This workshop will present digital pathways to transform instruction for English Learners and to address the 4 Cs of Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity. These innovative resources are natural vehicles for engaging student interest, for differentiating reading and writing assignments, and for revisiting skills and content in a new, meaningful format. They can become an invaluable part of the small group structure, allowing the teacher more time for RTI, ELD, or other small group instruction. Sample lessons will show Common Core alignment, with flexible strategies that can be leveraged to enhance education across the K-12 grade span. We will also address workflow solutions, to make the review of student work manageable. The presenters will highlight language acquisition strategies, including all areas of communication: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Developing Listening and Speaking Skills with TechnologyFer De Vega

"Learning a subject in a foreign language is becoming a popular trend, but not all schools need this as a core programme. However, CLIL elements integrated properly in regular English classes can motivate students and therefore help them learn more effectively. My talk is going to briefly introduce the main principles of CLIL methodology for those who are new to it, and then show ways of implementing CLIL for increasing YLs' motivation in the context of general English courses."

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.

DIRECTIONS
Some of your ELLs may be
conversationally fluent in English but
struggle with reading in this language. In
addition to giving them written directions
in English, you can provide an activity
sheet or assignment that will link to a URL
where they can hear the directions read
aloud for them. You may decide to try
this strategy if your students are stronger
readers and you want them to practice
their listening skills. Another option is to
provide audio directions for students in
their native language so that they can
focus on the task at hand rather than
struggle with following written directions.
