The document discusses the emergence of the United States and Soviet Union as the two dominant global superpowers following World War II and the beginning of the Cold War era. It outlines several key policies and events from this period, including the Truman Doctrine establishing the policy of communist containment in Europe, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Western Europe, the formation of NATO as a military alliance against the Soviet threat, and US intervention in the Korean War to prevent further communist expansion. Overall, the US sought to strengthen democratic allies, promote economic recovery and development, and contain Soviet influence around the world in the postwar period.

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.

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.

2. The Bomb Readings
• What justifications were contained
in the readings?
• Who justified the bombings?
• Were we justified in bombing
Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
• What fallout are we still facing from
nuclear weapons?
3. Effects of WWII
• US and USSR emerge as the two superpowers in the world – we now enter a
bipolar era of foreign policy.
• The Marshall Plan: US plan to aid Europe in the aftermath of World War
II. Part of the Truman Doctrine.
• Remove tariffs
• Modernize industry
• Rebuild Europe
• Stop the spread of communism.
4. The Truman Doctrine
• Outlines US foreign policy in the postwar
period – containment of communism in
Europe.
• Essential aspect of US expanding its foreign
policy to foreign nations.
• Stresses modernization, stability, and no direct
military intervention.
• Echoes today?
5. The Marshall Plan
• Named after Secretary of State George
Marshall
• Plan aimed at aiding allied nations primarily.
UK receives 26% of aid, France 18% and West
Germany 11%.
• Splits Europe in to zones of US and USSR
influence.
• US ships 1/6 of total food supply to Europe
and Japan between 1945 and 1946.
6. But Why? Speech from George Marshall
The modern system of the division of labor upon which the exchange of products is
based is in danger of breaking down. ... Aside from the demoralizing effect on the
world at large and the possibilities of disturbances arising as a result of the desperation
of the people concerned, the consequences to the economy of the United States
should be apparent to all. It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is
able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health to the world, without
which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is not
directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any
government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part
of the USA. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so
as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions
can exist.
7. Effects of Marshall Plan
• George Marshall receives Nobel Prize for the
humanitarian efforts of the Plan.
• Hastens Western Europe’s rebuilding.
• Creates suspicion in Moscow and leads to
increasingly fraught relationship between US and
USSR.
• Strengthens bond between the US and Western
Europe.

9. The Creation of NATO
• In 1949, the US along with 11 Western European nations sign a collective
defense agreement known as the North Atlantic Treaty.
• Cements common defense interests – an attack on one nation is an attack on
all – in order to face the threat of communism in Europe.
• Warsaw Pact, a collective defense treaty of Communist nations, forms in
response to NATO.
11. The Korean War
• After declaring war on Japan, USSR invades Korean peninsula. Territory
subsequently split at the 38th parallel between US and USSR zones of occupation.
• Tensions escalate between communist factions in the North and pro-democracy
advocates in the South.
• Becomes a global conflict when Truman resolves to intervene in order to prevent
further spread of communism in Asia.
• June 24, 1950: Truman informed that the North (under Kim Il-Sung) invaded the
South with Soviet support. Resolves to intervene militarily.
12. Truman on Korea
“Communism was acting in Korea, just as Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese
had ten, fifteen, and twenty years earlier. I felt certain that if South Korea was
allowed to fall, Communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations
closer to our own shores. If the Communists were permitted to force their way
into the Republic of Korea without opposition from the free world, no small
nation would have the courage to resist threat and aggression by stronger
Communist neighbors.”
13. Aftermath of War
• Korea divided between North (communist)
and South (democratic) at the 38th parallel
once the US and North Korea finalize a
ceasefire.
• Korean War will set the basis for US foreign
policy for next half century.
• “Policing” force of the Western world
opposed to spread of communism.
