How Arabic Influences Pronunciation of EnglishPeggy Tharpe
When we learn to speak another language, we must acquire some new sounds and strategies. We may also have to reset how and when we employ stress and timing. These slides will accompany a webinar conversation between Peggy Tharpe, M.A. TESOL, Monterey Institute of International Studies, and Professor Hala Fawzi's CALL class at Yanbu University College, Saudi Arabia, on teaching methods and strategies that help Arabic speakers adjust their sound in English.

A Multiple Classifiers System For Solving The Character Recognition Problem I...Randa Elanwar
In this paper we proposed a multiple classifiers system for handwritten Arabic alphabet recognition to investigate if it will really achieve a remarkable increase in the recognition accuracy compared to a single feature-based classifier system result
Intonation is a basic knowledge that should be applied for speaking skills. Final intonation patterns are the basic intonation pattern which can easily be learned and applied. Nowadays, intonation has been neglected. Sharing this will advocate the correct usage of the language.

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.

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.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
1. INTONATION
Intonation characterizes the highest supra-segmental
unit of the English sound system that we want to
study (the other units were the syllable and the word).
The scope of intonation being rather large, it very
often goes beyond the field of linguistics. Therefore
we shall not study intonation when it is used to
express emotions and attitudes. Neither shall we look
into the discourse function of intonation since we
want to limit ourselves to the utterance of sentences.
2. The Tonic Syllable
It is quite safe to say that unless some intonation is produced
one doesn’t know whether an utterance is complete or not.
Where exactly this utterance ends, giving thus the limits of the
sentence, cannot be decided easily. The most common form of
intonation is the fall in pitch which occurs on the last stressed
syllable, i.e. the stressed syllable of the last lexical word, which
we will call tonic syllable. Usually we can decide where the
utterance stops after the tonic syllable thanks to:
1) meaning
2) silence
3) the beginning of a new utterance
3. There are other intonation marks. A sudden rise in pitch can also indicate that the
utterance is complete. This rise in pitch is used to indicate that the sentence uttered
is a question when there is no interrogative word or auxiliary-subject inversion to
convey this meaning.
(19) you ate it ?
Instead of
(20) a. did you eat it ?
b. did you eat it?
There are also double changes in pitch direction (rise-fall or fall-rise ).
However, they do not seem to have the same function as rise or fall only. Fall-rise,
for example, tells us more about internal boundaries within the sentence than
actual utterance boundaries.
(21) a. 'Those who 'sold quickly | made a profit
b. 'Those who sold | ,quickly ,made a profit
4. This fall-rise indicating the boundary between two parts of the sentence
enables us to disambiguate the utterance. In (21a) it is the quick sale that
yielded a profit and in (21b) it is the sale that yielded a quick profit. (21)is a
good example of how the possible divisions of a sentence (here through the
use of intonation) allow us to organize meaning differently. In this sense, this
fall-rise intonation could be said to have a grammatical function.
In the literature on intonation rise-fall intonation is said to convey rather
strong feelings of approval, disapproval or surprise, such as
(22) Isn’t the view lovely ?
Yes
Rise-fall doesn’t seem to have anything to do with utterance boundaries, as
in yes or even with a question, as in yes but merely with what we called
attitudinal function of intonation. However, the matter would be worth
investigating, especially because of the parallel that could be established with
the less problematic fall-rise intonation.
5. Emphasis
Emphasis is a very clear-cut case in which the manipulation of intonation serves a
grammatical purpose specific to English. It consists of singling out a word of the
sentence by giving it the intonation pattern that would normally occur on the tonic
stress, i.e. the stressed syllable of the last lexical item. For example, in the sentence:
(23) it was very boring
The intonation is moved from boring (last lexical word) to very to indicate emphasis
on this word.
We can go a step further. Consider examples in (24) (from Roach 1983: ):
(24) a. [ˈaɪ ,wɒnt tə ,nəʊ weə hiz ˈtrævəlɪŋ tu]
I want to know where he’s traveling to
b. [ˈaɪ ,wɒnt tə ,nəʊ weə hiz ,trævəlɪŋ tu]
I want to know where he’s traveling to
6. The contrast between (24a) and (24b) lies in the fact that in (24b) to is
emphasized. Usually this is understood as an implicit opposition with another
possible word that could take its place, for example from . Hence (24b) could
be understood as:
(24)c. (implicit: I don’t want to know where he’s traveling from, but)
I want to know where he’s travelling to
If these two sentences were actually uttered in a sequence, one would get:
(24)d. I ‘don’t want to ‘know where he's ‘travelling from |
I ,want to ,know where he’s ,travelling to.
Note that the on from serves two functions:
1) it indicates sentence-internal boundary
2) as it is removed from the last lexical word (travelling ) onto a normally
unstressed grammatical word (from ), it indicates emphasis.
