This document summarizes a workshop on publishing pedagogically. It discusses why academics write and publish, including to further their own and others' learning and to contribute to their field. It outlines strategies for improving writing quality, such as writing every day, shutting down inner critics, using concrete examples, and crafting elegant sentences. The document also notes barriers to writing like perfectionism and heavy workloads, and recommends writing groups and mentors to help overcome these barriers.
This presentation examines the necessity of encouraging writing across the curriculum areas. Writing activities have to be engaging, meaningful and help to develop the writing skills of the audience. These slides examine how and why one should teach writing across the curriculum.

SOARES, DORIS DE A. Developing critical writing skills in L2. BRAZ-TSOL Newsl...Doris Soares
Teaching L2 writing skills entails much more than simply setting a topic, collecting and correcting students’ writing and giving it back hoping that learners will write better texts next time. Therefore, we must help our students reflect upon all the elements involved in the making of a text. In other words, we must empower them to critically assess writing tasks and to critically read their own productions in order to improve them.

New Developments in Academics and Ethics
What new
developments has the world’s literature continuous evolution brought? For instance, it is evident that new systems of education come with new developments in language and generally new ways of doing things. First, there is improvement of study materials such as the development of plagiarism checker. Plagiarism checker has boosted standards of education by ensuring that students deliver original work and free from grammatical errors. Secondly, there is creation of clear writing instructions
and consistent conduct important in the education field. In addition, a ‘profession’s ethics’ are continuously unfolding conclusions of a more or less conscious discussion. It explains how members of a given profession should work together to achieve the common and preferred goal. According to (Davis, 2002), it is the product of a social contract which various parties share a common profession.
Proper Research Techniques
Proper research involves adhering to the set ethical norms set by scholars. This is because norms promote and develop the research aims, knowledge, truth and evidence. In research, there can be a wide range of ethical issues. These issues range from plagiarism to confidentiality. One of the most discussed factors is plagiarism. It is a complex ethical problem that has affected the performance of students learning institutions. The availability of plagiarism detection software has made it possible to monitor student assignments, exams and research papers (Hayen & Laverty, 2015). It discourages the culture where students are tempted to copy other author’s work.
The creation of plagiarism checkers also improved student’s learning and research skills by promoting creativity. For example, students are required to submit original work, which reflects their creativity. Ethical research conduct is also required since it provides guidelines set forth by the IRB on how research papers should be handled. It guide learners in writing based on their own composed formats. However, ethical conduct in research is a choice, and students should choose to research by ensuring they abide by ethical conducts stipulated.
Although students are encouraged to think broadly, using the correct citation and giving credit to sources is the right thing to do. Additionally, the ethical way of researching and writing about a certain topic while using multiple sources gives credit to any information borrowed from any of those sources. In line with (Davis, 2002), for every writing format chosen by a learner, he or she needs to observe all the guidelines as provided. Some of the popular writing formats include the American Psychological Association (APA), ...

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.

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.

12. Why articles don’t get published
(Harland 2015)
Problems in rank order Explanation
1. Research article inconsequential Adds little; doesn’t develop new ideas;
implications weak, unlikely others will
learn from it
2. Lack of integration Does not engage critically with what is out
there, makes poor use of theory, doesn’t
contribute to theory
3. Poor use of evidence There is big gaps between claims and
evidence
4. Structure Reads like a literature review of a chapter
5. Grammar/meaning Expression is poor.

16. Academic writing can be exhilarating, or quietly pleasurable,
or plain hard work. In common with our students, it is
something we – academics – must do, usually alone.
Sometimes we may feel ourselves resisting the imperative to
write; at other times we may experience the frustration of
planning to write yet never quite getting there. So much
seems to come between us and our writing.
(Grant 2006, 483)

28. This paper describes a process of analysis and the development of representational
strategies in a narrative study. It takes the reader through the often hidden steps
involved in doing research, and unveils some of the problematics of narrative and
voice. Within the context of rural post-Apartheid South Africa, the researchers were
positioned as outsiders, bordercrossing into the lives of the researched, in the
name of articulating their voices. The ethical dilemmas of this kind of research are
examined, as is the perspective that the researcher is positioned, not as an
objective, all-seeing eye, but as a re-presenter from 'somewhere'. The heart of the
paper analyses the development of different strategies of analysis, including poetry
and various mapping, graphic and matrix techniques. Representational models are
developed progressively, in response to the dilemmas and complexities of re-telling
'a' story, and the particular challenge of capturing the contradictory, partial and
fluid nature of each teacher's story. The research process culminates in a model
which allows for a reading of each narrative as complex, nuanced and intrinsically
ambivalent. Against the backdrop of a wider study of teacher narratives (on which
this paper is based) and the policy context of education, some conclusions about
the implications of narrative study for teacher development in South Africa are
drawn.

29. Evidence from 73 programmes in 14 U.K universities sheds light on the typical
student experience of assessment over a three-year undergraduate degree. A
previous small-scale study in three universities characterised programme
assessment environments using a similar method. The current study analyses data
about assessment patterns using descriptive statistical methods, drawing on a
large sample in a wider range of universities than the original study. Findings
demonstrate a wide range of practice across programmes: from 12 summative
assessments on one programme to 227 on another; from 87% by examination to
none on others. While variations cast doubt on the comparability of U.K degrees,
programme assessment patterns are complex. Further analysis distinguishes
common assessment patterns across the sample. Typically, students encounter
eight times as much summative as formative assessment, a dozen different types
of assessment, more than three quarters by coursework. The presence of high
summative and low formative assessment diets is likely to compound students’
grade orientation, reinforcing narrow and instrumental approaches to learning.
High varieties of assessment are probable contributors to student confusion about
goals and standards. Making systematic headway to improve student learning from
assessment requires a programmatic and evidence-led approach to design,
characterised by dialogue and social practice.
