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.

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.

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.

• There’s limited punctuation, allowing the
poem to flow and run easily.
• Tone: simplistic, admirable.
• Themes: Irish landscape and history.
5. Who is T.P Flanagan?
T.P Flanagan was a famous Irish painter, who specialised
in painting Irish landscapes.
Sadly Flanagan died in 2011, at the age of 80 years.
Though ‘Bogland’ was written in 1969.
Irish poet Seamus Heaney, said he was “a teacher and a
friend” whose work held a “deep personal significance”.
Also that “Terry has also been very much a personal
friend as well as an artistic presence.”
T.P Flanagan taught at St Mary’s college where Heaney's
wife, Marie attended a few years before.
6. Form, Language, Structure
• There’s seven four line stanzas, with similar length
lines.
• The language creates interesting images in the readers
mind- “To slice a big sun at evening”.
• The poem narrates how the “pioneers keep striking
inwards and downwards” into the bogs, and what they
find.
• The speaker doesn’t seem to resent the pioneers, but
instead seems interested.
• Language is easy to understand, with references to
Ireland and its heritage.
• Heaney has produced nice imagery.
7. The Background of ‘Bogland’.
• Heaney grew up in rural northern Ireland. On his farm,
Mossbawn, there was plenty of Bogland, which his
family gathered peat from, as a form of fuel.
• Ireland has more bog than any other country in
Europe, besides Finland, so now has a great scientific
significance.
• It has been said that Heaney is interested in bogs, not
only because he originates from a Irish farming
background but also because he has seen pictures of
objects found in bogs.
• Heaney had talked of the bog being a symbol of a
consciousness that retains and observes.
8. There is continual references to Ireland, and historical
knowledge of the bogs throughout the poem. For example:
-”Great Irish Elk” was one of the largest deer that ever lived, it
originated from Ireland and has been carbon dated to of lived
7,700 years ago. Skeletons of the Great Irish Elk have probably
been found within Bogland.
-Also Heaney refers to “Butter sunk under More than a hundred
years”. I believe Heaney means Bog butter. Bog butter is a waxy
substance which is found in peat bogs such as Irelands. They
have been found, dating back to the 2nd or 3rd century, it is
thought to of been an ancient way of preserving food in wooden
barrels and burying them in peat bogs.
This highlights Heaney's interest in what you can find within the
Irish bogland.
