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.

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 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.

Every mood and
verb tense in French. Note
that the moods are across
the top and the tenses
are listed top to bottom,
with the present tense
in the center.
See the website listed
at the bottom right for an
interactive version of this
chart, where you can click
each tense/mood for an
explanation of how it
is used.
In the next slide, you will
see the tenses/moods
we have learned this
semester.
4. Infinitive
The infinitive is simply an unconjugated verb. See
below for some examples of infinitives:
parler
aller
être
se lever
voir
prendre
The infinitive translates as “to…”. To speak, to go, to
be, to get up, to see, to take.
For more info, go here:
http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/infinitive.htm
6. Present (indicative)
This is the most commonly used and the first tense you
learn in French. There are many types of verbs
conjugated in the present tense.
Regular Verbs. Drop the infinitive ending and add the
following endings:
-er -ir -re
je -e -is -s
tu -es -is -s
il/elle/on -e -it -
nous -ons -issons -ons
vous -ez -issez -ez
ils/elles -ent -issent -ent
7. Present (indicative), continued
Quiz:
Conjugate the verbs parler, choisir, and descendre and
check your work using this online conjugator:
http://www.wordreference.com/conj/FRverbs.aspx.
Be sure you also know how to conjugate –ger and –cer
verbs (which are not strictly irregular, but they do
have spelling changes).
Some important irregular verbs: être, avoir, aller, faire,
prendre, pouvoir, vouloir, devoir, mettre, lire,
écrire, venir, savoir, connaître, sortir, dormir,
suivre. Test your ability to conjugate these verbs and
then verify your work using the conjugator linked
above.
8. Pronominal Verbs (in present tense)
These verbs require an extra set of pronouns.
se lever
je me lève
tu te lèves
il se lève
nous nous levons
vous vous levez
ils se lèvent
9. Present participle
This is a verb form ending in –ant. Start with the “nous” form of the verb in the present tense,
then drop the –ons and add –ant. Three irregulars: étant, ayant, sachant. This verb form
is often used with the preposition en.
• The French present participle can never be used to talk about what someone is doing. The
construction "je suis mangeant" (the literal translation of "I am eating") simply does not
exist in French - you must use the present tense: je mange. To emphasize the ongoing
nature of an activity, you can use the French expression être en train de: je suis en train de
manger - "I'm eating (right now).
• The French present participle cannot be used after another verb. "J'aime lisant"does not
exist; to say "I like reading," you must use the infinitive: j'aime lire.
• The English usage of the present participle as a noun indicating an activity, as in "Seeing is
believing," is another case in which the French translation requires the infinitive: Voir,
c'est croire. Sometimes you can just use a noun; to translate "Reading is fun," you have
two options: Lire est un plaisir, La lecture est un plaisir.
• As a verb or gerund, the present participle is invariable, except in the case of pronominal
verbs, which keep the appropriate reflexive pronoun in front of the present participle: me
coiffant (doing my hair), en nous levant (upon [us] getting up), etc.
For more information, see this website:
http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/presentparticiple.htm
10. Passé composé: past participle
How to form the past participle? Drop the infinitive ending and
add:
ER é parler parlé
IR i choisir choisi
RE u vendre vendu
But, of course, there are several verbs with irregular past
participles:
être: été ouvrir: ouvert croire: cru
vouloir: voulu mourir: mort(e) recevoir: reçu
venir: venu(e) avoir: eu pouvoir: pu
voir: vu boire: bu offrir: offert
mettre: mis devoir: dû faire: fait
naître: né(e) prendre: pris
11. Compound past AKA passé composé
The passé composé is the most common past tense in
French. It is used to express actions that were
completed in the past. It is formed in two different
ways. Most verbs take avoir in the passé composé.
Examples: j’ai parlé, elle a dansé, nous avons mangé
Two kinds of verbs are conjugated with être in the
passé composé: 1) pronominal verbs and 2) DR MR
VANDERTRAMPPS. *With these verbs, the past
participle must match the subject in gender and in
number.*
12. Pronominal verbs in the passé composé
se lever
je me suis levé(e) nous nous sommes levé(e)s
tu t’es levé(e) vous vous êtes levé(e)(s)(es)
il s’est levé ils se sont levés
elle s’est levée elles se sont levées
on s’est levé
13. DR & MR VANDERTRAMPPS
Devenir
Rester
&
Mourir
Rentrer
Venir
Arriver
Naître
Descendre
Entrer
Revenir
Tomber
Retourner
Aller
Monter
Partir
Passer
Sortir
14. Imperfect AKA imparfait (indicative)
The imperfect is the other common past tense. It is used
to express habitual actions, states of being, emotions,
descriptions, and background information.
The imperfect is very easy to form. Start with the nous
form of every single verb except être. Drop the –ons
and add the following endings:
-ais *être uses this as a stem: ét
-ais (then add the regular endings)
-ait *remember that verbs like étudier,
-ions manger, and commencer have
-iez spelling changes (examples: nous
-aient étudiions, je mangeais, je
commençais)
15. Imparfait vs. Passé composé
Generally speaking, the imperfect describes past
situations, while the passé composé narrates
specific events. In addition, the imperfect can
set the stage for an event expressed with the
passé composé.
For more info, see the following pages in the
textbook: 226-227, 285, 395, 397-398.
Some verbs change meanings in the imparfait vs.
the passé composé. See p. 395 for more on
this.
For more info, see also this site: http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/pasttenses_2.htm
16. Future (indicative)
The future tense is used to express what will happen. It
is easy to form. Begin with the infinitive, which for
most verbs is the future stem. For regular –re verbs,
drop the “e.” The stem always ends in “r.”
Irregular stems: ir-, ser-, fer-, aur-, saur-, pourr-,
devr-, recevr-, viendr-, voudr-, verr-, enverr-
Then add the endings:
-ai For more info, including
-as some words that require
-a the use of the future,
-ons see pp. 314-316 in the
-ez textbook.
-ont
17. Conditional=Future stem + imperfect endings
The conditional is used for politeness and for
hypothetical situations and is best translated as
“would” + verb. This mood is formed in almost the
same way as the future tense. In fact, use the future
stem, which for most verbs is the infinitive. For –re
verbs, drop the “e.”
Irregular stems: ir-, ser-, fer-, aur-, saur-, pourr-,
devr-, recevr-, viendr-, voudr-, verr-, enverr-
Then add the imperfect endings:
-ais For more info, see pp. 367-
-ais 368 in the textbook.
-ait
-ions
-iez
-aient
18. Imperative (present)
There are command forms for tu, vous, and nous. First,
drop the subject from the verb. Then, for all –er
verbs, drop the “s” in the tu form (exception: vas-y!).
Parle! Ne parle pas!
Parlez! Ne parlez pas!
Parlons! Ne parlons pas!
Irregulars:
être avoir savoir
sois aie sache
soyez ayez sachez
soyons ayons sachons
For more information, see pp. 372-373 in the textbook.
19. Subjunctive (present)
The subjunctive mood is used to express actions or ideas which
are subjective or otherwise uncertain: will/wanting, emotion,
doubt, possibility, necessity, judgment. It is nearly always
found in dependent clauses introduced by que, and the subjects
of the dependent and main clauses are usually different.
Some expressions that require the subjunctive:
il faut que il est essentiel que
il est important que il est indispensable que
il vaut mieux que il est nécessaire que
il a fallu que vouloir que
demander que désirer que
exiger que préférer que
aimer que proposer que
souhaiter que suggérer que
See pp. 335-339 and 393-294 in the textbook for more information. This link also has a handy
resource: http://french.about.com/library/verb/bl-subjunctivator.htm
20. Subjunctive (present), continued
To form the subjunctive for regular verbs, begin with
the ils/elles form in present indicative.
ils parlent then drop the –ent and add the subjunctive
endings:
-e irregular subjunctive
-es stems: fass-, aill-(all-),
-e boiv-(buv-), prenn-(pren-),
-ions puiss-, sach-, ven-(vienn-)
-iez Completely irregular:
-ent avoir être
j’aie
tu aies
il ait
nous ayons
vous ayez
elles aient
je sois
tu sois
il soit
nous soyons
vous soyez
elles soient
