There are thousands of programming languages, but even if your organization works in one of the more popular languages, it's likely you will eventually interact with others who are unfamiliar with it. Since you can't be proficient in every programming language under the sun, a language that bridges technologies and allows people to communicate their ideas is needed.
A few programming languages have tried to fill this role over the years, but none holds as much promise as Python.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3rd material lingua-franca,pidgin,creole
1. Lingua Franca
Lingua franca (or working language, bridge
language, vehicular language) is a language
systematically used to make communication
possible between people not sharing a mother
tongue.
1
2. Vernacular
• A vernacular is the native language or native
dialect of a specific population, as opposed to
a language of wider communication that is a
second language or foreign language to the
population, such as a national language,
standard language, or lingua franca.
2
3. PIDGIN (Tok Pisin-Papua new Guinea)
A pidgin or pidgin language, is a simplified language that
develops as a means of communication between two or
more groups that do not have a language in common
At first a pidgin language has no native speakers, and is used
just for doing business with others with whom one shares the
pidgin language and no other. In time, most pidgin languages
disappear, as the pidgin-speaking community develops, and
one of its established languages becomes widely known and
takes over the role of the pidgin as the lingua franca, or
language of choice of those who do not share a native
language."
(Grover Hudson, Essential Introductory Linguistics. Blackwell,
2000)
3
5. Creole
• creole language, or simply a creole, is a stable natural
language developed from the mixing of parent
languages
• A creole comes into being when children are born into
a pidgin-speaking environment and acquire the pidgin
as a first language. What we know about the history
and origins of existing creoles suggests that this may
happen at any stage in the development of a pidgin."
(Mark Sebba, Contact Languages: Pidgins and Creoles.
Palgrave Macmillan, 1997)

6. CREOLE SAMPLES
English- Portuguese creole
• a.mo pe aste sa banan
b. de bin alde luk dat big tri
c. a waka go a wosu
d. olmaan i kas-im chek
e. li pote sa bay mo
f. ja fruher wir bleiben
g. dis smol swain i bin go fo maket
• a.I am buying the banana
b.they always looked for a big tree
c.he walked home
d.the old man is cashing a check
e.he brought that for me
f.Yes at first we remained
g.this little pig went to market
7. Conclusion
• Pidgin language is the language of a mixture of two or
more languages that form can not be categorized into
one of the original language. Pidgin languages are
temporary because there is no native speaker. Used in
markets, trading centers and others which are visited
by native language
• Creole language is a pidgin language which is accepted
as the original language that already has-native
speakers and it can be said is the mother tongue or
first language to a group
8. fundamental views about Language
• Children learn their native language swiftly,
efficiently and without instruction.
• Language operates by rules.
• All languages have three major components:
a sound system,
a system of lexicogrammar and
a system of semantics.

9. 3. The theory of Language
Language “is not to be confused with
human speech, of which it is only a definite
part, though certainly an essential one. It is
both a social product of the faculty
(kecakapan/kemampuan) of speech and a
collection of necessary conventions that
have been adopted by a social body to
permit individuals to exercise that faculty”.
--Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913):
Course in General Linguistics (1916)
9
What is Language?
10. • Saussure's most influential work, Course in
General Linguistics (Cours de linguistique
générale), was published posthumously in
1916 by former students on the basis of
notes taken from Saussure's lectures in
Geneva, they are:
Charles Bally and
Albert Sechehaye
10
11. “Language is a form of human
communication by means of a
system of symbols principally
transmitted by vocal sounds.”
--Stuart C. Poole: An
Introduction to Linguistics (1999)
11
12. “From now on I will
consider language to be a
set (finite or infinite) of
sentences, each finite in
length and constructed out
of a finite set of elements.”
--Noam Chomsky (1928):
Syntactic Structures (1957)
12
13. “A language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of
which a social group co-operates.”
--Bernard Bloch (1907-1965) & George Trager (1906-1992): Outline
of Linguistic Analysis (1942)
“A language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of
which the members of a society interact in terms of their total
culture.”
--George Trager: The Field of Linguistics (1949)
“Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human
communication.”
--Ronald Wardhaugh: Introduction to Linguistics (1977)
Language is “the institution (adat/kebiasaan) whereby humans
communicate and interact with each other by means of habitually
used oral-auditory arbitrary symbols.”
--Robert A. Hall (1911-1997): Introductory Linguistics (1964)
13
14. Language Definition:
“Language is a set of system as means of verbal
communication.”
It is instrumental in that communicating by
speaking or writing is a purposeful act.
It is social and conventional in that language is
a social semiotic and communication can only
take place effectively if all the users share a
broad understanding of human interaction
including associated factors as nonverbal cues,
motivation, and socio-cultural roles.

15.
16. 4.1 The “bow-wow” theory
• In primitive times people imitated the
sounds of the animal calls in the wild
environment they lived and speech
developed from that.
– Onomatopoeic words seem to be a convenient
evidence for this theory. But they are very
different in the degree of resemblance they
express with the natural sounds.
• This theory lacks supportive evidence.
16
4. Origin of language
17. 4.2 The “pooh-pooh” theory
• In the hard life of our primitive ancestors, they utter
instinctive sounds of pain, anger and joy. As for evidence,
we can only cite the universal use of sounds as
interjections.
– What makes the theory problematic is that there is
only a limited number of interjections in almost all
languages.
– Besides, interjections such as Oh, Ah, Oops bear little
relationship with the sound system of a language and
therefore are not good evidence.
17
18. 4.3 The “yo-he-ho” theory
• As primitive people worked together,
they produced some rhythmic grunts
which gradually developed into chants
and then into language.
– We do have prosodic (is the rhythm,
stress, and intonation of speech) use
of rhythms in languages, but
rhythmic grunts are far different
from language in its present sense.
The theory is again at most a
speculation.
18
19. • The by-now fruitless search for the origin
of languages reflects people's concern
with the origin of humanity and may
come up with enlightening findings in
future.
• One thing we can say for certain is that
language evolves within specific
historical, social and cultural contexts.
19
20. 5. Functions of language
• Linguists talk about the functions of language in an abstract
sense, that is, not in terms of using language to chat, to think,
to buy and sell, to read and write, to greet, praise and
condemn people, etc.
• They summarize these practical functions and attempt some
broad classifications of the basic functions of language.
20
• For Jakobson, language is above all for
communication.
• While for many people, the purpose of
communication is referential, for him (and the
Prague school structuralists), reference is not
the only, not even the primary goal of
communication.
21. In conjunction with these, Jakobson established a well-known framework
of language functions based on the six key elements of communication,
namely:
1. Expressive/emotive (to express attitudes, feelings and emotions),
2. Conative (to persuade and influence others through commands and
requests),
3. Referential (to convey message and information),
4. Poetic (to indulge in language for its own sake),
5. Phatic (to establish communion with others)
6. metalingual (to clear up intentions and meanings).
21
22. 5.1 Emotive/Expressive function
“If an utterance is primarily oriented toward the speaker”
• The expressive function can often be entirely personal and
totally without any implication of communication to
others.
– For example, a man may say Ouch! after striking a fingernail
with a hammer, or he may mutter Damn when realizing that
he has forgotten an appointment.
– Exclamations such as Man! Oh boy! and Hurrah! are usually
uttered without any purpose of communicating to others, but
as essentially a verbal response to a person's own feelings.
– Another example: God, My, Damn it, What a sight, Wow, Ugh,
Oh.
22
23. 5.2 Conative function
• “If an utterance is primarily oriented toward
the addressee”
• The principal one would be questions or
commands, as they are focused mainly on
the addressee, or vocatives.
• Example: Hey! Rudy.
23
24. 5.3 Referential function
• “If an utterance is oriented largely toward a
third person, toward the context, or towards
events”
• Example: Nepal is sandwiched between India
and China
24
25. 5.4 Poetic function
• “If the utterance is oriented primarily toward
itself-when it somehow calls attention to the
very sounds and patterns that are used in its
articulation”
• The everyday speech that involves rhymes,
alliteration, repetition, parallelism, or other sort
of playing around with the sound or structure of
words.
• Example: I don’t want to hear you, I don’t want
to see you, I don’t want to know you!
25
26. 5.5 Phatic communion
“If the utterance is oriented primarily
toward the channel that carries it,
whether the cannel is social or physical”
• Phatic communion refers to the social
interaction of language,
• Example: Hi, how are you?
Fine, thanks!
26
Mrs. P sneezes violently.
Mrs. Q: Bless you.
Mrs. P: Thank you.
27. • We all use such small, seemingly
meaningless expressions to maintain a
comfortable relationship between
people without involving any factual
content.
– Ritual exchanges about health or weather
such as Good morning, God bless you, Nice
day often state the obvious. Yet they
indicate that a channel of communication is
open if it should be needed.
27
28. 5.6 Metalingual function
• “If the utterance is oriented primarily toward
language itself, or Our language can be used
to talk about itself”
• In Chaer (1995:21) Language can explain the
rules of language, the process of learning
language.
28
29. • For instance, instead of saying
– The lion chased the unicorn all round the town,
• they say
– All around the town the lion chased the unicorn.
29
30. • This is the metalingual function of
language and meshes with the thematic
function of language in functional
grammar.
– It makes the language infinitely self-
reflexive: We human beings can talk about
talk and think about thinking, and thus only
humans can ask what it means to
communicate, to think, to be human.
30
31. General Function of Language
• As social tools to communicate
Functions of language in social interaction:

Advice Command Comparison
Expression of Feeling greeting Information
Instruction Invitation Offer
Opinion Persuasion Praise
Request Transmission of
Culture

Below is a list of utterances. Next to each one, write one or more functions that
it performs. The previous slide provides some suggestions of functions to help
you, but you may not need to use them all and, of course, you can use your
own ideas. The first is given as an example.

1. Come and eat ! Invitation, command,
request (any idea?)
2. Good morning, class.
3. Indonesia was unlucky to lose Timor-Timur
4. David Beckham scored a spectacular goal.
5. Nyepi is Balinese day which is celebrated every year.
6. Protective glasses should be worn all the time.
7. DANGER! Live wires.
8. We’re so happy!
9. After you shake hands with the King of Tonga, go down
on one knee and clap-this is called ‘cobo’.
10. Buy SCRUB washing powder for the cleanest clothes in
Daily mart.
