വളരെ സങ്കടം തോന്നുന്നു

           എന്റെ ഹാർഡ് ഡിസ്ക് ബോർഡ് കംപ്ലൈന്റ്റ്‌ ആയതു കൊണ്ട് അതിലെ ഒന്നും ഉപയോഗിക്കുവാൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല. മറ്റൊരു ബാക്ക് അപ്പും എനിക്കില്ല താനും. പേടിക്കേണ്ട കാര്യമില്ലല്ലോ... എല്ലാം ബ്ലോഗിൽ അപ്പ്‌ ലോഡ് ചെയ്തിട്ടുണ്ടല്ലോ എന്ന് വിശ്വസിച്ചിരുന്നു. പത്താം ക്ലാസിന് തിങ്കളാഴ്ച പറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്ന പരീക്ഷയ്ക്കായി Revision Test Series ഇന്ന് തുറന്നു നോക്കിയപ്പോൾ ഞെട്ടി പോയി. മുഴുവൻ വെട്ടി നശിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു !!!!
           ഒന്നുകിൽ അറിവില്ലായ്മ കൊണ്ട് പറ്റിയ അബദ്ധമാവാം അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വല്ല കുട്ടികളും കാട്ടിയ സാമൂഹിക വിരുദ്ധതയാവാം. കാരണം എന്തായാലും ഇതിന്റെ പിന്നിൽ കഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടവരുടെ വേദന ഒന്ന് മനസ്സിലാക്കുക...
            നാട്ടിലെ സ്കൂളിൽ ജോലി ചെയ്യുന്നതിനാൽ അദ്ധ്യാപനം കൂടാതെ സ്കൂളിലെ മറ്റ് പല എക്സ്ട്രാ ജോലികളും ചെയ്തിട്ട് വന്ന് കുടുംബത്തിന്റെ സമയം കൂടി കവർന്ന് ചില അവസരങ്ങളിൽ അർദ്ധരാത്രി വരെയൊക്കെ ഇരുന്നു തയ്യാറാക്കിയവയാണ് ഒട്ടു മിക്ക നോട്ടുകളും. അയച്ചു കിട്ടുന്നവയാണ്‌ ഭൂരിപക്ഷമെങ്കിലും മണിക്കൂറുകൾ മിനക്കെട്ടാണ് അവയെ പബ്ലിഷ് ചെയ്യാവുന്ന പരുവത്തിലാക്കിയെടുക്കുന്നത്. ആ അധ്വാനമാണ് ചിലരുടെ അറിവില്ലായ്മയോ അഹങ്കാരമോ കാരണം പാഴായിപ്പോകുന്നത്.

മറുപടി നിങ്ങൾ പറയുക... (ഈ പോസ്റ്റ് പബ്ലിഷ് ചെയ്തിട്ട് ഇന്ന് [28.08.2014] രണ്ട് മാസം തികഞ്ഞു. ആകെ ഒരു കമന്റ് മാത്രം. ഇത്ര സ്വാർത്ഥരായവർക്കു വേണ്ടിയാണോ ഈ ബ്ലോഗ്‌ നടത്തുന്നത് എന്ന് ചിന്തിച്ചു പോയതിൽ തെറ്റ് ഉണ്ടോ ?)

NB : നശിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട മറ്റ് ഏതെങ്കിലും നോട്സ് / പോസ്റ്റുകൾ ശ്രദ്ധയിൽ പെട്ടിട്ടുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ ഇവിടെ കമന്റ് ചെയ്ത് അറിയിക്കണേ... പബ്ലിഷ് ചെയ്ത 275-ൽ പരം  പോസ്റ്റുകൾ ഒരാൾ തനിയെ ചെക്ക് ചെയ്യുക എളുപ്പമല്ലല്ലോ...

A great Cheat-Sheet for mastering English Tense

Dear Teachers,
                   I think it would be nice if we could include a "learn grammar" link on our site's home page, alongside the links for various classes. You sure must have seen sites like englishpage.com.

                    I think there is no point in having separate packages for bright and weak students. If our idea is to keep things simple, why split it into easy and hard? Everything gets a bit harder as we move along; we should just focus on getting the basics right. A more practical approach, I think, would be to have separate material for UP, HS and HSS.

              I'm sending you, for your feedback, a pdf of a cheat-sheet I prepared for explaining English tense to my students. (The title is intentionally flashy; the kids do hate tense and grammar, after all ;-)  When I attempted teaching tense, I found it nearly impossible to sustain their interest and attention as I explained the 12 tenses individually.

                 So I tried an alternate method - first I would explain the three SIMPLE TENSES in one go, and then introduce the rest of the tenses as the THREE ASPECTS. I have found it to be a more intuitive way to explain tenses. I just tell them that one aspect is for actions in a complete state (PERFECT), another for actions in an incomplete state (PROGRESSIVE) and the third for actions in a prolonged state of continuity (PERFECT PROGRESSIVE). I found it better to avoid the term continous tense, because students tend to confuse it with the perfect continuous tense which actually shows continuity.

                         I could explain it all in an hour, without having to write down the "Subj.+ aux + verb + @#$!... "  formulas for each. I put all these points down on print and give them photocopies. I added quiet a few sample sentences for each tense to illustrate my point. The students tend to grasp the idea better using this method. Then I included other things like irregular verbs and Auxiliaries. Then added a reference chart for passive voice and interrogative sentences, on the last page.

                  It's a bit confusing to the uninitiated learner. But after a few weeks of refering back to it in between regular lessons, they would get the idea and then, each item on the cheat sheet would become handy as a memory aid and reference chart. At least, I hope so.

I would value your feedback a lot.

Please tell others about English Blog

Dear Sir / Madam / Parents / Students,
           English Blog was started on 5th September 2011. Since then English Blog has been providing study materials for Kerala Syllabus classes 5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12. We have also tried to include materials for Std. 1,2,3 and 4 (though not successful). We were one of the first of educational blogs that published SCERT First Term and Second Term question bank in 2011. SCERT First Term question bank was password protected yet we made it available for the general public when the time of secrecy was over. Thus we started providing study materials for Kerala Syllabus Malayalam, Hindi, Social Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths and I.T.other than English.
           It is 2 years and 8 months now..... What made me write this post is the surprising fact that 95% of the English Teachers of our state do not know that there exists such a blog for their help. I realised this when I went to the valuation camp at Kottayam, this year. There were around 200 teachers there but not more than 15 knew about English Blog !!!!!!!!! From a person who visited all the valuation camps I came to know that English Blog is popular in some northern districts like Malappuram and Palakkad.. From the rest of the districts very few enquired about it. 
          What adds to my surprise is the reality that if an English teacher searches something related to any of the chapters in our English Texts, the Google will display English Blog in the first 10 search results. This being the fact if there are a huge number of English teachers who do not know about the existence of such a blog for them. That means, either they don't search for materials in the internet or they are indifferent to such a blog. 
           Then the question arises... Who are we blogging for ? What is the use of running such a blog spending money from my pocket ?
