'To be or not to be' Situation .............!

-

                                           ‘To be or not be’ situation …….!
We see and read different comments as well as images upon Social Medias like what’s up, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram etc. sometime we like these comments and also appreciate it. But we also come to know the comments inappropriate to these posts or stories. That same thing happened with my friend. It was somewhat funny and interesting one. Then these comments raised serious note over our understanding. Let me share that story with you.
                       My friend runs school at city area. There he frequently requires teachers for his school. Some time he finds difficulty to get the teachers. So he advertises his school ad in the local newspapers.  But this time he uploaded his school ad on his Facebook account and expected good response. He mentioned the requirement of the teachers and their qualification by provision the contact details. So that anybody could call him or come at the school. 
                               After one day he received lots of notifications on his mobile. At first he thought that he would have got good response related to that post and definitely the teachers would join immediately. He became confused, as soon as he opened his account and found funny comments on his post. These were reactions like ‘Congratulations, well done, superb, nice, and number of smiley  or images ‘like, love, smile, wow’.  By that time he realized that the friends didn’t understand the purpose of his post. He thought that they might not have read it. Another reason they reacted at it hurriedly.
                                  However he didn’t get disappointed of such comments. But his biggest problem was what replies to be given to those comments such as ‘congratulations, well done, superb, and good’. On the other hand, he was happy that he didn’t accept the friends’ request of 600 people. Otherwise he would have seen more comments and worried over the replies. For the three days he was totally puzzled about it and had serious question  either he wanted to delete the post or reply to these comments.
                                     He became the character like ‘Hamlet’ of Shakespeare’s drama. He was thinking of delete or reply to that post as it happened with Hamlet ‘To be or not to be’. There are many such incidents happen on social media, but nobody cares of what comment and smiley to be used.       
-        Do you think such posts are misunderstood by us? Why?
-        Does it happen due to hurry or language problem?
-        Do you have any similar incident where are comments inappropriate?
-        Any thought?

My teaching techniques for English language learners.

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
