It is found that games make lessons' enjoyable to students, minimize students' anxiety, help students recall vocabulary easily and naturally, and bring context to the classroom. The review also revealed that games such as The Sims, and Semantic Boggle are amongst the most widely used games for vocabulary retention. Teachers are advised to use the suitable vocabulary games for teaching vocabulary and link the games with the course content.

The focus has been on interactive communicative and task-based teaching methodologies. With the class moving online, there is a need to develop new activities and creative tasks to engage learners in foreign language environment. The present paper highlights the need for language teachers to take the role of facilitator and engage leaners in online-based activities and tasks. The paper also lists some online-based tasks and activities which can generate noticeably greater desire to learn the language and eventually, higher comprehensible language output. Employing a wide range of collaborative project-based tasks gives learners opportunity to develop their vocabulary to express varied concepts, handle authentic language input and gradually the language creeps into learner’s daily life without an intentional effort. A continuous and enthusiastic support of the teacher is imperative for generating greater interest in learners and for accomplishing these objectives.","PeriodicalId":205934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the faculty of Education","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125497074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the four language skills, listening the fundamental skill, remains as one of the most neglected skills in classroom activities. The existing language teaching system in Kerala pays little attention to develop it. When listening comprehension (LC) of the learner is not given the right opportunity to develop it that will lead to poor language proficiency. The focus of this paper is to analyse the listening comprehension needs of English as a second language (ESL) learners in Kerala and to suggest how ICT resources can be used to address them. The paper concludes with the finding that if integrated judiciously and used appropriately, ICT resources can play a great role in developing the language proficiency and Listening comprehension of second language learners. ","PeriodicalId":205934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the faculty of Education","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132529054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An ability to communicate in English is extremely essential in the professional career. Soft skills are the skills which directly help job aspirants to get desired jobs. They are acquired and developed. Employers value soft skills more than technical skills while recruiting the freshers. Soft skills are the desirable traits of a person’s personality. There are many soft skills but to name just a few important ones are like: interpersonal skills, ability to work in a team and team management, problem solving skills, analytical thinking, positive body language, creativity, capacity to think logically, strong professional or work ethics and communication skills. Though English is a second language for many people, it can be acquired and mastered through consistent practice and dedication. Speaking English in acceptable pronunciation, possessing vocabulary, clarity of thought, speech and expression are key requirements to master English and to become effective communicator as well. Acquiring soft skills is difficult but one can acquire them through conscious efforts and consistent practice. They help graduates get jobs and feel comfortable and confident in the professional scenario. They are essential qualities for students, teachers, professionals and everyone who wishes to succeed in his or her professional career. For freshers, soft skills help to start a smooth journey from campus to corporate. Nowadays, recruiting firms emphasize more on soft skills than core skills. As the modern workplace is interpersonal, customers also demand soft skills from professionals. It can be said that the future workplace will fully rely on effective communication skills and soft skills. The research paper is an attempt to prepare the list of need-based communication skills and soft skills and provide guidelines on how to acquire them. This can help graduates to take a smooth journey from campus to corporate and succeed in their career. The paper is an attempt to highlight the essential aspects of English and soft skills. It is also an attempt to formulate and provide various useful strategies and ways through which freshers can learn and master English and soft skills.","PeriodicalId":205934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the faculty of Education","volume":"279 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115839821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system of morphemes and phonemes within it make an utterance meaningful. Debates over the strategies to be implemented in the acquisition of a language have reached its zenith during the modern times. Language learning should be a natural process and proficiency in the different skills of the language is significant.   Language acquisition device (LAD) and the age of the learner is significant in language learning.  Proficiency in a language can vary according to the need of the learner- Second language (L2) or foreign language (FL). Different genres of literature can be used as a means to imbibe language. The role of the teacher in teaching a foreign language like English at different levels is highly demanding. Progressive modern teaching is activity based, skill oriented and demonstrative   giving emphasis to uniqueness and creativity of the learner. The recent developments in Stylistics and language proposes the emergence of a new discipline. In this technologically advanced world, the role of the teacher has to be refashioned to suit the scenario. Innovative strategies should be implemented to engage the learner at graduate level so as to arouse his/her creativity to emerge successful in practical life.","PeriodicalId":205934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the faculty of Education","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129378859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
