Using and Adapting Authentic Materials to Help Motivate StudentsRichard Pinner
This course offers an insight into how best to select and adapt authentic materials to use with students as a way of exposing them to other cultures and ways of thinking. It has been shown that authentic materials are more motivating for students (Peacock, 1997) and thus the class will feature practical demonstrations of ways in which authentic materials can be used to help motivate students.
In the class, participants will look at, observe and demonstrate tasks which utilise authentic materials and participants will also have the chance to a adapt materials and design their own tasks in a hands-on workshop.
Authentic texts are the best source of real life learning in students are classroom. Students become courageous to face real life situation. Teachers have to be more careful to choose texts to make them more comfortable in outside world.
Materials development stands as a crucial domain within ELT (English Language Teaching). For individuals aspiring to enhance and advance their English skills, the utilization of appropriate materials becomes imperative. Enclosed is a PowerPoint (PPT) file, the culmination of my comprehensive research on this subject, offering a historical overview of Materials development to aid your learning journey.

Presentation at the Texas Foreign Language Association 2013 Fall Conference
Abstract: Spanish teachers demonstrate their uses of the Spin TX Video Archive—a free and open collection of video interviews with bilingual Spanish speakers in Texas. Teachers discuss how they use the Spin TX videos to create standards-based lessons that focus on authentic, conversational Spanish. In particular, the teachers will show that the SpinTX videos capture language in context and demonstrate the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. Lesson plans based on the SpinTX videos include elements that lead to deeper language learning: thinking critically about language/culture problems, working collaboratively, and learning how to learn.
PBL for WL is not done in quite the same as it is done in other subject areas, but it is nevertheless, a phenomonal opportunity to give students more access to their own interests in conncection with the languguages and cultures we bring to our students!
Scientific documentaries as a bridge to academic writingcahafner
This is a presentation given at the HKUST Language Centre Retreat on Dec 21, 2011. It describes a project-based course in English for Academic Purposes, in which students create both scientific documentaries (using digital video) and more traditional lab reports.
In this webinar, participants will learn about discovery and language enrichment-based writing activities designed to increase student interaction, support differentiation of instruction, multiple learning styles, and both a content-based and language-based focus.
This webinar for English language teachers was hosted by the Regional English Language Office at the US Embassy in Peru.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
15. AUTHENTIC MATERIALS ARE...
• those designed for native speakers. They are real text
designed not for language students, but for the speakers of
the language in question. (Nunan)
• stretches of real language, produced by a real speaker or
writer for a real audience and designed to carry a real
message. (Harmer)
• “appropriate” and “quality” in terms of goals, objectives,
learner needs and interest and “natural” in terms of real life
and meaningful communication. (Rogers)
19. ACTFL.ORG GUIDELINES
EXAMPLE: Students listen to authentic audio clips featuring
native speakers describing an event, and can match the oral
description to a picture, or put pictures in the order of the
sequence of events as described.
EXAMPLE: Students read several authentic menus and identify
which would be appropriate for different people based on likes/
dislikes and special dietary needs.
EXAMPLE: Students browse the website of a current popular
magazine in a target language country.They identify the emotions
of the people in the photo based on their interpretation of visual
and linguistic cues and then discuss their findings with their
classmates.
