CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) refers to teaching subjects through a foreign language with the dual aims of learning content and language simultaneously. It is not simply translating first language teaching, nor is it just disguised grammar lessons. There is no single CLIL model as the context must be considered. The main aims of CLIL are to acquire knowledge and language skills through the target language, understand both cultures, and develop cognitive and social abilities. Key aspects of CLIL include group work, projects, student mobility, and formative assessment. It emphasizes a lexical rather than grammatical approach where language is based on the context of the subject and students are not afraid of making mistakes.

The teacher's role shifted from explicit instruction to allowing more student independence as they progressed through the stages of the cycle.
The document discusses creating effective literate environments in classrooms. It emphasizes four main aspects: getting to know students through cognitive and non-cognitive assessments; selecting texts that span different genres and reading levels; focusing on the interactive perspective of teaching reading through direct instruction; and providing opportunities for critical thinking and student response to texts. Effective environments get to know individual students, use assessments to guide instruction, incorporate a variety of texts at different reading levels, teach metacognitive reading strategies through modeling and scaffolding, and allow students to engage with and respond to what they read.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
