JANE AUSTEN’S MOST WIDELY MOCKED CHARACTER IS ALSO HER MOST SUBVERSIVE IN DEFENSE OF  PRIDE AND PREJUDICE 'S MRS. BENNET July 18, 2017   By  Rachel Dunphy Share: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 8K+ Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window) More Of all the delightful idiots filling the pages of our well-worn copies of  Pride and Prejudice (hint: this is everyone except maybe Charlotte), one of the best is also one of the most overlooked—even by Jane Austen, who never grants her a first name. Mrs. Bennet, mother to the five Bennet sisters and incorrigible social gadfly, is largely dismissed by both the book’s readers and its facetious narrator, but she is perhaps the most radical character in the novel.

On Writing: Spark the Learners’ Interest for Writing

The nature and the necessity of writing Well-verified classroom reality attests that writing and writing production tasks constitute a multilayered procedure. As such, writing deviates from other aspect of language teaching in requiring holistic and prompt recall of language input.  The differentiating of proper writing guidance is its productive element; irrefutably so, writing entails immediate, plentiful and proper employment of linguistic skills. This is the point that makes the issue of teaching students how to write notoriously thorny for the instructor. On an extensive scale, it is highly personal; writing is subjective and unique even with the very identical writer at different times or under different circumstances. Yet, our call is the constructible part of the procedure. Everyone can be guided into an effective writer. Subconsciously English learners erroneously sense they are burdened with the presentation of impeccable pieces of written interlocution, strai...
