Sign language uses hands, face and eyes rather than vocal cords or ears to communicate. It is not derived from spoken language. Sign languages like American Sign Language (ASL) have their own distinct grammars and are not universal across countries. ASL has its own phonology, morphology, syntax and other linguistic properties similar to spoken languages. It can convey the same complex meanings as spoken languages. The study of sign language provides insights into the nature of all human language.
Language and its components, Reference from T.A. Subba Rao Emmanuel Raj
Communication, speech, language, Language and its Components Such as form, use, content subcomponents such as Phonology, morphology, syntax, prosody, semantics, pragmatics.
Grammar is the science that has as its object of study the components of a language and its combinations. The concept finds its origin in the Latin grammatical term and refers, on the other hand, to the art of mastering a language correctly, both from speech and with writing.

Like many other languages, English also has a wide variation in pronunciation, which not only
marks its differences from other languages but also indicates the deviations observed among English speakers
of dissimilar backgrounds. The uses of stress, pitch as well as syllables apparently vary among native as well as
non-native English speakers. The variances observed in the use and the pronunciation of each syllable in
English becomes more apparent when depending on the use of the phonemes as well as the dialect. In English
speaking, the pronunciation of vowels also differs from the pronunciation of the consonants depending on their
uses. Change in the pronunciation, when speaking English, is observed to be a major characteristic of the
language. On a wider note, English pronunciation is not always predictable depending on the spellings, which
also vary from one region and culture to the other, as in the case of British English and American English.
Depending on the use of rhythm and syllables differently, the pronunciation changes, making it difficult for the
learners to grasp each word separately. However, the uses of the vowels are quite different from the use of the
consonants. Pronunciation of consonants usually changes with the change in its positioning. Spanish speakers
have been observed to be quiet similar to the English speakers. However, the Spanish languages have been
observed to be a bit different from the English speakers in respect to the use of the vowels and consonants. It is
owing to these variations that the meaning of each word changes with the change in its pronunciation.
Accordingly, the research paper elaborates the use of the consonants and place along with their manner of
articulation. Detailed description of the use of consonants has also been provided in the discussion henceforth,
comparing the changes involved with their uses

Language and its components, main components, Sub components, Form
context, Use; Phonology, morphology, syntax, prosody and semantics, pragmatics
T A Subba Rao
Pronunciation is the bridge between you and a native English speaker. It is the first thing that anyone notices about you, when you start to speak. It connects you. Without clear pronunciation, messages can get lost or confused. The listener might even start to feel frustrated because they don't understand what is being said.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. SIGN LANGUAGE
Used primarily by hearing-impaired
people,
Uses a different medium: hands,
face, and eyes (rather than vocal
tract or ears).
NOT derived from spoken language
3. Why Study Sign Language?
Sign Language exhibits same functional
properties and follow same universal
principles as spoken language—possible
evidence of universal grammar (UG).
Study of sign language provides unique
insight into the nature of language itself.
Brain function similarities indicate language
not based on hearing and speech.
4. MYTHS about sign language
It’s universal: NO. ASL =/= British sign language =/=
Spanish sign language
It’s like mime: NO. Some signs may be iconic, but
others are not (e.g.,‘apple’ in ASL). Mime can use the
whole body; sign language uses only an area between
the waist and head.
Has no grammar on its own. NO. ASL is NOT “English
on the hands”. English grammar and ASL grammar are
very different; e.g., ASL has a free word order; ASL
does not have tense markers.
Cannot convey the same meaning/complexities as
spoken language. NO. ASL speakers can express
anything they want in ASL.
5. •A signed language is not the same as a sign language
•ASL (American Sign Language) is one of the world’s
many sign languages
6. ASL Grammar
ASL phonology
Hand-shape, location, movement, palm
orientation (features on their own may
mean nothing)
There’s also assimilation, syllabic
constraints, etc, (as in the in the
phonology of spoken languages).
7. ASL Grammar
ASL morphology
Parts of speech are also nouns (N),verbs (V),
adjectives (A), pronouns (Pro), adverbs (Adv).
A basic form can be inflected in ASL; e.g., Give and
different ‘aspects’ (Clark, p. 84).
Also, nouns are associated with spatial points.
Moving between those mark subject/object and
pronominal relations.
ASL classifiers (relationals) are embedded in V
signals
ASL signs can form compounds
8. ASL Grammar
ASL Syntax
Word order: SVO (same as English).
However, ASL tends to be a free word
order language.
ASL allows PRO drop (“subjectless”
sentences).
Facial expressions express emotions, but
also signal syntactic relationships. “Today
snow. Trip cancel.”
9. Structure of ASL
Five Basic Parameters
Shape of the hand
Place of articulation (location)
Movement
Palm Orientation
Region of the hand contacting body
Orientation of the hand to body
Orientation of hands to each other
Facial Expressions
10. Some differences/similarities
In spoken language, phonemes occur
linearly; in ASL primes cannot (spatial)
ASL involves discrete components, just
like spoken language
ASL has minimal pairs, as does spoken
language (words differing in only one
aspect).
Speakers of both can have dialects
and be perceived to have accents.
12. Sign Language
Dialects and Registers
There are differences between groups within the
same language. Black ASL may have properties
(handshapes, certain position of certain fingers,
size of spaced used, etc) different from other
forms of ASL.
Also, formal vs informal contexts affect some
properties of ASL. For example, deletion is not
common in formal contexts; the signing space is
bigger in formal contexts, etc.
