Warm greetings to everyone!

My name is Zareena. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the National Institute of Technology Hamirpur (NITH) in Himachal Pradesh, India. NITH is a public technical university in India, primarily known for its Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) undergraduate courses offered in various streams such as Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and more. For the past one and a half years, I have been teaching Communication Skills to B.Tech students and an Introduction to Academic Research Writing course to doctoral students at NITH.

I received my doctoral degree in English Language Education (ELE) with my research focused on 'The Effect of Consciousness-Raising Tasks on Grammatical Knowledge: A Study of Undergraduate ESL Learners.' Additionally, I hold a Master of Arts degree specializing in Teaching English as a Second Language (MA TESL). Both my doctoral and postgraduate degrees are from the English and Foreign Languages University (EFL-U), Hyderabad, India.

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, dancing to Bollywood songs, and regularly practicing meditation and yoga.

This online platform provides an enriching experience for all of us to share our viewpoints and co-create knowledge.

Happy collaborative learning online community

Hello Gohar
Here's the summary of my previous response translated into English:

Music can be an effective educational tool in the classroom for several reasons:

-Enhanced Memory and Concentration**: Helps with memorization and focus.
-Development of Language Skills**: Improves vocabulary and pronunciation.
-Boosted Creativity and Expression**: Encourages creativity and emotional expression.
-Fostered Group Cohesion**: Promotes cooperation and communication.
-Facilitated Intercultural Learning**: Introduces students to various cultures.
-Increased Interest and Engagement**: Makes lessons more engaging and motivating.
-Emotion and Stress Management**: Assists in calming and stress management.

In summary, music enriches the educational experience by stimulating students' minds, creativity, and cultural sensitivity.

Hi Zareena,

It's great to see you here on the forum! I'm really interested in your work with B.Tech students, especially your research on Communication Skills. I'm curious to know, what are the biggest challenges you face when teaching Communication Skills to these students? I'm also very interested in research and project work, so I'd love to hear more about your experiences in that area.

On a related note, what advice would you give to students struggling with academic research writing?

Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Hello Zareeena
For students struggling with writing academic research papers, here are some simple tips: First, understand the topic by carefully reading the instructions and breaking down the subject into key concepts. Next, plan and organize your work by creating a detailed outline and setting a schedule. Use reliable sources such as books, academic articles, and credible online sources, taking notes as you research. Structure your paper with an introduction, a body (with sub-sections), and a conclusion. Revise and edit your work to correct errors and ensure clarity and coherence. Follow proper citation standards and create a bibliography. Manage stress by taking regular breaks, getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising. Lastly, utilize available resources like writing centers, librarians
