The document provides an analysis of the theatrical trailer for the 1977 horror film Suspiria. It summarizes that the trailer begins with a woman placing a flower in her hair to mysterious music, but the poem she recites takes a dark turn. It then shows fast-paced clips of the main character running in fear through a cracking building. Intercut are shots of other women screaming and fighting unseen forces. Throughout, the film's title is shown formed from flesh and whispered ominously. The trailer concludes with a bloody woman lunging with a knife and text saying "Coming Soon" to pique audience interest in the grisly murders at the film's ballet academy setting.
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.

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.

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.
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”.

Horror Film Trailer Analysis 2
1. Horror Film Trailer Analysis #2
For the second horror film trailer analysis, I have decided to work with the US theatrical trailer for
Suspiria. This film is a supernatural horror released in 1977 and directed by Dario Argento, starring
Jessica Harper who plays a newcomer at a fancy ballet academy that gradually comes to realize the
school is a front for something far more sinister and supernatural amidst a series of grisly murders.
The trailer breaks down quickly after the beginning sequence starts to play, not conforming to follow
Todorov’s narrative structure. It begins with a medium close up of a female combing their hair from
behind before placing a flower in it, presented in front of black background and with back lighting
from above in order for focusing to take effect. Their jumper is pink, which is a feminine colour and
something that we would associate with being affectionate and caring. The background music plays
out like a music box; it’s enchanting and sounds mysterious, alluding to a something dark
approaching as the music builds up. We also hear dialogue, “Roses are red, violets are blue…” which
is a famous short love poem. However, the last lines “but the iris is a flower, that will mean death for
you!” dramatically change the scene as the female spins around to reveal her face is nothing but a
mere skeleton. This will of course immediately reel in the audience’s attention with shock at the
sight of this corpse. The film’s title then fades into the screen, visualised as beating chunks of veiny
flesh that spell out Suspiria, also replicating someone breathing heavily. We also hear a heavily
reverbed voice that whispers out the title, before cutting to the next part of the trailer. This will start
to raise the tension for the audience, as the whisper along with the way the title has been visualised
would send shivers down their spine.
This section of the trailer features a montage of clips from the film played out at a fast pace. The first
selection shows the a few cuts of the main character in a medium long shot, Suzy Bannion, running
in terror from a bright artificial red light as the building she is in is frequented by lightning strikes and
heavy wind. The colour red is connected with blood and death and the outside weather is a standard
convention to have in horror films, as it makes the setting gloomy and lessens chances of escaping.
The music box sound still plays on in the background, making the scene even more mysterious and
puzzling. It then cuts to medium shot which follows her tumbling down another corridor. You can
hear her sigh in fear (Suspiria means Sighs in Latin) as the walls begin to crack and begin to collapse
in front of her. There is enigmatic writing on the walls that would make the audience think that she
is not in a safe location at all. The overall pace of this montage of clips leads to the attraction of the
audience as they begin to wonder what is exactly happening and why Suzy is running away from
something. It then cuts to the same clip of the title being shown with the exact whispering voice
being used. This is reminding the audience the name of the film.
It then cuts to medium close up of another woman looking confused and scared, made effective with
the use of profile lighting. A gloved hand with a knife suddenly appears behind her and strikes her
face in the next cut, eliciting blood curdling screams as she tumbles away in terror. It then cuts to
her falling backwards into glass windows that mysteriously light up in red from above as she opens
and forces her way through a door, reinforcing the meaning behind the colour red – blood and
death. The same voice that whispers the title can be heard in the background, “You can hide from
Suspiria….” Yet again the fleshy title clip is shown again, constantly making sure that the title of the
film stays in the audience’s minds. This cuts to a medium shot of a blonde woman clutching hold of a
2. lamp in her hand as she looks out of the window, showcasing that she is trying to fend herself from
something outside in the darkness in front of her. Blonde women are associated with being dumb in
horror films and one of the first to die. This is indeed the case with Suspiria as she meets her bloody
end within the first ten minutes of the film. It then cuts to a close up of red eyes peering back at her
from the outside. We can relate red eyes with evil. This cuts back to the shot of the blonde woman
before a hand smashes through the window and grabs her as she is pulled towards the outside. We
also here the creepy narration completing his sentence, “…But you can’t escape.” It then fades to
the title again, except the distribution credits now appearing through a wipe across the title. The
screaming of the blonde woman can still be heard, enticing fear from the audience and making them
have the urge to see the film just to know what happens to her. This also ties in with the narration
that none of the audience can escape from seeing and hearing the title of Suspiria; in order for them
to get away, they have to watch the film.
The last scene depicts a cut of a door opening to reveal a bloody woman wielding a knife lunging at
someone unseen. It then cuts to a block of white text across a black background that reads “Coming
Soon” in bold and in uppercase. It gives the audience the knowledge that the film will be released
soon. This trailer overall is good for showcasing the immediate horror that it is trying to display to
the audience despite being short, however, it has no promising build up that would make tension
within the audience rise more. It also does not follow a complete narrative structure which also goes
against standard conventions of horror film trailers.
