Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrating the end of the harvest season. Traditional Halloween activities such as trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, and wearing costumes were first brought to North America by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the 19th century. Key parts of modern Halloween include dressing in costumes, trick-or-treating by asking for treats door-to-door, and carving pumpkins to scare away evil spirits according to legends and traditions.

English Verbs + Prepositions DictionaryAlicia Garcia
Why study verbs + prepositions?
Prepositions are one of the most difficult things to master in the English language. They provide the “links” between the main words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives), but many English students have a hard time knowing which preposition to use in each situation.
How the world's first subway system was built Alicia Garcia
It was the dawn of 1863, and London's not-yet-opened subway system — the first of its kind in the world — had the city in an uproar. Most people thought the project, which cost more than 100 million dollars in today's money, would never work. So how did they do it? Christian Wolmar explains how the London Underground was built at a time when no one had built a railway under a city before.

In tropical seas, flying fish leap out of the water, gliding for up to 200 meters, before dipping back into the sea. In the Indo-Pacific, a hunting sailfish swims up to 110 kilometers per hour. These feats are made possible by a fish’s form—which in most species is a smooth, long body, fins, and a tail. Lauren Sallan explains why these features are so common, and what it reveals about fish.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin

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. History of Halloween
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the evening of October 31st.
Traditional activities such as trick-or-treating, bonfires, carving
jack-o-lanterns, and visiting “haunted houses” are part of the
holiday. Versions of these activities were first carried to North
America in the nineteenth century by Irish and Scottish
immigrants. Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival
known as Samhain. The festival was a celebration of the end of the
harvest season. Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of
Halloween. It involves children going from house to house in
costumes, asking for sweet treats with the question, “Trick or
treat?”
2. Dressing in costumes is another key tradition of Halloween. The
practice of dressing in costumes and begging door-to-door for
treats goes back to the Middle Ages.
There are many legends and theories around the traditional Jack-
o-Lantern carved in pumpkins as part of Halloween traditions to
scare away evil spirits.
Costumes are a key part of Halloween celebrations. During the
Samhain festival, people wear masks and other disguises to avoid
being recognized by evil spirits.
Orange and black are the traditional Halloween colors. Orange
symbolize the vibrant colors of their crops and the work of the
harvest season. Black stands for the death of summer.
