ENG102 Week 2 note taking skills
Note taking is important for several reasons: it helps students become active listeners and critical thinkers; notes serve as a storehouse of information for studying; and notes have been shown to improve retention of information over time. To take good notes, students should prepare by reviewing the syllabus, understanding the relationship between class material and textbooks, determining what type of tests will cover, finding a study partner, and choosing an effective note taking system like Cornell notes, outlining, mapping, charting, or sentences/paragraphs. The key is to listen actively in class and record information in a clear, organized format that can be easily reviewed later.
Development of word power
Building vocabulary takes effort but does not need to be tedious. Reading widely from books, newspapers, and magazines is the most effective way to naturally increase vocabulary over time. When encountering unfamiliar words, one should look up the word's definition to aid comprehension and commit the new word to memory through review. Following a program of daily study, such as using flashcards, can help accelerate vocabulary growth. A robust vocabulary enhances one's knowledge and ability to communicate clearly.
Multimedia materials
This document discusses different types of multimedia materials used in education, including their advantages and disadvantages. It defines multimedia as the combination of multiple media like text, graphics, sound, animation and video. Print materials like textbooks, magazines and newspapers are described along with their pros and cons. E-materials like e-books and e-journals are also covered. Advantages of e-books include instant access and less physical space needed, while disadvantages include difficulty reading on screens and loss of files. E-journals provide quick access to archives but require technical skills and infrastructure. Overall the document provides an overview of traditional and digital multimedia materials for teaching.
DIGITAL RESOURCES
This document discusses digital resources in education. It defines digital resources as any resource available in a digitized format, such as online collections, scanned images, databases, audio/video files, and storage devices. Digital resources have advantages like being accessible anywhere and easy for students to annotate, but also disadvantages like being expensive to create and update and having technology problems. The conclusion states that digital resources are electronic resources that can be accessed electronically, like e-books and databases, and they have become an important part of modern libraries and education.

TYPES AND PRINCIPLE OF TEACHING AIDS(PEDAGOGY)
The term ‘teaching aid’ is composed of two words— teaching and aid.
Teaching is the act of facilitating learning and aid means help or assistance.
An old proverb also explains the same view:
I hear and forget.
I see and remember
I do and I understand.
Concept test
Concept tests are short, informal assessments administered during class to gauge student understanding of key concepts. They typically involve 1-5 multiple choice questions and are low-stakes. The purpose is to get a snapshot of class comprehension in real-time, especially in large classes. Concept testing is also used early in product development to evaluate ideas before marketing and identify benefits to focus on. It informs priorities like which features are essential, scheduling, and identifying overlooked markets or deficiencies to address.
The Use Of Emails And Blogs In Education
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using emails and blogs in education. Some key advantages of emails include allowing teachers to send assignments when absent and students to submit homework electronically, saving paper and ink. However, some students may not have access to technology or the internet. While blogs allow open discussion and research sharing, they can also lead to arguments and require registration that some may find difficult.
Uses of Ebooks
This presentation provides an overview of e-books, including their increasing demand and use in education. It discusses the advantages of e-books such as portability and searchability. It also describes Pakistan's nascent e-book market and initiatives like eLearn Punjab, which provides educational e-books and materials for free online. The presentation concludes that e-books are more environmentally friendly than printed books as they require no paper or tree cutting.
Objective specification
The document discusses behavioral objectives in education. It defines behavioral objectives as explicit statements about what students should be able to do as a result of instruction. Good behavioral objectives are student-oriented, describe learning outcomes rather than teaching activities, are clear and understandable using observable verbs, and describe how behaviors will be evaluated. Behavioral objectives should specify the learner, targeted behavior, conditions for demonstration, and criteria for acceptable performance. They are useful for guiding teacher instructional design, evaluation and testing, and help students focus their learning and self-assess.
Writing Learning Objectives
This document provides guidance on writing effective learning objectives. It discusses the importance of learning objectives, workshop objectives on writing objectives, the basics of objectives, levels of objectives, and the ABCDS (audience, behavior, condition, degree) of objectives. It covers Bloom's taxonomy, problematic words to avoid, characteristics of good versus bad objectives, and how to assess objectives. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate good and bad objectives. The document concludes with tips and contact information for its author.
Evaluation in Teaching learning process
The document discusses different aspects of evaluation in teaching and learning including the concept, meaning, definition, characteristics, principles, types, and steps. Evaluation is defined as the process of making judgments about the effectiveness of teaching and learning based on criteria and evidence. There are different types of evaluation classified by function (formative, summative, diagnostic, placement), approach (criterion-referenced, norm-referenced), and interpretation (formative, summative). Effective evaluation is systematic, continuous, comprehensive, objective, reliable, and valid. It follows the planning, process, and product phases with steps like determining objectives, selecting instruments, and analyzing results.

Types of Tests,
This document outlines various topics related to language testing, including types of tests, approaches to testing, validity and reliability, and achieving beneficial backwash effects. It discusses proficiency tests, achievement tests, and diagnostic tests. It also covers direct and indirect testing, norm-referenced and criterion-referenced testing, and objective and subjective testing. Validity is defined as accurately measuring the intended abilities, while reliability is consistency of results. Achieving beneficial backwash means testing abilities you want to foster and ensuring students and teachers understand the test.
Bloom taxonomy: Action verbs and Activities
This is a great tool for trainers and instructional designers! For each Bloom Taxonomy step, there’s a list of action verbs that can be used to write the learning objectives. Above the steps are examples of the types of activities and exercises that align with the objective (or “instructional strategies” in instructional design lingo) and can be used in workshops to build learner engagement and promote active learning.

E textbooks
Mass media can reach a wide audience and is a primary means of communication. It includes print media like newspapers and books, as well as electronic media like radio, TV, and the internet. Mass media benefits education by giving all students an equal chance to learn regardless of attributes, and allowing distribution of information over long distances. While it can be misused, mass media is generally a useful tool for grading schools, showing their successes, and praising high-performing students. E-books are digital publications that can be read on computers and devices. They have advantages like low updating costs, multimedia capabilities, and searchability. However, they also have disadvantages like not being as convenient to read as print and risking piracy.
Instructional design
The presentation on Instructional designs is vital for executing teaching learning process effectively.
Checklist
This document discusses checklists, which are tools used to monitor skills, behaviors, or concepts. Checklists reduce human error by providing a structured format to assess completion of tasks. They typically use a yes/no format to indicate if criteria have been demonstrated. Checklists itemize tasks and provide space to mark their completion to ensure consistency. They are used for observations of individuals, groups, or whole classes and can focus on skills, behaviors, concepts, procedures, or activities. The document outlines best practices for constructing effective checklists, such as highlighting critical tasks and providing clear wording.

English for Writing Research Papers by Adrian Wallwork
Publishing your research in an international journal is key to your success in academia. This guide is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English usage. It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.
With easy-to-follow rules and tips, and with examples taken from published and unpublished papers, you will learn how to:
- prepare and structure a manuscript
- increase readability and reduce the number of mistakes you make in English by
writing concisely, with no redundancy and no ambiguity
- plan and organize your paper, and structure each paragraph and each sentence so
that the reader can easily follow the logical build-up towards various conclusions
- write a title and an abstract that will attract attention and be read
- decide what to include in the various parts of the paper (Introduction, Methodology,
Discussion etc)
- select from over 700 useful phrases
- highlight your claims and contribution
- avoid plagiarism and make it 100% clear whether you are referring to your own work
or someone else’s
- choose the correct tenses and style (active or passive)
Writing paragraphs is easier than you think!
A paragraph is a group of related sentences that develop one main idea. It has three key components: unity, development, and coherence. A paragraph contains a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence. The topic sentence introduces the main idea and guides the rest of the paragraph. Supporting sentences provide details, examples, facts, and statistics to illustrate the topic sentence. The concluding sentence restates or concludes the main point of the paragraph.

Critical thinking in college writing
Critical thinking is an important skill for college writing that moves beyond personal opinions to engaging with ideas at an academic level. The document outlines several strategies for students to practice critical thinking when analyzing texts, including: attentively reading with an open mind; noting key terms and ideas; writing initial personal responses; and then connecting ideas to broader academic concepts or other texts. It emphasizes starting with personal perspectives but then extending analysis through techniques like summarizing an author's arguments, identifying contradictions, and proposing new ways of thinking about the topic. The goal is for students to incorporate critical thinking throughout the essay writing process to strengthen their analysis and arguments.
Cause and effect essay
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

It details how Old English emerged as the dominant language by the 7th century and later transformed into Middle English after the Norman conquest of 1066, absorbing elements from Old Norse and Norman French. The modern English language began emerging in the 15th century.
Stages in the writing process
The document outlines the stages of the writing process: pre-writing (generating ideas), writing (planning and drafting), and post-writing (revising, editing, and rewriting). It emphasizes important elements at each stage such as formulating a clear topic sentence, identifying purpose and audience, and ensuring paragraph unity, coherence, and emphasis. The goal is to produce a well-crafted final draft that is ready for publication and reading by others.
