“Purpose of Student Induction Programme is to help new students adjust and feel comfortable in the new environment, inculcate in them the ethos and culture of the institution, help them build bonds with other students and faculty members, and expose them to a sense of larger purpose and self-exploration. The term induction is generally used to describe the whole process whereby the incumbents adjust to or acclimatize to their new roles and environment. In other words, it is a well-planned event to educate the new entrants about the environment in a particular institution, and connect them with the people in it. Student Induction Programme engages with the new students as soon as they come into the institution; before regular classes start. At the start of the induction, the incumbents learn about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values, and their mentor groups are formed.” A Guide to Student Induction Programme, UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION, ​​​​​​​ Published on 15th August 2018(Independent Day) An attempt is made here by the experts to assist the students by way of providing case based and activity oriented handbook as per the curriculum with non-commercial considerations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming, ILP 2002, held in Sydney, Australia in July 2002.

Among the topics addressed are first order decision lists, learning with description logics, bagging in ILP, kernel methods, concept learning, relational learners, description logic programs, Bayesian classifiers, knowledge discovery, data mining, logical sequences, theory learning, stochastic logic programs, machine discovery, and relational pattern discovery.

Innovation has replaced stereotypical and old methods as an attempt to make English language teaching and learning appealing, effective, and simple. However, teaching a second language through literature may be a paramount tool to consolidate not only students’ lexical and grammatical competences, but also for the development of their cultural awareness and broadening of their knowledge through interaction and collaboration that foster collective learning. Despite past difficulties, literature’s position in relation to language teaching can be revendicated and revalued. Using Literature to Teach English as a Second Language is an essential research publication that exposes the current state of this methodological approach and observes its reverberations, usefulness, strengths, and weaknesses when used in a classroom where English is taught as a second language. In this way, this book will provide updated tools to explore teaching and learning through the most creative and enriching manifestations of one language – literature. Featuring a range of topics such as diversity, language learning, and plurilingualism, this book is ideal for academicians, curriculum designers, administrators, education professionals, researchers, and students.
