This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

Features of Speech
Speech is fast
Critical level: the level of speech rate above which
comprehension becomes impossible.
Speech is variable. When words are woven
together, they often take on different forms.
Word boundaries are blurry (creates comprehension
breakdown).
Speech has to be processed in real time.
(Renandya, W. & Farrell, T, 2011)

9. Hot Topics
Extensive Listening (Renandya, W. & Farrell, T., 2011)
“Strategy training places a heavy burden on
teachers, an extensive listening approach in the same
vein as an extensive reading approach should be
adopted.” (p. 52).
Podcasts: Consult handout resources
Videos: Consult handout resources
Songs/Music: “Last One Standing” and “Catch It!”
10. Hot topics cont.

12. Teacher’s role
EFL Context
Teacher may be the sole source of “Input” (Teacher-
centered)
Encourage Ss to use outside sources
e.g., TV, movies, music, and so on
ESL Context
Teacher is mainly a resource/guide (Student-centered)
Ss are constantly exposed to Native English speakers
13. Non-Conversation Based
Activities
Difficulties
No opportunities to interact with speakers and no
opportunities to pick up on non-verbal cues.
Unable to catch the sounds or the words but also
missing the gist or important details of the spoken
text.
(Renandya, W. & Farrell, T, 2011)
14. Catch It!
Ss listen to a song, write down the words and phrases they
hear, and compare their lists with a partner.
Some results included “increased interest in using music
to study English outside of class…students became more
aware of how to take more active approach to language
learning outside of class.” (Lieske, p. 91).
Ideas
Use Pre-activity Questionnaire to gauge music interest and
use for English language learning.
Use a Post-activity Questionnaire to find out more about
music used to learn English
15. Last One Standing

16. Conclusion
Listening may be the hardest of the 4 skills
because one cannot control how others speak.
It is important to foster awareness of listening
strategies (metacognitive)
Use authentic materials
(tv, movies, songs, podcasts, radio, etc.)
