07 Asia TEFL: Web-based video self-analysis of conversation and presentationsgetchan
Outline of a project during 2005 -2007 when students in an EFL conversation class videotaped conversations and presentations, analysed them, and practiced points in order to improve.
Writing Step-by-Step is a two-book writing series designed for young students of
English. Expanding on students’ knowledge of core vocabulary and fundamental
structures, this series introduces higher level, more expressive vocabulary, and
more complex structures to help emerging writers better express their ideas.
Students are also introduced to paragraph form and the basics of the writing
process, including essential brainstorming methods. Throughout each unit,
activities progress gradually step by step-from vocabulary building and structure
practice to writing sentences and their own fully developed paragraphs. The
series introduces students to increasingly complex paragraphs-from descriptive
and narrative to argumentative to parallel students developing fluency.
Features
Unit themes and topics that young learners can relate to
Carefully leveled vocabulary and structures
Wide variety of activity types to maintain interest
Guided practice with important steps in the writing process
Exposure to different paragraph types

In this webinar, we introduce the concept of translanguaging in the EFL classroom which is the simultaneous use of more than one language to make meaning. Through the presentation, we will provide examples of how teachers have used translanguaging practices to help students learn English. These examples are taken from observations and research done in Puerto Rico and Peru. It will also be discussed the role that Spanish has played in EFL classrooms and how it has been used to bridge the gap between two languages.

In many English language programs, learners of multiple proficiency levels are grouped together in the same class. Teachers face the challenge of achieving course objectives and meeting the diverse needs of their students. This webinar addresses these challenges and offers classroom strategies to facilitate language learning for students of different levels. Participants will also come away with tips for simplifying planning and managing multi-level classes.
In this webinar, we address some challenges that students with learning differences, such as dyslexia, may endure during their foreign language studies, while offering practical advice on how to offer guidance and assistance. For students with learning differences such as dyslexia, instruction needs to be explicit, direct, and cumulative. Students with learning differences also greatly benefit from a student-centered classroom that is engaging and incorporates multi-modal learning approach to language learning. While the suggestions in this webinar are developed for students with learning differences, they are teaching practices that can support the academic success of all students.

Teachers often focus on delivering a lesson plan based on the content of the Learning Objectives, but how do we know if students really learned the content? If students didn’t learn, what do we do next? This webinar on Assessment for Learning will present several tools and techniques that help teachers identify those students lacking comprehension, as well as how to better support them.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

Content and Language Objectives.
The assessment along the way is called Formative Assessment.

25. Formative assessments are NOT graded.
Formative assessments DO:
Help students really understand the learning goals
Show the teacher and students evidence of learning
Allow for feedback between teachers and students
Help students be responsible for their own learning
Help students learn from each other
Inform the teacher’s instructional decisions

SUMMARY
SAMPLE Lesson Plan
Topic: Sports
Learning Objective: ?
Task 1: I will show to the students 5 pictures related to different sports
