The document discusses the history and current state of race relations in several Latin American countries. It describes how indigenous groups in Bolivia and elsewhere were oppressed for centuries under Spanish rule and forced into slave labor. It also explains that in the Dominican Republic and elsewhere in Latin America, there is a stigma against dark skin due to a desire to associate with European colonial powers. The document provides context on independence movements in Haiti and how this shaped views of race there versus neighboring countries.

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.

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.

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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. Americas: Mirrors of the Heart: Race and Identity Bolivia When the Spanish came to South America they took over the Incan Empire. They considered the indigenous people to be second-class citizens at best, and treated them as such. The Indians were pressed into slavery, working in inhumane conditions both in silver mines and in the fields. This lasted as late as the 20th century in some areas. In 1952 there was a revolution, which brought around a lot of changes. The indigenous people were made citizens and given the right to vote.
3. Mirrors of the Heart cont. Dominican Republic Most of the people are a mix of African slaves and Spaniards. Being black is associated with their neighboring country, Haiti. It is considered an undesirable thing. Part of their hatred of being black stems from an attempt in 1822 by Haiti to invade the Dominican Republic. This invasion was associated with black people, aiding with the belief that being black is undesirable Mulattos call themselves white or light Indian, instead of black. Blacks call themselves dark Indian, instead of black. The term “improve the race” refers to wanting your offspring to be more white.
4. Mirrors of the Heart cont. Haiti In the 1700’s French colony Haiti was the richest colony in the Americas. It obtained this status as a direct result of its African slave labor. In 1791 the slaves revolted, ultimately gaining independence from France. This independence made it the first black republic in the Western hemisphere. Haitians have a different perspective on race than their Dominican Republic neighbors. They celebrate their ancestry, considering their dark skin to be a desirable trait.
5. Mirrors of the Heart cont. The Spanish invaders found multiple ways to force the native population to submission. They forced them into slavery. Sometimes this slavery was in the form of manual labor, sometimes it was as a pongo- basically a never ending indentured servant. The pongowas considered a living part of the hacienda (estate). Women living in the hacienda were under the derecho de pernada. They were the hacienda owners property, and as such he had rights to any women on his estate. They forced the women to wear Spanish clothing, such as the pollera dress. Being white and in power, the indigenous people soon associated power and success with being white. Soon it was undesirable to be dark skinned.
6. The Second World - Part IIIChapter 14 South American had been colonized by Spain and Portugal. North America supported the push for independence from colonial rule, mostly as a means of self defense. The United States wished to expand their power, but not in the traditional way of overpowering the nation. Instead, they intended to be more subtle, using their support of the rejection of colonialism as a way of getting their foot in the door.
7. The Second World - Part IIIChapter 15 Mexico’s proximity to the United States has been both a blessing and a curse to both nations. The shared border offers Mexico protection. As a Mexican diplomat said “nobody is going to invade Mexico”. However, with the growing trend of businesses and factories moving to cheaper locations in Asia, it has resulted in the loss of Mexican jobs, driving up illegal immigration into the US. Mexican immigrants living in the US provide Mexico’s primary source of national income in the form of remittances.
8. The Second World - Part IIIChapter 18 Brazil is South America’s largest nation by landmass. It has a variety of agricultural exports, and is a world leader in airplane design and production. Three-quarters of the country is urban, which inevitably lead to its statistic of having the highest rate of gun deaths in the world in 2003. Like other South American nations it has a large disparity between classes. This disparity between people living a first-world versus a third-world lifestyle, all within the same borders, balances out to a second-world nation that has big dreams of being a first-world nation. Brazil
9. The Second World - Part IIIChapter 19 After the initial European conquest of South America, Argentina was one of the most prosperous nations. In fact by 1920 is was amongst the top 10 wealthiest nations in the world. The nation emulated itself after its European settlers, earning it a reputation of beauty, sophistication, and arrogance. Despite it’s attempts to be a first-world county, it has yet to succeed due to civil unrest, poor economical planning, and refusal to take responsibility for itself as a nation, instead depending upon other, richer nations to bail them out.
