Our daily communication is not consisted only of the language exchanged between the talkers. The tendency to rely only on the verbal language should be more strongly emphasized in the language classroom. Non-native speakers of any language are likely to rely more heavily on visual clues to support their comprehension than are native speakers. In teaching language as visual comprehension as well as the verbal one, the role of utilizing video is discussed as follows. In addition, in what way we should use the video programme is considered as well.

The response and development so Social Darwinism deserves to be called one of the most fruitful objects for comparative studies. The reason is that this thought was accepted into various countries and given different modifications in the late 19th century. In spite of the situation, previous studies of this field have not so far established any clear frame of reference through which we can compare different variations of Social Darwinism. This is the main reason why the present author attempted to devise a possible scheme for the comparative studies on this thought, by surveying the books of Darwin, Spencer, etc.

D. H. Lawrence is apt to be misunderstood. Among all sorts of calumniations, what most maliciously framed is to have reckoned him to be an autocrat or a dictator like Hitler before and during the Second World War. It is deemed that this might have been caused, because he tried to maintain his dignity to be a writer by nature ; that is, to be natural as a writere for him was the foremost principle for him. So that he did not take any heed of criticism toward him, but pursued his own sensibility. Accordingly, he was a born traveler and adventurer who found the spirit of place that his sensibility had chosen. He thought, 'A book lives as long as it is unfathomed' and he lived a life which was immeasurable. Lawrence did not utilize any kind of technique that twentieth century writers such as Proust or Joyce did. He used only his sensibility so that nature made him know how he developed his new way of life. From these points of view, I scrutinized how Lawrence was thought to be a Primitivist in this thesis.

The nature of the human mind, its quest for the ideal, and the question whetehr or not there is something immortal in man were topics that Shelley pursued all his life. His stance concerning these questions shifted radically between his university days and the year of his death in 1822.
