RICHARD
Rodriguez
Richard Rodriguez, the son of Mexican immigrants, was born in San Francisco in 1944. He grew
up in Sacramento, where he attended Catholic schools before going on to Stanford University,
Columbia University, the Warburg Institute in London, and the University of California at
Berkeley, eventually pursuing a PhD in English Renaissance literature. His essays have been
published in Saturday Review, The American Scholar, Change, and elsewhere. He now lives in
San Francisco and works as a lecturer, an educational consultant, and a freelance writer. He
has published several books: Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez (1981),
Days of Obligation: An Argument with My Mexican Father (1992), Brown: The Last Discovery of
America (2002), and Darling: A Spiritual Autobiography (2013).
In Hunger of Memory, a book of autobiographical essays that the Christian Science Monitor
called “beautifully written, wrung from a sore heart,” Rodriguez tells the story of his education,
paying particular attention to both the meaning of his success as a student and, as he says, “its
consequent price — the loss.” Rodriguez’s loss is represented most powerfully by his increased
alienation from his parents and the decrease of intimate exchanges in family life. His parents’
primary language was Spanish; his, once he became eager for success in school, was English.
But the barrier was not only a language barrier. Rodriguez discovered that the interests he
developed at school and through his reading were interests he did not share with those at home
— in fact, his desire to speak of them tended to threaten and humiliate his mother and father.
This separation, Rodriguez argues, is a necessary part of every person’s development, even
though not everyone experiences it so dramatically. We must leave home and familiar ways of
speaking and understanding in order to participate in public life. On these grounds, Rodriguez
has been a strong voice against bilingual education, arguing that classes conducted in Spanish
will only reinforce Spanish-speaking students’ separateness from mainstream American life.
Rodriguez’s book caused a great deal of controversy upon publication, particularly in the
Hispanic community. As one critic argued, “It is indeed painful that Mr. Rodriguez has come to
identify himself so completely with the majority culture that he must propagandize for a system
of education which can only produce other deprived and impoverished souls like himself.” In his
second book, Days of Obligation:An Argument with My Mexican Father, Rodriguez continues to
explore his relationship with his family and with his Mexican heritage; here, however, he also
writes of his life as a gay male and the forms of alienation entailed by his sexuality, including his
sense of distance from gay lifestyles and culture, both popular and academic.
The selection that follows, Chapter 2 of Hunger of Memory, deals with Rodriguez’s
experiences in school. “If,” he ...

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.

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.
