What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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.

Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
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”.
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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.
2. I want the character of
Karl to be known for
his unique dress sense
and attachment to his
favourite item of
clothing (his jumper).
This outfit choice is
vital as he will be seen
wearing it in every
scene, even his dream.,
meaning that the
audience will associate
the jumper with the
character. The jumper
may not be identical to
the one featured on
this page but it should
be bold in design and
bright in colour as
bright colours are a
convention of the
genre. Karl will be
wearing jeans as well,
this is a less significant
item but important
none the less. In terms
of shoes he could wear
a boot styled shoe such
as the iconic
Dr.Martens.
I want the character of Sarah to be
portray as a typical ‘girly’ girl,
therefore a dress would be an
obvious choice. I like the idea of a
skater styled dress because in terms
of Karl’s dream it won’t look too
formal but she will look more
dressed up than himself. Also as
Sarah’s character only appears in
the external scene of the shoot and
it will be shot in winter it will need
to be warm; the style of the dress
will allow the actress to wear tights
underneath, ensuring that she
doesn’t get too cold on set.
To link the characters together the
footwear could be similar for both
characters, therefore Sarah will
wear boots.
The only scene where Karl’s Mum
features in the film opening is during
the scene where Karl eats his
breakfast in the kitchen. She is shown
to be washing up, so she shall be
dressed in generic washing up/chores
clothing: a white blouse, dark denim
jeans and washing up gloves
(preferably yellow to fit with the
genre).
Seeing as she is at home her choice of
footwear is less significant in terms of
portraying character and being
barefoot may in fact make the last
shot where Karl grabs his forgotten
shoes even more comical.
3. Oscar Jenkinson as Karl.
I have chosen Oscar Jenkinson to play the
role of Karl as I have worked with him on a
previous media project, therefore we have
a good working relationship. As a person
Oscar is very funny and energetic but also
comes across as very clumsy which is a
personality trait that I want to portray in
the character of Karl. Oscar also shares a
similar unique dress sense as Karl, making
costume choice easier. He also has acting
experience which will help him to portray
the character of Karl in a short time period
(2 minutes).
Georgia Stickley as Sarah.
Georgia is the same age as Oscar, therefore
making it believable that they both go to
school together and that he has a crush. The
age of the characters (being late teens)
promotes the comedic value of the marriage
proposal in Karl’s dream. Georgia is an
attractive actress , who has a quirky style- this
will make the schoolboy crush relatable for the
audience. Georgia also has the ability to add
extra meaning to her words through her facial
expressions, this will be key in her response to
the dialogue received from Karl.0
Mabel Collins playing Karl’s mum.
Mabel will be suitable of playing a
motherly role as she is older than both
Oscar and Georgia, giving her a natural
sense of authority. Mabel also has no
distinguishing features which means that
she could play any role, so making her
appear older (as Karl’s mother)would be
much easier. She has plenty of acting
experience and is very eloquent in the way
she communicates verbally, ensuring that
her lines will be delivered with much
character.
4. Other than costumes there are a minimal amount of props required for the
film, this will help to reduce the cost of the filmmaking process and most props
for the film can be sourced on loction.
However, the kitchen scene requires a plate and a sponge to show that the
character is in fact washing up rather than just stood by the sink. There could
also be some other dirty kitchen utensils that require washing to increase the
continuity of the scene. These props wouldn’t require large finances as they
could be sourced on location (but obviously replaced if damaged in the filming
process). It will also require Karl’s breakfast e.g. toast or cereal and a glass filled
with orange juice.
The swing scene requires no props as everything required are on location.
The bedroom scene: clothes scattered on the floor, bed, posters, bedside table,
window and a watch (for when Karl looks the time). All of these props can
easily be gathered on site which will lower the expenses needed to source them.
