Abstract:
Teaching and learning practices in ESL (English in a Second Language) classrooms at the undergraduate level in India, particularly in Kashmir Valley, pose significant challenges. These challenges arise from the diverse linguistic backgrounds of the students. In Kashmir Valley, English is taught as a second language at both college and university levels in public and private sectors. Generally, English is a compulsory subject from schools to universities. This research investigates the challenges that occur and the resultant strategy that ESL teachers use to manage multilingual classrooms at the undergraduate level in Kashmir Valley colleges. The study employs a qualitative research paradigm, utilising structured online interviews with undergraduate teachers from various colleges, namely Government Degree College Shopian, Government Degree College Kulgam, Government Degree College Anantnag, Government Degree College Baramulla, and SSM College Srinagar, all affiliated with the University of Kashmir. The study highlights that the diverse linguistic backgrounds of students require teachers to use multiple strategies in ESL classrooms to cater to these differences. These strategies have varying impacts on the learners' performance.

Abstract:

 O. V. Vijayan’s novels explore the deep journey of self-realisation through characters who face personal, social, and spiritual challenges. His protagonists are often shown searching for meaning in life while dealing with the conflicts of tradition, modernity, and inner emptiness. This paper discusses how Vijayan presents the idea of self-discovery in novels like “The Legends of Khasak” and “The Saga of Dharmapuri”, where the main characters experience a spiritual quest that goes beyond their everyday lives. Vijayan uses symbols, myths, philosophical ideas, and beliefs. The clash of old customs with modern realities, along with the burden of history, forms the setting for these inner journeys. The paper also studies Vijayan’s unique writing style, which blends realistic situations with mystical and spiritual reflections, bringing out the emotional and intellectual struggles of his characters.
