Why teaching English should move from being a subject to acquiring a language (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently, I came across the following three questions in an exam paper on Communication Skills taught at the tertiary level: (1) What is the difference between an adjective and an adverb? (2) Define a gerund. (3) What is the difference between a transitive verb and an intransitive verb? It is rather surprising that, even today, English grammar continues to be taught in colleges, and students are tested on their knowledge of grammatical terms, despite having spent around 14 years learning English
Celebrating teachers who touch our lives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever since you started school, you must have interacted with many teachers—class teachers, subject teachers, and tuition teachers. Even after several years, you may still remember your experiences with them for various reasons. Some were kind, affectionate, gentle, friendly, motivating, encouraging, and the list goes on.

Veni, vidi, vici — “I came, I saw, I conquered.” This famous Latin phrase is attributed to Julius Caesar, who reportedly used it after his swift victory at the Battle of Zela in 47 B.C., more than 2000 years ago. Three short words captured the confidence of a conqueror who faced an obstacle and overcame it. More than two millennia late
The hidden traps of confused words (opens the original)

Mother: Then stop going to those places! Doesn’t the conversation sound funny? The child uses the word places to refer to two different locations on his arm—for example, the wrist and the elbow. The mother, however, deliberately interprets places as physical locations, such as a park or a playground. The child’s intended meaning is therefore different from the meaning his mother gives the word. Some people are known for mixing up words while speaking. When a person uses one word in place of anot
