Language Learner Profile: Learning Strategiescmillafilo
In the different research concerning how a second language can be acquired, it has been shown that many factors affect acquisition process of the language. This piece of work covers the influence of learning strategies by English language learners, and how the use of these can improve their level of proficiency or their understanding of the target language.
We are third year students of the English teaching major that the UCSC offers, and we are currently in our “Teaching Experience I”. For the purpose of effectiveness of our future lessons, we decided to carry out this research interviewing a second year student of a secondary school located in Concepción.
This student had an interview with us, and on the basis on that, we spot the possible linguistic problems that she had. In this piece of work, we are going to analyze the difficulties she had in order to make proposals, and plan a lesson so that this student can overcome those problems.

ABSTRACT
Nowadays we hear very often people talking about the usage of cannabis or as most of people simply call it marijuana. A considerable number of people use the subject just for making a dull conversation more interesting without even thinking about the bigger picture, while the road to marijuana addiction is more complex than it seems. To some this drug seems like a way to solve or avoid their problems, even for a short period of time, to others it is a way to spend time recreationally, and then there are the ones who use it to make profits. In America there is a great potential in the industry of legally selling marijuana but in our country people of different ages see it in a different way. This research will try to present the general view and opinion on the acceptance and the refusal of the drug and it will also try to answer the question “Should marijuana be legalized?”
Abstract
The main purpose of this essay is to show the way students are motivated nowadays, because motivation undoubtedly represents the main factor towards accomplishing their dreams. This essay will attempt to discuss some possible components that influence students’ learning. It will present the survey conducted to show the points that students find the most and the least influential in their learning. While the level of motivation they retain varies with each individual, very often the reasons they are motivated are not so different.
When do we use math/numbers?
The homework I assign after the class is for the students to go home and ask their parents, discuss with them or think about how they use math during the day. The take photos or record interesting examples and then we make a class video or a poster presentation.
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.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. Contextualizing Language
By Biljana Pipović, Gimnazija “Stevan Jakovljević”, Vlasotince
Key words: context, language, fluency, accuracy, positive learning environment, communication, communicative
competence
Many linguists recognize the importance of language to a culture or people. Many
consider language a reflection of reality. Language therefore should be considered a part of
culture and understood in its context. Sometimes we forget that! Sometimes we forget how
important context is when reading or writing a text, for example. A phrase taken out of context
can result in great confusion. Both in life and in class!
Contextualization is not a teaching method or pedagogy like TPR or CLT. It is a concept, a way
to make foreign language teaching more authentic and meaningful to students. According to
Sarah J. Klinghammer (Textbook vs. “Real World” Communication): “The rationale for this kind
of approach is to demonstrate “real” world language use, how language is used by speakers of
that language, and to help learners construct language in their learning environments,
depending on (1) their purpose and, (2) the needs of a given situational context.” This can mean
anything from role-playing to academic presentations! If we want to make our students acquire /
learn a foreign language naturally and communicate effectively, it is our obligation to provide
these three things: a positive learning environment, content and enough time for conversation.
Meaningful Content
Most of the activities I use in my classroom, I do not find in textbooks, as those mostly provide
and teach grammar rules and structures, and add vocabulary to these structures. However, little
do they offer related to the appropriate language use. Thus, I agree with Sarah
J. Klinghammer when she points out that “Appropriate language use is learnt through context.”
Contextualizing language is, first of all, entertaining and fun and can provide motivation to learn.
It can provide varied opportunities for different uses of language and because it engages
feelings it can provide rich experience of language for students. It encourages students to
speak, it gives them a chance to communicate (even if they are not very fluent), using nonverbal
communication – gestures, facial expressions, body movements. It brings the real world into the
classroom. It helps students acquire language by focusing on the message, not the form.
However, this can be a shortcoming – this creates fluency, but not accuracy of usage.
2. Therefore, if we want to practise accuracy, we have to include some other techniques. For
example, Four voice dictation. It is one of the most realistic listening exercises that I know (This
is one of many excellent techniques I have learned from Herbert Puchta.) We put students in a
situation similar to a noisy bus station or a party with a lot of people in a small place. They have
to follow the voice of their leader and ignore the voices of the others. Excellent practice for real
life!
Accuracy vs. Fluency
In reality, accuracy and fluency are closely related – which leads us to the notion that accuracy
as well as fluency is necessary for successful communication. Therefore, “in order for students
to achieve high levels of proficiency in a language, there needs to be a balance
between language and language use.” (CAPRII article) Being a well-trained teacher I am more
than aware of that. Accuracy activities may require more teacher preparation and they have to
be carefully monitored or controlled. That is what I do with my intermediate and advance
students because I want them to be able to read and write efficiently, too. What is more, I
believe that at this stage they are confident enough to start learning about the language itself.
Developing fluency is important in building up the students‟ confidence and maintaining the
sense of achievement. And then, in my opinion, comes accuracy. Language without
communication is useless. I am convinced that knowing grammar rules does not necessarily
result in good speaking and writing. It is obvious that we cannot teach English without focusing
in same stages on grammar – on the form or structure of the language. At this point I would like
to mention eclecticism („coherent, pluralistic language teaching‟ according to the definition) as a
way of combining as many methods as possible to reach specific goals. I find that informed
teaching is bound to be eclectic.
Accuracy vs. Fluency: Is There A Third Way? Long time ago I took part in a similar debate –
grammarians eye-to eye with communicative theorists. While talking to other teachers, I found
out one important thing about myself – when teaching English I strive for communicative
competence! Namely, looking at my lesson plans, I noticed that the first thing I wrote related to
aims and objectives was: developing communicative competence. Having in mind my classes, I
can say that I focus more on fluency than accuracy as I always encourage my students to speak
and make themselves understood in English rather than say the right form correctly. I always tell
them that they just need to be creative as there are no „right‟ or „wrong‟ answers. What is more, I
3. think that correcting mistakes (especially in the case of young learners) can be
counterproductive – it may create a negative attitude towards learning English and may diminish
a child‟s interest in learning English. I remember that as a child I hated teachers who did that.
So, what do I do? If I find a student cannot answer the question or has made a grammar
mistake (I call them BGs – big grammar mistakes), I ask other students to help, I use gestures, I
use the tone of my voice and I always smile.
Enhancing the Environment
I try to be supportive all the time. I tend to offer positive feedback whenever possible and I
praise children for their participation. As you can notice I am really into a positive learning
environment. Creating a positive learning environment is something that all students deserve
because that allows them to feel comfortable, safe and engaged. In that way students are more
open to actively participating in class. A positive learning environment contributes a lot to the
way students learn because it resembles the way they feel at home. Conversations at home are
generally in cosy surroundings with the people they know. What is more, the language is
contextualized. In the classroom, language is different and the children are expected to learn a
new language very quickly while keeping up with the demands of the curriculum. As teachers, it
is our duty to make sure that our students acquire rather than learn the language. We must put
the language we teach in context.
Being an enthusiastic educator who places a large emphasis on differentiation, I understand
that each child is unique and that students learn in different ways. I believe it is essential for
educators to recognize the needs, interests and the ways each child functions and according to
that to differentiate their lessons to better meet the needs of their students. Therefore, effective
lesson planning must take into account many different points. We may use the same
textbooks and we may know the same methods and techniques, but we must never forget that
our students are not the same. Because all students are different, they will respond differently to
tasks, thus I believe in giving a multitude of tasks including: quizzes, projects, presentations,
songs, games, drama, dictations (!) and other types of activities to put my students in a situation
where they can practise the target language meaningfully, but also to make my lessons
interesting.
4. If variety is the spice of life, so why not the spice of ELT? „Teaching should be full of ideas
instead of stuffed with facts‟ (author unknown) and show that some, for students boring and
rather dry activities, can bring a lot of fun and be not only interesting but also highly educational.
Teaching writing skills as well as grammar rules does not have to be time-consuming, teacher-
centred, non-communicative, uncreative, ineffective… On the contrary, it can be so interesting
that it can turn our passive and not so motivated students into eager and, believe it or not, pretty
active and involved participants. You simply have to try something new, something
different…You will enjoy, and what is more your students will enjoy, too. Not to mention,
improving your students‟ knowledge and their communicative competence.
