Objectives: This study proposes for analyzing the usage of novel as a teaching tool to English learners in India. Teaching of English as Second Language (ESL) to speakers of English outside Britain poses peculiar problems. Previous literature works are not written properly for the purpose of class room learning and teaching. This article lists out reasons for teaching English through novels in ESL classes. It is proposed to find out whether the novels can enrich the students' knowledge of English culture and whether they can enhance their language skills. Methods: For the purpose of the present study, a class consisting of 50 students was identified. A pretest was conducted to assess the level of understanding of linguistic skills, vocabulary and the knowledge of grammatical structures of the students. After the completion of the project, a test was conducted to find out the improvements in the learners. Findings: The data of the pre-test and post-test are analysed. It is evident that the use of novel as a teaching tool has kindled the interest of the learners in knowing about a foreign culture. The experiment has also proved that the innovative use of the novel has improved the language skills of the learners. Applications: This method of teaching English through novel can be used in the English taught countries as a second language. Use of novel as a tool is both innovative and useful to the non-native learners.Keywords

Objectives: The study on the Relevance of Communication Skills to the Technical Students in the colleges of Engineering and Technology proposes to examine the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing which is rightly termed as LSRW techniques in language learning. It is also proposed to learn the communication skills which could be enriched the knowledge and ability by regular and continuous practice by the students. The significant point is that the learners should acquire listening and speaking skills in direct and indirect methods. The different types of reading strategies would be adopted to improve reading skills. The writing skills would be acquired by using e-materials and laboratory instruments. Methods: For the purpose of the present analysis a class consisting of 50 students was identified. A pre- test was conducted to assess the levels of the students in understanding of vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation and grammatical structures of the students. After the completion of their assignment or work, a test was conducted again to know the result and improvements in the language learning and the process and development of communication skills among the learners. Findings: A pre –test and post –test was conducted and examined the levels of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of the learners which led to the process and development of communication and further it paved way for the innovative use of LSRW techniques by them. Applications: The method of teaching communication skills could be used in our country where English is taught as a second language in schools, colleges and universities and the use of innovative methods and its relevance which was also useful to non- native language learners.Keywords

Present days, individuals over the universe are getting progressively delicate to their eating routine. Unequal eating routine can cause numerous issues like weight gain, heftiness, sugar, and so forth. So various frameworks were grown to break down food pictures to compute calorie, sustenance level and so on. Food is one of the most significant necessities of each living being on earth. The individuals require their food to be new, unadulterated and of standard quality. The measures forced and computerization completed in food preparing industry deals with food quality. Presently a day, individuals over the universe are getting progressively delicate to their eating regimen. Weight is the significant reason for overweight this prompts the sort II diabetes, coronary illness and malignant growth. Estimating the food is significant for a fruitful solid eating regimen. Estimating calorie and sustenance in everyday food is one of the test techniques. Cell phone assumes a crucial job in the present innovative world utilizing this strategy will upgrade the issue in the admission of dietary utilization.
