The Last of the Mohicans is one of the five frontier novels written by famous American novelist James Fenimore Cooper in the early 19thcentury.Although it has been criticized for its narrative flaws,its length and formal prose style,it was one of the most popular in its time and is of a high literary value nowadays.With the coming of the white European colonialists,the Indians underwent various changes.Some Indians submitted themselves to the white while some Indians rebelled against the invaders and sought their revenge.With a post-colonial approach,the changes of the Indians will be better understood,and people nowadays will also have a better understanding of the Indian history and culture in early American history. 相似文献

A qualitative investigation of trainees＇ adjustment in Japan：A case study of trainees from Indonesia
In Japan, there is a residence status known as “the trainee”. This is the status for residents who undertake “activities to learn and acquire the technology, skills, or knowledge at public or private organizations in Japan”. With the introduction of the Industrial Training Program in 1993, trainees have been permitted to extend their stay in Japan for education and employment purposes up to a maximum of three years. This study aims to investigate the adjustment styles of trainees and to consider the changes in their attitudes toward Japan in the course of this adjustment. Six male Indonesian trainees （mean age=23.83） were invited to a semi-structured interview. They were employed at the same factory, involved in the manufacture of car components, and were trainees in their first-, second-, and third-years. The interview mainly focused on the trainees＇ Japanese language skills, the changes in their images of Japan or Japanese people, the communication between them and their Japanese colleagues, and the difficulties they encountered during their stay in Japan. The results revealed that there were clear differences between the first, second, and third trainees. As the trainees＇ Japanese language skills improved, their communication with the Japanese colleagues increased. Subsequently, they developed more positive images of Japan and Japanese people and hoped to have more informal communication with Japanese people. 相似文献

Since its naissance back into the 70s of the last century,Hip-Hop and Rap music has been utilized as a channel for identity expression and formation by African Americans especially urban youth.From a sociolinguistic point of view,it is through the use of a particular language register–generally termed as African American English(AAE)–that the rappers get to portrait,narrate and elaborate their own ideologies closely concerning various aspects of their life and status.Broadly,the influence of Hip-Hop culture has gained it major momentum among urban youth across the globe.In countries where English is used as a foreign language(EFL),Hip-Hop is well received by young speakers who wish to express their own personality and alleviate pressures from schools,family and society(Li,2004).Given the multiplicity of features in Hip-Hop texts,this article argues that it can be informative to EFL in general and English pronunciation teaching in particular. 相似文献

For English language learners who are in the college level, learning knowledge and skills from the teachers, the course books and the classroom activities can not 100 percent satisfy their individual needs or meet their various learning styles. In order to compensate this limit, they need to do self-access after class. In this paper, I will describe the relative background knowledge first and then try to illustrate the role of self-access in one＇s language learning process. Finally I will try to discuss the ways of making self-access more useful and feasible in students＂ practical study. The purpose of the present essay is to emphasize the important part self-access plays in ELT. 相似文献

Why do many Indians dot their foreheads?Well, this question often perplexes many people, including some Indians.Many Indians themselves often provide wrong answers to this question. Actually, the answer is simple.India has an old and rich civilization that has been stressing the strength of the mind and the spirit. The dot on the forehead symbolizes the eye of wisdom, which is often referred to as "the third eye". By having the dot on his/her forehead, the Indian is reminded of his/her inner strength, which is more powerful than any of the physical senses. 相似文献
