This document discusses three topics in English language teaching: false friends, mnemonic techniques, and advanced organizers. False friends are words that look or sound similar in different languages but have different meanings. Mnemonics are memory tools that help learners recall information through associations, rhymes, or other strategies. Advanced organizers present new content by linking it to prior knowledge using familiar concepts or visual representations. Examples of each topic are provided along with sources for further information.

Communicative Language Teaching is the cornerstone for approaches that have shifted from a grammar-based language view to a functional view of language where communication is the main objective. Such approaches are CBI (Content-based instruction) and TBI (Task-based instruction). Today, both CBI and TBI are the leading approaches most teachers are currently using to teach a second/foreign language around the world. Both approaches have been proven to be effective, and the most important thing is that students are truly learning to use language to communicate their ideas to different audiences.

Community Language Learning advises teachers to take their students as “whole person.” Students decide the topic and teachers act to like conselors. The learning is inductive.
This presentation is an introduction to some classic definitions and concepts in second language Acquisition. It is part of the seminar on applied linguistics offered at Universidad del Valle.
World English refers to the English language as a lingua franca used in business, trade, diplomacy and other spheres of global activity, while World Englishes refers to the different varieties of English and English-based creoles developed in different regions of the world, Smith and Forman (1997), and Thumboo (2001b).

أولا : الملخص التنفيذي
مازالت "التنسيقية المصرية للحقوق والحريات" تتابع رصدها لانتهاكات حقوق الإنسان في مصر؛ ومما يؤسف له أن تستمر وتيرة الانتهاكات من قبل السلطات بحق المواطن المصري في مختلف الحقوق للشهر الخامس من العام 2016.
فبعد أن كان شهر إبريل نموذجا لحالة القمع الشديدة التي يعيشها المواطن المصري، ومقابلة السلطة له في أي احتجاج سلمي بالتنكيل والاعتقال. فقد تبعه شهر مايو2016 أيضا بعدد لا بأس به من الاحتجاجات والتحركات السلمية؛ في حين لم تقابل السلطات تلك التحركات سوي بالمزيد والمزيد من القمع والانتهاك.
حيث بلغت عدد حالات الاعتقال خلال هذا الشهر إلى 420 حالة اعتقال بينهم 5 من الإناث، وكذلك تعرض 25 معتقلا للتعذيب فيما تم رصده فقط، بينهم 16 حالة هي في حقيقتها تعذيب عن طريق الحرمان من العلاج والدواء الملائم ، فضلا عن 48 حالة اخفاء قسري.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Current issue in english language teaching
1. CURRENT ISSUE
IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TECHING
• False friend
• Mnemone techniques
• Advanced organizer
Presented By :
Musliadi Usman
2. 1. False friends:
• What are false friends?
• What do you think about
with this picture?
3. Definition
• False Friends are pairs of words or phrases in two different
languages which look and/or sound similar but which have very
different meanings. False Friends are sometimes known as False
Cognates.
• Learners will often assume the corresponding word or phrase in the
target language will have the same meaning as the word or phrase in
their mother tongue. This often leads to mistakes.
• Interlingual homophones on the other hand sound the same but have
different meanings
4. Example: Verb (english-germanic)
• “Yesterday, I spent €300 to Unicef.“
• to spend = ausgeben, vergeuden
• spenden = to donate, to dispense
“Yesterday, I donated 300€ to Unicef
What? You
spent money to
Unicef?
5. Examples of False Friends
WORD ENGLISH MEANING SPANISH MEANING
EVENTUALLY In the end/finally possibly
ARGUMENT A verbal fight
The plot of a book,
film or play
SENSIBLE To have good sense sensitive
ACTUALLY In fact nowadays
CONDUCTOR
A person who leads
an orchestra
The driver of a vehicle
CONTENT satisfied happy
LIBRARY
A place where you
borrow books
A place where you
buy books
6. Mnemonic and techniques
• Mnemonics:
are memory devices that help learners recall larger
pieces of information, especially in the form of lists
like characteristics, steps, stages, parts, phases,. in
1967 from a study by Gerald R. Miller that
mnemonics increased recall. He found that students
who regularly used mnemonic devices increased test
scores up to 77%
7. Techniques
Music Mnemonics
How many lyrics to songs do you remember? How did you come
to remember them?
The same method you used to recall song lyrics also can work
just as well in academics.
Example, some children learn the ABC's by singing the "ABC"
song
Name Mnemonics (acronym)
the 1st letter of each word in a list of items is used to make a
name of a person or thing.
Example, ROY G. BIV = colors of the spectrum
(Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet).
People Outside Keep Eating Macaroni Over Noodles = POKEMON
8. Expression or Word Mnemonic
To make an Expression or Word mnemonic, the first letter of each item in a list
is arranged to form a phrase or word.
Examples:
In English, the 7 coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So
= FANBOYS
Chunking mnemonics
it is memory technic breaking information down into the groups
or units.
• The example :
+905552366712 = +90-555-236-6712
9. Rhyme Mnemonics.
puts information in the form of a poem.
Examples the number of days in each month is:
30 days have September, April, June, and November.
All the rest have 31
Except February my dear son.
It has 28 and that is fine But in Leap Year it has 29.
10. Advanced organizer
• advance organizer is a type of instructional preparation that links
previously learned or known material to a new lesson. Usually the
new material is at a more advanced level of the same subject.
Familiar terms and concepts are re-introduced and applied again,
but at a higher level.
• Advance Organizer is an idea which needs to be explored
intellectually. In the teaching process, many teachers start their
lessons by asking the students to memorize their last week
activities.in the Advance Organizer Model, techers help the
students memorize their past activities by presenting or discussing
the general concepts they have recerived before.
11. Applications
Advance organizers can be applied in different ways.
For example:
• New material can be described using familiar terms
• Material can be introduced in the form of a story, using familiar terms
• Students can individually skim previously learned material before moving
onto the new material
•
Students can use graphic organizers to make visual connections between
what they've learned previously and the new material.
12. What are some examples of advance organizers?
• Advance organizers can present themselves in a plethora of ways.
These can include anything from skimming the reading material to
the use of graphic organizers.
• 1. Narrative
• 2. Expository
• 3. Skimming
• 4. Graphic Organizers
• 5. KWL Chart
13. Narrative
• This type of advance organizer presents new information in the
format of a story. For example, a teacher will provide the main
and important concepts of the lesson by telling a story that
includes these concepts
14. Expository
• This type of advance organizer is used to present new or detailed
information as oppposed to making connections with previously
introduced information.
•
15. Skimming
• Skimming is when the teacher provides the learners with the
opportunity to skim over the information that is about to be
introduced, focusing on highlighted information (headings).
16. Graphic Organizers
• Graphic Organizers are used as a
method of presenting information in
the visual realm.
• They are efficient because they
highlight and focus on just the
important aspects and they also show
relationships between necessary
information.
• Graphic Organizers take on a plethora
of avenues and looks, but the two
most utilized are Venn Diagrams and
Concept Mapping.
17. KWL Chart
• A KWL chart is a type of advance organizer that
can be used at any age and for any subject
matter. This particular chart has three steps:
• 1. What the learner already knows about the
subject matter
• 2. What the learner wants to know about the
subject matter
• 3. What the learner learned
• The first two steps take place before instruction.
These steps allow the teacher to activate prior
knowledge and get the students to ask questions
and be active particpants. The third step is the
last step of instruction, the culmination of the
lesson. Through this step, the learners reflect on
what they learned and if their questions were
answered.
