Transition to A New Instructional Model: Using Listening Activities to Augment Language Acquisition

In the 21 st century, women's writing in English has been considered as a powerful medium of modernism and feminist proclamation in the contemporary society of patriarchy life. The last two decades have witnessed extraordinary success in feminist writings of Indian English literature even Today is the generation of those women writers who are rich and have been educated in the West. Hence, this paper examines to analysis the cross - cultural values and divulgences of female protagonist’s of the great diasporic writers Chitra Banarjee Divakaruni and Bharati Mukherjee select novels. It also discussed the problems of women and in their suppressions in our post- modern society how they lost their identity and how do they feel their separation of culture from native land to an a lien land.

This paper reports the purpose of integrating Web 2.0 tool, Glogster in language learning tasks. Web 2.0 tools and digital blooms taxonomy have become prevalent in the English classroom with the ubiquitous use of smartphone, tabs and laptops in the language classroom. Certain details in this paper were presented in the Connecting Online (CO12) session in the year 2012. This paper also describes activities which would help in fostering creativity and autonomy in the teaching-learning process. Glogster is a web 2.0 tool which provides a platform for teachers and learners in creating and using glogs for language learning and other subjects. This tool provides a supportive platform for monitoring project based language learning activities. Having studied the use of the glog for language learning with the first batch of 54 students in 2009, in the following semesters 302 students were introduced to the glogging task. In total, 356 B.Tech students at VIT were introduced to web 2.0 tools for language learning tasks. They were introduced to the use of three Glogster tasks for synthesizing their real life and virtual language learning experiences in different semesters.

Students have been through various phases in their life wherein they have to make the toughest of choices which are going to have a huge role to play in shaping their future. The toughest of all is when they realize the lack of information regarding choice of course. This is potentially capable of destroying their life that occurs at the end of their higher secondary education. This study focuses on understanding the mentality of students undergoing arts and science programs with respect to their career plan. Previous studies conducted in relevant fields relating to our chosen topic of research specifically focused on the psychology of a student going through the process of stream selection as well as the factors that affect his or her mentality relating to the same. These include many things such as social/peer pressure, parental influence, et cetera. The studentâs knowledge pertaining to this also plays an important role in studentâs choice.

Outlook of University Students and their Profession Strategy

Technology in the form of social media is widely used by young people. Studies revealed that youngsters are being addicted and deviated from studies rather than exploring the usefulness of these social media. This paper discloses the theoretical background from various studies conducted on the influence of social media and other technology among youngsters and how it brought changes in their way of life. It also divulges the wide-ranging and utmost prevalent social media used by contemporary generation students in higher education institutions. These findings will be an eye opener for the parents, teachers, educational institutions and the government to understand the reality of students thought process with the introversion of social media in their life. © 2019, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..

Storytelling in the Digital Era- An Exciting Prospect for Personal Enrichment

Symmetry in nodes operation in underwater wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is crucial sothat nodes consume their energy in a balanced fashion. This prevents rapid death of nodes close towater surface and enhances network life span. Symmetry can be achieved by minimizing delay andensuring reliable packets delivery to sea surface. It is because delay minimization and reliability arevery important in underwaterWSNs. Particularly, in dense underworks, packets reliability is of seriousconcernwhen a large number of nodes advance packets. The packets collide and are lost. This inefficientlyconsumes energy and introduces extra delay as the lost packets are usually retransmitted. This is furtherworsened by adaptation of long routes by packets as the network size grows, as this increases the collisionprobability of packets. To cope with these issues, two routing schemes are designed for dense underwaterWSNs in this paper: delay minimization routing (DMR) and cooperative delay minimization routing(CoDMR). In the DMR scheme, the entire network is divided into four equal regions. The minor sinknodes are placed at center of each region, one in each of the four regions. Unlike the conventionalapproach, the placement of minor sink nodes in the network involves timer based operation and isindependent of the geographical knowledge of the position of every minor sink. All nodes havingphysical distance from sink lower than the communication range are able to broadcast packets directlyto the minor sink nodes, otherwise multi-hopping is used. Placement of the minor sinks in the fourregions of the network avoids packets delivery to water surface through long distancemulti-hopping,which minimizes delay and balances energy utilization. However, DMR is vulnerable to informationreliability due to single path routing. For reliability, CoDMR scheme is designed that adds reliabilityto DMR using cooperative routing. In CoDMR, a node having physical distance from the sink greaterthan its communication range, sends the information packets by utilizing cooperation with a singlerelay node. The destination and the relay nodes are chosen by considering the lowest physical distancewith respect to the desired minor sink node. The received packets at the destination node are merged byfixed ratio combining as a diversity technique. The physical distance computation is independent of thegeographical knowledge of nodes, unlike the geographical routing protocols. This makes the proposedschemes computationally efficient. Simulation shows that DMR and CoDMR algorithms outperformthe counterpart algorithms in terms of total energy cost, energy balancing, packet delivery ratio (PDR),latency, energy left in the battery and nodes depleted of battery power.
