PARTS OF SPEECH - A REVIEW

     
Learning about the parts of speech is the first step in  grammar study. From learning the parts of speech we begin to understand the use or function of words and how words are joined together to make  meaningful communication.  To understand what a part of speech is, one must understand the idea of  putting similar things together into groups or categories.

PARTS OF SPEECH - A VIEW

I would like to share this article on parts of speech with you!

The Parts of Speech

Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, thepronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a series of sections on the individual parts of speech, followed by an exercise.

Books are made of ink, paper, and glue.

In this sentence, "books" is a noun, the subject of the sentence.

Deborah waits patiently while Bridget books the tickets.

Here "books" is a verb, and its subject is "Bridget."

We walk down the street.

In this sentence, "walk" is a verb, and its subject is the pronoun "we."

The mail carrier stood on the walk.

In this example, "walk" is a noun, which is part of a prepositional phrase describing where the mail carrier stood.

The town decided to build a new jail.

Here "jail" is a noun, which is the object of the infinitive phrase "to build."

The sheriff told us that if we did not leave town immediately he would jail us.

Here "jail" is part of the compound verb "would jail."

They heard high pitched cries in the middle of the night.

In this sentence, "cries" is a noun acting as the direct object of the verb "heard."

The baby cries all night long and all day long.

But here "cries" is a verb that describes the actions of the subject of the sentence, the baby.

evaluation reforms in B.Ed programme

                               EXAMINATION REFORMS IN B.ED. PROGRAMME

                                                      P.SELVI

                                    SRV COLLEGE OF EDUCATION   

                                                         SIVAKASI

                                                      ABSTRACT

                                                        Henry Steele opines” Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implcably requires change. Education is essential to change., for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them”. In our country, 19^th century education is imparted by 20^th century teachers to 21^st century students. In this way we are lagging behind by two centuries. Education should help the students to attain 21^st century skills such as developing reasoning and thinking power, judgement and decision making ability, creativity, risk taking capacity, scientific temper, team spirit etc., Hence by developing the Inter-personal skills such as courtesy, giving respect, collaborative learning, communication skill, conflict resolution, empathy,  tolerance and leadership qualities and the Intrapersonal skills such as problem solving, decision making, health  habits, moral judgement, curiosity, imagination and thinking skills. How can the radical change take place? It can be put into practice by changing the curriculum and evaluation procedure of B.Ed programme. This paper suggests the following measures not only for teaching but also for evaluation.

• I advocate the principle of promoting the use of Technology to the maximum level.
• Teleconferencing should be made available to the students.
• EDUSAT should be utilized well.
• Numerous workshops and seminars should be organized to mobilize and encourage youth with the goal of envisioning sucessful future through education.
• I recommend conducting an annual conference to evaluate past progress and yet set higher goals that are realistic and attainable for students, mentors , teachers and parents.             

onlinelearning-a boon

                        21st century education has undergone a drastic change due to the technological improvements made.Normally in a class we come across quick performers, medium doers and late bloomers.Online learning provides optimum benefit for all type of learners. 
                       The education system we have today was created in the 19^th century to serve a different time with different needs. Educators borrowed the concept of uniformity and processed students in batches. The teachers could teach "the same subjects, in the same way, and at the same pace" to all students in the classroom.
                       Now that we ask more students to master higher-order knowledge and skills, this arrangement falls short. If the goal is to educate every student to the highest potential, the education system needs to be transformed from the present-day model where time is fixed and learning is variable into a student-centric model with a modular design that enables affordable mass customization so that time becomes the variable and learning can be the constant.
                       With education taking place online, students could learn "any time, any place, any path, any pace". Online education is not without pitfalls. Impersonal Communication, Time and Energy Drain, Technology, Learning Style, Financial Cost are some of the challenges faced by online learners. Since most communication take place via written messages,  writing skills and the ability to put thoughts into words are paramount. Without this competence, the students experience significant frustration. 
                        On the other hand online learning allows flexibility which is important for students with other commitments in pursuing university course work. Here we will analyse the promises, problems, and the future possibilities in online learning.
