The film poster uses various techniques to relate to its American audience and thriller genre. It features a figure resembling the Statue of Liberty to set the scene in the USA. Dark blue and red tones create a sense of danger, while misty effects make the environment unclear and fear-inducing. American flag colors and a political message attract audiences interested in such topics. Masked figures and antagonists are focused on to market the shock and thrills central to the film.

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.

Posters relev
1. The film is notorious for incorporating unknown actors to ensure a more realistic story, this
serving importance due to the masked identities on the poster. The movie is set in the U.S.A,
the person at the front of the triangular formation appearing similar to the 'Statue of Liberty',
one of the most iconic American landmarks. This is done to relate to the American audience
whilst setting the scene. It relates to the thriller genre as the sketched-appearing figure is
sharp,eyes crossed out to indicate death.
Following the typical conventions of a thriller, the
background shows an urban setting.The colour correction
uses blue tones to hint at danger and an unapproachable
environment whilst oranges and reds resemble flames and
imply havoc and ransom within the film.The misty
appearance also do this, appearing smokey and blurring
the viewers view, creating fear of the unknown.
The colour scheme of the poster
sticks to that of the American flag,
further relating to the American
audience and introducing the politics
of the film.This attracts an American
audience as well as one worldwide:
America being glorified as one of the
most wealthy countries. It also
attracts a more mature audience, it
being of a complex subject which
questions the nature of the
public.The mixed-media appears
cartoonistic and brings the element
of propaganda to the poster,
enhancing the idea of "The Purge"
being a real event and emphasizing
the political nature.
Hard lighting creates horror and emphasizes the
theme of thriller in the poster. The characters appear
harsh and dangerous, steering away a youthful
audience and intriguing the target audience of young
adults upwards. Mise-en-scene of masked costumes
hide morality and identity of the characters, proving
the antagonists to be threatening and
thrillful.Focusing on the antagonists in the poster is
important as the main aim of the film is to shock and
thrill,marketing it correctly in it’s genre.
The motif of the American flag is found once again in
the title of the film.Emphasis on the word "purge"is
created through a larger font, making the vocabulary
appear more violent and noticeable alongside the
other words.This creates a fear around the"purge"
found in the film, intriguing the audience to find out
what it is.It also helps returning fans to identify the
movie in it's trademark font.
Following the typical conventions of a thriller, the
background shows an urban setting.The colour correction
uses blue tones to hint at danger and an unapproachable
environment whilst oranges and reds resemble flames and
imply havoc and ransom within the film.The misty
appearance also do this, appearing smokey and blurring
the viewers view, creating fear of the unknown. "Coming
Soon" is shown clearly in the center of the page, allowing
the viewer to be informed of the release date.
This tagline uses direct address: "America invites you". This
is done to make the audience feel more inclined to view
the film and makes it appear more intriguing and personal.
The use of "America" appeals worldwide: the American
Dream an ideal desired by many still to this day. "Tradition"
further makes the experience seem more inclusive and
exclusive.The mention of "night" fits with the genre:
danger conventionally occurring at night.
2. The background of the image is white, keeping the
main focus on the star of the film. This hints that the
location of the film is insignificant, the main story
being specific to the person rather than her
surroundings (proving it to be a psychological thriller)
Dark eye makeup mimics the eyes of a swan, fitting
with the title of the film and storyline. Her skin is
painted and airbrushed white, once again mimicking
a swan whilst allowing the dark eyes lips and
contours of her face to stand out more and appear
more impressive and demon-like.
Red eyes match lips to create the sense of danger
and inform the genre of the film. The red tones are
continued throughout the poster and is used on
font to resemble blood and gore: found in the
thriller genre.
The only parts of the photo used that is focused
are her eyes, ensuring that they are the most
dynamic and thrilling as possible. The crown
matches the silver and black tones of the eyes
with sharp ridges which appear slightly like
knifes, hinting at danger in the thriller genre.
The font is narrow and sharp, indicating horror alongside the
deep black contrasting with the white background. In capitals, it
is clearly understood and centred to capture the viewers
attention.
The cast and crew are listed in the billing block less
obviously in this poster. I believe that this is to
keep the focus on that star: Natalie Portman. The
font is in a blood red, continuing the theme of
horror.
Being an unspecific release date, it is not needed to be seen
clearly, the font rounded and deep red with a slight
transparency to blend into the image beneath.
The main stars are listed in a wide
spread font, creating more of an
impact and attracting more
attention to their names. Each star
is very well known- hence being
listed on the poster (to attract fans
and others who are familiar with
their previous work).
The awards are mirrored on each side of the
centred image, balancing one another and in a
dark font matching the dark shades of the eye
makeup. This makes the font noticeable and the
awards more impressive, allowing viewers whom
are interested in the industry to be attracted for
the film itself and not the star power.
3. The tagline proves the film to be thriller: the
violent vocabulary of “killer” proving danger. The
mention of “looks” introduce the personality of
the character, being extremely vain and
egotistical (a sign of psychopathy). The italic font
glamorises the tag line.
The actor is pouting, again proving to be a vain
character, sharp cheekbones giving a model-like
appearance. Christian Bale is very well-known in
Hollywood, attracting a large audience due to his
attractive features and star power. Hard lighting is used
to create shadowing across half of his face, implying
that he suspicious and a dark character. Black
shadowing is conventionally acknowledged with evil in
the theme or thriller.
Reflection is commonly used in thrillers to prove
a double identity, the usage of this once again
enforcing the idea of insanity around the man
and informing the viewer of the complicated
story found.
The title of the film is conventionally presented
on the bottom centre of the page. The silver
shining appearance fits with the theme of
horror, the lettering with a high resemblance to
knives.
Costuming of the character gives a clear
indication of what character he is: professional
and business-like. This can indicate that the
character is serious and once again his neat
outfit implies vanity.
The colouring of the poster follows that
conventional of horror: reds, purples and dark
hues. The cool tones prove an unapproachable
atmosphere. Reds in the background indicate
death, blood and danger.
Following the colour scheme, the billing block’s
font is narrow but stands out against the
complete black background. This balances the
poster’s aesthetics whilst also indicating luxury
of the character through the purple hue (which
also hints at darkness)
Lighting highlights sharp shoulders and the
man’s muscles, further suggesting danger and
violence in the image. His fist is clenched to do
so additionally.
