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.
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.

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.

Origin of life
1.
2. Diversity and Unity are the unifying themes of life
Structurally diverse organisms are functionally similar
Unity among organisms is apparent the integral processes of all life
– growth and development, various types of energy procurement,
reproduction, etc.
THE ORIGIN OF LIFE
Diversity and unity are fundamental units of the theory of
Evolution.
Evolution is the plausible explanation for the commonalities and
variations that exist among organisms.
3. Theories on the ORIGIN OF LIFE
Basic enigma of life: HOW DID LIFE ORIGINATE?
Nothing is directly known about the origin of life, the answer
to this question are exceedingly complex and at best only
tentative.
Theories of the origin of life: Still a
matter of speculation
Several intelligent explanations
account for the origin of life on earth
4. Religion
The origin of life must be attributed to an
agency outside nature called a creator.
Mythology
Philosophy
1.THEORY OF SPECIAL CREATION
support or acceptance mostly
due to faith rather than
experimental or scientific
evidences.
Supporters recently created a
new discipline called “creation
science‖.
5. Proposed that universe started from a primeval fireball and had
been expanding and cooling since its inception 10-20 billion years
ago (bya).
Life originated from outer planets in the form of a resistant spore
(cosmozoa) propelled by radiation pressure, reached earth and
started the first form of life.
Idea was proposed by Richter in
1865. The theory did not gain any
support. Needs evidence for the
existence of ET life.
2. Cosmozoic or Interplanetary
The cosmozoic theory speculates that life
arrived on Earth as bacterial spores,
perhaps enclosed in a comet.
6. 3.ABIOGENESIS (SPONTANEOUS GENERATION)
600 BC up to 2nd half of 19th century – believed that life could arise
spontaneously from nonliving substances.
Living organisms originated in sea lime under the influence of
factors in the environment s.a. heat, air, sun.
Thales (624-548 BC) ---―oceanic
water was the mother from which all
living forms originated‖.
The origin of life without apparent cause
7. 3.ABIOGENESIS (SPONTANEOUS GENERATION)
Aristotle’s Hypothesis
Aristotle (384-322 BC)--- proposed
that living forms are animated forms of
non-living matter.
-Vital forces operate constantly and
improve the living world
Empedocles (540-433 BC) ---―life
originated by itself from non living matter
and imperfect forms were replaced by
perfect forms‖
8. Biogenesis. Every living thing on earth is the offspring of other living things.
―Life comes from life‖ is referred to as the law of biogenesis, which asserts that
modern organisms do not spontaneously arise in nature from non-life.
Louis Pasteur
Working hypothesis: life arose from pre-existing life
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Believed that microorganisms arose
from pre-existing organisms.
4. BiogenesisTheory
Francisco Redi
opposed abiogenesis
proposed that life could arise only
from pre-existing living things (thru
experiment) .
Louis Pasteur was the first to
be able to prove this theory
proposed that the organisms
that are not visible to the
naked eye are present in air.
9. Broth is boiled. Broth is free of
microorganisms
for a year.
Curved neck
is removed.
Broth is
teeming with
microorganisms
.
Pasteur’s Experiment
demonstrated that fermentation is caused by the growth
of micro-organisms, and that the emergent growth of bacteria in
nutrient broths is not due to spontaneous generation
10. OBSERVATIONS: Flies land on meat that is left uncovered. Later, maggots appear on the meat.
HYPOTHESIS: Flies produce maggots.
PROCEDURE
Controlled Variables: jars,
type of meat, location,
temperature, time
Manipulated Variables:
gauze covering that keeps
flies away from meat
Responding Variable:
whether maggots appear
CONCLUSION: Maggots form only when flies come in contact with meat.
Spontaneous generation of maggots did not occur.
Redi’s Experiment
11. 5. Natural or Marine (Primeval Soup)
Proposed that life did not originate in the surface of the
earth but deep beneath the sea in or around hydrothermal
vents.
In 1929 by J.B.S. Haldane;
suggested that life was
the result of UV radiation
converting methane,
ammonia and water into
the first organic
compounds in the early
earth oceans.
12. 6. Physico-chemical or coacervate droplet
theory (Oparin and Haldane)
Chemical evolution:
1. Formation of simple organic compounds
the primitive inorganic molecules of earth interacted and combined
with one another to form simple organic compounds. These were in
the form of simple sugars, fatty acids, glycerol, amino acids and
nitrogen bases.
13. 2. Formation of complex organic compounds
-Simple sugars combined, form complex polysaccharides (starch,
cellulose). Fatty acids and glycerol molecules combined to form
lipids. Amino acids combined forming polypeptides and proteins.
-Purines and pyrimidines combined with simple sugars and phosphates
to form nucleotides, which then formed nucleic acids.
Harold C. Urey and Stanley L. Miller
(1953) – conducted an experiment
simulating the primitive condition of the
Earth.
− discovered that a variety of amino
acids and organic acids were formed
14. Urey-Miller hypothesis
Proposed that amino acids can
be synthesized outside living
systems.
They conducted experiments
in which a gas mixture
containing hydrogen, ammonia,
methane and water vapor was
subjected to electric spark.
It yielded aldehydes, amino
acids and carboxylic acids.
15. 3. Formation of molecular aggregates (Coacervates):
•Oparin and Fox proposed that the complex organic molecules synthesized
abiotically on the primitive earth formed large spherical aggregates as
cluster of complex organic molecules bound by fatty acids and divide.
•They remained suspended as droplets in sea water
•The coacervates had all the basic properties of living cells like,
metabolism, growth etc.
•However they lacked the complexity of the living cells like organelles.
•Thus these particles with proteins as enzymes and ATP as source of
energy were the first structures at the margin of non-living and living.
4. Formation of first primitive living cell:
16. Theories on the ORIGIN OF LIFE
Basic enigma of life:
Nothing is directly known about the origin of life, the answer
to this question are exceedingly complex and at best only
tentative.
Theories of the origin of life: Still a
matter of speculation
Several intelligent explanations
account for the origin of life on earth
HOW DID LIFE ORIGINATE?
17. • the earth is about 4.5 billion years old,
• the earliest known cells are found in 3.5 billion year old rocks
• the earliest known eukaryotic cells date to 1.5 billion years
• the earliest multicellular animals date to 650 million years
• the earliest land animals date to about 450 million years
• the earliest mammals date to about 230 million years
• 65 m.y. ago there was a mass extinction of many living things
• the human family tree diverged from the other apes about 4.5 million
years ago
18. Fossils
Remains or traces of prehistoric life
preserved remains of animals, plants or their parts
Can be of entire organisms or a part which got
buried, a mould or cast, foot prints or imprints on a
stone.
19. Fossils
• Physical evidence of organisms from the past
• Provides visible evidence that takes us back in time and shows organisms
have changed.
• The fossil record provides incomplete information about the history
of life.
• Paleontologists are scientists who collect and study fossils.
• Over 99% of all species that have lived on Earth have become extinct.
• Where are all these fossils??
20. Careful study of fossils
Opens a window into the lives of organisms that existed long ago and
provides information about the evolution of life over billions of years
The strata of one location can often be correlated with strata at
another location by the presence of index fossils
Index fossils (also known as guide fossils, indicator fossils or zone
fossils) are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods (or
faunal stages).
21. Index fossils. Shelled animals called brachiopods were
extremely abundant in ancient seas. Their fossils are useful
indicators of the relative ages of rock strata in different
locations
22. Methods of fossilization
Petrifaction- Turn into
stones.
This is due to formation
of sedimentary rocks
under water.
soft parts: disappear;
hard parts: preserved
due to mineralization.
muscles and other
soft organs: get
mineralized and form
rocky fossils.
23. Preservation of foot prints
prints, if left undisturbed: hardened and form rocky
fossils.
such imprints can provide clues regarding the
body form and characteristics of the extinct
animal.
A dinosaur footprint
24. Preservation in ice
Entire animals can get
frozen and may be
preserved
Body parts remain
intact without change.
E.g. woolly mammoth
from Siberia
25. Moulds and cast
Fossilized moulds are found in volcanic ashes.
Several invertebrate fossils had been obtained as
moulds.
provide details about the exact physical features of
the animal.
Natural casts of shelled
invertebrates
Natural mould of a trilobite
26. Types of fossils
• Petrified – cavities and
pores are filled with
precipitated mineral
matter
• Formed by replacement –
cell material is removed
and replaced with mineral
matter
• Mold – shell or other
structure is buried and
then dissolved by
underground water
• Cast – hollow space of a
mold is filled with mineral
matter
Fossils: evidence of past life
27. Fossils: evidence of past life
Types of fossils
• Carbonization – organic
matter becomes a thin
residue of carbon
• Impression – replica of
the fossil's surface
preserved in fine-
grained sediment
• Preservation in amber –
hardened resin of
ancient trees surrounds
an organism
28. Trace – aka ichnofossils.
May be impressions made
on the substrate by an
organism. For ex: burrows,
footprints and feeding
marks, and root cavities.
Coprolites – fossil dung
and stomach contents
Gastroliths – stomach
stones used to grind food
by some extinct reptiles
Indirect fossil evidence includes:
29. Dating Fossils
Relative Dating
-Rock layers form in
order by age—the
oldest on the bottom,
with more recent
layers on top.
30. Radioactive dating
(Absolute Dating)
the use of half-lives to determine
the age of a sample.
A half-life is the length of time
required for half of the radioactive
atoms (C, N) in a sample to decay.
Dating Fossils
31. Early members of the animal fossil record
◦ Include the Ediacaran fauna
Important fossils
These animals were the precursors of organisms with
skeletons.
38. Rodhocetus, an
ancient whale, lived
about 47 million
years ago.
Rodhocetus ankle bone
(left), a modern
artiodactyl, pronghorn
antelope ankle bone
(right).
Its distinctive ankle
bones point to a
close evolutionary
connection to
artiodactyls.
Important fossils
40. Evolutionary significance of fossils
1. Fossils tell us the full story of
evolution. Fossil studies reveal
the course of evolution.
2. Through fossils the origin and
evolution of specific groups of
organisms can be understood e.g.
Horse evolution.
3. Fossils provide us clues regarding
climatic conditions of various
prehistoric periods.
4. Study of fossils simplifies
phylogenetic discussions.
5. Some fossils like woolly
mammoth can provide vital clues
regarding genetic make up.
