The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. Formal Letters – Beginning and
Ending
• There are two ways to begin a formal
letter:
• Dear Sir/Madam (when you don’t know the name)
• Dear Mr Smith (name of person)
• If you begin your letter, ‘Dear Sir/Madam
you must end it, ‘Yours faithfully,’
• If you begin your letter ‘Dear Mr Smith,’
you must end it, ‘Yours sincerely,’
• These are the rules of formal letters in
English – there are no exceptions!
3. Formal Language
• Formal letters use formal language.
• What does this mean?
• No contractions (don’t/can’t/I’ll etc).
• No informal expressions (Why don’t we…/Did you
know that…/Write soon!/Love…/What’s up?/I’d love to!).
• No informal punctuation (!/…/( )/ - ).
• No phrasal verbs (pick up/look up/get over/turn on
etc.)
4. Formal Language
• Use formal linking words to make our
writing more cohesive: (Moreover/Furthermore/
Therefore)
• Use modal verbs in formal expressions:
(could/would/should)
• Use formal adjectives instead of informal
adjectives: (‘pleasant’ not ‘nice’/’pleased’ not
‘happy’/’enjoyable’ not ‘fun’ – and definitely not ‘funny’!)
• Use polite language (I would be interested in/ I
hope that you will consider my application / I look forward to
hearing from you soon).
5. Letter of Application - Job
• Look at this advertisement:
• How would you apply for this job?
WANTED
Young people with enthusiasm to
work as helpers at a summer
camp. Must speak two languages
and enjoy working with children.
6. First Paragraph
• Say why you are writing.
• Say what job you are applying for.
• Say where/when you saw it advertised (you
can invent this).
WANTED
Young people with enthusiasm to
work as helpers at a summer
camp. Must speak two languages
and enjoy working with children.
7. First Paragraph
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of camp helper which was
advertised in last Sunday’s ‘English Times’.
• Which of these is the best introduction?
Dear Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of camp helper which was
advertised in last Sunday’s ‘English Times’.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to apply for the job at your camp which I saw in ‘English
Times’ the other day.
This is a perfect introduction. The writer used ‘Dear
Sir/Madam’ because they did not know the name of the
person they were writing to, avoided any contractions, ‘I
am writing’, not ‘I’m writing’, and stated clearly the
purpose of their letter.
8. First Paragraph
• Which of these is the best introduction?
Dear Manager,
I am writing to apply for the position of camp helper which was
advertised in last Sunday’s ‘English Times’.
This is a perfect introduction except for ‘Dear
Manager’. The writer should have put ‘Dear
Sir/Madam because the name of the person
they are writing to is unknown.
9. First Paragraph
• Which of these is the best introduction?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to apply for the job at your camp which I saw in ‘English
Times’ the other day.
This writer has started correctly, ‘Dear
Sir/Madam’, but their introduction is too
informal. You should try to avoid directly
addressing the person you are writing to, ‘your
camp’, and expressions like ‘the other day’ are
very informal.
10. Second Paragraph
• Introduce yourself.
• Say what qualities you have which make
you suitable for the job.
• Give details of your qualifications and
previous experience.
• Make sure you include any details that
are mentioned in the advertisement!

11. Which of these is the best answer?
I am a positive and enthusiastic person and I have always enjoyed working
with children. I have been volunteering at a local camp for the past two
years which has been both challenging and rewarding. I am currently
completing my final year of secondary education and will be starting
university in September. In addition to my native Spanish, I have been
studying English for seven years and have reached a high level.
I’m cheerful and enthusiastic and I love working with children. I’ve
volunteered at a local camp for the past two years which was very funny.
I’ve nearly finished school and am off to university in September. I speak
Spanish and English pretty well.
I am positive, enthusiastic and have experience working with children. I will
finish secondary school and go to university in September. I am a native
Spanish speaker and I also speak English.
This is a good answer. The writer uses appropriate
formal language and addresses key points from the
advertisement – experience of working with children,
two languages, personality details.
12. Which of these is the best answer?
I’m cheerful and enthusiastic and I love working with children. I’ve
volunteered at a local camp for the past two years which was very funny.
I’ve nearly finished school and am off to university in September. I speak
Spanish and English pretty well.
This answer addresses all the points from the
advertisement but it is too informal. Also, ‘funny’ is used
incorrectly!
13. Which of these is the best answer?
I am positive, enthusiastic and have experience working with children. I will
finish secondary school and go to university in September. I am a native
Spanish speaker and I also speak English.
This answer does not give enough detail – the writer
doesn’t say anything about where they got experience
working with children and how they feel about it. The
language is reasonably formal but there are no formal
linking words which would make it more cohesive.
14. Third Paragraph
• Say why you are applying.
• Say why the company should consider
you.
• Sell yourself!
WANTED
Young people with enthusiasm to
work as helpers at a summer
camp. Must speak two languages
and enjoy working with children.
15. Which of these is the best answer?
I would welcome the opportunity to work in a summer camp where I would
be able to practise my English. Furthermore, I have been working with
children for some time and hope to pursue a career in education. Therefore
I believe that a position as a camp helper would be a valuable experience
I would be interested in the summer camp position because it would help
me achieve my goal of becoming a teacher. I could practise my English.
I’d like to work in a summer camp because I love kids and want to be a
teacher. I think that the camp helper job will help a lot with this.
This is a good answer. The writer uses appropriate
formal language and gives good reasons for wanting
the job. Formal linking words give the answer cohesion
and it is a suitable length.
16. Which of these is the best answer?
I would be interested in the summer camp position because it would help
me achieve my goal of becoming a teacher. I could practise my English.
This answer does not give enough detail and although
the language is reasonably formal there are no formal
linking words which would make it more cohesive.
17. Which of these is the best answer?
I’d like to work in a summer camp because I love kids and want to be a
teacher. I think that the camp helper job will help a lot with this.
This answer is too informal and doesn’t give much
information.
18. Concluding the letter
• There are certain fixed expressions we use
when concluding formal letters of application.
• We make a general statement about how we
hope our application will be considered.
• We thank the person we are writing to for
their time.
• We tell them that we look forward to hearing
from them.
19. Which of these sentences could you
use to conclude a letter of application?
• I hope you will consider my application.
• I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
• Thank you for your time.
• I hope you’ll give me the job.
• If you have any further questions do not hesitate
to contact me.
• I look forward to hearing from you soon.
• Thanks for reading.
• I hope you will give my application consideration.
