A Communicative Approach to Spelling for Arab Students of English

With its emphasis on "fluency" over "accuracy," the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach has paid insufficient attention to spelling in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. However, error-analysis studies in the Arab World reveal that spelling is the most prevalent error in the English writing of Arab students. What I do in this paper is to discuss three types of activities for the Arab EFL classroom which retain a CLT “fluency” orientation in their approach to spelling but which promote "accuracy" in spelling: (a) reading activities. (2) inductive-reasoning activities, and (3) language-focussing activities

On Happiness

What do anthropologists have to say about happiness? For some contributors in this Vital Topics Forum, happiness is a sensory force that colors and shapes human evolution and experience. Others consider happiness, or the lack thereof, to be a faceted reflection of the arrangements in society. All recognize the potential power of human happiness, where a distant memory, fleeting experience, or idealized vision can serve as a driving force in transformative change, prompting individual and collective desire and action to give new meaning, sustain life and livelihood, restore dignity, make peace... to dream again
