The Student and the Sea of Words

D. Vijaya Lakshmi, Dr. Bh. V. N. Lakshmi

Abstract :

Language and literature are the effective tools that come to the aid of any individual who wish to see reality through the mist of human emotions. Education primarily is to acquire knowledge. Knowledge is nothing but knowing and knowing comes only through thinking. Thinking is energy. Many students got admission into engineering but ended in confusion. To reduce the complexity and demystify the knowledge of engineering, the modern student requires language and literature to compete with the challenges of advanced tests and courses. This is a challenge not only to the student but also to any teacher in general and to any English teacher in particular. The students’ struggle for word power resembles Santiago’s struggle to win the fish in Hemming Way’s The Old Man and The Sea. Regular and systematic practice of LSRW skills is the only way to strengthen word power. In the process one will learn to feel the words and know the nuances.
