This document discusses instructional materials and media used in language teaching. It defines instructional materials as anything used by teachers or learners to facilitate language learning, including textbooks, videos, and tasks. Materials should stimulate learning and represent effective language learning. The document also defines instructional media as channels of transmitting content, like technologies, and notes media can engage learners, save time, and reinforce concepts if designed and used properly. The functions of materials and role of media in language teaching are described. Interactive learning using media is emphasized, as it leads to active involvement and makes teaching more engaging.

Communicative Language Teaching is the cornerstone for approaches that have shifted from a grammar-based language view to a functional view of language where communication is the main objective. Such approaches are CBI (Content-based instruction) and TBI (Task-based instruction). Today, both CBI and TBI are the leading approaches most teachers are currently using to teach a second/foreign language around the world. Both approaches have been proven to be effective, and the most important thing is that students are truly learning to use language to communicate their ideas to different audiences.

Running Head: SERVICE LEARNING 1
PAPER 30
The Perception of Educators on Service Learning for High School Students
Student’s Name:
Institution:
Numerous studies examine the perception of educators on service learning for high school students. According to a study done by Schine (2016) service learning has become popular in modern day society among educators of high school students. The study postulates service learning as knowledge base for teachers, which is regarded as systematic and effective in designing effective teaching with the aim of achieving certain set goals, is the formal empirical research on teaching effectiveness. This goes hand in hand with the realizing of learning goals. Schine (2016) conceptualized the teacher knowledge and proposed four aspects which are: General pedagogical knowledge in which the teacher understands how to moderate discussions of students, how to design group works, how to organize material for the students and how to utilize texts and other sources used in teaching. Further, content knowledge which includes the understanding of a domain’s concepts, theories, principles,classic problems as well as explanatory concepts that bring the major ideas together. Pedagogical knowledge which is mainly based on the knowledge of the types of ideas necessary for learners of different ages to analyze, knowledge of ideas that are required for students’ understanding of a target area. It also imbibes skills to be able to bring students to a reasoning process where they are able to solve problems and noting differences and similarities and disciplinary knowledge which includes the understanding of methods and theories applied in class and the relationship that they have.
According to Amtmann (2014), well grounded knowledge base is vital for an intelligent actor, in this instance, an intelligent teacher. Decisions in class should be made on a well grounded knowledge base and this helps the teacher to be able to take control of the various circumstances in class. The knowledge base of teaching involves the required cognitive knowledge for creating operative teaching and learning environments. This is crucial because it focuses on the mechanisms that explain how comprehension of information and knowledge gained in classrooms can be put into good use of the society through identification of the channels through which the information can be used for the betterment of the society.
According to Ball (2018), the instructional design approach hypothesizes education as a decision-oriented or prescriptive engineering science particularly aimed at achieving practical educational ends in efficient ways. Education in this instance is viewed as a system that is built by many elements. The researche.
Instructional Materials Development & Evaluation-PPT-1.pptxJustinEmbalzado
Instructional materials development (IMD) and evaluation are intertwined processes crucial for effective learning. This vast subject encompasses various aspects, and providing a truly exhaustive description would be monumental.
Remember, IMD and evaluation are iterative processes. By focusing on effective development, rigorous evaluation, and continuous improvement, you can create high-quality instructional materials that support meaningful learning for diverse audiences.
Anchored instruction is an educational concept that was introduced by John Bransford and his colleagues in the 1980s. It is an instructional approach that uses realistic and complex problems or "anchor situations" to engage learners in meaningful and authentic learning experiences. The anchor situation serves as a central theme or context around which various learning activities and materials are organized.The idea behind anchored instruction is to immerse learners in a context that reflects real-world problems, making the learning experience more relevant and engaging. The anchor situation typically involves a narrative or scenario that presents a problem or challenge that requires the application of knowledge and skills.
Key features of anchored instruction include:
1. Authenticity: The anchor situation is designed to mirror real-world problems or situations, making the learning experience more meaningful for learners.
2. Integration of Knowledge and Skills: Anchored instruction often requires the integration of various disciplines and skills to solve the problems presented in the anchor situation. This interdisciplinary approach helps learners see the connections between different subjects.
3. Problem-Based Learning (PBL): The anchor situation typically presents a problem or challenge that learner need to solve. This aligns with the principles of problem-based learning, where students actively engage in solving real-world problems.
4. Constructivist Approach: Anchored instruction aligns with constructivist theories of learning, emphasizing the importance of learners actively constructing their own understanding through authentic experiences.
5. Collaborative Learning: Many anchored instruction activities encourage collaboration among learners. Working together on problem-solving tasks promotes social interaction and the sharing of diverse perspectives.
Anchored instruction is often used in technology-rich environments, where multimedia resources, such as videos, simulations, and interactive software, can be integrated to enhance the learning experience. The approach is particularly popular in science and mathematics education, but it can be adapted for various subjects and educational levels.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

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.

2. Instructional Material and Media and Its Function
A. Instructional Material
Instructional material refers to anything
which is used by teachers or learners to
facilitate the learning of a language.
3. Materials could obviously be cassettes, videos,
CD-Roms, dictionaries, grammar books,
readers, workbooks or photocopied
exercises.
They could also be newspapers, food
packages, photographs, live talks by invited
native speakers, instructions given by a teacher,
tasks written on cards or discussions
between learners.
4. In other words, they can be
anything which is deliberately
used to increase the learners’
knowledge and/or experience.
5. Keeping this pragmatic concept of materials
in mind can help materials developers to
utilise as many sources of input as possible
and, even more importantly, can help
teachers to realise that they are also material
developers and that they are ultimately
responsible for the materials that their
learners use.
6. Instructional material control the
learning and teaching, because
those materials determine the
components and method of
learning; they control the content, the
method, and procedures of learning.
7. In many cases, instructional materials
are the center of instruction and one
of the most important influences on
what goes on in the classroom.
8. B. Materials Development
Materials development refers to anything
which is done by writers, teachers or learners
to provide sources of language input and to
exploit those sources in ways which maximise
the likelihood of intake: in other words the
supplying of information about and/or
experience of the language in ways designed
to promote language learning.
9. Materials developers might write
textbooks, tell stories, bring
advertisements into the classroom,
express an opinion, provide samples
of language use or read a poem
aloud.
10. Whatever they do to provide
input they do so in principled
ways related to what they know
about how languages can be
effectively learned.
11. C. The Function of Instructional
Materials
There are five functions what materials suppose
to do. They should:
1. Act as a stimulus to learning (e.g. texts are
interesting; there are opportunities for learners
to use their existing knowledge and skills; both
teacher and learners can cope with the
content);
12. 2. Help to organize the teaching learning
process
(e.g there should be a clear and coherent
structure which helps the teacher to plan
lessons and learners to feel a sense of
progress and achievement, but the
structure should not be so rigid that
monotony results.
13. 3. Embody a view of the nature of teaching
and learning (i.e. reflects the beliefs of the writer)
4. Reflect the nature of the learning task – in this
case, language learning (i.e. represent the
complexity of language learning but also its
manage ability)
5. Provide models of correct and appropriate
language use.
14. D. Instructional Media
A medium (plural media) is a channel
of communication, derived from the
Latin word meaning “between”. The
term refers to anything that carries
information between a source and a
receiver. Definition of media focus on
use of technologies plus concepts and
contexts.
15. Medias are the means for
transmitting or delivering messages
and in teaching-learning perspective
delivering content to the learners,
to achieve effective instruction.
16. Instructional media for learning-
teaching process provide with the
tools to engage learners powerfully in
the learning process.
It greatly enhance the effectiveness of
communication.
17. If it is properly designed, skillfully produced and
effectively used have great influence on teaching
& learning because it produces impact of:
• Save time
• Increase interest
• Hold attention
• Clarify ideas
• Reinforce concepts
• Add tone
• Prove a point
• Aid memory
18. Media can be used effectively
in formal situation where students are
working independently or teacher is
working with other group of students.
19. Media play a significant role in the
education of students with exceptionalities
children with disabilities in particular need
special instructional treatment which is
supplemented with adaptation and
specially designed media for effective
instruction of such students.
20. The most common use of media in
an instructional situation is for
supplemental support of the
instructor in the classroom to
enhance learning.
21. Every application of media is
somewhat unique, but in any case
it must be guided by both general
principles of learning and the
context in which these principles
are employed.
22. For the instructional use of media
programs are designed intentionally
to make the teaching-learning
environment more interesting and
effective.
23. E. The Function of media in Language
Teaching
The impact use of media may increase by applying
the following principles
Select material with appropriate attributes
Introduce material to learner by relating it to prior
learning and indicating its relationship to present
objectives
Present material under the best possible
environmental conditions.
Get feedback from viewers/learners.
Evaluate interial impact.
24. A teacher can make more
effective use of media if he/she
understand underlying
concepts about teaching-
learning process.
25. Behaviorists stress external control
over a learner’s behavior, so
specify behavioral (performance)
objectives; instructional design
and media are highly structured.
26. While cognitivists stress internal or
learner control over mental process,
so specify cognitive objectives, allow
learners to employ their own
cognitive strategies. Instructional
design and media is less structured.
27. Teaching and learning are considered
complex processes, influenced by
different multiple factors, including use of
media or instructional aids, which results
active involvement of learners and makes
teaching more interactive.
28. The importance of interactive learning or academic
engagement is reflected from the following quote from Killen
Roy.
“Instructional activities must be arranged so that
students have appropriate opportunities to engage
in meaningful learning (as opposed to rote learning).
Academic engagement will be evident when
students are on task, focused on important issues
and consciously striving to learn. Students need to
be seriously engaged in learning in order to achieve
deep understanding. Academic engagement is
closely linked to students commitment and
motivation and to the nature of interactions within
classroom social systems”.
29. In order to make the learning experiences
of the learners more concrete and
realistic, teachers has to use and prepare
specific teaching materials. These
instructional gadgets help teachers to
clarify, establish and correlate concepts
of learners
30. It also helps to teach abstract concepts in a
meaningful way
“Teaching aids certainly amplify teacher effortful
presentation more into influencing instructions. The
use of variety of teaching aids has successfully
transformed most classrooms from traditional setup,
where teachers do most of the talking and
students are passive listeners, into participatory
learning centers facilitating productive learning”.
