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.
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.
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.

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.

2. In general, matching items consist
of a column of stimuli presented on the
left side of the exam page and a column
of responses placed on the right side of
the page.
Students are required to match the
response associated with a given
stimulus.
3. Directions: On the line to the left of each
factual statement, write the letter of the
principle which best explains the statement’s
occurrence. Each principle may be used more
than once.
Example:
4. Column A
Factual Statements
__1. Fossils of primates first
appear in the Cenozoic rock
strata while trilobite remains are
found in the Proterozoic rocks.
__2. The Arctic and the Antarctic
regions are sparsely populated.
__3. Plants have no nervous
system.
__4. Large coal beds exist in
Alaska.
Column B
Principles
a. There have been profound
changes in the climate on
earth.
b. Coordination and
integration of action is
generally slower in plants
than in animals.
c. There is an increasing
complexity structure and
functions from lower to
higher forms of life.
d. All life comes from life and
produces its own kind of
living organism.
e. Light is limiting factor life.
5. In matching items, a good practice is
to switch to the matching format only
when it becomes apparent that the same
alternatives are being repeated in several
multiple choice items.
6. Which test item is least useful for educational diagnosis?
a. True-false item*
b. Short-answer item
c. Multiple choice item
Which test item provides the highest score by guessing?
a. True-false item*
b. Short-answer item
c. Multiple choice item
Which test item is difficult to score objectively?
a. True-false item
b. Short-answer item*
c. Multiple choice item
Which test item measures the greatest variety of learning outcomes?
a. True-false item
b. Short-answer item
c. Multiple choice item*
Examples:
7. 1. Require short period of reading and
response time, allowing the teacher to
cover more content.
2. Provide objective measurement of student
achievement or ability.
3. Provide highly reliable test score.
4. Provide scoring efficiency and accuracy.
Advantages of Using
Matching Test Items
8. 1. Have difficulty measuring learning objectives
requiring more than simple recall of
information.
2. Are difficult to construct due to the problem of
selecting a common set of stimuli and responses.
Disadvantages of Using Matching
Test Items
9. 1. Include directions which clearly state the basis
for matching the stimuli with the responses.
Explain whether or not a response can be used
more than once and indicate where to write the
answer.
Poor: Directions: Match the following:
Better: Directions: On the line to the left of each
identifying location and characteristics in Column
I, write the letter of the country in column II that is
best defined. Each country in column II may be
used more than once.
Suggestions for Writing
Matching Test Items
10. 2. Use only homogeneous material in matching items.
Poor: Directions: Match the following.
1. __ Water A. NaCI
2. __ Discovered Radium B. Fermi
3. __ Salt C. NH3
4. __ Year of the First Nuclear Fission D. H2O
by man E. 1942
5. __ Ammonia F. Curie
11. Better: Directions: On the line to the left of each compound in
column I, write the letter of the compound’s formula
presented in column II. Use each formula only once.
Column I Column II
1. ___ Water A. H2SO4
2. ___ Salt B. HCI
3. ___ Ammonia C. NaCI
4. ___ Sulfuric Acid D. H2O
E. H2HCI
12. 3. Arrange the list of responses in some systematic order if
possible - chronological, alphabetical.
Directions: On the line to the left of each definition I, write the letter of
the defense mechanism in column II that is described. Use each defense
mechanism only once.
Column I Column II
Undesirable Desirable
___ 1. Hunting for reasons to A. Rationalization A. Denial of reality
support one’s belief.
___ 2. Accepting the values B. identification B. Identification
and norms of others as one’s
own even if they are contrary
to previously to previously held C. Projection C. Introjection
values.
13. ___ 3. Attributing to other’s D. Introjection D. Projection own
unacceptable impulses
thoughts and desires.
___ 4. Ignoring disagreeable E. Denial of realty E. Rationalization
situations, thoughts
and desires.
14. 4. Avoid grammatical or other clues to the correct response.
Poor: Directions: match the following in order to complete the
sentences on the left.
___ 1. Igneous rocks are formed A. a hardness of 7
___ 2. The formation of coal requires B. with crystalline
rock
___ 3. Ageode is filled C. a metamorphic rock
___ 4. Feldspar is classified as D. through the solid
formation of molten
15. Better: Avoid sentence completion due to grammatical clues.
Note:
1. Keep matching items brief, limiting the list of stimuli
to under 10.
2. Include more responses than stimuli to help prevent
answering through the process of elimination.
. 3. When possible, reduce the amount of reading time by
including only
short phrases or single words in the response list.
