The document discusses the importance of academic language for English learners. It notes that simply exposing students to English is not enough and they need explicit instruction in academic language. It provides examples of the language used in different subject areas like science, history, and math. The document emphasizes that teachers need to provide scaffolding support, differentiate instruction based on language needs, and explicitly teach academic language.
The work focused on the following points;
- brainstorming about the topic of the meeting
- does grammar matter in these days?
- Defining grammar
- approaches to teach grammar
- defining inductive and deductive methods
- comparing and contrasting the both methods
- Pros and Cons of both methods
- combining both inducitve and deductive methods
- PIASP teaching strategy in the Algerian teaching syetem
- Samples of deductive and inductive grammar teaching methods in the Algerian teaching system
By : Mr Samir Bounab ( Teacher trainer at MONE)
This workshop covers the different ways of presenting grammar, both form and meaning, and provides ideas for controlled student practice. Teachers will understand the basic principles of conveying meaning and highlighting form through techniques such as timelines, concept checking and guided discovery. They will also discover how to select and stage practice according to the needs of their students and the importance of accuracy vs. fluency, as well as how to use techniques such as drilling and personalization to provide practice.
English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses are on the rise as the world becomes increasingly internationalised, people more mobile and English the lingua franca of business and technology. More and more people need English for work, and often in highly technical industries, such as engineering, oil & gas, aviation, and medicine.
This presentation give an outline of what ESP courses aim to achieve, how they are put together, and what skills and resources successsful ESP teachers need.

My keynote presentation and a session at the Manitoba TEAL Conference, October 23, 2015. The keynote focused on setting up language as a tool for critical literacy, for accessing the power structures in school and society at large.
My children Julian and Nicholas spent every free moment between walking the pups, reading, and eating playing Minecraft this summer. I got on their case and said, okay, literacy time! Create a presentation to tell me what this Minecraft things is all about, and they did. Watch this!

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

These are some indicators of culturally responsive pedagogy for English learners.
Reflect on these statements and think of where you school is now.
Good Language can be very critical…
It’s helpful to start with something we already know. Raise your hand if you know Bloom’s taxonomy. Just kidding, I forgot we are not in an AdobeConnect virtual webinar. You can’t do that in a static powerpoint.

Look at the Defining Features of Academic Language and think about how it applies at your grade level. If this hyperlink doesn’t work, try http://wida.us/standards/elp.aspx
Look at this poem. What do English learners need to know to describe the water cycle? Yes, it’s easy at first. Students need to know these big words such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, water collection, etc. What else do they need to know to form this discourse? Let’s look at Mortar words and Brick words on the next slide.
Conversational language is different from academic language. Conversational language: The water goes into the river, and then it comes back into the clouds. Academic language: The heat causes the water to evaporate. Water vapor is collected in the clouds and comes down in the form of precipitation.
