The document provides advice on effective classroom management and teacher-student interaction. It discusses avoiding distracting gestures and aggressive pointing, keeping classrooms quiet spaces for study. Learners should raise their hands to contribute rather than calling out. Demonstrating activities is sometimes preferable to lengthy explanations. The document also addresses classroom layout, grading language used, and critiquing an example teacher's instructions to learners.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

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.

Do you agree or disagree?
1. Avoid using too many gestures - they are very distracting for
learners.
2. Don't point at learners - it can seem very aggressive.
3. Classrooms are places of study - so they should be largely quiet.
4. If learners want to make a contribution, they should put up their
hand and wait to be asked.
5. Demonstrating activities is sometimes better than explaining
activities.
8. Presentation Title runs here l 00/00/008
Good advice or bad advice?
a Pronounce each word slowly and deliberately.
b Use gestures, pictures and other things that will support what you are
saying to make it easier to understand.
c Speak with natural rhythm and intonation.
d Miss out small words (articles, prepositions, auxiliary verbs and so on) so
that learners can focus on the 'content' words and understand the message.
e Speak at a natural speed, but pause slightly longer after each 'chunk', if
necessary.
f Try to avoid 'difficult' vocabulary (for example, very idiomatic language).
g Try to avoid complex grammar patterns.

Critique…
OK, so if you wouldn't mind, open your books and look at the pictures about
what the man does now and what he used to do – OK yeah, they're on page
87 - yeah you can find them in just a sec, doesn't really matter now - OK-
they're just some ideas for you to think about. OK, and then what I want you
to do is, you're going to write some sentences, about four, maybe a few more
- don't worry if you find it difficult, just have a go anyway. So, write some
sentences about things you used to do, but you don't do now. OK? And when
you've done that I want you to compare them with your partner - or you can
work in threes if you'd rather - I don't think it matters too much - OK, so do
you understand all that? - and then I want you to mingle around and then find
someone that you have something in common with. Have you got that? All
right, so let's start - I would like you to write some sentences.
11. Presentation Title runs here l 00/00/0011
How about this…
So look at these pictures. [Teacher holds up the book and points to
the pictures.] You can use these for ideas, if you want. And then write
some sentences about things you used to do, but you don't do now.
Write four sentences, please.
[Learners write some sentences.]
OK, let me stop you there - don't worry if you've only written three.
Now compare your sentences with a partner. [Teacher indicates who
should work with who and then learners compare.] OK- good - now, I
want you to stand up - talk to as many people as you can and find
people that used to do the same things as you. OK? So, for this do
you speak or write? [Learner answers 'speak'] OK, and do you speak
to one person or lots of people? [Learner answers: ‘lots’] OK, so,
stand up, please. [Learners stand up and mingle.]

Think about your next lesson.
What will be the best seating arrangements?
Will they be the same throughout the lesson?
Plan the instructions that you will need to give.
Will you use the board in the lesson? What will you need to write?
When would it be appropriate to erase what you write?
At what points in the lesson will you monitor the learners?
What will you be looking and listening for?
14. Presentation Title runs here l 00/00/0014
Let’s discuss!
• seating
• language grading
• boardwork
• pairwork
• giving instructions
• early finishers
• monitoring
If you were me, would you have arranged this classroom in this way today?
a large class
a small, business English class
a grammar presentation
pairwork
groupwork
a written exam
One of the most important things that teachers have to learn is how to adjust their language to make it appropriate for different groups of learners, particularly lower-level learners.
Five sentences offer good advice, two offer bad advice.
Then compare your answers with a partner.
