A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

2. Introduction Sometimes people who are learning English as a second language feel embarrassed when they have to speak in public or in front of a audience. What we want to do is give them the material, we could say the tools to work on it. So basically our project is focus on pronunciation, also we focus on the hardest English sounds for Spanish speakers
3. Most difficult sounds These are the most difficult vowels for Spanish speakers. You can find this sound /ʊ/ in words like: Cook, book, look, poor, took, mushroom, football…Etc And you could pronounce it like (U) sound in Spanish. You can find this sound /ɪː/ in words like: Keep, free, need, feed, been, seek, teeth, feel ...Etc And you could pronounce it like (I) long sound in Spanish.
4. Also there is an /ɪ/ short sound and you might be able to see the difference between /ɪ:/ and this /I/. Here are some examples: 1- Eat with /ɪ:/ and It with /ɪ/ 2- Heat and hit 3- Beat and bit You can find this sound /ʌ/ in words like: But, cup, under, cut, run, blood, uncle, sun, club, summer…Etc And you could pronounce it like (A) sound in Spanish. You can find this sound / j / in words like: You, yes, yellow, useful, universe, unit, youth, year…Etc You could pronounce it also like (?) sound in Spanish. Is a voiced sound, also is a lingua-palatal sound and when you make this sound you must feel a vibration on your throat.
5. “tion” sound at the end of the words “ture” sound and the end of the words At the end of the words is pronounce it as “shun” pronouncing U like this sound /j/. Explanation Pollution Emotion Location It’s phonetic transcription is: /ʃən/. At the end of the words is pronounce it as “shur”. Adventure Future Literature Mixture It’s phonetic transcription is: /ʃər/.
6. Homophones Homophone: “A Word which is pronounced the same as another word but has a different meaning or a different spelling”. Examples: Piece - peace = /pɪ:s/, /pɪ:s/ Be - bee = /bi/, /bi/ Fare - fair = /fɛr/, /fɛr/ Son - sun = /sən/, /sən/ Loan - lone = /lon/, /lon/
7. The S at the beginning When Spanish speakers have to pronounce words like sport, school, station. They put and (-E-Spanish sound) before the S and that makes their pronunciation even worse. It’s phonetic transcription is : /s/ you just have to be careful and try not to add more sounds.
8. Final EDregular verbs in past tense 1. Use /t/ after unvoiced final sounds f, k, p, s, tʃ (ch), ʃ (sh), † (th). In words like: look - looked (t) push - pushed (t) ask - asked (t) watch - watched (t) help - helped(t) dress - dressed (t) 2. Use /d/ after voiced final sounds b, g, ʒ(j), l, m, n, r, ð(th), v, z, + vowels . In words like: sob - sobbed (d) roam - roamed (d) believe - believed (d) judge - judged (d) fill - filled (d) enjoy - enjoyed (d)
9. 3. Finally you could Use / / after final /d/ and /t/ . In words like: Need - needed () Wait – waited () Accept – accepted ()
10. Suggestions 1- Listen to how speakers pronounce various words and phrases and try to imitate them. 2- Try to listen to some music, specially with different accents (British. Canadian, Australian…) 3- Try to learn the phonetic alphabet, it gives you a reference of how you should pronounce. 4- Talk as many times as you can with your friends, you will learn new vocabulary and how to pronounce new words.
