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.

Abstract / Summary
PREPARED BY: PROF.D.V.PATEL
16. Although this is the first piece
of writing the reader comes to,
it is often best to leave its
preparation to last as, until
then, you will not be
absolutely sure what you are
introducing.
• Background of study
• Statement of the problem
• Research Question
• Objective of study
• Limitations
• Profile of study Area (if Any)
Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Literature Review
The purpose of this chapter is to show that you are aware of
where your own piece of research fits into the overall context
of research in your field. To do this you need to:
• describe the current state of research in your defined area; •
consider whether there are any closely related areas that you
also need to refer to;
• identify a gap where you argue that further research is
needed; and
• explain how you plan to attend to that particular research
gap.
This can lead logically into a clear statement of the research
question(s) or problem(s) you will be addressing. In addition
to the research context, there may be other relevant contexts to
present for example: • theoretical context; • methodological
context; • practice context; and • political context.
PREPARED BY: PROF.D.V.PATEL
17. Methodology Checklist Does the methodology (or research method ) section
• Plain when, where, and how the research was done?
• Include subsections or informative headings as appropriate (e.g., evaluation
criteria)?
• Mention which method/tools were use to collect data
Purpose of Methodology
The method section answers these two main questions:
1. How was the data collected or generated?
2.How was it analyzed?
In other words, it shows your reader how you obtained your results.
But why do you need to explain how you obtained your results?
Chapter 3: Methodology
PREPARED BY: PROF.D.V.PATEL
18. • If you've organized, displayed and analyzed your
data, it's time to write it up, and the place for this is
the results section.
• The key to a great results section is in describing
your results you need to tell your readers exactly
what you found out.
This is where you document what was observed or
discovered. It is not the place for discussion.
Things to remember when writing up results
include...
• focus on the key results
• be clear and concise
• don't go into too much detail
• let your pictures do the talking
• be careful not to omit anything
• make life easier for your readers by simplifying
your results
• describe your results don't explain or discuss them.
Chapter 4: Results / Discussions/Conclusion
Discussion: This section has four purposes, it
should:
• Interpret and explain your results • Answer your
research question • Justify your approach •
Critically evaluate your study
Conclusions :This chapter tends to be much
shorter than the Discussion. It is not a mere
„summary‟ of your research, but needs to be
„conclusions‟ as to the main points that have
emerged and what they mean for your field
Recommendations These can take two forms:
recommendations for further study, or
recommendations for change, or both. Each
recommendation should trace directly to a
conclusion.
PREPARED BY: PROF.D.V.PATEL
19. • Whenever you cite information (this includes graphics) from another source, you must credit
the source in your References. Always check with your instructor to determine which reference
style to use.
Appendices: When to use them
• Material that is related but supplementary to the main argument
• Brief material referred to throughout your dissertation, such as a piece of legislation or
historical document
• Complex tables or data Avoid using appendices just to avoid making hard editing decisions
about material you cannot include in the final text – exceeding the word limit will usually be
penalized and tutors will often not read beyond this. Examples of appendix materials •
transcription(s)of interviews(s)
• examples and/or full results of questionnaires
• materials not published in standard sources such as correspondence between you and an author
whose writing you are researching
• large tables of data
Chapter 5: References
PREPARED BY: PROF.D.V.PATEL
20. 1) Size And Physical Design
• Unruled paper of standard size
• If it is in hand written than use black or blue ink.
• Margin: Right side: half inches. Left side: One or One and half inches.
• Header and Footer: One inches from the sides spaced should be left.
2) Layout
• The layout of the research report and various types of reports have been described in this presentation earlier
which should be taken as a guide for report writing in case of particular problem.
3) Treatment of quotations
• Definition or Quotations should be placed in quotation marks and double spaced forming an immediate part of
the text.
