Use of Mobile Apps in Teaching and Learning

D. Ronald Hadrian — 2024-09-05

Learning English has become an important part of schooling. Vocabulary is a very important part of learning a language. Hence having a good vocabulary is important for efficient communication. But it is hard and stressful to learn a foreign language. Also, learning new words in English is often seen as an unexciting activity and students may not be motivated enough to stick their heads around it. This study analyses available mobile game-based English vocabulary practice systems that involve choosing words based on textbook passages. The students are incentivised with badges and certificates for levelling up through higher difficulty ratios and mastering learning portfolios. The goal is to encourage and increase interest in learning English. The system’s learning activities change vocabulary learning from a monotonous process of memorising words to a fun game. This helps learners remember words and become more familiar with words that are used in the curriculum. This paper talks about the approaches to enhancing vocabulary using mobile technology and lists out important applications that can be used to teach and learn vocabulary. The interests, needs, and learning goals of students are also kept in mind while choosing these apps. Even though many students know how to use apps, they may need help learning how to use vocabulary apps effectively and strategically. The focus of the paper is to achieve the aforementioned feat of learning more and achieving student goals in a shorter span with enhanced efficiency taking the aid of technology.

S. Shenbagavalli — 2024-09-05

India is a vast country with a diverse range of customs and cultures. The construction of India’s history involves a substantial amount of regional history. Even though India has now celebrated 75 years of independence, Azadi Ka Amit Mahotsav, the younger generation is still unaware of the local freedom fighters who also played a crucial role in setting India free. Therefore, it is essential to review, restore, and document the part played by every Indian region during various stages of the freedom movement, as well as to inspire the next generation with a new zeal and passion and to reconstruct an extensive history. In an attempt to trace the freedom fighters of our region, we the researchers were able to identify the lesser-known freedom fighter Vellapa Naidu of Guruvappanayakkanur, in Udumalpet Taluk. An attempt is made to bring into the limelight the invaluable contribution of Vellapa Naidu towards national Independence. In the present work, a sincere effort has been made to portray the instrumental role of Vellapa Naidu in propagating Gandhian principles and strengthening the freedom struggle from its regional and local perspectives.

The Glorious Teachers of Vikramshila

Reeta Mishra — 2024-09-05

Vikramshila calls for resuscitation, for the past eight centuries. There had been a division of opinion regarding its correct location, but there was no difference regarding its fame and effulgence. Like a bright diamond, it shines even amidst rebels. Now the location is proven through excavations. From Taranaths’s account, the greatest probability was at Colgong and not at Silao. S. C. Das and a host of others were inclined to accept it near Patharghata hills at Colgong, a few kilometres east of Bhagalpur, where the Ganges, takes a northerly turn and where Taranath’s descriptions proved accurate. But history is no more sheer worship of Cleo, it is also the time endeavouring to be exact. The truth about Vikramshila lies hidden in the womb of Mother Earth: to the industrious researcher she is whirling to unveil herself, this excavation adds one more feather to the cultural heritage, of which India has an inexhaustible store, ready to reveal herself in her finest glories and glorious teachers.
