Abstract: This study aims to determine the level of ability of deaf grade IV students in composing simple sentences using word card media (MKK) at the Administrator Elementary School for Special Needs Students of Kupang City. The background for choosing the Word Card Media is because people with hearing disabilities have difficulty recording lingual (language) symbols. Therefore, it is very difficult for them to communicate verbally. They will concentrate and quickly understand the events that have been experienced and are concrete that can be seen. Their ears move to the eyes. This research is a Classroom Action Research. This method specializes in a systematic process, namely pre-test, planning, action (intervention) using MKK, evaluation (post-test), reflection. The results showed that the use of word card media could improve the ability to compose simple sentences for fourth grade students of Administrator School for Special Students of Kupang City. This situation is evidenced by the comparison of the.....

Abstract: The present article attempts to take a critical look at integration of information and communication technologies in teaching/learning of foreign languages to adult learners in the distance mode. Apart from looking at the logistical aspects, it tries to critically explore factors that enhance engagement in the language learning process thereby increasing alongside, levels of student motivation too. Integration of ICTs in pedagogical strategies in the foreign language classroom, emerges from the fundamental notion of elaborating and designing systematically, objectives and outcomes within the instructional design. Whereas digital literacy and ease of handling computer-based instruction is largely about the technical competence of the learners and teachers, it is to be understood that as an interface, computer assisted language learning CALL touches upon a larger framework of cognitive bridge created and present solidlybetween the machine and the human......

Abstract: India and Bangladesh are not only the neighboring states but also share a common history, culture, heritage, social formation etc since the pre-historic period. Indian association during the liberation movement of Bangladesh was another important benchmark of historical bondage. Bangladesh and India have signed several treaties and Protocols in order to promote bilateral trade since the independence of Bangladesh. However, trading relationship between the two countries is yet to reach at a satisfactory level. Despite a lot of potentials and opportunities provided over time to increase the trade relationship between the neighbors, a very little has been achieved till date. This article intends to analyze the historical initiatives of trade relations as well as the obstacles and future directions to foster the bilateral relationship based on economic statecrafts.
