Supporting learners with low levels of literacy
Teaching literacy to ESOL learners with no prior literacy presents several challenges. These learners are just beginning to learn the basic sub-skills of reading and writing such as letter sounds and simple words. Teachers must start by activating learners' background knowledge and using context clues, word order, and pictures to build understanding. A common approach is the language experience method, where the teacher works with learners to create an oral story, writes it down for them to read, and breaks it into individual words and letters to reinforce early literacy skills like phonics. The goal is to make literacy relevant by connecting it to learners' own experiences.

Peta Mathias is a New Zealand businesswoman who has operated businesses in both France and New Zealand. She spoke to the New Zealand Business Women's Network in London about developing relationships and networking. Some of the key points from the discussion included:
- For women, relationships are at the core of networking, with work relationships built around talking things through together. Men's relationships may be more competitive and built around doing things together.
- Setting up a business in France is very different than in New Zealand due to greater bureaucracy in France. She found running a restaurant in Paris particularly challenging due to these differences.
- Her advice is to focus on developing authentic relationships based on giving value to others, rather than just taking what you can

She discussed how traditional media have expanded their online content through websites, videos, and forums. Social networks have also simplified tools for users to share information, engage with audiences through mobile messaging, and reach younger people. However, social media can also lead to polarization and imitation rather than active participation. The online presence of traditional media both broadens reach but risks reinforcing existing views rather than enhancing democracy.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success Story
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.

Kick&Chase1
- 1. Kick & Chase Text & Images: Joseph Hoye The London Sevens is a celebration of all that is good about rugby. Fast running, Hail Mary passes, tackles of Twin Tower destruction: all these combine to make a weekend of thrilling sports action for fans of the oval ball game. London is the second-to-last leg of an eight tournament series, spread across the globe. By the time the series came to London in May, only two teams were in with a chance of clinching the 2010 title: Samoa and New Zealand. Both teams were troubled in pool play, with Kenya pushing NZ to a draw and Argentina handing Samoa a 10-14 loss on the first day. The two teams met each other on day two in the cup quarter-final where Samoa were the eventual winners. NZ took some consolation in later stealing last gasp wins against England and old foes Fiji in the consolation plate competition while Samoa were ousted by finalist South Africa. Australia were the tournament winners, which meant that both NZ and Samoa were still competing for the series title in Edinburgh the following week. Copyright Joseph Hoye 2010 1
- 2. Kick & Chase Text & Images: Joseph Hoye Rugby Sevens is an extremely fast and shortened version of the fifteen player game of Rugby Union. Like its bigger sibling, it is a full- contact sport combining pace and handling skills with crunching tackles. Unlike the fifteen a-side game, the wide spaces created by fewer players on field allows players more freedom to run, so each game is only fourteen minutes long. That is more than enough to test any player’s fitness. This is one sport that keeps its audience in mind. The short span of each game allows spectators to keep their attention firmly on the action. The speed and elusiveness of the players is always on display, while the sight of ball-carriers being driven five metres backwards and pummelled into the earth is always accompanied by a contrasting sound- track of wild cheers and groans of sympathy. Sevens was created to delight and entertain, as well as pit great athletes against each other. The IRB World Sevens Series is the top championship globally and Twickenham, considered by some to be the home of rugby, is one of the best places in the world to watch rugby. Copyright Joseph Hoye 2010 2
- 3. Kick & Chase Text & Images: Joseph Hoye But sevens is not just about the rugby. It is also about the spectators having a great time. Hong Kong started the idea of creating a party atmosphere and now most of the tournaments have followed suit. Spectator competitions run throughout the day, cheerleaders dance and pose between games, bands play during the round breaks and this year London decided to attempt breaking into the Guinness Book of Records by gathering the largest number of superheroes in one place. 1091 people donned a costume and earned themselves a place in the record books – but just for a few days. The record was broken in Australia a week later. Rugby Sevens has a family atmosphere. Alcohol is usually available for consumption in the stadiums, yet there is not the hooliganism associated with other codes of football. The quick-fire fourteen minute games keep attentions on the game while the entertainment and catering between games break up any monotony that can affect some stadium spectators. The London Sevens 2010 was a fantastic event enjoyed by over 40,000 people – a few of whom were there just for the rugby. And for the record, Samoa were crowned 2010 champions at Edinburgh the following week. Copyright Joseph Hoye 2010 3
