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.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. 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.
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.

14. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "Listening to our students share explanations of their selection systems helps us as teachers assess children's understanding of how to choose books and whether that understanding is developing in depth and breadth." (Olhausen & Jepsen, 1992) "In order to help children discover and practice ways of becoming independent learners in these real classrooms, we believe that teachers need to provide occasions for authentic literacy experiences to occur." (Olhausen & Jepsen, 1992)
15. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "When think-alouds were exercised as a teaching approach within the classroom, they became routine, were used as needed in a variety of real situations, and were broken down with clear details and steps (Duffy, 2003). Students thought about their own thinking process, slowing it down in order to make decisions as readers and learners." (Wutz & Wedwick, 2005)
16. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "The data consistently revealed that children place a high priority on reading books they hear about from others--friends, parents, and teachers. The interviews support the findings of other researchers who have suggested that social interaction is a primary factor in literacy development (Guthrie et al., 1993)." (Palmer & Codling, 1994)
17. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "Although teachers and family were mentioned, the children most frequently responded that they had found out about books they wanted to read from their friends. This finding supports the fact that children are motivated to read by sharing books with one another." (Edmunds & Bauserman, 2006)
18. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "The real link seems to lie in the verbal interaction that occurs between adult and child during story reading (Snow 1996). Since children learn language by actively constructing meaning (Vgotsky 1962; Lindfors 1987), the seeds of literacy lie in the social construction of meaning around print, that is, the talk—“scaffolding,” explaining, clarifying—between the reader and child listener as they look at, point to, and label objects, and discuss print and its meaning. Successful storybook reading that leads to literacy involves interaction in which participants actively construct meaning based on the text (Fox 1993; Heath 1983; Ninio 1980; Teale and Sulzby 1992)." (Cullinan, 2000)
19. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "...all pupils can be taken forward in their reading habits and understanding if they are encouraged to take a critical perspective on their own reading diet, and if they are helped to see how as readers they are constructed by the culture. This might happen, for instance, if pupils were asked to reflect on how they had come to have the tastes they have, or if there was more discussion in classrooms about how children might negotiate their own paths through the consumerism or the ethical issues that are raised in and by their magazines." (Coles & Hall, 2002)
20. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "Nearly all the children mentioned factors in the socialties facet during book selection." (Reuter,2007)
21. Support: Conversation The common thread among research Quotes to support conversation: "Based on the information, we can help our students make thoughtful choices by * talking to our students about how they choose their books. Students need to be aware of the choices they are making and why they are making those choices, if they are going to make thoughtful choices. * discussing things that can influence book choices. Make sure that our students know what is available to help them make book choices. They need to know what the blurb is and where they can find it. They need to know what kind of information is available on the book cover. * providing more opportunities to discuss books in the classroom. As students have more chances to talk about books, we hope they will be more likely to be influenced by the opinions of others." (Greaney, 1999)
