Since English has become the global language, it is essential to know English to communicate with people in different parts of the world. Nowadays, English is taught to children from an early age. Generally, the methods used to teach the other children cannot be used to teach the physically and mentally challenged children because of their disabilities. Even so, there are methods to teach the physically and mentally challenged children English so that they can be independent and face the world confidently despite their disabilities. This paper focuses on a few such methods. © 2017 IUP. All Rights Reserved.

Influence of intermetallic phases on the pitting corrosion of aged high Mo superaustenitic stainless steel is studied. To form the intermetallic phases the alloy was aged for 1 and 10 h at different temperatures in the range of 500–1000 °C. Chi forms at temperatures up to 800 °C. Sigma forms above 900 or 1000 °C depending upon the ageing time. Corrosion was estimated by electro-chemical polarization method in 3.5 % NaCl solution. The pitting potential decreases with increasing ageing temperature and/or ageing time. Sigma is more susceptible to cause pitting than chi. Depletion of Mo near the zones of sigma in the matrix is attributed to the pitting phenomenon. © 2015, The Indian Institute of Metals - IIM.

India has been progressing in the educational field since the independence. Though there are different methods are available to test the skill of the students' of college level, the writing mode i.e. conventional method of testing the students has been in practice yet there are the other mode such as oral testing, objective type testing etc.. In this paper a group of students are taken for analyzing the Best method of testing (BMT) the students at college level. Using the questionnaire, the students were free and conscious in preferring their testing mode. At the end, majority of the students preferred the Conventional Mode of Testing (CMT) as the Best Method of Testing at college level because it involves a lot of skills where the other modes of testing fails to cover. © Serials Publications.
