Realizing this fact, the number of universities and schools in Yemen introduced English in their syllabus as a compulsory subject, and many students have been attempting to develop their ability to speak fluently in English with others.Apart from this, Yemeni parents have also realized the importance of the English language for learning Science, Technology, and developing their business in the present world. Hence, they are encouraging and insisting on their children to learn the English Language and acquiring mastery over it. However, most of the students in Yemen pay scant attention towards it. Hence, they are not able to talk or express themselves in the English language. Many factors are responsible for this state of affairs. One of the main reasons is that in Yemen teachers are teaching the English as a foreign language.Besides, the students do ...

No doubt, one of the useful and important areas of teaching and learning the English language is Applied Linguistics. Hence, in this paper, I have made a humble attempt to analyze mistakes and errors in English grammatical system made by learners of the second language in general and particularly students in Yemen. Keeping this in view, the number of universities and schools in Yemen introduced English in their syllabus as a compulsory subject and many teachers and students have been leaving no stone unturned to overcome various difficulties in Grammatical System to teach and learn correct English. Hence, the main focus of this paper to highlight the importance of analysis of mistakes and errors in English Grammatical System made by students in Yemen especially at I & IV levels. Moreover, concepts such as ‘Interlingual Errors’, ‘Intralingual Errors’, ‘Mother Tongue Interferenc...

They work hand in hand with the men. Hence, it can be said without any iota of doubt that women assume a great significance in the society. Apart from the society, we cannot turn Nelson's eye towards their contribution in the family as they perform the herculean task of keeping the members of family together and creating a healthy atmosphere. In other words, they can make or mar the family. Women are supposed to be at par with men and have equal rights. They can freely express their views and participate in any activity along with men both at home and in public places. By and large, women are hard worker, sincere, and capable of performing their job. While doing their job, they leave no stone unturned to prove themselves at their best. They are under constant tension as the members of their family have several expectations from them. Therefore, if at all women intend to succeed; they should keep balance between the activities at home as well as workplaces. It is essential here to discuss the role of women in various fields and their ID as leader. In fact, it is held by (Jekanowski, 1999) that the most suitable place for women is at home among their family members. That is to say, they have to deal with their mother and father-in-laws as well as their husbands and endeavor to maintain healthy relationship with them. They are required to undergo motherhood experience. Besides, at workplace, they come across some bitter personal experiences while dealing with their superiors, colleagues, and subordinates both male and female.

Difficulties which face the students of Hodeidah University, English department: Pronunciation, Vocabulary, Phrases and Idiom, Articles and Prepositions as well as Sentence Construction. Having taught English as a foreign language for two years to undergraduate students, the researcher has observed that the students cannot understand the linguistic knowledge they acquire. The difficulties of language acquisition have represented the difference between acquired competence forms and available experience. The study will focus on the multiple challenges faced by the students of both I & IV levels of the English Department, Hodeidah University. These difficulties are regarding "Pronunciation, Vocabulary, Phrases and Idiom, Articles and Prepositions and Sentence Construction". Over the past two decades, the approach followed in linguistics theory to get a suitable solution is to propose that the difference is a bridge by grammar and knowledge of the human language. Chomsky has made a classic statement when he says: "A consideration of the character of the grammar that is acquired, the degenerated quality and narrowly limited extent of the available data, the striking uniformity of the resulting grammar, and their independence of intelligence, motivation and emotional state, over wide range of variation, leave little hope that much of the structure of language can be learned by an organism initially uninformed as to its general character".

One of the main reasons is that in Yemen teachers are teaching the English as a foreign language. Besides, the students do not have sufficient opportunities to practice English either in the classroom or outside. Consequently, the result of ELT in Yemen is far from our expectations.

Post stroke rehabilitation plays a vital role in recovery of these individuals and has been repeatedly suggested that immediate intervention should be initiated as soon as possible after the occurrence of stroke. The results of standardised assessment are often used as a basis for therapy and help in planning treatment goals and individualizing intervention. Variability being a hallmark of aphasic syndromes there is a need of objectivity in routine aphasic evaluation. Selecting domains and controlling parameter that needs to be worked upon for rehabilitation is still challenging for novice therapists. Artificial Neural Networks have been found to be very effective in various fields. The aim of the present study was to build an objective tool that provides assistive objective evaluation along with confidence index on aphasic individuals and possible rehabilitation domains. The study was carried out in two phases i.e. Phase I included the development of the tool using MATLAB software and Phase II of the study testing of the developed tool. As a part of training of ANN, profiles of 49 participants diagnosed with aphasia was loaded onto MATLAB software. Phase II aimed at assessing the efficacy of ANN. Cases diagnosed through subjective assessment was cross verified with the developed tool. Results on Cohen's Kappa evaluation revealed an overall 0.916, indicating a positive agreement between the developed objective tool and traditional subjective evaluation. Hence this tool can help guide novice clinicians in decision making as well as planning appropriate intervention strategies

Moreover, concepts such as 'Interlingual Errors', 'Intralingual Errors', 'Mother Tongue Interference' etc have been discussed. The paper also makes a brief mention of some models to analyze errors and a few sources of errors that are common among linguists. A reference to the constructive analysis of the English Grammatical System and that of Arabic has been made while pointing out similarities and dissimilarities. Finally, this paper includes some findings, suggestions, conclusions, and pedagogical implications.

Needless to say, the education system examination plays a vital role. It determines approaches to teaching and learning and teachers face great pressures from various stakeholders to gear their teaching to prepare students for passing examinations with higher grades. On the other hand, the students are also expected by teachers and parents to sharpen their latent potentials in memorizing factual knowledge and reproducing it in the examinations. On the basis of my study, it becomes quite clear that it is the examination system that is eating from within the education system. This applies not only to Yemen but more or less to the education system all over the world. On account of the education system is very far away from its basic objectives. There is little emphasis on testing students' understanding, learning, and skills. What Dr. Finer has said long back is also relevant today? He has stated: "One generation which had the education to pass the examination is preparing next generation to pass the examination." Hence, in order to improve the system, it is necessary to clearly define the objectives of the examination.
