The Challenges of Learning English - A Focus on LSRW Skills[ ]


The importance of language as a medium of expression need not be over emphasized. Among the languages used worldwide, English has the distinction of being primary language of many countries. Competency in English is indeed necessary for Indians of all ages that see themselves as global “movers and shakers”. In India, English has acquired a distinct status basically for two lessons : i) wider acceptance in the country and; ii) growing significance of the language in the context of globalization, A language acquires a number of accents, if it is spoken by large sections of people, separated from one another socially, geographically and educationally.

Nature and Human Kinship in Alice Munro’s “In Sight of the Lake”[ ]


Nature is a source of human life. There cannot be any life without nature. Further, both nature and humans are inter-reliant. Beauty inspires literature and nature is one such beautiful entity which has always acted as muse, subject matter, and theme of sev-eral literary texts. There are many writers who write about nature, and one among them is the great fiction writer, Alice Ann Munro. She portrays nature through her short stories in simple words, which makes the readers to fall in love with the nature. In the short-story, “In Sight of the Lake,” Alice Munro sees the beauty of nature through the eyes of the protagonist, Nancy. The proposed paper titled, “Nature and Human Kinship in Alice Munro’s ‘In Sight of the Lake’”, is an attempt to portray the kinship between nature and human beings.
