Frantically one searches the recesses of his mind for a topic with teacher appeal. With the glimmer of an idea, he snatches his pen, writes and revises. Frequent consultations with the dictionary and the thesaurus yield necessary information. With a sigh of relief one put down the last punctua- tion mark and wearily drops the pen. Creative composition is only part of the work done in English. Research papers require hours of note taking.

Innocent and unsus- pecting we trudge into the language lab, adjust our earphones and various other mechanisms only to find ourselves sub- jected to a barrage of puzzling sounds. Could this possibly mean something?,' we wonder. And so begins our study of a foreign language. The year progresses and the mystery of these puzzling sounds unfolds through the grammar, pronunciation and other ESI
