The Soundscape
The world around us is full of sounds. All of them are meaningful in some way. Some
are sounds you make. You might sing in the shower, talk to yourself, shout to a
friend, whistle a tune, sing along with a song on your mp3 player, practice a piece on
your instrument, play in a band or orchestra, or sing in a chorus or an informal group
on a street corner. Some are sounds from sources outside yourself. If you live in the
city, you hear a lot of sounds made by people. You might be startled by the sound
of a truck beeping as it backs up, or by a car alarm. The noise of the garbage and
recycling trucks on an early morning pickup or the drone of a diesel engine in a
parked truck nearby might irritate you. In the country you can more easily hear the
sounds of nature. In the spring and summer you might hear birds singing and calling
to each other, the snorting of deer in the woods, or the excited barks of a distant dog.
By a river or the ocean you might hear the sounds of surf or boats loading and
unloading or the deep bass of foghorns. Stop for a moment and listen to the sounds
around you. What do you hear? A computer hard drive? A refrigerator motor? Wind
outside? Footsteps in the hallway? A car going by? Why didn’t you hear those
sounds a moment ago? We usually filter out “background noise” for good reason,
but in doing so we deaden our sense of hearing. For a moment, stop reading and
become alive to the soundscape. What do you hear? Try doing that at different times
of the day, in various places: Listen to the soundscape and pick out all the different
sounds you may have taken for granted until now.
Just as landscape refers to land, soundscape refers to sound: the characteristic
sounds of a particular place, both human and nonhuman. (The Canadian composer
R. Murray Schafer developed this term; see Schafer 1980.) The examples so far offer
present-day soundscapes, but what were they like in the past? What kinds of sounds
might dinosaurs have made? With our wristwatches we can always find out what
time it is, but in medieval Europe people told time by listening to the bells of the local
clock tower. Today we take the sounds of a passing railroad train for granted, but
people found its sounds arresting when first heard.
The American naturalist Henry David Thoreau was alive to the soundscape
when he lived by himself in a cabin in the woods at Walden Pond 160 years ago. As

he wrote inWalden, “The whistle of the steam engine penetrated my woods summer
and winter—sounding like the scream of a hawk sailing over some farmer’s yard.”
After this ominous comparison—the hawk is a bird of prey—Thoreau describes the
train as an iron horse (a common comparison at the time) and then a dragon, a
threatening symbol of chaos rather than industrial progress: “When I hear the iron
horse make the hills echo with his snort like thunder—shaking the earth with his
feet, and bre.

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.
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.

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.

sounds around us. They are
very important part of our life.
Even from the moment we
wake up, we can already hear
a sound
13. 13
How are sounds produced?
Sound is produced by vibration. Let’s say
for example, a guitar. What happens
when we pluck the strings of a guitar? We
hear sound. What is producing this
sound? When a string of a guitar is
plucked, it moves from one side to
another in a back and forth motion or you
can say it vibrates.
30. Which of the following shows the
importance of knowing the different
sounds in our community?
30
Kianna know that it was a snake because of the hissing
sound she heard. So, she called her dad right away.
Josh and his friends had an accident one time when they went to a forest.
It is because when they heard a roaring sound, they just ignored it thinking
it was just nothing.
Ashton keep on kicking the cat even if it is already making a
sound that is ready to attack him. So when he kick him again,
the cat scratch his leg.
31. 31
What do you think will happen to
our community if sounds don’t
exist?
32. Which is correct?
◍ I will kick or hit with a stick animals whenever they
make sound.
◍ I will take care of these things for they add color in my
life.
◍ I will make sure that no single animal can stay at my
