This document discusses functional grammar and the functional-notional approach to language teaching. It explains that functional grammar analyzes how language is used in communication. The functional-notional approach categorizes language based on communicative functions like requesting and notions like time and location. It provides examples of functions like greeting and notions like the body. Situations, exponents, codes, and categories of language like personal, directive, and referential are also defined. The document concludes that the functional-notional approach emphasizes teaching language for communicative purposes and analyzing learner needs.
Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT), also known as task-based instruction (TBI), focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language. Such tasks can include visiting a doctor, conducting an interview, or calling customer service for help.

This is a copy of my presentation of "Why Formal links are not Enough" that was based from the resources provided by the school.
Some data from the slides was also taken from Discourse_Analysis_Unit_II_ 2013.pdf (lenguasvivas.org)
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.

Values Formation and You
To be moral is to be human. Living by the right values humanizes.
“Is there such thing as RIGHT, UNCHANGING and UNIVERSAL values?”
Is the right value for me the right value for you? Are the values that we, Filipinos consider as right also considered by the Japanese, the Americans, or the Spaniards as right values? Or are values dependent on time, place, and culture? There are two varied answers depending on the camp where you belong.
Idealist Point of View
There are unchanging and universal values.
The values of love, care, and concern for our fellowmen are values for all people regardless of time and space.
These are called transcendent values
Transcendent because they are beyond changing times, beyond space and people. They remain to be a value even if no one values them. They are accepted as value everywhere.
Relativist Point of View
Claim that there are no universal and unchanging values. They assert that values are dependent on time and place.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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. OBJECTIVE
The main objective of a functional grammar is to
explain language in terms of what people do with
it, how they use the language to live.
3. Functional-Notional Approach to
Language teaching/learning
describe language to an analysis of the communicative
meanings that learners would need in order to express
themselves and to understand effectively.
It showed how language could be categorised on the
basis of notions such as quantity, location and time, and
functions such as making requests, making offers and
apologising.
4. Explanation of specific terms:
Notions are meaning elements that may be expressed
through nouns, pronouns, verbs, prepositions,
conjunctions, adjectives or adverbs.
A notion is a concept, or idea: it may be quite specific, in
which case it is virtually the same as vocabulary (dog,
house, for example); or it may be very general – time,
size, emotion, movement – in which case it often overlaps
with the concept of “topics”.
5. A notion may be “time past”; this may include past
tenses, phrases like a month ago, in 1990, last week, and
utterances using temporal clauses beginning
with when….., before…., after…. and so on;
12. Functional Categories of Language
Personal
Clarifying or arranging one’s ideas; expressing one’s
thoughts or feelings:
love, joy, pleasure, happiness, surprise, likes,
satisfaction, dislikes, disappointment, distress, pain,
anger, anguish, fear, anxiety, sorrow, frustration,
annoyance at missed opportunities, moral, intellectual
and social concerns; and the everyday feelings of hunger,
thirst, fatigue, sleepiness, cold, or warmth
16. Imaginative
Discussions involving elements of creativity and artistic
expression
Discussing a poem, a story, a piece of music, a play, a
painting, a film, a TV program, etc., expanding ideas
suggested by other or by a piece of literature or reading
material, creating rhymes, poetry, stories or plays,
recombining familiar dialogs or passages creatively,
suggesting original beginnings or endings to dialogs or
stories, solving problems or mysteries.
17. The Language Skill Focused
A Functional Notional Approach to language
learning places major emphases on the
communicative purposes of speech or in
speaking skill.
18. Conclusion
Functional-national is a method of language teaching that
categorize along with others under the rubric of a communicative
approach. The method stresses a means of organizing a language
syllabus. This approach holds that the classification of skill levels
should be based on what people want to do with the language
(functions) or in terms of what meanings people want to convey
(notions). A Functional Notional Approach to language learning
places major emphases on the communicative purposes of speech
or in speaking skill. That is what people want to do or accomplish
through speech. In teaching language, the Functional Notional
Approach to language helps the teacher to identify the needs of
the learner and analyze the needs in order to draw the syllabus,
beside that also to teach the purposes of speech.
