The poem describes a traveler coming to a fork in the road in a yellow wood, where two paths diverge. The traveler cannot take both paths and stands for a long time trying to decide which to take. One path seems more worn but the other claims to be just as fair. In the end, the traveler chooses the less traveled path, knowing one choice may lead to another, and doubts being able to return. The traveler predicts telling this decision in the future, noting that taking the less used road made all the difference.

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.
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.

2. Literal vs. Figurative
Language
• Literal Language – You say
exactly what you mean. You
make no comparison, and you
do not exaggerate or
understate the situation.
3. • Figurative Language – You
DON’T say exactly what you
mean. You DO compare,
exaggerate, and understate
the situation. You use similes,
metaphors, hyperboles, and
other figures of speech to
make your writing more
exciting.
4. Literal or Figurative???
1. Grant always turns in his homework.
2. The water was rising in the river because of
the rain.

at night.
4. When she sings her voice is like velvet.

7. Seven Types of
Figurative Language
• Simile
• Hyperbole
• Alliteration
• Metaphor
• Personification
• Onomatopoeia
• Oxymoron
8. Simile
• comparing two unlike things using the
words “like” or “as”.
Her eyes were like stars.
Susan is as gentle as a
kitten.
9. Hyperbole
• an exaggeration so dramatic, no one
could believe it; overstate to
emphasize a point.
This bag weighs a ton!
I’ve told you a million
times to clean up your
room!
10. Alliteration
• the repeating of the same letter or
sound, especially consonant
sounds….including tongue twisters.
Miss Warren was worried
when Wendy was waiting.
Rubber baby buggy bumpers.
Peter Piper picked a peck of
pickled peppers.
11. Alliteration in Poetry
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”
“Let us fly,” said the flea;
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
12. Metaphor
• comparing two unlike things without
using like or as. Calling one thing,
another. Saying one thing is
something else.
He’s a lion when he fights.
Her eyes were sparkling
emeralds.
My love is a red, red
rose.
13. Personification
• giving human characteristics to
things that are not human.

imitate a natural sound made by an

23. The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
by Robert Frost 1874 - 1963
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
