سامی ادیان میں جانوروں کی حلت و حرمت کےمتعلق احکامات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ

سامی ادیان میں جانوروں کی حلت و حرمت کےمتعلق احکامات کا تجزیاتی مطالعہ Dietary rules and regulations may govern particular phases of the human life cycle and may also be associated with special events. Dietary Laws are grounded into the religious thought, and anyone expects logical clarifications for the continuation and determination of these rules in light of the respective religious tradition. The Semitic religions: orthodox Jews, Christians and Muslims have undoubtedly directed their adherents about the foodstuff “meat” with particular terms and conditions. This study attempts to define the similarities and differences between Halal and Kashrut (Kosher) in the light of their religion's commandments. The study confined to the Holy Scriptures. A comparative approach has been applied to these dietary practices. Moreover, it was found that Halal constitutes a different dietary law (Shariah) than Kashrut and vice versa. Even though similarities are found but it does not permit for the statutes to be usually supposed as reflection of each other. This analytical work will provide theoretical orientation; make reference to relevant theoretical and empirical literature for adequate clarification and comprehension where needed. To avoid pointless details, only the verse number mentioned in footnotes and extracted commands are just mentioned in the article. Qualitative research methodology has been adopted about the dietary laws about animals in Semitic Religions.

SaAn Analysis of Spelling Learning Styles of English Language Learners: The NUML Survey Study

SaAn Analysis of Spelling Learning Styles of English Language Learners: The NUML Survey Study The present study deals with the most neglected area of Applied Linguistics and Psycholinguistics research that is adult English language learners’ spelling learning styles especially in Pakistan. It aims at finding out and analysing the preferred spelling learning styles of certificate and diploma level English language learners both male and female, studying at National University of Modern Languages (NUML). The importance of spelling ability for English language learners cannot be overlooked. It is widely recognized that spelling ability is an essential skill for English learners to expand their knowledge of language, and spelling errors have impact on their whole academic performance in the sense that they don’t develop reading and writing proficiency in language. Thus the study facilitates learners especially in developing spelling ability by finding out the most preferred and successful ways of learning spelling. It also provides guidelines to teachers regarding spelling content to teach and methodology based on learners’ preferred learning styles and their spelling problems. The study hypothesized that adult learners learn spelling by using visual learning styles and by making written practices without learning spelling rules. Census Survey study is used in this quantitative research. The survey questionnaire based on the Productivity Environmental preference survey (PEPS) Learning Style Inventory developed by Dunn, Dunn and Price (1996) was used along with a spelling test for data collection. Data was statistically analysed by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 17.0). One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was used to compare the mean values of students’ spelling learning styles. The study concludes that most of the learners are poor spellers, while good spellers learn by using visual learning styles, do written practices and learn spelling rules. The research recommends the contest of ‘Spelling Bee of NUML’ periodically and a spelling skills period at different levels of English courses in NUML. It also presents various recommendations about spelling content to teach and spelling learning styles. The further researches should focus on the problems faced by adult learners regarding their spelling ability especially in Pakistan.
