This document provides a contrastive analysis of the English and Indian languages, specifically focusing on differences in parts of speech, gender, case markers, plural formation, and false cognates between English, Hindi, Tamil, and other Indian languages. Some key differences highlighted include:
- Indian languages have gender assigned to inanimate nouns while English does not.
- Case markers in Hindi are written separately unlike Dravidian languages which suffix case markers.
- Plural formation in English can include suffixing -s, changing internal vowels, or using entirely different words, while Indian languages use suffixes.
- False friends exist between Indian languages where the same word can have different meanings.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Contrastive analysis is a systematic branch of applied
linguistics which deals with the linguistic description of the
structure of two or more different languages.
The concept of contrastive analysis was first introduced by
Charles Fries in (1952), and fully described by Robert Lado in
his book Linguistics across Cultures (1957).
Such descriptive comparison serves to show how languages
differ in their sound system, grammatical structure and
vocabulary.
3. This type of analysis can be used in language teaching
among others, to point out the areas where the similarities
and contrast between the two languages are present.
These differences are the main cause of difficulty in the
learning of the second language.
In contrastive analysis, we study the structures of two
languages from two different families (i.e., the source
language and the target language) in order to determine the
points where they differ.
4. Word classes
