Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

SENTENCE
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
26. SIMPLE SENTENCE
A sentence that has a single subject and a
single predicate is called a simple
sentence. (only one finite verb)
I am a teacher.
She took a cab to the airport.
We are having pizza for dinner tonight.
A simple sentence is also known as an
independent clause.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
27. COMPOUND SENTENCE
A compound sentence has two or more
independent clauses.
I am a teacher. My brother is a doctor.
I am a teacher, and my brother is a doctor.
She tried to lift the box. The box was too heavy.
She tried to lift the box, but it was too heavy.
He didn’t have enough cash. He paid by credit card.
He didn’t have enough cash, so he paid by credit card.
Words like and, but and so are called
coordinating conjunctions.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
28. The clause in a compound sentences are also known as
co-ordinate clauses because they are connected by co-
ordinating conjunctions like
And
But
Yet
Nor
Either
Neither
Still
Therefore
So
Otherwise
Either...or
Neither...nor Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
29. THERE ARE CORRECT WAYS TO LINK
INDEPENDENT CLAUSES
Solving equations is useful, but studying
grammar is fun.
(The linking word is "but." A comma
precedes the linking word.)
Simple sentences contain one clause, and
compound sentences contain at least two.
(The linking word is "and." A comma
precedes the linking word.)
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
30. THE SHORT LINKERS ARE: seven of them.
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So
Note that if you arrange these guys right, the first
letters spell "fanboys."
These linking words have names. They are
called coordinating conjunctions.
We can call them short linkers. There are only
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
31. Rule
When two independent clauses are joined
by a short linker,
put a comma in front of that linker.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
32. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES INDEPENDENT
CLAUSES ARE JOINED BY LONGER
LINKING WORDS.
Some students can remember the coordinating
conjunctions; however, others can only remember
their favorite pizza toppings.
(The linking word is "however." Note that a
semicolon precedes it and a comma follows it.)
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
33. Grading tests is depressing; consequently, some
teachers drink heavily before doing it.
(Again, note the semicolon before the linking
word and the comma after it.)
These long linking words are
called conjunctive adverbs. we can call
them "long linkers."
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
34. Some common long linkers are:
Consequently
Therefore
However
Nevertheless
Thus
Hence
Henceforth
In fact
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
35. Rule
When two independent clauses are
joined by a long linker, put a semicolon
in front of that linker and a comma
behind it.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
36. THERE IS A THIRD WAY TO PUNCTUATE
COMPOUND SENTENCES.
To study math is a treat; to study grammar is a
thrill.
I like to read; my wife likes to talk.
(Note the absence of a linking word and the use
of a semicolon.)
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
37. Rule
Two independent clauses may be
linked only by a semicolon.
Helpful Hint
When only a semicolon is used to
link independent clauses, make
sure the clauses are thoroughly
parallel in structure and word
choice. Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
38. October days are often beautiful; November
days often aren’t.
(Note that these clauses contain the same
verbs ("are") and the same subjects ("days").
They also contain the adverb "often." These
create symmetry and justify the use of a
semicolon.)
39. The colon is used to separate two
independent clauses when the second
explains or illustrates the first.
I have very little time to learn the language:
my new job starts in five weeks.
All three of their children are involved in
the arts: Richard is a sculptor, Diane is a
pianist, and Julie is a theatre director.
40. COMPLEX SENTENCE
A complex sentence has a dependent clause
and an independent clauses.
When I got home from work yesterday, I watched TV
for an hour.
Let me know if you need any help.
You can’t go out and play until you’ve finished your
work.
Words like when, if and until are called
subordinating conjunctions.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
41. The subordinate clauses of a complex sentences are
connected with the main clause by means of any of the
subordinating conjunctions
When before
Where if
While even if
Who which as if
How unless
Although what
Though that
Even though
As since
Because
That
After
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
42. Dependent clause in a complex
sentence is known as Subordinate
Clause.
If the dependent clause comes
first, we put a comma after it, and
the we write the independent
clause.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
43. RELATIVE CLAUSE
A relative clause uses a relative pronoun like
who, that, which etc.
I know a guy who plays guitar in a rock band.
Synonyms are words that have similar meanings.
The boss wants me to give a speech at the event,
which is tomorrow.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
44. COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCES
A compound-complex sentence has more
than one independent clause and one or
more dependent clauses.
If it rains tomorrow, bring your umbrella ,
or you might catch a cold.
Fr Sujith Mathew CMI
