Mother tongue usage and classroom instructionoircjournals
Mother tongue/first language-based education system with adequate teachers and learning resource materials.The policy of language in Kenya emphasizes on the importance of first language; teachers overlook everyday reality of
its usage, and tend to be irrelevant to their needs. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of
teacher’s attitude on classrooms instruction.A descriptive survey research design was used. Target population was 4
Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (QASO), 200 head teachers and 400 teachers from 200 ECDE centres
in the county. The sample size was 241 respondents, thes
e were; 4 QASOs, 79 head teachers and 158 pre-school
teachers. The study used purposive sampling technique to select seventy nine head teachers and four Sub County QASOs. The study used simple random sampling technique to select 158 teachers from the sampled schools. The instruments for data collection were interviews and questionnaires.Questionnaires were administered to the pre-school teachers, while Sub County Quality assurance officers and head teachers were interviewed. The instruments were piloted in Kericho County that had similar characteristics as the study area. The reliability of research instrument was tested using Cronbanch’s Alpha coefficient. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings indicated that t
eacher attitude was a positive influence on mother tongue/first language usage in classroom instruction. The study recommended that the government should support in-
service training for pre-school teachers on the use of mother tongue/first language as a language of instruction; provide funds for the development and acquisition of L1 resources for teaching that ensures schools comply with the language policy.
MOTHER TONGUE INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING SRJIS
Language is a method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of a system of arbitrarily produced symbols for physiological as well as psychological survival. In a multilingual Indian Society, where English acts as a second language, our aim of teaching English is not to develop British or American accent but to help the learners to overcome regional accents, wrong pronunciation and gradually train them in proper articulation. The aim of this article is to discuss the mother tongue influence in the process of English Language learning and how a teacher can help to overcome some of the problem encountered by an Indian learner of English as well as to improve his/her communicative competence.

Majoring in linguistics means that you will learn about
many aspects of human language, including sounds
(phonetics, phonology), words (morphology), sentences
(syntax), and meaning (semantics). It can involve looking
at how languages change over time (historical linguistics);
how language varies from situation to situation, group to
group, and place to place (sociolinguistics, dialectology);

u how people use language in context (pragmatics,
discourse analysis); how to model aspects of
language (computational linguistics); how people
acquire or learn language (language acquisition);
how people process language (psycholinguistics,
experimental linguistics); how language relates to
historical, social, and cultural issues
(anthropological linguistics); how language is
taught in a classroom setting, or how students
learn language (applied linguistics).

One very good reason for studying linguistics is that
language is what makes us distinctly human. Lederer (1991)
puts it in the strongest terms: “The birth of language is the
dawn of humanity …. before we had words, we were not
human beings”

u The relationship between linguistics and second language
teaching has always been a controversial one. Many linguists
have argued that linguistics has nothing to say to the teacher.

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.

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.
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.

4. “Learning new words is not an instantaneous process if it were, and if
the presentation were the only critical variable involved, then words
would not be forgotten and need to be relearned. As it is, however, it
seems that words are absorbed slowly over time and that only gradually
do they become fully integrated into the learner’s personal stock of
words when he can use them with the same sort of fluency that
characterizes the words he uses in his native language (Meara as cited
in Grauberg (1997: 22). Achieving lexical command is a slow process. If
one tries to analyze this process by relating it to linguistic description
of vocabulary learning, pronunciation and spelling are probably
acquired first, after the understanding of meaning, control over
morphological forms and syntactic links comes next and full semantic
knowledge is last.”

6. Vocabulary plays important role in language
learning. Vocabulary is also an essential skill for
learning to read, speak, write and listen. Without
sufficient vocabulary, people cannot
communicate and express their feeling both in
form of spoken and written effectively. The more
people master vocabulary the more they can
speak, write, read and listen as they want. Wilkins
in Thornbury (2004: 13) states that without
grammar very little can be conveyed, without
vocabulary nothing can be conveyed. It means
that even someone has good grammar but it will
be useless if they do not know many vocabularies.
In addition, it is supported by Ur (1996: 60) that
vocabulary is one of important things to be
taught in learning foreign language because it
will be impossible to speak up without variety of
words. Those statements imply the importance of
teaching vocabulary as a foreign language.

The Definition of Vocabulary
Learning a new language cannot be separated from
vocabulary. Meaning that in learning a new
language people have to know its vocabulary.
Vocabulary can be defined in various ways. Experts
have proposed some terms about vocabulary.
According to Richards and Renandya (2002: 255),
vocabulary is a core component of language
proficiency and provides much of the basis for how
learners speak, listen, read and write. Without an
extensive vocabulary and strategies for
acquiring new vocabulary, learners often
achieve their potential and may be discouraged
from making use of language learning
opportunities around them such as listening to
the radio, listening to the native speaker, and
using language in different context, reading or
watching television.”
