as they no longer feel it as a struggle but as a routine pattern of life. At that moment emerged the feminist movement through which women were free to share their experiences that helped many women to speak and shout out their grief and to overcome their subjugation. Women need a space in their lives as they have the right to it; feminists also advocate that every woman should have space which brings them freedom. There are various works that deal with feminism through writings and movies which bring out the nature of women in a way that every woman can relate and reflect it with their daily lives. The present work has feminism as the conceptual framework to bring out the concept of personal space, boundaries and carte blanche through the film Magalir Mattum (2017). © 2018, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..

The invisibilization of women in a societal propinquity and a rummage for Carte Blanche

Now a days the people's attraction towards Automated Teller Machine(ATM) has been increasing even in rural areas. As of now the security provided by all the bank is ATM pin number. Hackers know the way to easily identify the pin number and withdraw money if they haven stolen the ATM card. Also, the Automated Teller Machine is broken and the money is stolen. To overcome these disadvantages, we propose an approach "Automated Secure Tracking System" to secure and tracking the changes in ATM. In this approach, while creating the bank account, the bank should scan the iris known (a part or movement of our eye) and fingerprint of the customer. The scanning can be done with the position of the eye movements and fingerprints identified with the shortest measurements. When the card is swiped then ATM should request the pin, scan the iris and recognize the fingerprint and then allow the customer to withdraw money. If somebody tries to break the ATM an alert message is given to the nearby police station and the ATM shutter is automatically closed. This helps in avoiding the hackers who withdraw money by stealing the ATM card and also helps the government in identifying the criminals easily. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

Enhanced way of securing automated teller machine to track the misusers using secure monitor tracking analysis

Globalisation is one of the predominant key factors that have played a vital role in transforming society and which eventually led to changes in the overtones of culture. The radical changes have a remarkable influence on the way women identify themselves and approach their lives. It has resulted in the emergence of women struggling and unfolding to find new opportunities to redefine themselves. The new found ideologies in turn have impacted this patriarchal society to a great extent that it has brought with it individual and social changes and different perspectives about the roles of women and men in family and society, both in concealed lives and communal structures. This change is vividly captured and portrayed in the creative works and it is analysed and interpreted by various theories which are newly formulated or reformulated and one such is the re-emergence of the new age feminist theory. Feminist theory forms the basis for the study of the experiences of women in society, in particular, women's eminence and position within their society and family. Feminist thoughts assumes that women's welfare and perspectives are convincing in and of themselves and are not lesser or secondary to those of men's, nor should they be distinct only in relation to or as a difference from men's experiences. The absence of these assumptions in customary and sociological learning is one of the criticisms which have emerged in feminist erudition. This work explores upon new feminism as a conceptual framework for analysing the changes in women's life and attitude through two films namely English Vinglish and 36 Vayadhinile. © Serials Publications.

The effect of learners' beliefs and classroom climate on language learning

The traditional notion of English as a foreign language solely for communicating with native speakers can no longer be applied in a world that is constantly changing, hence paving the way for an alternative use of the language known as English as a lingua franca. As a result, instead of focusing only on grammatical correctness, research into language pedagogy has also come to recognize the importance of exploring bottom-up learning processes, and developing intercultural communicative competence (ICC) and more communicative-based methods. Nowadays, it is essential to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and critical cultural awareness necessary to communicate successfully. To show the importance of integrating ICC in language pedagogy, a recording from the Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English is analysed here to demonstrate the significance of developing critical awareness as well as several communicative strategies, so that language learners can afterwards have the necessary ICC to interact in today’s multi-lingual/cultural society.
