The document provides examples of English sayings and their Spanish and Costa Rican counterparts to illustrate this cross-cultural sharing of proverbs. It concludes that analyzing proverbs provides opportunities for students to learn about each other and improve their language and thinking skills.

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.
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.

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.

Sayings, Proverbs, and the Teaching of Culture in ELT

Chiu and Hong (quoted by Samovar, Porter, & McDaniel 2010) have already noted that “Shared knowledge gives rise to shared meanings, which are carried in the shared physical environment (such as the spatial layout of a rural village, subsistence economy), social institutions (e.g., schools, family, the workplace), social practices (e.g., division of labor), the language, conversation scripts, and other media (e.g., religious scriptures, cultural icons, folklores, idioms).” All this shared unconscious collective knowledge is inherent to the way people satisfy their psychological and physical needs. It is through this shared knowledge that we get to understand how members of a community act the way they are. And this knowledge is also phrased in the use of sayings, proverbs, and the like.
What can be noted and used in language teaching is that many sayings are pervasive in many other cultures. As Samovar, Porter, & McDaniel (2010) have put it, “Because all people, regardless of their culture, share common experiences, many of the same proverbs appear throughout the world.” This common shared knowledge and

experiences in the native and target culture can be used to really work on language teaching and learning. All these sayings, whether they are in both tongues and/or cultures, can be of great use to teach intercultural understanding and communication in a regular foreign language class.
As suggested by Prof. Marta Eugenia Rojas (2014, May 24, Personal Communication), -a Master’s Degree Program Instructor at Universidad Latina (San José, Costa Rica)-, proverbs and sayings are great ways to explore a foreign culture and their view to understand the world. Rojas continues by emphasizing the fact that these cultural statements fuse a culture’s present, past, and future, and through these culturally-held values, societies govern individuals’ needs to satisfy their psychological and physical needs. And because EFL students, e.g., also hold their values, they can venture into comparing their own behavior as opposed to what they can expect to find if they were immersed in the target language. Proverbs and sayings are a good start in having learners reflect about how native speakers behave and mull over the way that they behave in their mother culture.
As it has been noted, proverbs and sayings “offer an important set of values and beliefs for members of [a] culture” (Samovar, Porter, & McDaniel 2010). And as the Russian Social State University (n.d.) has put it in a quite simple and straightforward way:
Proverbs provide an opportunity for students to be knowledgeable experts as well as learners.
Proverbs provide an opportunity for students to learn about each other and their shared values.
Proverbs provide an opportunity for students to gain insight as they discuss their experiences and work out their understanding of proverb meanings.
Proverbs provide an opportunity for students to use their home culture as a stepping stone into school culture.
Proverbs provide an opportunity to improve thinking and writing as students both provide and receive information.

Proverbs and sayings can indeed help learners become more competent in the target language and culture.
