Teaching and usage of “articles” in English grammar
Before embarking on a journey to “discover meaning of articles” in English grammar, it is very important to understand the meaning of grammar and its relationship with the language itself. Thornbury (1999) defines grammar as “a description of the rules for forming sentences, including an account of the meanings that these forms convey”. He says that grammar enables us to use language in terms of how, where and when things happen, and it also facilitates the way we interact with each other. However, not only grammar but contextual information also plays an important role in the interpretation and understanding of various forms of communication. He discusses strong arguments both in the favour of and against teaching grammar.

Profile of an effective ESL teacher
This article investigates the profile of an effective teacher of English as second language (ESL). An effective teacher is one who can teach a course successfully. Successful teaching begins with designing a suitable syllabus for a course. Sometimes the syllabus for a course is already available. In that case, a teacher must plan lessons in a manner to complete the designed course work within the prescribed time. In case the syllabus is not available, it becomes a challenge for a teacher to decide what to teach in the course. Under these circumstances, a teacher must consider the students’ academic background, level of knowledge in the subject, scope of the course and then design it accordingly. Sometimes government sponsored language benchmarks are available as a guide that define the syllabus and lesson plans for different levels of teaching, for example, Holmes et al. (2001) and Pawlikowska-Smith (2002). This essay examines the characteristics of an effective language teacher including how he/she develops a syllabus, uses various teaching methods, plans lessons, manages the classroom, uses various technologies, evaluates learners, and finally uses his/her personality for effective teaching.

Linguistic characteristics of Indian English
Indian English is a collective phrase for the dialects or varieties of English spoken widely in India. Variations in the pronunciation of several phonemes are affected by the regional tongues across India, the greatest distinction being that between South India and North India. Several idiomatic forms from Indian languages have made their way into the English of the masses. Despite India’s diversity, however, there is indeed a general homogeneity in syntax and vocabulary that can be found among speakers across India. The form of English that Indians are taught in schools is essentially British English. However, the influence of American English, due to the burgeoning influence of American pop culture on the rest of the world, has begun challenging traditional British English as the premier brand of English spoken in India, though this is largely limited to the youth in the last three decades (CIIL website).

Enrichment of English through globalization
The linguistic and cultural diversity among Homo sapiens is remarkable and difficult to fathom. Socio-linguistic identities are also very strong. At present there are thousands of languages and dialects spoken around the world. Languages are like biological species, they originate, evolve, and constantly change for a certain period and finally become extinct. We will never know how many languages existed in the past, how long they existed, how many people spoke to them, and in what part of the world where they used. Such questions fall under the realm of proto linguistics. The answers to these questions are investigated by anthropologists and archaeologists. Even though mankind had a quest for a universal language, unfortunately they never had one. Traditionally people have lived in communities that were spread over limited geographical boundaries and had their own language for communication. The problem of inter-communal communication must have been quite severe in the past due to lack of a common language, and most probably was the source of misunderstandings, mistrust, and conflicts.
