Academic visiting : Ankur School (Bhavnagar)

                                          Yesterday, We visited 'Ankur School' at Sardarnagar in Bhavnagar. First Time I went to there through organization by Department of English ( MKBU). Once upon a time in India Disable child has not proper space in education journey and even in family membership. I saw mostly people misbehave with any types of disable children and person also. So My question is that, Why society hate with  them ? May be you will listen name of " Stephen Hawking". He was Physically disable. He can't wear own clothe himself but he worked a lot as Scientific researcher. Can you imagine how he do it ?. Every person has own hidden ability but Who is searching this ability?  are you ? am I ? Parents? School?...

                                             Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Disability is thus not just a health problem. It is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives.
                                                                                            — World Health Organization, 

                                              The students of department of English visited ' Ankur School ' for special Children. When We go to Ankur School for special children during that I felt that We  were going to meet of "God". First of We managed vehicles for how we wil go through there ? It is nice experience for me.

                                              This school is working for Special children. Bhavna Andhariya Mehta gave all information about them. She explain very well about structure of building, roll of teachers, How to train special children ? and also about management of the school. When we visited special children in class room, I felt that We have more things and ability rather than them. So that Why we give to excuse for do something ?

                                             Bhavna Mehta explained about vivid therapy like as, Music therapy, Play therapy, Physio occupational therapy..etc. She was added that, " We can't grow IQ of special children but We trained them. She gave training like as, How to sleep on bed, How to wearing clothe, How to close button also? It means that they have not able to own work also. They used various factor for became able like as, yoga, Projector, Technical instruments, Play- ground events, Vivid Music and Various game...etc. She give information about 'The National Trust'. 

                                            We do more interaction with her. She gave replied of the questions with interestingly. She talked that, they divided children into many categories by intellectualism e.g. High-per, Pre- Vocational....etc. In Pre-Vocational Class students learnt to remembering mobile number, Address, Painting, How to identify color?. They seldom made of paper bag. They will always trained for earning income. So that they are making things for celebration and selling during festivals of Diwali, Rakshabandhann, Navratri...etc. They organized various competition on the play ground and get many great prizes. 

                                        When We go to saw in room there are very few students in the class. Normally they all students emotionally connected with teachers and visitors also. They lived in own different world. They can't understand rules of Society. She said, This school gave education without fees and  She more added that Mostly students came in Poor family. Generally Students came with parents, through bus and rickshaw. In this school has probably available 30 teachers working for better them. Sometimes We used money without useless like as, for religion events, Smoking, drinking, for personal perspective...etc. So I request that, You must used money and anything help for Special children". It is best way use of money.

                                                At the end of the visiting of the school Bhavna Mehta said that If you have not money even anything So you can only give Smile, Looking nicely them, don't hurt them.You will be see special children surrounding in society So you will guide or help them.

 
                                              Moreover thanks to Bhavna Andhariya Mehta for give permission and making us enter into the life of the special children and letting witness the journey of their struggle and interaction with us. It was great experience for me. I can't forget it. Thanks for Prof. Dilip Barad sir and Vaidehi Ma'am for organizing academic visiting and thanks a lot students of English department for joining us.

I hope that you will enjoy a lot read my blog...

Thank you... 

Film Screening : Charlie Chaplin

Thinking Activity : On movie "Charlie Chalin in Modern Times..."

                                             Charlie Chaplin’s films are mostly minimum use of language. During his time known age of ‘Silent era film’. So He said many things and critical view without language. It means that he try to say in movie through facial expression, body languages, gesture – posture. So I can say that his films like as Controversy film. He was played roll as an actor, comedian, Director and critics also who working in motion pictures spanned from 1914 to 1967. 

                                             Charlie Chaplin and Hitler both are lived in same era. Both have Similarity in looks and wearing in Cloth. But Different things are that Hitler Known likes as, violence man and hunter man because he believed and his motto was that, ‘Victory, Revolution and development of the country will be achieve through cut head of people rather than change head of people.’ So that people remember Hitler as a criminal. According to my opinion he was a good leader and he has knowledge how to rule on people? But History prove that, always Victory achieve by change of mind. Do you agree with this point? Another side Charlie Chaplin tries to laugh people by movie. So that people don’t forgot him as comedian. 

                                             Once upon a time America has known as Country for Art and ability people. In present time America has famous for land of liberty, land for business. So that it is appropriate ‘Status of Liberty’ for America. If you have skills, Creative mind, Idea of development , American government also help a lot and always give some space for that rather than another country. Am I right?
                                             Many times Department of English organized academic movie screening. So that Nowadays We will learn in sem-3 Paper no. 9 ‘Modernist English Literature’ by Pro. Dilip Barad Sir Who decide to See movie “ Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times” for better understanding. 

                                                  In this movie I find that Chaplin has ability to tell tragic story with comic way. He used highly Comic tone in the movie. Mostly we will go to watch comedy film for entertainments but here we observed film for purpose of literature. I can find Chaplin interpreted all the things and problem of that day with critical way. He tried to satire on Economical system, Industrialization and political system. We can say that It is Anti- Capitalist Film. Moreover he put Critical observation on Mechanical life and Industrialization and what was dream or desire of Society’s people? It means that in the movie reflected spirit of times and Chaplin’s days’.


                                           ‘Charlie Chaplin in Modern times’ movie Started with Certificate of British board and full screen image of watch. I think it was represented importance of time and it was connection between clock and leg of human. Mostly Our routine life depended on artificial marker like as, Calendar and time. According to my point of view that joblessness, Poverty and homelessness will be inspire to become thief, Cheater and Criminal also. Do you believe it? I will give you example; When Students completed study and get all degrees although they haven’t job. So that they try to join anything for money, family, food and home. We clearly find terrorist people very intellectual and Smart because they will come from educational field. Why are they joining there? One reason is jobless. 

                                              I liked opening of film also because Movie started with ringing clock- running Sheep – Coming crowd of people like as Sheep also. It is nice organization by director. Another thing I can found development of technology and machine like as, CCTV Camera, Automatic machine for eating food. It is symbol of Industrialization and madness for machinery. How technologies help us? And how it’s harmful? There are good example and experiment in the film. In this movie I saw controlled by capitalist people on laborer. They don’t do work but also give only order and sit in front of CCTV Camera. Laborer has no time for deep breath.

                                               One scene is ‘flag of red color’. Our hero picks up flag at that time crowd come behind him and he became leader of group but we know that police caught him and he closed into jail. Many comic scenes in cell. One is when police searching for smuggled ‘nose-powder.’ It’s very interesting part. There was a one scene in the prison of knitting. When woman had not freedom for writing or express their opinions or feelings they were doing knitting also. It was also symbolism. 

                                        Another part of the movie is ‘The gamin…’ in that part story of motherless little sisters and story of one of the unemployed father. Her father also died by shooting gun on the street then the law takes charges of orphans. The picture of newspaper reading is reflected American condition and image of nation that day. He saved police from jailer people and he met minister and his wife during that time I can find difference between rich and poor people there. In the jail Sheriff (like as Mayor) gave letter for get work & job. Same as I can find in movie ‘Shree 420’. In this movie hero has ‘medal of honesty.’ Here I will compare also certificate of Uni. 

                                        Next part of the movie has central theme is loneliness and hungry. She became thief for food who was stole a loaf of bread and run away from shop. But our hero saved her life and he went to jail again. Both are imagine for little home and food. In the movie I can find food normally like as, Chicken, eggs, bread, fruit, grapes, milk of cow, loaf, banana…etc. It was food culture of American society. 

                                         Last part of the movie both are get steady (permanent) job in cafe but police found them and both are run away from there. Here I can find that camera don’t close up of women body. It means that during that time society and people haven’t hunger for women body. So this film is example of beyond modern female working. At the End of movie very symbolic way like as “Dawn”. It is symbol of new days and also hopes. Both are walking on the road. Road also passed through mountain which indicates happy journey. 

Some interesting subtitles and sentences put by Directed like as,

Thanks to Pro. Dilip Barad sir for organizing this movie screening session and thanks for give ideas of new way looking of movie.

I hope you will enjoy reading my blog.

Thank you…

ELT-1 Bilingualism,Trilingualism, Multilingualism

Here given task by Vaidehi Ma'am , So the link is given below:

https://vaidehi09.blogspot.com/2018/06/bilingualism-trilingualism-and.html

• What is language?

                                      Language is a set of Symbols being used mainly for Communication. The Symbols may be Spoken, Written, action and gesture…etc.

“A language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of which a social group co- operates.”
                                                                                                                                - Bloch and Trager

“Language is the expression of ideas by means of speech –sounds combined in to words. Words are combined in to sentences this combination answering to that of ideas in to thoughts." 

• Language Acquisition:

“Language Acquisition is the Subconscious development off language that takes place as a result of interactions and input."

• Language learning:

“Language learning is the result of direct instruction in the rules, structures or lexis of the languages.

1.) Bilingualism:
                                           

                                               Defining Bilingualism in just a few words is not simple, as each individual has different bilingual characteristics but I can say in briefly its means that ability to speak in two languages. In Another words I say Bilingualism is the ability of an individual or the members of a community to use two languages effectively. It is the use of two languages, either by an individual speaker or by community of speakers. It’s called ‘Bilingualism’. Here I put example of Bilingualism. 

Happy Birthday:

3.) Multilingualism:

                                 Multilingualism is the use of more than one language, either by an individual speaker or by a community of speakers. People who speak several languages are also called Polyglots. So here I put following example and words of Multilingualism like as,
