The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

Kinds of Sentences
Declarative - A declarative sentence makes a statement. A
declarative sentence ends with a period.
Example: The house will be built on a hill.
Interrogative - An interrogative sentence asks a question. An
interrogative sentence ends with a question mark.
Example: How did you find the card?
Exclamatory - An exclamatory sentence shows strong feeling.
An exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark.
Example: The monster is attacking!
Imperative - An imperative sentence gives a command.
Example: Cheryl, try the other door.
Sometimes the subject of an imperative sentence (you) is
understood.
Example: Look in the closet. (You, look in the closet.)

3. KINDS OF SENTENCES S-1
Revised Spring 2010 3
Your writing will be more effective if you learn to incorporate different kinds of sentences
into your writing. By using a variety a sentence types, you can make your writing more
interesting and control a reader’s reaction. For instance, the author of a horror story might
use long, complex sentences to establish a mood and then a short, simple sentence to frighten the
reader.
As Susan walked sprightly down the rain-soaked street, the happy sounds of crickets and
frogs seemed to chirp in tune to her steps. Suddenly, the sounds of the night stopped.
The first of these two sentences is a complex sentence that creates the mood of happiness, a not-
a-care-in-the-world attitude. The second sentence is a short simple sentence that breaks the
mood. Something potentially frightening has happened.
There are four kinds of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
When using all four sentence types, you will be using sentence variety that makes your
writing more interesting.
SIMPLE SENTENCE
The simple sentence has one independent clause. The following sentence contains a subject
and verb and a complete thought; it is a simple sentence.
Subj Verb
Example: The team flew to Chicago.
The simple sentence can have more than one subject and more than one verb, but it has
only one independent clause.
Subj Subj Verb Verb
Example: The team and the coach flew to Chicago and won the debate.
This is also a simple sentence even though it contains two subjects and two verbs. Simple
sentences do not have to be short; a thirty-five-word sentence might still be a simple sentence if
it contains only one independent clause.
NOTE: At this point you must review dependent and independent clauses, or you will have
trouble understanding the four kinds of sentences.
4. KINDS OF SENTENCES S-1
Revised Spring 2010 4
COMPOUND SENTENCE
The compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined by a semi-colon
or a coordinating conjunction with a comma. A compound sentence is an example of
coordination, that is, two independent clauses are linked together. Proper coordination
requires linking two ideas that are related or that represent a sequence in which one idea is
a logical extension of the first idea. The compound sentence is always balanced; both ideas
are equally important and related to one another.
A semi-colon is used to join two independent clauses that are related in meaning.
Example: The art gallery has closed for the day; it will open tomorrow morning.
Each of the above independent clauses could have stood alone as a simple sentence, but
because the ideas are closely related--the closing and opening of the art gallery--the
independent clauses are connected by using the semi-colon. Using a coordinating
conjunction with a comma could also join the two independent clauses.
There are seven coordinating conjunctions which you might need to memorize:
and, but, for, so, yet, or, nor. The seven coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember
with the word FANBOYS.
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So
In the following example, the two independent clauses are underlined; they are joined by a
comma and a conjunction, which is in bold letters.
Example: The art gallery has closed for the day, but it will open tomorrow morning.
Although using coordination will create variety in your writing, be careful not to use too many
compound sentences. An overuse of compound sentences can make your writing
monotonous. In any paragraph, some ideas should stand alone (simple sentence) and some
ideas should be presented as less important than others (complex sentence).
5. KINDS OF SENTENCES S-1
Revised Spring 2010 5
COMPLEX SENTENCE
A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
The main idea is always in the independent clause, while additional or supporting
information is in the dependent clause. Because the dependent clause presents information
that is not as important as the main idea, the dependent clause is called a subordinate
clause. Thus a complex sentence uses subordination to express its idea(s).
Dependent clause Independent clause
Example: Although the gallery has closed for the day, it will open tomorrow morning.
Complex sentences allow you to link a series of ideas; however, if complex sentences are
overused, the reader may lose track of the meaning.
COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE
A compound-complex sentence is a compound sentence with one or more dependent
clauses.
Dependent clause Independent clause
Example: When the gallery closed for the day, the docent turned the lights off, and
Independent clause
she placed the sign on the door.
Exercise 1: In each of the following sentences, circle the dependent clauses and underline the
independent clause. Then identify each sentence as simple (S), compound (CD), complex (CX),
or compound-complex (CC).
1. The novels of Mark Twain are well known.
2. The lights in Springfield went out when lightning hit that power line, but JEA
restored service in less than one hour.
3. The art auctioneer stepped to the podium, and then he asked his assistant to
describe the first painting to be sold.
4. Fish swim in underground streams beneath the Sahara Desert.
