Japanese literature is one of the major literatures of the world and includes classic works like The Tale of Genji from the 11th century. Traditional ceremonies in Japan mark important life events from birth to death as well as seasonal festivals celebrating harvests.

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.

Written by Japanese writer Murasaki Shikibu
in the 11th century, is generally regarded as
the earliest novel in any culture and as the
greatest masterpiece of Japanese literature. In

Leaves) (ca. 700-750)
The Man’yoshu, the oldest collection of Japanese poetry,
was compiled in the 8th century and consists of more than
4,000 poems, some of which date from as early as the 5th
century. While consisting mainly of 31 syllable poems
(tanka, also called waka), it also contains many examples
of long poems (choka). The subject matter of the poems
varies from travel descriptions to elegies and poems of love
and loss. There are also poems reflecting Chinese and
Buddhist influences. The Man’yoshu poems are direct and
accessible to any audience unfamiliar with Japanese
culture and the conventions of Japanese poetry.
20. Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries
(Takekurabe) Child’s Play
(1895-96) by Higuchi Ichiyo (1872-1896)
Set in the pleasure quarters of the late Meiji era, this
short story focuses on neighborhood adolescents who
experience the beginning of adulthood. A gang of boys
and one girl, once close-knit playmates, drift apart as
they face the inevitabilities of growing up. Two
characters in the story, Nobu, a boy following the path
to priesthood, and Midori, a girl who will eventually
become a prostitute in the licensed brothel quarters,
hold mutual affection for one another but sadly realize
that their paths will never cross as they are about to
shoulder life’s responsibilities.

The Tale of the Heike is a warrior epic of the
historic battles between the Genji (Minamoto clan)
and the Heike (Taira clan) between 1169 and
1185. The Tale follows the rise of the Heike, their
arrogance and abuse of power, and their
destruction at the hands of the Genji. Students who
are interested in the transition to and the rise of
the warrior class in Japanese history will find this
a content-rich work.
Medieval and Tokugawa Periods (1185-1868)
23. JAPANESE LITERATURE
In written form from at least the 8th
century AD to the present.
One of the oldest and richest national
literatures. Since the late 1800s, Japanese
writings have become increasingly
familiar abroad.
Genres such as haiku verse, nō drama,
and the Japanese novel have had a
substantial impact on literature in many
parts of the world.
24. With the introduction of kanji (漢字, lit.
"Chinese characters") from the Asian
mainland, writing became possible, as there
was no native writing system. Consequently,
the only literary language was classical
Chinese to begin with; later, the characters
were adapted to write Japanese, creating
what is known as the man'yōgana, the
earliest form of kana, or syllabic writing.
Japanese Ancient Literature (pre-8th Century)
25. • Nara Period include Kojiki (712: a partly
mythological, partly accurate history of Japan)
•Nihonshoki (720: a chronicle with a slightly
more solid foundation in historical records than
the Kojiki), and Man'yōshū (759: a poetry
anthology).
• The language used in the works of this period
differs significantly from later periods in both its
grammar and phonology. Even in this early era,
significant dialectal differences within Japanese
are apparent.

26. Natsume Soseki
• Japanese author
• first gained public attention with his
Wagahai wa neko de aru (1906; I Am a
Cat, 1961)
•a generally light-hearted series of
observations that a cat makes about
humans. Soseki later published more
serious psychological novels.
Writers Behind Japanese Literature
Tanizaki Jun’ichirō
• Many of the works of Japanese
author focus on male-female
relationships.
• He is best known for Tade kuu
mushi (1929; Some Prefer Nettles,
1955), about a failing marriage.
29. Japanese Writings
1. KANJI The Kanji includes about 2000
"characters" derived from Chinese
starting more than 1500 years ago, with
more than 5,000 possible pronounciations
[a single character may have from one to
more than six or seven] and covering at
least 5000 possible "meanings" or
"semantic fields" which form the heart of
the writing system. Most of these would be
recognized by most educated Japanese
readers. Several thousand
more Kanji were also adopted for use by
the Japanese (and have "standardized"
Japanese pronounciations)
30. 2. KANA Some time after adopting Chinese characters, the
Japanese developed two syllabaries (KANA), partially derived
from Kanji. Syllabaries are writing systems in which whole syllables,
rather than discrete sounds (phonemes), are represented by signs
which cannot be broken down into their constituent sound elements.
2a. Hiragana In this syllabary verb endings and other
grammatical elements--not present in the Chinese character system--
and other features of the Japanese language are reflected in
writing.Hiragana appears to be more cursive ("rounder")
than katakana.
2b. Katakana This syllabary, which covers exactly the same
syllable sound-system, is used primarily for writing out the sounds of
borrowed words (especially of non-Asian origins) and for
emphasis. Katakana is written in a more angular, linear form than
is hiragana.
2c. Furigana These are smaller than usual syllable signs
(usually hiragana) that are written alongside or above
a Kanji primarily to indicate its correct pronounciation (remember
that any Kanjimay have several pronounciations or readings which
may or may not alter its meaning).
34. Festivals and Celebrations
Many festivals and
celebrations had its
own customs:
Many involved contests
that tested athletic,
poetic, or artistic skill.
For example, in the
Festival of the Snake,
cups of wine were floated
in a stream. Guests took
a cup and drank from it.
Then they had to think up
and recite a poem.
