April Fool's Day is celebrated annually on April 1st and involves playing pranks on unsuspecting people, calling them "April fools." The tradition originated in 1562 when Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar moving New Year's Day to January 1st, but some were unaware of the change and continued celebrating on April 1st, leading others to play tricks on them. Common April Fool's pranks today include attaching fake fish to people's backs in France and Italy or sending people on "fool's errands" to convince them of something false.

The basic question of the project: What do festivals tell us?
Problem questions:
1.What festivals do people celebrate in Britain and why?
2.How did they come?
3.Are they associated with the religions?
4. What traditions do British people have?
This is just a short presentation about English festivals I have prepared for my secondary students of EFL. I also include a follow-up activity at the end of it.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.
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. Introduction
All Fool's Day, also know as April Fool's Day, is
celebrated annually on the first day of April. It's
a time for the traditional playing of pranks upon
unsuspencting people... the victim of such a
prank being called April Fool.
In France and Italy, children, teens and adults
often tack papers fishes on each other's back
as a trick and shout: "April Finish!".
3. Origin and History
In 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new
calendar for the Christian world, and the
new year fell on January first. There were
some people who hadn't heard or didn't
believe the change in the date, so they
continued to celebrate New Year's Day on
April first. Others played tricks on them
and called them "April fools." They sent
them on a "fool's errand" or tried to
make them believe that something false
was true.
