The document discusses factors that influence teaching and learning in a classroom setting. It reviews student factors like attitude, learning style, personality type and motivation that teachers must consider. It also examines teacher factors such as age, attitude, personality, teaching style and goals. The review aims to understand the two most important components in a classroom - the students and teachers. Recent teaching techniques like transformative learning and collaborative learning are discussed, along with their advantages in engaging students, developing critical thinking and preparing them for life outside the classroom.

The Role of Culture in Student Contributions to Online Group WorkJenna Mittelmeier
In the face of the growing numbers of international students in the UK, many universities have encountered challenges to integrating them into the classroom and larger campus community. One strategy for combatting these difficulties is the use of group work. However, group work can also be challenging for students, particularly when they must work with diverse group members. One explanation for these challenges could be that cultural and personality traits influence human behaviour in group work in different ways, leading to mismatched expectations between group members.
In order to test this notion, we used Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions and the Big Five Personality Dimensions to answer the important question: How do culture and personality traits influence the types of contributions that students make in group work? Our study is based on a lab activity in which 58 business school students participated, involving a Harvard Business School case study and using an online chat for communication. Our analysis suggests that cultural traits in particular influence and can predict student group work behaviours.

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.

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.
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”.
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.

1. Quote of the MomentDonald D. Quinn If a doctor, lawyer or dentist, had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn’t want to be there and were causing trouble, and the dentist, lawyer or doctor, without assistance had to treat them all with professional excellence for 9 months, then he might have some conception of a classroom teacher’s job.
2. The Classroom Context: Some Student Factors to Consider Attitude: Open? Enthusiastic? Indifferent? Resistant? Learning Style: Visual? Aural? Verbal? Physical? Logical? Social? Solitary?
6. Question Why this review of the two most important components in a classroom setting?
7. TEACHING TECHNIQUES The Most Frequently Used LECTURE: TEACHER-CENTERED TRANSFER OF INFORMATION EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS + MASTERY OF THE SUBJECT MATTER = AN EFFECTIVE LECTURE

9. Recent Theories, Continuation COLLABORATIVE/COOPERATIVE LEARNING: aims to develop leadership and interpersonal skills; output-oriented EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION, John Dewey; direct experience with the learning environment and content
10. ADVANTAGES OF RECENT TECHNIQUES Engage students cognitively, socially and critically Develop analytical & critical thinking Improve leadership & interpersonal skills Encourage creativity, the use of imagination Prepare students for the bigger world outside of the classroom/school encourage interdependence
11. ADVANTAGES, Continuation Help produce a well-rounded, well-adjusted person Expose students to a variety of situations in and out of the classroom Allow individual inclinations, talents or skills to be tapped Output-oriented – productive in a socially relevant way
12. Quote of the Moment In the context of today’s students---their high-tech gadgets, their over- exposure to media, their changing values and priorities--- teaching has become even more challenging. Relevance, variety and the element of newness are crucial to sustaining their interest and ensuring that learning takes place.
