ScienceDaily (Aug. 23, 2012) — We use language every day to express our emotions, but can this language actually affect what and how we feel? Two new studies from Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, explore the ways in which the interaction between language and emotion influences our well-being.

“Knock on wood” is an expression that is often used by English speakers, but it is a very unique phrase. This phrase basically means ‘I hope so’ or ‘if all goes well’. Knock on wood is a spoken phrase (it is generally not written) and it is an expression used to express a desire to avoid ‘tempting fate’ or to keep something bad from happening. This phrase is said most often after a person makes a boast* or expresses a hope or desire. When a person says this phrase they usually knock on something that is made of wood, or any hard surface that is near by.
Here are some examples of how this phrase might be used:
“I think I am finally feeling better – knock on wood.”
“I won’t be late for work again tomorrow – knock on wood.”
“Are your parents paying for you guys to go to France again this summer?” “Knock on wood!”
The origin of this phrase comes from old English folklore. Apparently a long time ago people in England went into the isolated woods to talk privately and tell secrets and they “knocked” on the trees (and trees are made of wood) when they were talking to hide their communication from evil spirits who might make trouble. The people knocked on wood to keep the spirits from hearing them and keep the good things they wanted to happen from being disrupted. Another version of this folklore states an almost opposite understanding of the action of knocking on wood. This other version holds that the act of knocking on trees was to wake up the spirits to make them listen so they could work in favor of a specific request or secret.

 Weblogs In English Language ClassesBlog Assisted Language Learning ( BALLKlappentext des BuchesDuring the last few years ,the number of teachers using Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) has increased markedly and numerous articles have been written about the role of technology in education in the 21st century. Although the potential of the Internet for educational use has not been fully explored yet and colleges and schools still make limited use of computers, it is obvious that we have entered a new information age in which the links between technology and TEFL have already been established. As the use of weblogs (blogs) becomes increasingly popular, many language teachers have incorporated them into their courses to engage students in discussing course materials, to foster a sense of community, and to enhance learning. Educators are recognizing that in addition to providing authentic and flexible learning environments, computer-based resources can be an ideal location for reflective and collab¬orative learning. Blogs are one example of this type of resource. LAP Lambert Academic Publishing ISBN 978-3-659-22869-8, Paperback, 108 Seiten نشانی برای مشاهده و خرید اینترنتی : |
Feelings of anxiety, apprehension and nervousness are commonly expressed by second/foreign language learners in learning to speak a second/foreign language. These feelings are considered to exert a potentially negative and detrimental effect on communication in the target language. The use of modern communicative language teaching approaches in the language classrooms and the wide-spread use of English Language have increased the demand to learn good communication skills but existence of such feelings in the learners may prevent them from achieving the desired goal.
