The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. An Inspector Calls is set in 1912 An Inspector Calls was written in 1945.
The First World War would start in two
years. Birling's optimistic view that
there would not be a war is completely
wrong.
The Second World War ended in
Europe on 8 May 1945. People were
recovering from nearly six years of
warfare, danger and uncertainty.
There were strong distinctions between
the upper and lower classes.
Class distinctions had been greatly
reduced as a result of two world wars.
Women were subservient to men. All a
well off women could do was get
married; a poor woman was seen as
cheap labour.
As a result of the wars, women had
earned a more valued place in society.
The ruling classes saw no need to
change the status quo.
There was a great desire for social
change. Immediately after The Second
World War, Clement Attlee's Labour
Party won a landslide victory over
Winston Churchill and the
Conservatives.
4. Responsibility
• Primary theme
• Words ‘responsible’ and ‘responsibility’ are used by most characters throughout the play
• The Inspector wanted each member of the family to share the responsibility of Eva’s death:
"One Eva Smith has gone - but there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smiths and
John Smiths still left with us, with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of
happiness, all intertwined with our lives, and what we think and say and do."
• The Inspector gives the Birlings a warning:
“And I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson, when they
will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.”
What would Priestley want his audience to think of when providing the Birlings with such
warnings?
The play is concerned with both personal
responsibility and social responsibility
5. Character Attitude to Social Responsibility
Mr. Birling
Mrs. Birling
Eric
Shelia
“… a man has to make his own way – has to look after himself –
and his family too, of course when he has one…”
Doesn’t believe that an individual has a social responsibility to
others.
Sees social responsibility in a limited way – while she is involved
with a woman’s charity she has a very narrow sense of
responsibility. She takes no responsibility for Eva’s death.
Has some innate sense of social responsibility “Why shouldn’t
they try for higher wages.” He felt enough responsibility to offer
Eva money.
Shelia’s sense of social responsibility is awakened throughout the
play and she feels compassion for workers like Eva “But these
girls aren’t cheap labour – they’re people.”
6. Class
Apart from Edna, the maid, the characters in the play are from the rich, upper classes. However, a
lot can be learnt about the lower classes through the attitudes of the characters and their
interactions with Eva Smith.
Again make sure that you consider how each character views the lower classes at the beginning
and the end of the play.
This theme is linked heavily with Priestley’s socialist
views and the time periods in which the play were
set and written (1912 and 1945).
Make sure that you understanding Priestley’s
background and personal political views. (He worked
in a factory in his early life and became interested in
social inequality as he grew older. He was influential
in helping to develop the Welfare State and was a
socialist.)
7. Character At the start of the play this
character was…
To this character Eva was…
Mr. Birling
Mrs. Birling
Shelia
Gerald
Eric
Keen to cement his social rise
through Shelia’s marriage. Insecure
about his social status.
Happy taking advantage of the
benefits of her social class –
spending time in expensive shops.
Prepared to marry Shelia despite
her lower social status and the
disapproval of his mother.
Feels awkward about the benefits
from his social status.
Social superior to her husband and
gets embarrassed by his social
gaffes.
Simply cheap labour – he did not
think of her as a person.
Someone beneath he social status
who deserved to be fired out of
spite.
An upstart who deserves what she
gets.
A mistress to be used and discarded
as he pleases.
Easy sex at the end of a drunken
night out.
8. Gender
Because of her sex Eva was in an even more vulnerable position. When the play is set women
were not yet valued in their own right by society and had not been awarded the right to vote.
Even upper class women had limited choices and were under the control of men. The situation
was even worse for working class women. Eva Smith encompasses this plights and her life is
heavily influenced by the men she encounters.
Why do you think Priestley decided to have
the play based on the death of a young
working class woman rather than the death
of a young working class man?
9. Age
The older and younger generations deal
with the Inspector’s call in different
ways.
The Old (Mr. and Mrs. Birling) The Young (Shelia and Eric)
The old are set in their ways. They are
confident that they are right and the
young are wrong.
They will do anything to protect
themselves and their reputation – Mr.
Birling’s first thought is to cover up a
scandal
They have never been forced to
examine their actions and they cannot
do this now “you can’t teach an old dog
new tricks”.
Mr. and Mrs. Birling have much to fear
from a visit from the real Inspector –
they will lose the thing they value most.
More open to new ideas. Their views
change throughout the play and they
express sympathy for the striking
workers
They accept responsibility for their
actions and their effects.
Eric and Shelia examine their role in
Eva’s death.
They have less to fear from the real
Inspector as they have already admitted
their wrong doing and it is suggested
they will change.

12. notes
• Act 1 – divide of the ages as Mr and Mrs Birling correct
their offspring and seem to know little about them
• Act 2- Eric has got a girl pregnant and stolen money
• Act 3 – Eric and Sheila in particular are seen to be
affected by the events of the night, whereas Mr and
Mrs Birling, and Gerald to an extent, are keen to avoid
a scandal but are unlikely to change their ways
• Context- the youth are key to change and socialism and
Priestley is making audience aware that Capitalism
practiced by the older generations is a dangerous way
to live life
