The document introduces LinguaFolio, a language portfolio that students can use to document their language skills and reflect on their learning over time. It is composed of three sections - a passport, biography, and dossier. LinguaFolio empowers students through self-assessment by providing milestones. It has been adopted by language learners in various educational settings from elementary to university levels as well as career settings.
This document discusses the history and definitions of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). It describes CALL as using computers to aid in language teaching through presentation, reinforcement, and assessment of material, with an interactive element. The origins of CALL date back to the 1960s, starting with the PLATO project at the University of Illinois in 1960. Early CALL programs presented stimuli for learners to respond to via keyboard. More recent explorative CALL uses concordance programs and data-driven learning to allow learners to explore language patterns on their own.

This document discusses measuring linguistic integration of immigrants. It notes that language is complex, involving private and public use. It recommends using multiple indicators to analyze integration, including mother tongue, language at home, in school, at work, for activities. Empirically, few immigrants abandon their mother tongue at home, with most substitutions in public spaces like school and work. Linguistic integration takes a long time. Policy can only impact public language use, and demographic factors like birth rates and migration patterns are more influential on future language composition than integration policies alone. The document concludes that linguistic integration is a slow, multidimensional process with limited ability for policies to accelerate it.
The document summarizes a project that used podcasts and multimedia messages (MMS) to provide learning opportunities for immigrant citizens in Italy and France. The project aimed to promote cultural and social integration using widely available technologies like mobile phones, MP3 players, and netbooks. Podcasts containing micro-lessons were created for students on topics like European citizenship, while parents received MMS messages. The goals were to design easy to use and familiar formats based on principles of cognitive learning theory. An experiment involved students and parents from China and North Africa in Italy and France.

Approaches to multilingualism of Esperanto speakersFederico Gobbo
The document summarizes a sociolinguistic study of the Esperanto community conducted in Italy in 2014. The study examined Esperanto speakers' awareness and practice of linguistic diversity and multilingualism based on surveys and interviews of 93 Esperanto speakers. The key findings were that Esperanto speakers strongly support multilingualism and linguistic rights. They also have an awareness of linguistic diversity, including regional and minority languages. However, the study found a lack of a clear shared understanding among Esperanto speakers about the connections between language, power, and social justice as outlined in the 1996 Prague Manifesto.
The document discusses free and open source software (FOSS) in education. It covers the history and philosophy of FOSS, defines key terms like free software and open content, and examines how organizations like ISTE and initiatives like the NETP 2010 support the use of FOSS and open educational resources in schools. It provides examples of how FOSS allows for creativity, collaboration, and developing 21st century skills as outlined by ISTE.
The Tripartite Committee, comprised of education stakeholders, met to discuss progress on the Strategic Plan for French-Language Education (PSELF). Working groups are developing communication tools and indicators for the plan's priority areas. Participants provided feedback on videos and website content promoting the plan. There was also discussion of the characteristics of French-language schools and drafting a new strategic plan for school boards. Presentations were given on programs supporting immigrant students and families to ease their integration into French-language schools and communities. The Committee agreed to pursue the idea of holding a third summit in 2017 to review progress on the Strategic Plan.

The document discusses human-machine communication (HMC) and its application to the Esperanto community. It defines HMC and explores its epistemological consequences, challenging anthropocentrism. It then provides an overview of Esperanto, describing it as a planned language with a global community of practice. Finally, it examines HMC within the Esperanto community, how ChatGPT is being used in Esperanto publications, and predicts ChatGPT-like bots will be further integrated into Esperanto teaching and use.
This document discusses the three phases of computer-assisted language learning (CALL): behavioral CALL, communicative CALL, and integrative CALL. The first phase, behavioral CALL, used repetitive drills and was based on behaviorist learning theories. The second phase, communicative CALL, focused on authentic communication in response to the communicative language teaching approach. The third and current phase, integrative CALL, utilizes multimedia and the Internet to allow for personalized learning paths through hypermedia as well as collaborative writing and access to authentic materials from around the world. The document also includes an appendix listing CALL program applications for grammar, listening, pronunciation, reading, text reconstruction, and vocabulary.

The document discusses the field of computational linguistics, defining it as the scientific study of language from a computational perspective. It involves providing computational models of linguistic phenomena and using computational techniques and linguistic theories to solve problems in natural language processing. Computational linguistics aims to automatically process and understand natural language by constructing computer programs. The field has its roots in the 1940s-1950s with the development of code breaking machines and computers. Major conferences and journals in the field are associated with the Association for Computational Linguistics.
This document provides an overview of diversity in Europe through examining immigrant and minority populations across various countries. It presents data on the size and composition of migrant and native minority groups for countries that have experienced immigration since the 1950s/1960s or after 1989. Tables show the largest immigrant populations and native minorities for countries like Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, UK, Greece, Ireland, and Italy. The purpose is to demonstrate that European countries contain much internal diversity, both from migration and native minority populations like Roma.

Which of the latest trends in foreign language pedagogy have filtered into the teaching of Italian? Is Italian keeping pace with task-based learning, authentic learning, educational technology, theories in second language acquisition and those of learner autonomy and active and discovery learning? What are your teaching and learning objectives and which best practices do you implement to achieve them? This interactive presentation will highlight some current tendencies in SLA and envisage future directions for teaching Italian.
This document discusses the history and phases of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). It describes three phases: behavioral CALL from the 1950s-1970s focused on drill-based practice; communicative CALL from the 1970s-1980s emphasized authentic communication; and integrative CALL from the 1990s onward combined multimedia like text, graphics, sound and video to more authentically integrate skills. The document also discusses how computer-mediated communication and the internet, particularly the World Wide Web, facilitated collaborative writing and access to authentic materials. Finally, it briefly outlines the role of information and communication technologies in international development efforts according to the World Summit on the Information Society, and some challenges to ICT adoption like various digital divides.

This document summarizes a training model on sexual violence in universities that was developed by two universities.
The training is divided into multiple sessions that use fictional cases, group discussions, and exercises to: 1) explore how sexual violence manifests and is perceived in university settings, 2) analyze power dynamics and definitions of sexual violence, 3) practice active listening skills, and 4) identify services and strategies for responding to incidents.
Participants analyze cases through an intersectional lens considering gender, sexuality, ability and other factors. Definitions of sexual violence are discussed critically. Role plays help understand disclosure experiences and difficulties in listening without judgment. The training aims to empower individual and institutional responses to sexual violence on campuses.
The Centre MARTA works to combat sexual violence and promote gender equality in Latvian society. It was established in 2000 through cooperation between Swedish and Latvian women's organizations. The Centre provides psychological, social, and legal support to vulnerable women in Latvia. Its mission is the elimination of violence against women and advancement of women's rights. There remains social taboos around sexuality and intimacy in Latvia. The Centre is conducting research and actions to increase awareness of sexual violence prevention through activities like boys' clubs and public discussions. Plans include using the USVreact program in the Latvian context, including gathering student and teacher perspectives to strengthen the Centre's work and potential collaboration with universities.
The document summarizes training programs developed at three UK universities - Sussex, York, and Brunel - to educate staff on responding to and supporting students who have experienced sexual violence. It describes the development and content of the programs, facilitation approaches, and positive responses and impacts, including significant changes in staff understanding and requests for additional sessions. Recommendations include updating policies, procedures, and care pathways to better support victims.
This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to students at Turin University in Italy regarding their views on behaviors that could constitute gender violence. 4027 students responded to an initial questionnaire listing various behaviors and indicating which they would define as violence. Their most common selections were someone making you afraid of poor treatment if not cooperating sexually (98%) and someone attempting a romantic relationship despite discouragement (81.6%). Participants in a training program on gender violence then took the same questionnaire before and after the training. After the training, they were more likely to identify more of the behaviors as violent, such as offensive jokes or stories (increase from 23.8% to 55.1% defined as violence).
The document summarizes the experience of providing training on sexual violence at Greek universities. It notes that sexual violence is often not reported due to fears of blame, and there are no formal university frameworks or counseling services to address it. The initial training model involved mixed gender groups to discuss definitions, Greek legislation, and experiences. Feedback was positive, with many students and staff unaware of issues and asking for more training. However, some male participants resisted definitions and struggled to identify subtler forms of violence. Participants felt that ongoing training was needed to fully address problems of sexual violence at universities.
This document discusses training provided to staff at the University of York to respond to disclosures of sexual violence. It provides background on research showing the prevalence of sexual harassment and violence against students in UK higher education. It then details the objectives, delivery, evaluation and impact of the training provided at the University of York to equip staff with knowledge on sexual violence and how to support survivors. The training resulted in improved understanding and institutional changes like a revised policy and new reporting systems.
The document discusses sexual violence against women in Italy and the university context. It provides data showing that 31% of Italian women experience some form of violence in their lifetime. At universities, services exist to help victims, but awareness of these services and the issue of subtle forms of violence is still lacking. The University of Turin aims to improve coordination between support services and offer training to maintain sensitivity around these important issues.
The document discusses the context surrounding efforts to address sexual violence (SV) at the University of the Basque Country. It notes the following:
1) The national legal context in Spain provides a framework focused on gender-based and partner violence but has limitations in addressing all SV situations. Administrative diversity in Spain also creates tensions between different regulations.
2) There is a growing cultural concern about SV that has made it easier to include SV training and issues in the university's protocol revision.
3) At the University of the Basque Country specifically, factors like campus life, the Equality Office, associative presence, university size, and existing protocol are part of the institutional context regarding efforts to address SV.
The document summarizes sexual violence training conducted at Panteion University in Athens. It notes that the university previously had no formal policies against sexual violence, care for victims, or psychological support services. The training involved 80 participants, mostly women, and received positive evaluations. Trainees reported that the mixed cohorts and experiential aspects of the training were helpful. The research team is advocating for wider discussion among Greek universities and inclusion of awareness training in undergraduate programs.
This document discusses changing campus cultures to better support equality and prevent violence. A panel of four professors from Spain, Greece, Italy, and the UK will discuss how to create more open and supportive spaces for survivors on campus. Specifically, they will address issues like how to better apply protocols against sexual harassment, the prevalence of rape myths among university students, obstacles created by focusing on public issues over private ones, and how to enact cultural change in market-driven universities. The panel will consider questions about reducing acceptance of rape myths, examining beliefs among colleagues, refocusing on personal issues, and changing institutional cultures.
The document summarizes research conducted with university students in Turin, Italy to measure their acceptance of rape myths and bystander efficacy in preventing violence. Over 4,000 students completed online questionnaires assessing their agreement with statements reflecting common rape myths organized in four factors - "She asked for it", "He didn't mean to", "It wasn't really rape", and "She lied". Students reported moderate levels of agreement with some myths. A separate scale measured students' confidence in taking actions to prevent violence as bystanders, finding higher efficacy for direct actions versus more ambiguous situations. Correlations showed rape myth acceptance was positively associated with viewing women as responsible for sexual assault. The research aims to understand rape myth sharing and ways to reduce
Ruth Lewis is affiliated with Northumbria University. Northumbria University is located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England and was established in 1969. It has over 30,000 students and specializes in subjects like engineering, design, computing and business.
The document discusses good practices for supporting university students who disclose experiences of sexual violence. It provides recommendations for listening without judgment, helping the student process their thoughts and options, and connecting them to support resources. However, it notes that few students actually report such experiences to universities or support organizations. At the Public University of Navarre in Spain, the Equality Unit and new protocol on harassment aim to establish practices for prevention, but challenges remain in fully implementing and publicizing the protocol. Trained professionals, confidential spaces, coordination, and awareness efforts could help students disclose and receive support.
This document discusses protocols for supporting student disclosure of sexual violence at universities. It notes that having clear protocols can help acknowledge the problem, create more awareness, and provide support structures for victims. However, implementation of protocols often faces challenges, such as slow procedures, lack of real sanctions, and failure to make meaningful changes. Critics argue protocols can homogenize different forms of violence and exclude issues not covered. Overall, the document stresses the need for a broader political approach that goes beyond just institutional frameworks.

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.
