...Honors English 11 This course stresses curriculum content that teaches critical communication, involving interpreting, proposing, evaluating and judging subjects and literary works. Students will use American literature as well as Shakespeare as the lens through which to approach objectives and standards. Students will look beyond essential skills and look at source documents to help explain and evaluate the history and culture of our nation as well as the movement. Honors level students will be expected to take more responsibility for their learning and will engage in a higher level of inquiry-based learning than students in the regular curriculum will. Honors English 11 is a perfect place to use source documents (the constitution, speeches, early writing and journals for vertical alignment. Much of what we do requires analytical skills and close reading, it also covers historical curriculum....

...particular rhetorical situation. Text The text in question is a 17-minute speech written and delivered by Dr. King. The basic medium of the text was an oral speech that was broadcast by both loudspeakers at the event and over radio and television. Dr. King drew on years of training as a minister and public speaker to deliver the speech. He also drew on his extensive education and the tumultuous history of racial prejudices and civil rights in the US. Audiences at the time either heard his speech in person or over radio or television broadcasts. Part of the speech near the end was improvised around the repeated phrase “I have a dream.” Author http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/625/08/ Page 1 of 9 Purdue OWL: The Rhetorical Situation 9/11/13 7:53 PM Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the most iconic leader of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

...Introduction The learners and teachers of English and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) textbooks are three major inter-related elements in the process of present day education. Hutchinson, 1994 cited in (Evaluating an EFL textbook - A new English Course) states that, “The textbook is an almost universal element of ELT teaching”. Therefore, a textbook can be mentioned as a useful instrument which serves as a guide or an instructional manual for studying a particular subject. Against the common belief that students are the key in this direction, many scholars hold the view that textbooks are the heart of education with regard to the fact that both teachers and students are to a large extent dependent on the books (Sarem, S. N., Hamidi, H., Mahmoudie, R., 2013).Therefore, it is clear that a textbook facilitates the teaching and learning process and thus, is helpful both for the teacher and the students. Textbooks are compiled and developed because they are the most convenient means of providing the structure that the teaching-learning system requires. Textbooks are a good solution to overcome the weaknesses in teaching materials. Ansary and Babaii (2002) cited in (An Evaluation of English Language Textbook 'Say it in English' for first year intermediate Grade in South Arabia, 2012) state that, “Although the textbook is not the only tool for the teaching and learning process, it is still of a significant impact for achieving the language learning objectives...

In ancient times when human beings appeared, we humans hunt and feed on animals; later, we began to domesticate some docile animals, and then trained some of them to plow and till in the field; today, we keep some likable and smart animals to be our pets. However, some animals are practically impossible to be our pet. One reason is that people believe these certain kinds of animals might be symbols of ill omens or just might bring bad luck. Yet while Chinese detest crows, Japanese regard the crow as their national bird, the very sacred bird every Japanese worships; the cry of an owl bespeaks the death for the Chinese people, but in Greek and Roman myths, they stand for wisdom; and cricket in Chinese poems signifies sadness and sorrow, while “as merry as a cricket” is often used in English to show joy and happiness. All the above are examples of cultural diversity, which are mainly caused by historic, religious, and geographical reasons. Furthermore, a language is the reflection and the carrier of a certain culture,...

Purpose and Significance Thanks to the globalization, the demand for the bilingual workers is on the rise. As English majors, we believe that what we can do to be more competitive in this increasingly globalized world is to have a solid command of this language. The certificates such as TEM-8(Test for English Majors Band Eight) is a must but what really matters is what ability the students really have possessed and could be employed at ease. Upon reflecting on the TEM-4 (Test for English Majors Band Four) /TEM-8 scores the seniors have acquired, we clearly learn that there is still quite a room for improvement, especially when it comes to writing. Some students still find it tough to put pen into the paper and work out a satisfactory essay; some are hard-pressed to express themselves smoothly in the writing; still...

...invaluable articles. Please do click on them. I have spent quite some time researching for this piece. Links at point 3 and 15 are specially brilliant. Some of you might like to move straight over to point 11, from where the advanced tips start. Anyone can make a good CV provided you are ready to work for it. Paths are made by walking, not waiting. Touche. 1.) Learn Great English. Learn to speak english, write english. Learn how English eat, blow their noses and clean their bottoms. But to remain cultured, stick to the Indian culture. It is better, politer and more suave (Poets tend to be chauvinists). However just to pin- prick your pride here is Wikipedia's article on 'Hin'glish. Don't make the silly mistakes pointed here. BTW as I said, poets are chauvinistic; if you prick my pride with a pin. Ouch! It swells! 2.) Intern in every possible break. Intern after college hours, if possible. There are also online internships possible. The online internships offered by the National Judicial Academy, Bhopal and the Volintern program of Nishith Desai Associates are doable. 3.) Research. Write papers. Write professional blogs. If you want to get into a corporate firm write on corporate law. If you IP is your field get cracking on IP topics. Look for call for papers here. (In your comments you may thank me for this link). 4.) In summers do summer courses. In winters do winter courses. With all this workload you will not remain a SPRING CHICKEN. But still, try doing...
