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.

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 wasnāt 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.

E portfolio midterm-denise hawkes
1. Welcome to your Portfolio Midterm!
There are three sections to your midterm. Please read instructions in each section and
follow the directions.
Section One:
By
(Denise Hawkes)
It is important that you make a commitment to succeed in your college education. A
good way to finish what you start is to start well! In one paragraph or more write what
your intentions (right under this paragraph) are for this class and your college education.
Intention statements are commitments you make to do a specific task or to take a
certain action. Remember to be effective your Intention Statements must begin with "I
will" or "I intend to" NEVER "I WILL TRY". Saying you will try is not good enough to
bring about change.
2. I intend to do great during my college education. I will graduate with a 3.5 or 4.0
gpa. I intend to have much better study habits than I have right now.
I will organize my schedule a lot better so I can submit all my assignments and
homework on time. I donāt think I will ever try to work two jobs while Iām in school
because this really interferes with my study habit with my classes.
Once I prioritize my life, my college education wonāt be too hard to complete.
I am so determine to be successful so Iām not going to allow little things to
distract me from my main goal, which is focusing on degree and going off to
medical school. I know that I will get tested a lot while Iām in college so I intend to
start now with dealing with every obstacle in a mature and calm manner. I CANāT
CRACK UNDER PRESSURE. Success is the key to my future all I need to do is
unlock the door.
3. Section Two: There are three Learning Style inventories in this section. Please
read the instructions and follow the directions for each:
One tool that students find most valuable is discussed in Chapter 1 and that is
DISCOVERING HOW YOU LEARN. This information will help you to take advantage of
your strengths and shore up your weaknesses in both school and daily living situations.
Knowing this information will help you choose activities that match your learning style. It
will also help you understand why you struggle with some activities, professors, and
courses and not others. You may also begin to understand why you get along, or work
better with some individuals than others (it may help explain why you might disagree
with those you are close to as well).
Learning Style Assignment #1: VARK
Refresher - VARK is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning
preferences. These preferences are about the ways that they want to take-in and give-
out information. Here is your assignment:
1. Copy and paste or type your VARK results.
Your scores were:
ā¢ Visual: 4
ā¢ Aural: 8
ā¢ Read/Write: 10
ā¢ Kinesthetic: 6
2. Now answer the following questions:
a. What are your two highest VARK scores?
Aural; Read/write
b. What are your two lowest VARK scores?
Kinesthetic; Visual
c. Read the Help Study Sheet a Guide to Learning Styles at:
http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=helpsheets
Click on each of the Leaning styles and read the study strategies.
4. d. Use one or more of the Learning Styles study strategies that you feel
would be most helpful to you and write a paragraph about each of the
following:
1. taking in information;
2. using information for effective learning;
3. communicating more effectively;
4. performing well in tests and examinations.
Write your Paragraph here:
1. Taking in information: When Iām learning something new or Iām
trying to gather information for something, I tend to go to
google.com or I look the dictionary online. I take information in
better when I see it online rather than reading it in a book. My
only source for taking in info will be going online.
2. Using information for effective learning Iām always looking for
new ways to learn which can turn out to be better for me or
faster for me to grasp information. As a college student I need to
be able to accurately remember as much info as I possible.
Nine times out of ten I will see this information again.
3. Communicating more effectively: I have learned that the way I
communicate sometime is in a positive way. Some things I may
say the wrong way when I didnāt intend it the way it was
interpreted. I have to listen better. I have learned to be sense
towards other because I know I have an aggressive tone.
4. Performing well in tests and examinations. I have to study in
quite places with absolutely no noise and it has to be 2 days
before the test and the day before the test or exams I only study
half a day so I wonāt forget the material.
5. Learning Style Assignment #2: Myers/Briggs
The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type IndicatorĀ® (MBTIĀ®) personality inventory is to
make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and
useful in peopleās lives. The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random
variation in the behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic
differences in the ways individuals prefer to use their perception and judgment.
1. Do the following:
a. Copy and paste or type your Score and Personality Type:
Score:

b. Do these careers match the careers you have chosen for yourself?
Answer: No
c. If no, will you change your career choice?

the things that were said about my personality in the results.
7. Learning Style Assignment #3: True Colors:
Are you a thinker, always analyzing, like a GREEN? Do you prefer inspiring people and

yours, to solve a scheduling problem.

bigger issues for me at home which will cause even bigger issues
for me at school.
9. The National Student Success Institute The National Student Success Institute
Section Three: Emotional Intelligence Activity: Tapping into Emotions
Directions: The following are examples adapted from Joshua Freedman's At the Heart
of Leadership: How to Get Results with Emotional Intelligence. He argues that we often
experience emotions in a pattern. For example, similar situations will trigger a type of
response. It will help us, he argues, if we learn to recognize the pattern and to dig
deeper to explore the reasons why we feel the way we do. Then, we should look for the
wisdom in the situation and response; in other words, we should look for a lesson to learn to
improve ourselves.
Using the following "typical" college student examples, reflect on your emotional
reaction to these types of situations and what you think the wisdom, or lesson, is in
each.
1. EMOTION: DISCOMFORT
TYPICAL SITUATION: You walk into a class for the first time and the professor
seems uninterested to teach or uninteresting in general. You suddenly get worried that
you will not enjoy this classāand you have to have it for your degree.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: I would automatically switch out of his
class and go to a different professor. Before I go to the new class I will first look
the new professors up on the rate your professor review board and make my next
move.
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: That you donāt have to sit back and settle for
something thatās not worth the stress. Where thereās a will thereās a way.
10. 2. EMOTION: ANXIETY/FEAR
TYPICAL SITUATION: You walk into class where the professor explains everything that
you are going to do this semester. He talks about a 15-page research paper, field studies,
and weekly journals. You don't even have access to a computer.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: I will just go to the library at the school or
the public library or I could even try going to a friend or family memberās house.
THE LESSON TO BE: Even though you may not have access to a computer at your
home doesnāt mean anything. There are a lot of public places that have access to
computers.
11. 3. EMOTION: EXCITEMENT
TYPICAL SITUATION: You find out that you won a scholarship that will pay for books,
tuition, and fees when you transfer to a four-year university next semester. You can't
wait to share the good news with your family because they were having a hard time
helping support you while you were in college.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: I would be so relieved because now
I wonāt have any stress or concerns hanging over my head or my familyās
and now all I have to do is finish up this semester with good grades then
transfer over to the new university where I can get my degree. Thatās a walk
in the part all I have to focus on is passing all my classes and keeping a high
gpa so I wonāt lose the scholarship.
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: When you do well in school you will be
rewarded. Hard work pays off.
12. 4. EMOTION: JOY
TYPICAL SITUATION: You have taken your last final exam and will be graduating next
week in front of your family, friends, and co-workersāand a few people who thought
you wouldn't make it. You have a job ready and waiting for you in your field of study.
While the pay may not be high, it offers great opportunities for advancement. Your two
children are proud to tell everyone that their mom has a college degree, and you know
that they will be more likely to attend college because you did.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS SITUATION: I will be VERRRRY PROUD of my
my accomplishments because it isnāt easy having kids a job and other
responsibilies. There are a lot of distractions that can hinder your main focus
in college with causes you to either drop out or not go ever semester you
may go ever other semester. I was forced into a certain situation where I had
to choose if I was going to go back to school for physician assistant or
change my field to something else that I really didnāt have any interest for. I
stuck to my plan and Iām still in school going towards my goal and thatās
graduation.
THE LESSON TO BE LEARNED: Anything is possible. It takes a lot of dedication
hard work and support from family and friends.
