the waste land

 

 Here is my views regarding three questions.....

1. “The Übermensch” is a concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. In his 1883 book “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”. Übermensch is a Garman word, it means Above-Human or Superman.In this concept of Ubermensch (Superman) in seems to be progressive and forward.What Nietzsche is concerned about in relating the above is that God is dead in the hearts and minds of his own generation of modern men.

On the other side we can say that, T.S.Eliot is a person who believes in spirituality and God. T.S. Eliot was totally believes into the god and myths and’ The wast land poem ‘totally related with mythical connections and god Buddha and Christ also.

2. Gustaf Hellstrom of the Swedish academy he says to salvation of man lie. Freud believes that a collective and individual balance, which should constantly take in to account to man's primitive instincts. Afew times ' primitive instinct' lead us to happy and satisfied life.

Eliot views are more philosophical and it is believe in religious thinking. according to Eliot ‘Salvation of man lies in the preservation of the culture tradition’. But there must be a balance between this both the things.

3. In ‘The Waste Land’ we can see that Eliot use the examples from India like, Upanishads, Buddhism or last line ‘Shantih... Shantih… Shantih’. He also uses the river ‘Ganga’.The poem as we know is a quest of poem to find the best solution, and restore spirituality in man which he has lost. And as a answer of his quest ends in Indian Philosophy-Upanishad.

Teaching of EST in Indian Conditions by R. S. Sharma

Here is I sharing my view on Teaching of EST in Indian Conditions by R. S. Sharma

Language is the foundation of the education system; we learn and teach through medium of the language, it is the linguafranca that connects the learner, teacher and the subject.

John (1998) provide a more comprehensive characterization of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) as language teaching designed to meet the specific needs of the learners through employing effective teaching methodologies and teaching activities.

 In India same problem students and teachers has been  facing long, English is largely accepted as the language of science and technology, as it is second language in India there will be some issues is obvious.

There are three aspects which we should apply for the sake of understand the problems and then what can be its probable solution.

They are

1.       Need Analysis

2.       Structure of technical English and teaching material

3.       Expertise

the students of the science and technology views English as a tools of communication, of opportunity, they are more interested in subjective English rather than general English.
