Language has been the backbone of our civilization . Language is the sign of intelligence. No other animal on earth has been proven to have the ability to use language like people. Language allows us to express our thoughts to other people, thus making our intent perfectly clear. Without language, we would be forced to use grunts and hand signals that would make communication difficult, if not impossible. Language is the invention that made life all the easier, so that we do not have to guess other people’s meanings. Language is a system of communication consisting of sounds, words and grammar, or the system of communication used by people in a particular country or type of work. Language can be used in many ways. Most often, it is used to exchange concepts with others. A simple conversation about the weather provides the opportunity for two people to share their idea about the current state; they may both be in agreement that the day is cold, and are able to acknowledge to each other that they, too, are cold as a result of the temperature. Or, if the day is nice, they may be sharing a mutual enjoyment of the weather. Language can also express emotion. The tone or inflection of the voice is a clear sign of a person’s feelings. Also his or her choice of language may signal emotions above tone. A person may use profanity to express strong emotions.
Language can help a person to clarify a thought. Searching for the right word or phrase can best express a thought. To simply say that an object is “nice” does not best suit a situation when a more descriptive word like “sublime,” “exquisite” or “beautiful” is a better indication of the degree to which one has associations with the object. Generally students are afraid of studying language specially English language because it is not our mother tongue and that is why student face difficulties in learning second language so ,pupil tend to learn language through a meaningful approach . Therefore for teachers as well students of language , learning methods are very important . Methods is nothing but a scientific way of presenting the subject, keeping in mind the psychological and physical requirement of the children. For effective learning of language the methods has to be good as content. There are various methods used in language learning . But activity based teaching – learning strategy is very useful in language learning. Now it is important to know what we mean by activity based teaching learning strategies and what includes in activity based teaching learning . Activity-based learningdescribes a range of pedagogical approaches to teaching. Its core premises include the requirement that learning should be based on doing some hands-on experiments and activities. The idea of activity-based learning is rooted in the common notion that children are active learners rather than passive recipients of information. If child is provided the opportunity to explore by their own and provided an optimum learning environment then the learning becomes joyful and long-lasting. The key feature of the activity based learning method is that it uses child-friendly educational aids to develop self-learning and allows a child to study according to his/her aptitude and skill. Under the system, the curriculum is divided into small units, each a group of Self Learning Materials comprising attractively designed study cards for English, science and Social Science. When a child finishes a group of cards, he completes one "milestone". Activities in each milestone include games, rhymes, drawing, and songs to teach a letter or a word, form a sentence, do math and science, or understand a concept. The child takes up an Exam Card only after completing all the milestones in a subject. On a common chart, the milestones are arranged in the form of a ladder and the child knows exactly which milestone he completed in the last lesson. This is a child-friendly way to evaluate and reinforce learning. If a child is absent one day, he/she continues from where he/she left unlike in the old system where the children had to learn on their own what they missed out on. Therefore in this paper, the author has made an attempt to discuss about activity- based teaching- learning strategy in language

Self-esteem has been correlated to: job success, school achievement, interpersonal compatibility, and general happiness (Redenbach, 1991). The author was curious to know if Self Esteem was a correlate of academic achievement of B Ed students. The participants of the study were 1037 students were drawn proportionately from 14 B Ed colleges. The findings reveal that there is a positive, negligible and significant relationship between Academic Achievement and Self-esteem among the participants.

In a constructivist classroom the role of the teacher is not to disseminate information, but to become a facilitator to help students actively construct their own knowledge. Individual differences among students have highlighted the fact that each of us has different learning styles. There are three learning modalities or learning styles: Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic. This is also known as the VAK model. Researches have indicated the importance of utilising different instructional or teaching strategies to accommodate different learning styles and promote students’ academic achievement. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. The present paper attempts to show how the three learning styles can be accommodated using examples of Cooperative Learning teaching strategies as classroom activities. These activities encourage learners become active during the teaching learning process, which is the core feature of constructivism.

Human being are so fortunate as they can communicate and for effective communication we all need language. Whenever the word \\\'language\\\' comes, we can remember one more word i.e. \\\'grammar\\\'. Still many people speak their own, native language without studied its grammar. Children also start speaking before they even know the word “grammar”. But when it comes to learn any foreign language, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently.” Here the importance of grammar lies. The role of teacher is again considered important. Graphic Organizers can be used for effective teaching learning process.

A change in the status of the women is a good gauge of the pattern and direction of social change. If the direction of that change is towards a more democratic distribution of roles between men and women, in tune with the constitutional directives, then the course of change is a wholesome one. If however, the various modernizing process result in an intensification of inequalities, then we are moving away from the spirit of the constitution. In the present paper, the author has discussed the status of rural women on three planks viz.., socio-cultural, society’s attitude towards the role of rural women and economic. The economic status of rural women has been assessed in relation to agricultural industrial Sector.
