This document discusses two key elements of drama: imitation and dialogue. It explains that imitation in drama involves portraying life as realistically as possible through characters interacting and telling stories. Imitation allows dramatists to mirror society from different perspectives like through tragedy and comedy. The document also defines dialogue as the conversational form used to present the entire story in drama through verbal exchanges between characters. Dialogue is designed to reveal characters and advance the plot in a clear way for audiences.
Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' belongs to the tradition of the Theatre of Absurd. It is unconventional in not depicting any dramatic conflicts. In the play, practically nothing happens, no development is to be found, there is no beginning and no end.

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.

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

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.

3. ELEMENTS OF DRAMA
• Elements of drama refer to the basic principles of drama which
you must learn first for you to fully understand and appreciate
drama both as a subject and as performance.
5. IMITATION
• Imitation means the act of copying somebody or
something. It is an act of copying the ways somebody talks
and behaves, especially to entertain.
6. IMITATION
• In literature, imitation is used to describe a realistic portrayal
of life, a reproduction of natural objects and actions.
• In drama imitation is more pronounced in performance.
• What is being imitated in drama is basically life.
7. IMITATION
• Drama tries to present life as realistically as possible on
stage. This is why we say that drama mirrors life.
8. IMITATION
Aristotle insists that imitation is part of life. He likens the
imitation in drama to the children’s play instinct.
• If you cast your minds back to your childhood experiences,
you will recall that sometimes when you were playing, one
child will say let me be the “mother” while another person
becomes the “father”.
9. IMITATION
• In some cases, they try to dress like their parents and some
of them try to talk like their parents while those who are the
children try to behave the way children are expected to
behave.
• This is imitation. The children are imitating their parents or
imitating life as it is lived in the family.
10. IMITATION
• Imitation in drama involves a story.
• For it to be drama a story must be told through dialogue as
the characters interact among themselves and that story must
have a beginning, middle and an end.
11. IMITATION
• It is different from musical presentations. Musicians in these
presentations do not imitate anybody. They may wear
costumes and act in weird manners but they are being
themselves.
12. IMITATION
• Over the ages, the attitude of dramatists on imitation differs
from one dramatist to another and from one age to another.
• Some dramatists advocate the imitation of life exactly as it is
lived, others insist on the imitation that is as close as
possible to life.
13. IMITATION
• In the imitation that is as close as possible to life, the
dramatist tries to create his characters to dress and act as
close as possible to real life.
• That explains why we have different styles of imitation both in
play-writing and acting skills.
14. IMITATION
• Imitation in drama does not claim to present a literal copy of
reality.
• This is because the truth of drama does not depend on
reproducing the world exactly as it is.
• When we say that drama is true to life we mean that it is
being false to our conventional notions of reality.
15. IMITATION
• This means that some plays present stories that we find
difficult to believe or a particular actor acts in a manner that is
unbelievable.
• Sometimes we ask ourselves if it is possible for a man to be
so wicked, insensitive and selfish that he would kill his own
mother for ritual for the acquisition of material wealth.
16. IMITATION
• In mirroring the society, each dramatist decides on a particular
perspective. When a play presents an idealized vision of the world
as a place where everything is beautiful and orderly, we call it
romance.
• On the other hand, when a play focuses on the ugly and chaotic as
it presents a debased view of life we refer to it as satire.
17. IMITATION
• Imitation in tragedy and comedy is very close to life as we
live it as they emphasize the dominant patterns of experience
that characters go through in life.
• In most comedies, the major characters begin in a state of
opposition against one another or what they stand for. As the
play progresses they get to understand one another better so
that by the end of the play they get into harmonious
relationships and the play ends on a happy note.
18. IMITATION
• The opposite is found in tragedy where the play presents a
harmonious life for the hero at the beginning. As the play
progresses, his world disintegrates and ends in catastrophe.
19. IMITATION
CONCLUSION
• The basic concept of drama is imitation. This is why we
say that drama is an imitation of life. In dramatic imitation,
we should not expect an exact reproduction of life because
drama is limited by time and space. Besides it is very
difficult even in real life for any imitation of human action to be
exactly like the original.
21. DIALOGUE
What is it?
• It is a conversation between two or more people.
• In literary works, it refers to a composition in a conversational
form.
22. DIALOGUE
• In the novel it is incorporated in the story, that is, as the story
progresses, the novelist gives two or more characters the
opportunity to discuss or comment on certain issues and the
story continues in prose form.
• However, in drama, the entire story is presented in dialogue.
• This explains why some people find it difficult to read plays
because you see the name of a character, then, what the character
says, the name of another character and the response.
23. DIALOGUE
• Dialogue could be described as a verbal interchange of thoughts
or ideas.
The Oxford Dictionary explains that dialogue involves two or more
people and could be in form of:
• Expression, conversation, talk, chat, debate, argument, exchange
of views, discussion, conference, interlocution, confabulation,
gossip, script, and lines.
24. DIALOGUE
• Dialogue is a highly specialized form of conversation that is
designed to suit various contexts and modes of drama.
• It is not exactly like everyday conversation where we adjust style
to suit the occasion and the personalities we are discussing with.
25. DIALOGUE
• It is not possible to reproduce it like that in drama. The
playwright imagines these feelings and ideas, put them
together in a more condensed form.
• This is because of the limitations of dramatic performance.
The dialogue is designed in a way that it must be heard
and understood by the audience. As a result, the continuity of
the dialogue should be marked out clearly at every point.
26. DIALOGUE
Drama is presented only in dialogue so that it should be
designed in such a way that through it, the reader or audience
must be able to infer the nature of each character, the public
and private relationship among the several characters, the past
as well as the present circumstances of the various characters.
27. DIALOGUE
CONCLUSION:
• Dialogue is a verbal communication between two or more
people and it is very important to the dramatist especially in written
plays. The story of drama is presented through the characters as
they talk to one another and relate to one another.
• Characters are revealed through dialogue. Also incidents and
events are exposed and explicated through dialogue.
