Japanese Manners -Tips on Being Polite
Going to Japan? Follow these simple rules, and you can avoid offending the locals!
-Bowing
DO bow back when someone bows to you! People in Japan bow to say thank you, please, excuse me, hello, goodbye and so on! Bowing is the most basic, frequently used greeting. The best thing is, you don't even need to say anything!
Be careful though, DON'T bow with your hands together in front of you. This may be common in some parts of Asia, but not in Japan. Simple let your hands dangle by your sides.
-Chopsticks
DO use them, even if you're terrible at them! Your efforts will be greatly appreciated :) If they offer you spoons of forks, don't be offended. This is simply a Japanese way of being hospitable.
DON'T leave your chopsticks sticking straight up in your rice bowl! (Or any other bowl...) This is something that we do as a ritual at funerals, so it's extremely impolite.
-Shoes
DO take them off indoors! Even some restaurants require you to remove your shoes. Try to avoid wearing socks with holes ;)
DON'T leave them lying there! Arrange them neatly, and place them so that the toes are pointing at the door. This way, you can simply slip them on when you're leaving.
-Trains
DO keep quiet! Trains are not a transportation method. Often times they are place where tired students and workers sleep, read, and relax! Talking is okay, but keep your voices lowered.
DON'T cut the line! It can be tempting, especially when you want to secure a seat. However, it's extremely important that you respect the order. This is true in most countries, but I think it has a special significance in Japan.
-Cellphones in Public Places (e.g. trains, museums)
DO keep them on silent mode! Having a loud ringtone is considered 'meiwaku', which means 'rude, causing trouble'. Keeping them on vibration is okay, but if it vibrates too loudly, you may get some unhappy glances from the people around you.
DON'T talk too loudly on the phone! It's really easy to shout over the phone, without really realizing it. In trains, talking is 'forbidden'. You won't be fined or anything, but it's considered very 'meiwaku'. If it's an emergency, you can answer, but it's best to tell the other person you're on the train, and call them back later.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
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.
