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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

3. Roberto Gómez Bolaños was a very intelligent and funny kid. At
that time, he clearly showed a high level of linguistic, musical and
kinesthetic intelligence.
By the time he was 20, he had spent a lot of time playing soccer,
boxing and composing music. But he had not yet tried writing
seriously. He dropped his engineering studies because he did not
like them.
One day, while he was working in a steel company, he saw an ad
from an advertising company in the newspaper. The ad wanted a
practical person to help in TV production and scriptwriting. He got
the job and started showing his potential.
4. While Gómez Bolaños was helping with production and jingles, the
advertising company asked him to write complete scripts for their
shows and to start acting.
One of the directors loved the scripts and decided to name him
Chespirito, to mean "little Shakespeare." After that, Chespirito
wrote 50 movies and several TV shows.Although he had not acted
before, he showed he was a very good and hilarious actor. His first
character was Dr. Chapatín.
Then came: Kiko, Chilindrina, Noño, Chimoltrufia, Chómpiras, etc. By
1970, he hadn't yet created El Chavo but he had already invented El
Chapulín Colorado (The Red Grasshopper). A year later, he came up
with El Chavo del 8 (The child from [the apartment number] 8)
5. By 1972, El Chapulín and El Chavo (two of Chespirito's most significant
characters) had already set a record in the Mexican TV ratings. By 1979, Spain
and many countries in Latin America were also broadcasting these shows.
El Chapulín was a successful character. It seems to be a criticism of
superheroes. He has the same values and mission of a superhero but he is
dumb and weak. He always makes mistakes and destroys places. The show
introduction and the heart with a Ch on Chapulín's chest seem to be a
caricature of Superman.
Its influence is so big that even The Simpsons has a character based on him
(the Bumblebee). These are some of the phrases that El Chapulín and El
Chavo made famous. Today some of them are part of Latin American cultural
tradition. No contaban con mi astucial: You did not count on my intelligence!
lo sospeché desde un principiol: I suspected it from the very beginning. .
6. El Chavo was just as successful. Part of its success ame from the
script because it revealed the Latin American reality of that
time.
It portrayed low-income people living together in a
neighborhood “vecindad” experiencing tragic and comic
situations.
El Chavo also presented children performed by adults and adults
that behaved like children. It was a good way to catch the
attention of both audiences
7. Chespirito calculated the expenses and gains of his TV shows very
well. He had a realistic selling strategy and he invested time and
money in it because he knew he was doing the right thing.
He is a good entrepreneur. By 1992, the year when the show
production stopped, millions of viewers around the world had
seen the show.
As a result of Chespirito’s entrepreneurial skills, his programs have
been translated into many languages such as French, Russian,
Portuguese, Italian, Chinese and Japanese.

22. Latin American Success
Fernando Gaitán is a successful Colombian TV scriptwriter. He has written
successful TV shows. Although his biggest success is Betty la fea (Ugly Betty),
by 1994 Gaitán’s fellow country men had already enjoyed another soap opera
that had reached the highest position in the ratings.
It was called Café con aroma de mujer, and it was very popular in many
countries all over Latin America. Some years before, Gaitán had also succeeded
with one more TV series about life on sugar cane plantations.
That series was Azúcar. Gaitán came up with Ugly Betty in 1999. Many
countries around the world liked this soap opera and Gaitán had to travel to
those places to help produce the new versions of the program.
It became a phenomenon in more than 60 countries on the 5 continents
including China —Ugly without Rival, USA —Ugly Betty, Mexico —La fea más
bella, Russia —Born Ugly, and India —There Is No One Like Jassi.
23.
24. By 2002, the ratings of the countries where the program was broadcast. In China, for
instance, 73 million Ugly Betty had already set a record in Mandarin speakers watched
the first episode presented by Televisa.
This number is a historic record in the country if we consider that, according to Nielsen
ratings, the average number of viewers for this type of programs is around 30 million.
For example, 11 million watch CSI every week and 14 million watch Desperate
Housewives. Although Gaitán’s genius is unquestionable, it is not a satisfactory
explanation for the program’s success.
What, then, explains this phenomenon? In the case of Colombia, we could talk about the
advertising campaign carried out by the producers. They also carefully calculated all the
details from expenses and gains to investment and selling strategies. In other countries,
there was also lots of advertising. Additionally, the script showed a very uncommon TV
situation. For the first time a soap opera star was unattractive.
In fact, Betty’s way to success was a fight for equal rights that did not depend on the
superficial idea of physical beauty, but on her intelligence. Finally, there was one more
ingredient that helped to have this good result. All the actors, not only the main ones,
did a great job in their interpretations.
25.
26. The funny side of the soap opera helped to get the incredible
ratings as well. Betty used to laugh at her own ugliness. While she
was working with her best friend, she even made jokes about it.
There was a group of hilarious secretaries called “the ugly girls
headquarters.” The mailman often made funny comments. Many
characters, especially the fashion designer, assumed a comic
attitude. The dialogs also included hilarious remarks.
In fact, the show was so funny for the people in the US that they
created a Halloween costume. All in all, different aspects
contributed to make this soap opera a great world success.
Which of these professionals did not appear depicted in
the soap opera?
