- Total physical response (TPR) is a language teaching method developed by James Asher where instructors give commands in the target language and students respond with physical actions. It is an example of the comprehension approach, where listening and responding serves to recognize meaning and learn language structure implicitly.
- There is a distinction between acquiring a language unconsciously like a first language and consciously learning a language. Acquisition involves natural communication while learning focuses more on form.
- The silent period is a stage in second language acquisition where learners do not speak as there is often pressure on adults to communicate early on compared to children.

After mining activities, the process of natural succession begins and plant communities which differ from the surrounding vegetation start to grow. Re-vegetation accelerate the development of soil processes in the quarries. The study of this vegetation and soil cover will help to develop ways for the remediation of man-made landscapes. The project studies an important scientific and technical issue about anthropogenic habitats, in which vegetation was completely removed.
The project won the 1st Prize in National Quarry Life Award in 2012 in Kazakhstan.

Globally, bats are facing wide-ranging threats that are causing the decline in the populations of several species in Europe. Some of these global threats are habitat degradation, disturbances in breeding places or hibernaculums and loss of roosting sites. We will take advantage of some properties of La Medina quarry (and most of quarries) to achieve our main goal: to increase the potential benefit of La Medina quarry for the bat populations inhabiting the surrounding area or inside the quarry.
We propose certain actions and guidelines to achieve all of our goals in order to benefit not only bats but also the environment, the company and society. Some of these actions are:
A methodology to identify evidence of bat species located at La Medina quarry.
A GIS and fieldwork based methodology to study the connectivity between La Medina and Las Caldas Cave, a Nature Reserve dedicated to bats.
A protocol for bat population management in quarries, in order to reconcile bats conservation with production and restoration in the quarry.
Interpretive kiosks, guided walks and other activities to spread the project among different local actors increasing people's knowledge and awareness and improving the corporate image of the company.
The results of the project could provide HeidelbergCement Group with tools enough to minimize disturbances to bats, to contribute to their conservation and to strengthen their populations in many quarries along the world.
The project won the 1st Prize in National Quarry Life Award in 2014 in Spain.

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.

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”.

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.

TPR
• Total physical response (TPR) is a language teaching
method developed by James Asher. It is based on the
coordination of language and physical movement. In
TPR, instructors give commands to students in the target
language, and students respond with whole-body
actions.
• The method is an example of the comprehension
approach to language teaching. The listening and
responding (with actions) serves two purposes: It is a
means of quickly recognizing meaning in the language
being learned, and a means of passively learning the
structure of the language itself. Grammar is not taught
explicitly, but can be learned from the language input.
TPR is a valuable way to learn vocabulary, especially
idiomatic terms, e.g., phrasal verbs.
3. 3
Acquisition vs learning
• There is an important distinction made by linguists
between language acquisition and language learning.
Children acquire language through a subconscious
process during which they are unaware of grammatical
rules. This is similar to the way they acquire their first
language. They get a feel for what is and what isn’t
correct. In order to acquire language, the learner needs
a source of natural communication. The emphasis is on
the text of the communication and not on the form.
Young students who are in the process of acquiring
English get plenty of “on the job” practice. They readily
acquire the language to communicate with classmates.
4. 4
Silent Period
• The silent period, or preproduction, is a stage in second
language acquisition where learners do not attempt to
speak. Silent periods are more common in children than in
adult learners, as there is often more pressure on adult
learners to speak during the early stages of acquisition.
This can be due to communication demands such as a
language being necessary at work, or to mainstream
language teaching methods insisting on production from
the very start of instruction.
5. 5
Mother tongue
• Is the language a person has learned from birth or within
the critical period. Children brought up speaking more
than one language can have more than one native
language, and be bilingual.

ESL
• A traditional term for the use or study of the English
language by non-native speakers in an English-speaking
environment. That environment may be a country in
which English is the mother tongue (e.g., Australia, the
U.S.) or one in which English has an established role
8. 8
Drills
• Disciplined, repetitious exercise as a means of teaching
and perfecting a skill or procedure.
• A task or exercise for teaching a skill or procedure by
repetition
9. 9
Approach
• The method used in dealing with or accomplishing: a
logical approach to the problem and a particular way of
thinking about or dealing with something.
10. 10
Phonics
• Phonics is a method for teaching reading and
writing of the English language by developing
learners' phonemic awareness—the ability to
hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes—in
order to teach the correspondence between
these sounds and the spelling patterns that
represent them.
11. 11
Digital literacy
• Refers to knowledge and skills in using traditional
computers (such as desktop PCs and laptops) with a
focus on practical skills in using software application
packages. Digital skills is a more contemporary term
but is limited to practical abilities in using digital
devices (such as laptops and smartphones). Digital
literacy differs from both of these terms in that it relates
to knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours in the use
of a broad range of digital devices such as wearables,
smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs, all of
which are seen as network (rather than computing)
devices.
12. 12
Literacy
• Literacy is the ability to read and write. Visual literacy also
includes the ability to understand visual forms of
communication such as body language, pictures, maps,
and video.
13. 13
Multiple Intelligencies
• The theory of multiple intelligences is a theory of
intelligence that differentiates it into specific (primarily
sensory) "modalities", rather than seeing intelligence as
dominated by a single general ability. Gardner
articulated seven criteria for a behavior to be considered
an intelligence. These were that the intelligences showed:
potential for brain isolation by brain damage, place in
evolutionary history, presence of core operations,
susceptibility to encoding (symbolic expression).
14. 14
Target language
• A systematic means of communicating by the use of
sounds or conventional symbols; "he taught foreign
languages"; "the language introduced is standard
throughout the text"; "the speed with which a program
can be executed depends on the language in which it is
written"
