GICICPLT1613051 ABSTRACT
The study of Language Learning Strategy (LLS) Use among Senior
Secondary School Students was carried out with the intention of finding
out if there is presence of LLS and whether the students use LLS in the
classroom. The study employed survey design. The multi stage
techniques were used to select the samples that were used for the study.
The schools were located in the urban and rural areas of Enugu
Education Zone of Enugu State. The sample was 40% of the total
population that was 680 students, 472 students in urban area and 208 in
rural area from selected schools in the urban and rural areas of the
zone. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection.
The data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and t-
test. The results of the study showed that the more the students use
LLS, the more proficient they are in the English Language. The
students often use LLS, and there is no significant difference between
students in the urban and students in the rural area in the use of LLS.
Teachers should endeavor to create student-centered classroom in
which the teacher gives the students frequent opportunities to practice
and regularly assists them to develop the skills. Government should
organize retraining programmes like conferences, seminars and
workshops to develop in the teachers knowledge of Language Learning
Strategy (LLS).

ABSTRACT
Past researches have shown that students use visual organizers to
connect content and ideas in their writing. Graphic organizers done in
the form of concept mapping is a powerful tool in the classroom to
facilitate learning. It serves as a scaffold to organize ideas and to
structure how the ideas can be written. Students learning academic
writing for the first time might become overwhelmed by terms like
topic sentences, controlling ideas, supporting details and thesis

ABSTRACT
Surjeet Singh Warwal Interdisciplinarity involves the combining of two or more academic
GICICPLT1613054 disciplines into one activity (e.g. a research project). It is about creating
something new by crossing boundaries, and thinking across them. It is
related to an interdisciplinerty or an interdisciplinary field, which is an
organizational unit that crosses traditional boundaries between
academic disciplines or schools of thought, as new needs and
professions have emerged.

ABSTRACT
Concept is a rule of classifying universe. Rule operates on the universe
to divide it in two or more mutually exclusive classes. The element of
any class does not belong to other classes. Rule should not be over
inclusive or under inclusive. It should not include elements which do
not belong to other class and at the same time, exclude any element
from the conceptualized class. In a sense, conceptual rule (-operation)
characteristics the class-members of universal elements on the one
hand, and differentiates from non-member.
Conceptual rule specifies the class membership and by this specification
it differentiates the elements of the universe which are not members.
The rule performs both function specifying and differentiating the
elements of universe of specification and differentiation are two aspects
of a rule. Truth table is defined in terms of the presence or absence of
relevant attributes. Relevant attributes are attributes defining the
conceptual rule, by which the objects are categorized. We can feel the
classification of universe according to defined truth table in terms of
the presence and absence of relevant attributes. We can categorize the
universe according to categorization of the truth table such as: TT, TF,
FT, FF etc. There are necessary pair-relation is formed through the
component of truth table. Classification of universe is carried out
through conceptual pair relation. And concept is found out through
pair relation.
Completely concept learning is based on the both learning of basic and
its complementary rule learning. Only either basic rule learning or
complementary rule learning is not sufficient to complete rule learning.
20 participants (Age 18-24 yrs) will be recruited and randomly assigned
to each condition. There are sixteen geometrical figures consisted of
four attribute dimensions, each dimension with two values. Each figure
is presented on a card. For learning reception paradigm will be used.
The traditional card-sorting tasks will be taken. Truth table training.
Two groups-1. Controlled group 2. Experimental Group.
The genuine objective of this research is that we can understand the
complexity of conceptual rules and we can learn the conceptual rule
through its process study. From the category learning, pair relation

ABSTRACT
This study sought to answer the respondents profile in terms of age,
gender, parents educational attainment, family monthly income,
reading materials available at home, and the common errors they have
encountered in terms of subject- verb agreement, pronoun, adjectives
and adverbs, preposition, tenses, and modals. The study also revealed
the Grade Point Average of the students and its significant relationship
with their performance in the English grammar usage. In line with this,
implications are drawn from the findings of the study.
This study involved 99 selected fourth year high school students in
MSU- Integrated Laboratory School. In gathering the data, the main
instrument used was a self-constructed structured questionnaire stating
the respondents profile, GPA in English, and their performance in
English Grammar test using the descriptive correlation method of
investigation. The gathered data was collected, tabulated, analysed and
interpreted using the statistical tools namely: frequency and percentage
distribution, mean and standard deviation, Pearson product moment
coefficient of correlation, and t- test of significance.
Findings showed that the common errors encountered by the
respondents in grammar test is described qualitatively as in the
average level. However, subject- verb agreement has the highest error
and adjective and adverbs have the lowest error when correlated with
pronouns, preposition, tenses and modals. Moreover the respondents
GPA and their performance in the English Grammar test have a
significant relationship. With this, it is recommended that teachers
should use variety of teaching strategies to enhance students
grammatical abilities. The students need to do their part also by being
responsible enough, while their parents need to guide their children.
Lastly, it is recommended that future researchers would be conducting
further studies on how to develop students grammatical competencies.

which shows the gender inequality from the view point of tourism.
Being a girl, I have travelled alone since I was 7 years old but now
being a 20 years old, my parents are not allowing me to travel alone.
That is the reason my topic is related to psychology in the context of
tourism in Indian culture.
In this paper we argue about why are Indian women are not allowed to
travel alone when there are no such barriers for a male. The study was
conducted with the help of the questionnaire method, which was filled
by the women and their parents. So that it supports the study with the
psychological differences among the daughters and their parents.
This paper debates on the mentality of the varying mentality in the
Indian culture. Why do men dont have to face any barriers if they
want to travel alone. And why in the 21st century a lady has to face
such consequences in India only for traveling alone.
Therefore, the paper justifies the issue faced by the Indian women in
this century. The paper consists of the reasons why are the women not
allowed to travel alone, what can I can I do as individual in
encouraging women to travel alone.

Back to the Future: Narrative and Motivation
ABSTRACT
In this paper I will argue that, by creating expectations and suspense,
narrative occupies a privileged place in language education. The
strangeness of a foreign language acts as both inhibitor and promoter
Alin Cristian in the process of learning it. To overcome the former effect, the
GICICPLT1613063 intimidating unknown needs to be coated in the appearance of the old
and familiarthe known. This passage from the known into the
unknown in general takes place most smoothly in the narrative.
Harking back to childhood and the comfort of being held conjointly by
a story-telling nurse and a linguistic substitute of the amniotic liquid,
narrative acts as friendly companion of our temporal estrangement,
better known as growing up, or coming of age. I will dwell at length on
the less obvious aspects of the linguistic double sense in the Greek word
paideia, which can mean both culture and nurse. Hence, as a
conclusion, this rather common-sensical connection that the intellectual
version of growthincluding the one through acquisition of new
languages benets massively from the good old nurturing of
narrative, which happens to be its timerevered nurse.

ABSTRACT
This paper revisits the idea of teaching cohesion to exemplify a
semantic unity as depicted through a literary text in a Bangladeshi
tertiary English for Academic Purposes (EAP) setting. This
comprehensive critique utilizes the opening extract taken from Cry the
Beloved Country, a novel authored by the South- African writer Alan
Paton, and scrutinizes the ways it can be used to teach EAP students
grammatical structures as well as lexical cohesion, besides the
arrangement of information structure and overall language with which
the novel successfully enthralls its readers. The initial section looks
closely into the various cohesive devices employed in the text and then
advances to a comprehensive study of information structure and use of
literary language. The latter section highlights on the unity of meaning
that ties the whole text with cohesive strings. The paper concludes with
pedagogical implications of the study which ascertains the importance
of having Bangladeshi adult EFL students be aware of the useful
devices that make reading literary texts worthwhile while motivating
them to partake in extensive reading and academic writing in
particular.

ABSTRACT
Writing the Methods sections of research reports has occasionally been
assumed as a relatively straightforward component, but our experience
in postgraduate supervision and thesis examination has revealed that
justifications of the data collection procedures often constitute a
difficult component that writers need to carefully deal with in the
process of crafting their texts. In relation to such procedural
justifications, this qualitative study focuses on the rhetorical strategies
that writers employ to explicitly and implicitly justify their data
collection procedures in a quest to augment the likelihood of getting
their research methods accepted. Grounded on a genre-based analytical
framework, this paper reveals how justifications are presented using a
broad range of language resources, including (i) infinitive clauses,
participial phrases and nominal modifiers that explicitly evaluate
procedures, (ii) non-integral citations that implicitly justify the
adoption of procedures, and (iii) predicator-object structures that

GICICPLT1613068 ABSTRACT
Today, it is very important to research the most effective and easy ways
of teaching and learning languages. The recent scientific works in this
field discovered that psychotherapy should be taken into consideration
in language studies. Psychotherapy allows us to prepare an effective
method of language teaching by considering each individuals mind,
his/her psychology, unsuccessful experiences in learning languages, and
level of perception. Cognitive psychotherapy is a set of tools that is used
for modification of dysfunctional beliefs and curing defection of
information processing (Beck, 1993). The beginning of cognitive
therapy is related to Kellys research (Ch. L. Doyle, 1987). He was one
of the first psychotherapists who tried to directly change human
thought. Based on this method, the scientist Aaron Beck founded a new
direction called cognitive psychotherapy, and he then popularized it.
According to his theory, human thought determines feelings, emotions
shapes behavior, and behavior forms our environment. Therefore, it
can be why students learn the Kazakh language. By evaluating all
collected data, I will be able to give practical recommendations to
improve second language acquisition and learning in Kazakhstan and
beyond. Since the psychotherapy approach is not widely used in
teaching Kazakh language yet, I aim to thoroughly research this topic
based on international experiences and apply the psychotherapy
approaches in teaching language at Nazarbayev University.
Key words: Kazakh language, language teaching, psychotherapy
factors, cognitive psychotherapy, approaches, methods

ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of early adult-marriages of undergraduate students
are becoming more frequent. According to psychosocial development
by Erikson, this early adult of undergraduate students are in intimacy
versus isolation phase. In married life, they have responsibilities to be
the leader of family and breadwinner as a husband. As a wife, they play
as homemaker and major role in parenting. In academic life, they
participate to give active contributions in education, doing research, or
community services. The dual role as a student and as a husband or
wife raises questions in the minds of researchers. The purpose of this
study was to know how the phenomenon of early adult-marriages of
undergraduate students. The subjects are six undergraduate students
