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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

18. INTRODUCTION
Set in the year 2157, when children learn individually at home using a
mechanical teacher (robotic teacher), the story tells of an eleven-year-old Margie
Jones, whose neighbour Tommy finds a real book in the attic of his house. Isaac
Asimov depicts a school system which is independent of human teacher and
based on technical advance. In this system there are no human mistakes and it
is a perfect way to give every child the same knowledge and information as per
his level. But there are some disadvantages too. Human pupils do not learn like
a computer. I think learning has to be a kind of fun, otherwise the probability of
forgetting is higher. Studies have come to the result that you can learn things
better if you have fun while you are learning.
19. INTRODUCTION….
Another disadvantage is that there is no social , moral and emotional
development like at schools in past. Learning with friends at school
can be a motivation. At schools today, the pupils improve their
communication and their behavior in a group. In Asimov´s future
vision, there are no human teachers who can give moral values to
the children. Giving moral values is the duty of their parents and
teachers because a mechanical teacher cannot give moral values.
20. CONTINUES…..
I think the story "The Fun They Had" is very interesting.
It shows how the world could be in 2157 when
everybody owns a machine teacher. Isaac Asimov´s
representation of a non-desirable school of the future
gives you "food for thought" how school should be and
how much computers determine our lives. So in my
opinion it is an excellent story.
21. SUMMARY
The story takes us to the world of future where computers will play a major role in the
field of education. Books and schools as we know now will perhaps not exist.
The story opens with Margie writing in her diary about an old book that Tommy had
found. Margie was reminded of her grandfather who had once talked about his
grandfather who went to an actual school where the students were taught by human
teachers. Tommy was thirteen years old and Margie was of eleven. They found many
strange things in the book. One of the strangest things was that after reading the
However, Margie and Tommy lived in the future world, in the year 2157 where
education was completely computerized. They did not go to schools. Instead, they
had a special study room where a computer taught them. The computer teacher
was programmed and adjusted according to the needs of each child.
The pages of the book they found were yellow and crinkly. Margie and Tommy
found it funny to read the words that didn’t move like they moved on the screen.
When they turned back to the page before, it still had the same words on it.
22. SUMMARY……
Margie hated school. She was having problems with learning Geography from her
'mechanical teacher’. It was black, large and ugly with a big screen on which all the
lessons were shown and questions were asked, all in a special room in their own
house. It could also calculate the marks in no time. Margie hated the slot where
she had to insert her homework or test papers. Once the geography sector of her
mechanical teacher was graded too quick so that her marks got worse and worse.
The county inspector rebuilt it in one hour.
Both Tommy and Margie wondered at the book found. Margie also wondered how
much fun it would be studying in a school. Studying in a fun way, with other children
and that too from a human teacher who gave them homework and asked
questions. They had a special building, where the children went to study and they
learned the same thing if they were the same age.
The author’s message is one of warning against the dangers of computerized
homeschooling which will deprive children of the benefits of the personal
interactions between students and teachers, which help them develop social skills.
