This document discusses changes in society and education due to new technologies and literacies. It argues that teaching must change from standardized methods to incorporate diverse pedagogies and performance-based learning that align with how knowledge is constructed in a digital world. Schools should teach foreign languages through a lens of culture and citizenship, not just grammar. A new communicative approach is needed to make foreign language learning more meaningful.

Journalism & the New Media Literacies 101608Erin Reilly
Journalism is in a paradigm shift. More than any generation to come before them, today’s young people are participating in the creation and sharing of culture with the immediacy and connectedness that a digitally networked world provides. In many cases, these young adults are actively involved in what we are calling participatory cultures; a participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to one of community involvement.
Assessment for cultural learning in contexts for students learning. By an interchange for minimun needs. Indeed this can enhange your qualifications in social studies habilities in language. By Vielka Reece D.
Zimbabwe has for a long time been characterised by varied and skewed levels of literacy across her regions. This scenario has left some regions more advantaged and developed than others. Binga District in Matabeleland North, mainly habited by the Tonga speaking people has been one such community where underdevelopment has been tied to the low levels of literacy. It is in this light that this study therefore aimed to investigate the role of Tonga Language and Culture Committee (TOLACCO), Roman Catholic and Community leadership in the promotion of literacy in Binga Community of Zimbabwe. Data was collected from the TOLACCO, Roman Catholic Parishioners, District Administrator, Councillors and the community leaders who included two Chiefs and their Headman. Structured interview schedule and questionnaire were used in data collection. The results revealed that low literacy level tied to the cultural beliefs of the baTonga people has hindered human resources and infrastructure development within Binga. One Chief bemoaned the situation where pupils at primary school were being taught not in their mother language and some teachers from outside the region predominantly Ndebele and Shona speaking were not interested in learning the Tonga language. There is urgent need to upscale the production of teaching and learning material in Chitonga at both primary and secondary school levels. The results amplified the need for a multi-stakeholder approach in the promotion of high literacy levels in community development.
Globalisation and the increasing use of technology
have greatly influenced how people work and interact
socially.
In today’s world being able to search for information
from various sources is essential to a person’s success.
The better and stronger an education a person has the
more qualified and prepared they are to evaluate
information and act on it.

This presentation looks at applying multiliteracies to TEFL (teaching English as a Foreign Language). Multiliteracies was a language learning concept based on semiotics that allowed for and included new media modes of communication in the 1990s. Whilst the language learning situation has changed considerably since that time, the concept of multiliteracies is still relevant in terms of opening up and supplementing TEFL practice.

E-learning and intercultural dimensions of learning theories and teaching modelseLearning Papers
Author: Claire Bélisle.
It will be argued in this article that developing intercultural awareness in students can be facilitated by e-learning environments. When choosing to address learning goals within an e-learning environment, authors and educators need to become aware of hidden dimensions in their pedagogical activity.
El pensamiento liberador basado en las propuestas de Paulo Freire, Simón Rodríguez y Prieto Figueroa en el marco del plan de la patria. Propone una educación que crítica, constructivista en la formación del dominio de una lengua extranjera (este caso el inglés), valorando los aspectos inherentes socio-culturales de toda lengua y adaptarlos a las presentes necesidades educativa como lo es el aprendizaje mixto, a distancia y el virtual interactivo.
Shall We Play? is written by Erin Reilly, Henry Jenkins, Laurel Felt and Vanessa Vartabedian. It represents a revisiting of Henry Jenkins' original MacArthur white paper, Confronting the Challenges of a Participatory Culture, and lays out what we see as core principles for participatory learning. It includes some core reflections on what has happened in the Digital Media and Learning movement over the past six years as we have sought to bring a more participatory spirit to those institutions and practices that most directly touch young people’s lives.
Nowadays, teaching languages has evolved more than ever. This has been the result of many
researches that aimed at simplifying the job of educators and the task of learning. Therefore, in this globalized
world there has been an urgent need to see how language can be taught without threatening the native culture.
In this respects scholars have haggled to find techniques that can help students develop their cultural
awareness. Besides being culturally aware it has been of a great importance to see how language and culture
can mingle in a smooth way so that students can be able to think locally (respect their native culture) but work
globally in a way thatenables them to see both the positive and negative aspects of cultural differences. They
construct their own standpoint by becoming tolerant towards the foreign culture and sovereign to their own.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

1. FOREIGN LANGUAGES
TEACHING, EDUCATION
ANDTHE NEW
LITERACIES STUDIES:
EXPANDING VIEWS
Group 4 Flávia Rodrigues, Lídia das Chagas e Mariana Clímaco
2. Introduction
These data have been analyzed generating
interpretations that lead to reflections and a
proposal of change in the focused teaching
environments.
Both reflections and proposals are present in
Orientações Curriculares para o Ensino Médio:
Línguas Estrangeiras, published by MEC in 2006.
3. Introduction
Three theoretical conceptions are expanded:
l The social changes observed in the last decades as a
consequence of technological advances influencing
language and discourse, as well as social communication;
c The epistemological changes that constitue the dialectics
in the advances of language, technology and
communication;
o The philosophy of education-pedagogy-practice dialectic
relationship that comes together new literacies and
multiliteracies.
4. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
In the last decades, there have been undeniable
social transformations. The social representations
have visibly changed.
A comparison between advertisements of different
decades would illustrate these differences with more
clarity.
6. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
“The expanding, interventionary states of the
nineteenth and twenty centuries used schools as a
way of standardizing national languages. In the
Old World this meant imposing national standards
over dialect differences. In the New World, it
meant assimilating immigrant indigenous peoples to
the standardized “proper” language of the
colonizer”, according to Cope and Kalantzis.
7. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
The authors observe that the threshold between the
public and the private has gradually turned thinner,
considering “the increasing invasion of private
spaces by mass media culture, global commodity
culture and communication and information
networks”.
This invasion results in “culture narratives that are
built up of interwoven narratives and commodities
that cross television, toys, fast-food packaging,
video games”, interfering in and recunstructing
beliefs and life courses.
8. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
The society transforms itself with the presence of
new technologies, new language and communication
modes, and new interactions.
Cope and Kalantzis would again advert that “these
new workplace discourses can be taken in two
different ways – as opening new educational and
social possibilities, or as new systms of mind control
and exploitation”, leaving a challenging question
for reflection: “how do we transform incrementally
the achievable and apt outcomes of schooling?”
9. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
An additional aspect in relation to the focused
changes themselves would be the understanding
that they are not only social but also
epistemological.
Moris criticizes this epistemology saying that it
promotes reproductive education, instead of the
development of a creative mind through the
pedagogical action.
10. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
He explains that conventional epistemology
concentrates on constructing knowledge according
to the principles of reduction – knowledge is
reduced or fragmented from the whole to the parts
– and grading – learning is designed in a pre-
established scale that starts from na easy bottom
line that gradually advances to more complex
levels of difficulty of the subject to be aprehended
by students.
11. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
Researchers show that the new languages and
technologies in the digital society introduce another
way of knowledge construction.
They name it as “performance epistemology” and
eplain it as “knowing how to proceed in the
absence of existing models and exemplars”.
12. Social and epistemological
changes in the digital society
These auhtors call attention to the emerging
practises in these interactions:

Collag

13. The changes in teaching and
education
The society has been transforming languages,
communication modalities, ways of communication,
interaction, knowledge construction at the same time that
it is dialectically transformed by them.
The search for knowledge uniformity and for a standard
guidance in teaching should succumb to a diversity of
pedagogical and curricular possibilities which appear to
be more congruent with the described changes.
14. The changes in teaching and
education
Besides school pedagogies, there is another pedagogy that is
rather effective in the out-of-school living and experiences. It is
dominated by Giroux as public pedagogy.
Giroux – cultural policy present in society within, for instance,
television, programs, series, advertisings, choice of pictures in
news building (power dynamic imbued with educative strength)
15. The changes in teaching and
education
The diffusion of information by talk radio, computer screens,
television, newspaper, internet and alternative media has
counted on no sociopolitical and ethical concern, considering
that although the photographic registers are implicated in
history, their conditions of production have been suppressed
making them invisible to the viewers.
It is observed that there has been much debate about what has
been done in classroom pratices, contrasting with what is
idealized for this same practice.
16. The changes in teaching and
education
Saviani defends the necessity of apprehending the dialects
within the philosophy efficacy and effectiveness.
The philosophy of education pedagogy – pratice relationship
(Saviani).
17. New literacies and the teaching of
foreign languages
Literacy is the basic teaching of reading and
writing.
Several countries with low illiteracy rate were
observed in order to identify the type of lettering
used.
Through the observations made was possible to
detect the functionally illiterate.
The functional illiterate is one who can read and
write, but can not perform a reading society.
18. New literacies and the teaching of
foreign languages
The reading includes the social interpretation of the
text, the link with the knowledge of the reader's
world, the perception of irony and sarcasm.
The technology enables easy access to all kinds of
reading and always instigates a social reading.
19. New literacies and the teaching of
foreign languages
According to Luke and Freebody it is possible to have access
to a new kind of literacy. The social literacy is a
multidisciplinary process which addresses several themes
that can be applied to the interpretation of everyday life.
The biggest concern with teaching and learning of foreign
languages also refers to the lack of infrastructure in some
schools, participation sometimes inefficient, parents, teachers
and students in knowledge construction.
20. New literacies and the teaching of
foreign languages
Learning a foreign language must not only cling to the
instrumental aspect, it is necessary to understand a little
about the culture of the country which you are learning the
language.
The question is to review how the foreign language is being
taught, not enough to use archaic methods is necessary to
incorporate issues of social teachings, so the students also
learn about citizenship, ethics, foreign culture, etc.
21. New literacies and the teaching of
foreign languages
There will always be students interested in learning a foreign
language, but what should be changed and taken into
consideration is that the method of teaching and learning
should be more comprehensive and meaningful.
It is necessary to deconstruct the idea that learning a foreign
language is limited only to linguistic and grammatical aspects
and build a new communicative way of teaching and learning.
22. Final considerations
The exposition about social and epistemoogical changes as well as
the new conceptions of language and education intends to explain the
reason for the widely defend need for the foreing languages teaching
reviewing – RENOVATE WAY OF DOING.
For implemented, it is requires much learning and maturing.
It is a knowledge that has been constructed and reconstrued.
