A chapter on reading skills from the textbook, Communication Skills, developed by the Language Communication for Development Department at the Bunda College of Agriculture, University of Malawi
Reading comprehension is the ability to process text, understand its meaning, and to integrate with what the reader already knows. The purpose of reading is comprehension — getting meaning from written text. ... A major goal of reading comprehension instruction, therefore, is to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences they must have if they are to become competent and enthusiastic readers.

A great deal of your time university will be spent thinking; thinking about what people have said,
what you have read, what you yourself are thinking and how your thinking has changed. It is
generally believed that the thinking process involves two aspects: reflective thinking and critical
thinking. They are not separate processes; rather, they are closely connected (Brookfield 1987).
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. READING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
• Employers look for candidates who
can adapt their reading to the task
required. You might be required to
search for something quickly in a text,
or check a document methodically for
mistakes
• The English language is constantly
evolving and new words, terms and
abbreviations make their way into
different industries all the time.
• Ensure you are familiar with the
vocabulary that is used in your
particular field. Click on the image to
practise this.
4. CLASSIFYING INFORMATION
• Classifying means ordering and
qualifying things into groups or
sections. This also applies to ideas/
facts/ arguments in writing
• You may have to list all the
arguments from a single source that
are in favour of one view and set
them against all the arguments
against
• Click on the image to practice this
5. CLOSE READING
• Close reading is particularly
important if you need to work out
the tone or attitude of a writer.
You need to look closely at the
words used and their
connotations and nuances.
• It is also important for
proofreading, identifying
arguments and looking for small
pieces of information.
• Close reading is the default for
work involving analysis or
evaluation
6. PROOFREADING SKILLS
• Proofreading is essential for
ANYTHING you write down that is
intended for someone else to read
• If you do not proofread your emails,
letters, articles, exam papers it could
cost you dear!
• Not proofreading your work could
make you appear sloppy, lazy or of a
lower ability than you actually are.
You could be sending the wrong
message entirely!
8. SKIMMING
• Skimming a text is great to get an
overview of what it is about. When
you skim-read you look at
headings, topic sentences in
paragraphs, images and diagrams
to give you a sense of the text
• We often skim through the
newspaper or a magazine article.
Skim reading should be approached
with caution if you are responding
to a question which asks you to
look at language and its effects.
This requires close reading
9. SCANNING
• Scanning is great if you are
looking through a large
document for key words,
numbers, dates, names etc. Highly
useful for alphabetically
sequenced documents etc.
• Like skimming, scanning has a
specific and limited purpose. It
should not be used where close
reading strategies should be
applied.
10. INFERENCE
• Inference is essentially ‘reading
between the lines’ and working
out what someone means by what
has been said indirectly.
• It is reaching a logical conclusion/
assumption from the evidence
present, whilst accepting that not
all the evidence is present.
• Examples of inference can be
found by clicking the image
11. CRITICAL READING – EVALUATING
INFORMATION
• Critical reading usually means you are
reading something with a view to
forming an opinion on the content.
Or, you may be querying the facts/
evidence therein.
• Critical reading is often done in
response to a question which usually
asks for your view or judgement on a
statement or argument
• You might read newspaper articles or
car adverts critically, looking for bias
or sub-text – an underlying theme or
attitude
12. MULTIPLE TEXT PROCESSING
• Now you are getting to grips with one
text – how about another thrown in to
the mix?!
• Reading more than one text is done
for the purposes of synthesising
(pulling together) facts or ideas or the
more complicated process of
comparing writer’s ideas, viewpoints
or writing styles and methods.
• Click on the image to practise!
13. READING FOR PLEASURE
In addition to the health benefits, reading for
pleasure has social benefits and can improve
our sense of connectedness to the wider
community. Reading increases our
understanding of our own identity, improves
empathy and gives us an insight into the
world view of others. Have a read below to
see if you could be persuaded! Click the
