This document discusses a study that used PDAs to support communicative English classes in Japan. The study aimed to address problems in English education by making classes more interactive. Students used PDAs to record interview questions, practice readings, conduct peer interviews and interviews with international students. They then uploaded recordings and summaries to a learning management system. Based on surveys, most students responded positively to using the PDAs, finding them convenient. However, issues with battery life and wireless connectivity arose. Overall, the study found PDA-assisted classes helped improve students' communicative skills and class interaction. Future work could explore using smartphones instead of PDAs to address costs and recruit more international students.

The study aims to explore the problems and difficulties of students speaking
English language for Engineering students hailing from rural background. The study
moreover aims to explore the causes of such difficulties. The researcher designed
certain tasks based on Task based language teaching on the sample of the study.
These tasks are applied for each student to investigate speaking difficulties and the
causes of such difficulties. The results showed and indicated that there are some
difficulties in speaking English due to fear of making mistakes, anxiety, shyness and
lack of confidence. The researcher identified to provide environment support and
encourage the students to speak English frequently
The ever increasing explosion of highly attractive multimedia resources (electronic gadgets) on offer has boosted the use of information and communication technology (ICT) almost all fields of life, including in education.

an investigation into using ted talks to improve presentation skills of third-year students at the faculty of english
Although much effort has been made for the feasibility of the study, the work may encounter certain limitations due to the time constraints as well as other factors related to inability of observing face-to-face presentations during the COVID pandemic. Besides, the study population is still limited - only 3rd year students will be surveyed, which indicates that the study results may not be equally reflective for younger or older students. Finally, the scope of the study is limited at Faculty of English- UFLS, so the survey may not be completely accurate for students of other majors.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
