The document provides an overview of the characters in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. It describes the main characters such as Hamlet, King Hamlet, Gertrude, Claudius, Polonius, Ophelia, Laertes, and Horatio. It summarizes their roles, relationships, and fate over the course of the tragedy. The document also briefly outlines some of the minor characters and events in the play, such as Hamlet's encounter with the ghost of his father and his plans for revenge against his uncle Claudius.
Hamlet is far from a perfect character. His depression and melancholy, however understandable,cause him to misunderstand Ophelia and The Queen. he kills polonius by mistake, but he also sends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to their deaths with clear calculation.
Hamlet's insistence that even that part should be faced with courage, good humor and understanding which distinguishes him from the other characters and makes him Tragic Hero.

This was my group presentation for TSL 1064 Drama in English. This is a compulsory subject for all the TESL students in PPISMP Semester 2.
I hope by uploading this presentation, it will help the viewers especially for the TESL students from IPG.
In my 3rd year in college, I was assigned to discuss in the class one of William Shakespeare's plays and I chose Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. It was in our English&American Literature class with Mr. D.A. Aragon. :)
The 1st part of the presentation is, of course, a short introduction of the playwright. (this is a super-duper late upload. haha)

My Presentation is for all English Literature lovers. And should be free of cost. No one can determine the price of a writer. My Presentation is for free. Knowledge and information mist be promoted . I have this presentation help those who are in need of quick and easy points of understanding regarding Shakespeare's dramas' characteristics.
:-“Mac Flecknoe; or, A satyr upon the True-Blew-Protestant Poet, T.S.” was a lampoon by John Dryden against the poet laureate Thomas Shadwell who superseded him in 1669.
Mac means ‘son of’. So, MacFlecknoe means ‘Son of Flecknoe’, while the word ‘True-Blew’ means an extreme ‘Whig Blue’ which was the colour of the Tories.
Richard Flecknoe (c. 1600 – 1678) was an English dramatist and poet. His works were praised by some critics and derided by others. Why John Dryden used his name to ridicule and satirize Thomas Shadwell, his contemporary and one time friend who later became an enemy, is not clear. Flecknoe was a minor poet having religious inclinations and most of his writings were private writings. So, Dryden calling him ‘the monarch of absolute nonsense’ was similar to Iago’s ‘motive hunting of a motiveless malignity’. Thomas Shadwell was called the ‘son and successor’ of Flecknoe’.
The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by the English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. The novel is both a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel.

Hamlet is a tragedy play written by William Shakespeare, considered one of the greatest playwrights in the English language. The play is set in the Kingdom of Denmark and revolves around Prince Hamlet, who is consumed by grief and anger after the death of his father, King Hamlet, and the subsequent remarriage of his mother, Queen Gertrude, to his uncle, King Claudius.
Hamlet is a complex and psychologically nuanced character who struggles with existential questions about death, revenge, and the meaning of life. The play explores themes of revenge, mortality, madness, and corruption, as Hamlet grapples with the decisions he must make and the consequences that will follow.
Throughout the play, Hamlet interacts with a cast of dynamic and multi-faceted characters, including King Claudius, Queen Gertrude, Ophelia, and Horatio, each of whom plays an important role in the unfolding drama. Hamlet's relationships with these characters, and his inner turmoil, drive the narrative forward and lead to the play's tragic conclusion.
Hamlet was written during the reign of King James I and the Renaissance and reflects the ideas and values of this time, including a renewed interest in classical literature and a focus on humanistic values. It has had a profound impact on theater and literature, and continues to be widely performed and studied. Its complex characters, timeless themes, and memorable language have made it a classic of English literature, and its legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists, writers, and thinkers.

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.
