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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Methodological recommendations for the integration of the English
language in the pre-school educational process
SALASPILS 2015
2. Bilingual methodology is used to integrate English language in the pre-school game-
lessons. Training and educational processes, as well as communication is being held
simultaneously in two languages. At the same time the use of two languages in the learning
process emphasizes and explains the cultural identity of the two nations, promoting mutual
understanding and respect. In addition, the mainstream principle is complied by implementing
tasks throughout the day.
Integrating English language in the pre-school education process, the emphasis is
placed on the basic communicative competencies, as a natural language acquisition at this age
is more important than academic exercises. Children at this age learn by doing (playing), and
one should not forget about it, integrating English language.
A wise, stimulating and enriching cocktail of techniques, activities, procedures is a
successful answer for the way in facing the process of teaching and learning.
It is taken into consideration that methodological approaches are only tools. Their
effectiveness depends much more on the teachers' interpretation. Teachers do not depend on
methods; they are perfectly able to use them flexibly to suit their teaching context. In other
words, there is no ideal method, neither approach, nor a book, but the interaction of many
different parts which work as a puzzle items to complete the whole picture of teaching a
foreign language.
Activities are simple and short. Children’s attention is not sustained over long time, it
is easy to distract them, and so the teacher is doing everything to attract children's interest.
Children cannot sit for a long time in one place, so the work is planned with the ability to
move around the group space.
All activities are organized, ranging from the simplest and moving to more complex
and abstract concepts.
The children have the possibility of choosing from a large array of activities thus
spontaneously gaining new ideas, concepts and knowledge.
An individual approach to each child is used, according to his knowledge and interest
level. Thus enabling children to develop language skills at different levels and contributing to
its development.
Motivation is one of the most important parts of the learning process, children are
motivated, encouraged and supported, it helps to successfully learn the language and create a
positive attitude towards it.
This material summarizes methodological recommendations for the integration of
English language in the pre-school educational process developed by project partners from
Latvia, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Spain, Italy and Turkey.
3. English language learning methods and techniques:
1. Rhymes
Children really like rhymes, they are fun, they are easy to remember because they are
short and rhythmic, a child who has learned rhymes already does speak English, not
only knows a few words, it motivates the child.
It is important to create a rhyme stocks, one or just a few are quickly getting
preschoolers bored. Therefore every week children are introduced to some new
rhymes.
When telling rhymes, attention should be paid to the expression of the voice and body
language.
It is important to adapt to the pace of the child, children need many repetitions until
they memorize the text of the rhymes, children should not be rushed.
The teacher slowly counts the rhyme, playing through the activities of the rhyme,
illustrating the meaning of the action, certain images or objects. If rhyme has no
concrete action, then it is to invent simple actions as physical participation helps to
remember better, that also allows you to feel good. The teacher emphasizes the
important words, as well as the words that make up the rhythm and, where necessary,
whispers the translation.
When the rhyme is well known, children can run it through the round, that is to say,
every child recites over the row or word.
When children have learned a number of rhymes, teacher can organize performances,
calling parents or other children and teachers.
2. Musical games: listening to music and singing songs
Music helps motivating the children, it is easier to remember the words of the song, the music
and rhythm helps. Music helps children to learn English.
It is important to choose both rhythmic and melodic songs with the text appropriate to
the children's level of knowledge, so the children sing songs with interest
Before starting to teach children a song in English, the children are listening to this
song as listening material. After listening to the songs teacher interprets the content of
songs for children, explains every word, emphasizing the words and / or phrases,
4. which are intended to acquire, and then pronounces words with the children.
Teacher teaches a new song a'capella. The song is sung by a voice – a principle of an
echo, focusing on singing melodies and words. If some words won’t sound correctly,
they are repeated several times.
To make learning more interesting for children, it is continued with the
accompaniment. Teacher proposes to sing songs accompanied by movement, rhythm
games or instrumental accompaniment.
The teacher gives parents information on sources where they can find songs that
children learn, so that children can sing those songs at home.
3. Dramatization and theatricality games
Teacher stages a performance in English or with English elements with children
involving acquired songs, games and rhymes.
The teacher reads the story for children in English. The teacher discusses with the
children what they have learned from the heard. The same story reading in Latvian

In order for performance to be more interesting and for children easier to memorize
the newly acquired vocabulary, the teacher searches for the appropriate musical games
and songs.
At first the children play the performance with the finger puppets. Roles are divided
among children, children can choose their roles, which they like, each role gets its
own text, and the children repeat it. Children play all songs and games in free
moments. Later the same performance is shown with the help of the head masks.
Example: Children are sitting in a circle listening to the song; the children pass the ball in
a circle when the song is switched off, the child at which the ball is say the word in
English, which he remembers from the game lessons.
5. 4. Games with finger puppets, role games
Teacher and children involve the English words and phrases in role games, motion
games, and games with musical accompaniment.
When singing a song/counting a rhyme is complemented by appropriate movements,
the children memorize words and phrases in a foreign language even better.
You can:
