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.

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.

The leadership style is the result of the philosophy, personality and experience of the leader. What the leader does determines how well he leads. A style of leadership is relatively enduring set of behavior of individual, regardless of the situation. Different situations call for different leadership style. In an emergency when there is little time to converge on an agreement and where a designated authority has significantly more experience or expertise than the rest of the team, autocratic leadership style may be most effective; however, in a highly motivated and aligned team with homogeneous level of expertise, a more democratic or laissez-faire style may be more effective. The present paper highlights the Study of Leadership Style of Teachers on the Basis of Experienceat Secondary Schools of Thane District.

This paper discusses yoga as a potential tool for children to deal with stress and regulate themselves. Yoga provides training of mind and body to bring emotional balance. We argue that children and young people need such tools to listen inward to their bodies, feelings, and ideas. Yoga may assist them in developing in sound ways, to strengthen themselves, and be contributing social beings. First, we address how children and young people in today’s world face numerous expectations and constant stimulation through the Internet and other media and communication technologies. One reason why children experience stress and mental health challenges is that globalization exposes the youth all over the world to various new demands, standards, and options. There is also increased pressure to succeed in school, partly due to increased competition but also a diverse range of options available for young people in contemporary times than in the past. A main concept in our article is that yoga may help children and young people cope with stress and thus, contribute positively to balance in life, well-being, and mental health. We present research literature suggesting that yoga improves children’s physical and mental well-being. Similarly, yoga in schools helps students improve resilience, mood, and self-regulation skills pertaining to emotions and stress.

Constructivist approach is the most important and remarkable approach in the current scenario of teaching-learning. Constructivist believes that ‘knowledge’ is the result of individual constructions of reality. Knowledge is the result of the accurate internalization and reconstruction of external reality. (Cognitive) knowledge is constructed from one’s experience but is not an accurate representation of external reality (radical). Knowledge is the outcome of social interaction (social).The instructional issue in constructivist learning is the role of social interaction. Thus, the present paper focuses on how to facilitate cognitive processes in learners through social interaction. Instructional methods such as team teaching, brainstorming, experiential learning, co-operative learning, cognitive learning, cognitive apprenticeship problem –based learning and discovery learning strategies require that a student learn as a part of a group. The paper also elaborate upon the characteristics of constructivist classroom and the process of constructivist learning.
