Gossip is an integral facet of the social and narrative landscapes of 19th century novels. When two or more characters gather on the page to discuss a third (or additional) character(s), their conversation provides narrative exposition, illustrates the personalities and sentiments of the gossipers themselves (as well as their subjects of discussion), and is frequently a spur to dramatic action. In the humanities and social sciences, gossip has been conceptualised both as a subversive communicative mode and as a socially conservative one; meanwhile, social network analysis research has examined how the act of gossiping affects individuals and groups, and has identified network structures that are characteristic of gossip and its spread through a community. Combining these approaches, this paper utilises the corpus of literary social network analyses that have been prepared by the interdisciplinary Nation, Genre and Gender project, a large-scale survey of 19th century British and Irish novels combining computer science and humanities methodologies. We identify a number of scenes in these novels in which gossip occurs, and utilise these as prototypical social networks in order to investigate how gossip manifests throughout the wider corpus. Our focus is on the identification of theoretical "gossip structures" in the networks, and whether these are associated with particular aspects of the novel, such as its genre, the gender of the author or the attributes of the characters involved.

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.

2. CAROLYN KEENE: BIOGRAPHY
Carolyn Keene was born on July 10, 1905. While growing up she would
venture out into the woods and fields behind her farm in Iowa. Nancy
Drew, one of her characters, was based off of many of the qualities that
Carolyn Keene developed throughout her life. She was very successful
by writing the first twenty three of thirty Nancy Drew novels. She has
incorporated many of her wild adventures created not only in her mind,
but in the woods and fields located behind her family’s farm. Along with
the Nancy Drew series, she wrote columns, news articles, and other
novels. Unfortunately, on May 28, 2002 she passed away, but her
accomplishments are and will still be acknowledged by all generations.

expected, which made the novel seem slow and
boring.
