Within this time, the mode of language learning has been revolutionized, by increasing user-accessibility, comfort, and exposure. The most influential types of new media\u0000 used globally are computer-assisted applications, video-on-demand websites, and social network sites.Objectives: The present study has three objectives – to review the impact of new media on language learning; to determine the differences between the effects of new media language-learning\u0000 and traditional style of language learning; and to understand the assistance provided by new media technology in the language learning of populations with learning disabilities.Method: Literature review method was adopted.Results: The findings of the present paper highlights how new\u0000 media has impacted language learning by generating greater accessibility, exposure to content, and user-self-efficacy – which is beneficial with the learning disability population. It has been found that the most effective way of language learning is an amalgamation of new media and\u0000 conventional face-to-face language learning style. However, this content of language learning has faced degradation. The present study therefore proposes the NMCQ (New Media Content Quality) model. It provides a synthesis of effective new media language learning by matching the quantity of\u0000 language learners with the quality of content being learned. It proposes an amalgamation of new media technology and human assistance in promoting effective methods of linguistic development.Conclusion: It has been found that new media alone cannot proliferate optimal language learning,\u0000 and the quality of content may not be ideal. Nevertheless, new media is beneficial in the efficiency of language learning in terms of accessibility, exposure and cultural assimilation. With the growing global foreign economy, the need for language learners has gained importance. Therefore,\u0000 the significance of new media cannot be understated in this domain.","PeriodicalId":412100,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of English Learning & Teaching Skills","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124584909","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}

They were able to rapidly adapt the interests of then popular interest and reflect different contemporary themes., and to represent different contemporary themes. The charm of the Kalighat paintings lies in the fact that they captured the essence of everyday life\u0000 and have inspired contemporary artists like the late Jamini Roy even to this day.

The play revolves around the main protagonist Prospero who emerges as an all-knowing, benevolent patriarch who acts as the puppet-master who determines the fate\u0000 of all the other characters in the play by virtue of his magic. Until the advent of post-colonial criticism, Anglo-American critics frequently read The Tempest as an allegory about artistic creation and Prospero was perceived to be a representation of Shakespeare himself whose motives\u0000 are beyond reproach.The Post-colonial readings of The Tempest, provides us a deeper and a more insightful perspective of the play. A close inspection of his masterpieces gives us a glimpse of various aspects of the prevailing social structures, gender and cast roles, political conditions,\u0000 beliefs and superstitions. The prevailing gender discrimination becomes evident by Prospero’s treatment toward Caliban (a black slave) as opposed to his behavior toward Ariel (a white slave) and his depiction of Sycorax. Claribel wedding also provides a glimpse of racial prejudice and\u0000 the discrimination based on colour.Another major concept that comes to the limelight with the Post-colonial readings of The Tempest is the gender discrimination. These patriarchal ideals are heavily noted in The Tempest, especially with the appearance of the single female character, Miranda.\u0000 Claribel is yet another example of how women were expected to play a passive, submissive role in the society. This is further enhanced by the lack of any other female character in the entire play. Depiction of Sycorax also provides us a glimpse of the deep rooted misogyny in the patriarchal\u0000 society.Shakespeare often used social issues as a way to explore the way society functioned, using the stage to present a microcosm that represented the larger macrocosm of the universe. Thus critical analysis of The Tempest provides us with an accurate depiction of the social constructs,\u0000 gender bias and the racial discrimination prevalent in the Elizabethan Era.","PeriodicalId":412100,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of English Learning & Teaching Skills","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124328772","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}

In the present scenario, our life has become one long race where everyone is running to beat others, and in this process, we have become more and more mechanical. The advent of technology has catalysed this process of mechanisation. We forget\u0000 to learn, but only keep memorizing as much as we can stuff in our brain. We do not gain in-depth knowledge but a memorized knowledge which is more likely to be forgotten after some time, but it does not necessarily need to be so.
