Remote Teaching, Distance Learning, Team Teaching or Blended Learning?Graham Stanley
Presentation prepared for the Teacher Education conference (TEC14) in Hyderabad, India (featured speaker) in February 2014.
Due to a lack of of qualified and experienced teachers in Uruguay, English is being taught in primary classes all across the country via video conferencing, using teachers from elsewhere (including Argentina, the Philippines and Mexico). Because there are two teachers, a classroom teacher (CT) and a remote (RT), a new type of methodology is being developed that combines elements of distance learning, team teaching and blended learning, but which also requires a unique approach.

Dostoevsky's Grand Inquisitor claimed to have corrected Christ's work and refounded it on the three-legged stool of Mystery, Miracle and Authority. Like Jesus in the desert, we too face the seductions of material comfort , power and security. Are we following Him, or are we lured by the attraction of material things, earthly power or false security?

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.

6. Challenging Themes: Radio English for Learners and Teachers
Nigeria: Context
• Nigeria is a second language country with a
population of over 195 million people
• English is the lingua franca as it is the language of
education, government and commerce
• English in Nigeria is very poorly taught and learned
with no attempt at innovativeness by the teacher
• In spite of the many professional development
programmes on offer, teacher professional
development is seriously lacking
7. Challenging Themes: Radio English for Learners and Teachers
Nigeria: Why Deliver Classroom Language
via Radio?
There are a large number of English language teachers
in Nigeria who need professional development in one
form or the other
• The British Council has a number of very rich teacher
development courses for face to face delivery, of which
Classroom Language is one
• Face - to - face programmes have basic limitations that
made it necessary to seek a more effective mode of
delivery
• Radio was one way to reach many more teachers in a
cost-effective way, while still creating good impact
8. Challenging Themes: Radio English for Learners and Teachers
Nigeria: How was Classroom
Language adapted for radio?
• The course was very clearly defined, but had a
skeletal nature which needed to be filled out.
• To do this the services of 2 ELT consultants was
enlisted and they derived from the global product,
content which will be suitable for radio broadcast.
• There was a script conference with ELT experts
and radio producers and presenters where a
production script was developed
• After this, we were ready to start actual production

750,000 of these teachers and 100 million learners are in Sub-Saharan Africa
Internet connectivity in Africa is still patchy and generally too expensive for teachers and learners
The British Council wanted to reach many more learners and teachers using its limited resources.
This meant we had to explore different channels to reach our target audiences at a distance – including radio, newspapers and mobile phones
You may say – radio is old hat. It’s all been done before by BBC English. True, radio has been around for a long time, but there are still very good reasons for using it, especially in Africa.
There are a large number of English language teachers in Nigeria who need professional development in one form or the other
The British Council has a number of very rich teacher development courses for face to face delivery, of which Classroom Language is one
Face - to - face programmes have basic limitations that made it necessary to seek a more effective mode of delivery

These programmes are intended for teachers of English who may have low level qualifications and lack confidence in their knowledge of English.

Objectives
Addressing key issues in classroom practice by exploring and sharing well tried strategies to improve the teaching and learning of English.
Motivating teachers and providing a ‘catalyst’ to improve morale
Encouraging more learner-centred strategies and making learning more effective.
Reaching as many teachers as possible.
24 pages of supporting notes for teachers are being supplied to educational institutions, teacher training colleges, etc in advance of the broadcasts.
Programmes can be re-packaged and delivered via pod-casts, thus also reaching more technologically-equipped communities.
Educational broadcasters can adapt the series to suit their own needs, eg by adding an introduction in the listener’s own language, or a studio discussion on the topic.
The British Council can support seminars or workshops to help strengthen the use of An Introduction to Teacher Development as part of a teacher development and distance education outreach project.
We have produced a promotional pack for radio stations containing notes for broadcasters
In Sub-Saharan Africa are producing 10,000 sets of 3 audio CDS which will be released to training colleges and other organisations for use on Pre and In-set training courses once the programmes have been broadcast.
These are huge – eg MONUC’s Radio Okapi in DRC has 50 million listeners, more than RFI
For both learners and teachers, we expect by 2013 to reach up to 20 million listeners in Sub Saharan Africa with our programmes
In Nigeria the Teacher Development series reached a potential audience of 8 million (not all teachers!)
Challenges
We’d prefer not to have to pay for airtime, but recognise that in some countries, and for teacher programmes which have small target audiences, we may have to
Finding locally delivery partners (e.g. NAMCOL in Namibia) to ensure the programmes are embedded within local initiatives
It took far longer to produce the first series than we originally anticipated – reasons included waiting for feedback from focus groups; getting authentic clips from countries like Afghanistan; delays in production, but we have learnt a lot from the initial experience.
LearnEnglish Radio
We decided to adopt a different tack – developing the concept then looking for a strategic funding partner
We wanted to tackle developmental themes relevant to Africa and our target audience of 16-30 year old both in and out of school
We produced a flyer and approached a range of potential sponsors who were known to support educational initiatives and had corporate social responsibility programmes
We approached potential strategic including Coca Cola, Nokia, and mobile phone companies such as Telkom, Zain and Sonatel
Results and next steps
So far we’ve not managed to find a strategic partner
We have widened the scope to include other regions (eg the Middle East and China) and changed the focus to concentrate on English for work situations
We are commissioning sample programmes which we will try out with focus groups
