  First of all this movie about the two boy. They born on that time when was India got freedom. name that two boys like saleem and Shiva. They both are in main character and play the role of main person in the movie. The character selection in the movie very impressionable . This film starting with relationship and magic realism, which is connected with the post-moderinsm literature.As we all konw India get freedom in the midnight . After the freedoms we can face the many problems , fighting ,crises between Hindu and Muslim , even also fight, criese happen with rich class peopel and poor class people .  This story of three genrattion - Grandparent , parents, grandson ,story deals with story of birth and life of saleem. saleem is the narrator of the story in this movie.when India get freedom on that midnight so many children's birth on the midnight and Shiva and saleem they both are part of that children's , that children came with magical power.Shiva and saleem both are born in the Sam hospital but one  belongs to  rich family ( doctor)  and second came from poor family (/his father play sing and sing the music and dance ) Nurse interchanged bothof the children.saleem and Shiva and they all child midnights child that is way that are meet with each other. saleem talk with they all child but Shiva hates saleem because he is child of rich family. and at the beetwen nurse accept his mistake for interchanged of boys.saleem lives the life of Shiva and at the end they know that very well they are live the each others life. Adam the child of the Saleem and patvati and they both are knows his child dignity. And they both children symbolic , and in the movie and novel  character of the saleem victim of the post- colonialism.

Second movie is " The Reluctant fundamentalist " which is written by Mohnish Hamid and this movie directed by Mira Nair. The sorry about the changez khan who is the coming from Pakistani family . And  in this movie changez khan leading main role. In this movie reflects the relationship between the two nation like America and Pakistan. changez goes to America for the degree and he wants to became famous businessmen. while the 9-11 attake happen on that time changez was there and after that attake all American people hate the  all pakistani . after that everybody say to changez you  are  change. he is changed his phical appearance gives a kind of threat upon the people around him. on that time  changez many problem faced in America like full body cheackup at Airport because after that attake  America can't put the  trust on  any Pakistani. In this movie we can see culture of east and west country.

Teaching as a second language by Omkar.n.koul

Teaching of English language as a second language :- by Omkar. N.Koul.

Teaching of English as a secongld language is faced with various problems at different levels. some such promlbles are suggestion are made for adopting appropriate strategies at the school level.
The developing countries very rightly view the English language not merely as the language onece used for administrative convenience by the alien rulers but as a vehicle for acquiring modern scientific and technical knowledge crucial for economic development.
As far as the use of English in education is concerned their are 2basic rules attached to it :
  1) Teaching of English as a subject
  2) The use of English as the medium
      of instruction.
First of all it is important to adopt a language policy at the national level and define the role of English in education.
The English language teaching in no manner should come in conflict with the teaching of other regional language. The language policy may specify the levels of its teaching as a subjects.
secondly it is important to develop a need based language curriculum for the teaching of English as a second language. An important task is to specify the general aims and objectives of English language teaching keeping in view the requirements of the people.
In a second language teaching situation it is regarded necessary to imparts instruction in the four basic language skill - listening , speaking , reading , writing .
Different types of syllabuses  - grammatical , structural , situational , national , communicative all this types of materials available on the teacher's training language teaching  methods and prevaient testing system.
The aims and objectives of teaching of English at three levels of school education :-
1)  Level 1( primary level 1to 5 year of           schooling ) 
2)  Level 2 ( middle level 6 to 8,years of schooling )
3)  Level  3 ( higher level 9to 12 years of schooling )

In the Level 1 coaterials maybe graded to introduced simple basic structure with the healp of drills and exercises. in this student must be communicate in English with each other within the range of simple structure and vocabulary.
In the level 2 emphasis on spoken english should continue .there are must be emphasis on the practical use of the language rather than discussion of it.
The students may be encouraged to adapt the text conversations to real situation as far as possible and try to personalisc them. in this level  teachers can make use of photographs , pictures givien in the text , posters etc.
In the level 3 the student should be trained in the reading comprehension skill to enable them:-
  - To use grammatical clues
  - pragmatic facts
  - vocabulary resources.
The aims and objectives of teaching English as a second language as illustrated can be achieved in individualized programmed instruction for these students who are unable to attended formal classes in any institution.

Conclusion :-
English will continue to play   an important role in education in India for years to come.
The language policy defining the role of English , curriculum planing , designing of the syllabus , selection material and audio visual aids, teaching methodology all in the this essay .
