Reading is a complex process that involves word recognition, comprehension, fluency and motivation. It requires the interaction between the reader's prior knowledge, information from the text, and the reading context. Comprehension is the main goal of reading, as without understanding the meaning, reading is just recognizing words. Teachers can help students' comprehension with strategies before, during and after reading such as activating background knowledge, asking questions, summarizing and discussing ideas from the text.

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.

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.
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.

2. READING AS A PROCESS
Reading is a multifaceted process involving
word recognition, comprehension, fluency, and
motivation. - Diane Henry Leipzig
Reading is the process of constructing meaning
through the dynamic interaction among: (1)
the reader's existing knowledge; (2) the
information suggested by the text being read;
and (3) the context of the reading situation
(Wixson, Peters, Weber, & Roeber, 1987, citing
the new definition of reading for Michigan).
3. WHY IS READING COMPREHENSION SO IMPORTANT?
Classrooms across the nation are interspersed with students who
experience frustration in reading comprehension every day. Often these
students don’t possess adequate reading comprehension skills to do
what is expected of them. Without comprehension, reading is just
following words on a page from left to right while sounding them out.
The words on the page have no meaning.
The main goal of reading is to have some kind of understanding of what
the writer is trying to say and make use of that information whether for
fact gathering, learning a new skill, or for pleasure. That’s why reading
comprehension skills are so important. Without them the reader cannot
gather any information and use it to efficiently function and enjoy the
richness of life.
4. WHAT CAN WE DO? (AS TEACHERS)
As teachers we often ask ourselves, “How can I help my
student’s excel?”
In this case teachers may be beginning to ask themselves
“What kind of strategies can I implement in order to aid in
my students comprehension?”
Luckily, this presentation will provide just that! I will provide
before, during and after reading skills for students in middle
school and higher with a focus on Non-Fiction readings.
5. READING STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY TEACHER
Before reading, the teacher may:
• Motivate students through activities that may increase their interest EX. book talks, dramatic
readings, reader’s theatre. These strategies help make the text relevant to students.
• Activate students' background knowledge important to the content of the text by discussing what
students will read and what they already know about its topic and about the text organization.
During reading, the teacher may:
• Remind students to use comprehension strategies as they read and to monitor their understanding.
• Ask questions that keep students on track and focus their attention on main ideas and important
points in the text.
• Focus attention on parts in a text that require students to make inferences.
• Call on students to summarize key sections or events.
• Encourage students to return to any predictions they have made before reading to see if they are
confirmed by the text.
After reading, the teacher may:
• Offer students opportunities to respond to the reading in various ways, including through writing,
dramatic play, music, readers' theatre, videos, debate, or pantomime.
• Guide discussion of the reading.
• Ask students to recall and tell in their own words important parts of the text.

7. BEFORE READING STRATEGIES
L E T P L A Y A G A M E :
PHRASE GAME: The teacher writes
an incomplete sentence on the
white board drawing a line to
indicate where the final phrase of
the sentence would go. Have the
students copy the incomplete
sentence at the top of the sheet of
lined paper. Then instruct the
students to complete the sentence
using different phrases they
generate on their own.
B E F O R E R E A D I N G , S T U D E N T S
C A N :
• Establish a purpose for reading.
Students can do this by predicting
journals written in before each
reading.
• Identify and discuss difficult words,
phrases, and concepts in the text.
Teacher can lead a small group
discussion before reading.
• Preview the text by looking the
title, illustrations, and unusual text
structures to make predictions
about the book’s content.
• Think, talk, and write about the
topic of the text. This can also be
done in small groups or written in
the student’s predicting journals.
8. DURING READING STRATEGIES
Students, with some help from the teacher, may:
• Determine and summarize important ideas and supportive details. Take notes in a
notebook as you read, jotting down what you think is important.
• Make connections between and among important ideas in the text.
• Integrate new ideas with existing background knowledge.
• Ask themselves questions about the text. Refer to QARs that have been provided to
you.
• Sequence events and ideas in the text. Make a timeline in your notes.
• Offer interpretations of and responses to the text. In your notes write down your
opinion on what you are reading.
• Check understanding by paraphrasing or restating important and/or difficult
sentences and paragraphs.
• Visualize characters, settings, or events in a text.
9. AFTER READING STRATEGIES
After reading, the student can:
SURF THE NET:
After students have completed their
reading they can search the internet to
check out about the book, its author, or
its subject.
PICTURE THIS:
Bring in art related to book's time or
themes. Compare, describe, and
discuss.
Students may:
• Evaluate and discuss the
ideas encountered in the
text.
• Apply and extend these
ideas to other texts and
real life situations.
• Summarize what was read
by retelling the main ideas.
• Discuss ideas for further
reading.
