Introduction into the roles of course books in the classroom, the advantages and disadvantages of their use, and how to evaluate and adapt course books to a specific teaching-learning context.
Role and importance of language in the curriculumAbu Bashar
The language is always believed to play a central role in learning. No matter what the subject area, students assimilate new concepts when they listen, talk, read and write about what they are learning. Speaking and writing reflects the thinking process that is taking place. Students learn in language, therefore if their language is weak, so is their learning.
It is prepared to understand the basic concepts of syllabus, curriculum and types of curriculum construction. Teacher needs to add in the presentation before use.

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.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

2. Textbook Evaluation
The Role of Textbooks in the EFL/ESL
Classroom:
A course book could be defined as:
1/ “…a textbook which is meant to provide the
core materials for a course. It aims to provide
as much as possible in one book and is
designed so that it could serve as the only
book learners necessarily use during a
course”
3. 2/ "The textbook is an almost universal
element of [English language] teaching.
Millions of copies are sold every year, and
numerous aid projects have been set up to
produce them in [various] countries…No
teaching-learning situation, it seems, is
complete until it has its relevant textbook. "
4. Advantages of textbooks:
Textbooks do not only represent the visible
heart of any ELT program, but also offer
considerable advantages - for both the
student and the teacher - when they are
being used in the ESL/EFL classroom.
They have the following advantages:
5. Advantages of textbooks:
1/ One of the primary advantages of using
textbooks is that they are psychologically
essential for students since their progress
and
achievement can be measured concretely
when we use them.
6. Advantages of textbooks:
2/ Students often keep in mind expectations
about using a textbook in their particular
language classroom and program and
believe that published materials have more
credibility than teacher-generated or "in-
house" materials.
7. Advantages of textbooks:
3/ Textbooks are generally sensitive to
students' needs, even if they are not
designed specifically for them, they are
efficient in terms of time and money, and they
can and should allow for adaptation and
improvisation.
improvise
v. (improvises, improvising, improvised)
1. invent and perform (music, drama, or poetry) on the spur of the moment.
2. make from whatever is available.
8. Advantages of textbooks:
4/ Textbooks are economical- relatively
inexpensive and involve low lesson
preparation time, whereas teacher-generated
materials can be time consuming and quality
defective.
9. Advantages of textbooks:
5/ They are potential for serving several
additional roles in the ELT curriculum:
(a) They are an effective resource for self-
directed learning;
(b) an effective resource for presentation
material;
(c) a source of ideas and activities;
10. Advantages of textbooks:
(d) a reference source for students;
(e) a syllabus where they reflect pre-
determined learning objectives,
(f) and support for less experienced teachers
who have yet to gain in confidence.
11. Disadvantages of Textbooks
There are many researchers and practitioners
who are not in favor of textbooks, and
propose the following disadvantages:
12. 1/ Textbooks are too inflexible and generally
reflect the pedagogic, psychological, and
linguistic preferences and biases of their
authors. Textbooks essentially determine and
control the methods, processes and
procedures of language teaching and
learning.
Disadvantages of Textbooks
13. 2/ More recent authors have criticized
textbooks for their inherent social and cultural
biases. Researchers have demonstrated that
many EFL/ESL textbooks still contain
rampant examples of gender bias, sexism,
and stereotyping.
Disadvantages of Textbooks
14. 3/ Other theorists have focused on the use of
the target language culture as a vehicle for
teaching the language in textbooks and
suggest that it is not really possible to teach a
language without embedding it in its cultural
base.
Disadvantages of Textbooks
15. 4/ They are actually too contrived and
artificial in their presentation of the target
language. They argue that it is crucial to
introduce learners to the fundamental
characteristics of authentic real life examples
of both spoken and written discourse.
Disadvantages of Textbooks
16. 5/ A final reason for disappointment with
many ELT textbooks is the fact that they are
often regarded as the "…tainted end-product
of an author's or a publisher's desire for quick
profit").
taint
n.
a trace of an undesirable quality or substance.
v.
1. make impure.
2. affect with an undesirable quality:
Disadvantages of Textbooks
17. Too many textbooks are often marketed with
grand artificial claims by their authors and
publishers yet these same books tend to
contain serious theoretical problems, design
flaws, and practical shortcomings.
flaw
n.
1. a mark or fault that spoils something.
2. a weakness or mistake.
v.
spoil or weaken.
Disadvantages of Textbooks
18. Reasons for Textbook Evaluation
1/ A thorough evaluation would enable the
administrative and teaching staff of a specific
institution or organization to discriminate
between all of the available textbooks on the
market .
19. Reasons for Textbook Evaluation
2/ Textbook evaluation would provide a sense
of familiarity with a book's content thus
assisting educators in identifying the
particular strengths and weaknesses in
textbooks already in use.
20. Reasons for Textbook Evaluation
This would go a long way in ultimately
assisting teachers with making optimum use
of a book's strong points and recognizing the
shortcomings of certain exercises, tasks, and
entire texts.
optimum
adj.
most likely to lead to a favourable outcome:
21. Reasons for Textbook Evaluation
3/ One additional reason for textbook
evaluation is the fact that it can be very useful
in teacher development and professional
growth.
22. Reasons for Textbook Evaluation
Textbook evaluation helps teachers move
beyond impressionistic assessments and it
helps them to acquire useful, accurate,
systematic, and contextual insights into the
overall nature of textbook material
