This document discusses using wikis for world language instruction. It provides an overview of a workshop on wikis and world languages, including introductions, an overview of wikis and their advantages for language learning, and a demonstration of setting up a wiki using PBWorks. Participants learn the basics of wikis and are shown how to set up pages, add content, upload files, invite users, and control access on their wiki. The goal is to help teachers learn how to effectively incorporate wikis into their language teaching.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.
3. Introductions
Donna Shelton, Associate Professor of Spanish at
NSU and Web 2.0 geek
Please introduce yourselves to those around you
and discuss your goals for this workshop. How do
you plan to use your wiki in your teaching?
Be ready to introduce another participant to the rest
of the group
4. Workshop overview
We’re going to use PBWorks as our wiki hosting
site for this demonstration
You are also welcome to use Wikispaces
You should consider privacy issues and your district’s or
institution’s policies in setting up your wiki
As a part of learning what can be incorporated into
a wiki, we’ll also learn about other Web 2.0 tools
We’ll start with the basics, but then we can
individualize according to your needs
5. What’s a wiki?
A website that multiple people can create and edit
They can be private or public
They can be simple or quite complex
Text only
One page or multiple pages
Images, videos, maps, and more and more
Let’s watch a short video that explains it
6. Wikis and world languages
Wikis have a number of advantages for language
instruction
Teachers can use them to post resources and
assignments
Students can use them on collaborative projects
Wikis are the perfect repository for multi-media
learning objects
7. What do you want to do?
Before we set up our wikis, let’s talk about what you
want to do
Who’s going to use your wiki?
Will your wiki be text only?
Do you want a wiki with just one page or multiple
pages?
What bells and whistles do you want?
Your preferences will help me tailor the workshop to
your needs
8. Let’s get started. Go to
www.pbworks.com and click on
the For Education link at the top.
9. There’s one thing to know before
you set up your account:
