The document summarizes several theories about media representations of youth:
- Giroux and Acland argue that media representations are created by adults without understanding youth reality, portraying them in stereotypical ways to control behavior.
- Hebdige says media limits representations of youth to "trouble" or "fun" without showing diversity.
- Cohen describes how media can create "moral panics" by portraying youth as "folk devils" when they challenge social norms.
- Gramsci discusses how media upholds norms of the middle class as the standard.

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.
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.
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.

Representation of youth theories
1.
2. Giroux (1997)
Giroux theory
Media representations youths
= ‘Empty category’
DUE to media = ADULTS (No
teenagers)
Means – DOES NOT reflect
reality of teenagers
Representation of youth
Giroux views show how the youth are
mistreated within the media. Describing them
as an ‘Empty category’ explains that adults do
not really understand what it is like to be a
youth in this generation. Therefore they just
plonk their own ideas into this empty space of
what they believe the representation of youth
it.
Effects of these representations
Media involving just adults therefore
greatly effects these representations. The
adults do not want their generation to look
bad therefore use teenagers as a scapegoat to
place the blame on.
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
see that the representation of youth is
moulded together through what adults
believe and think. Thus then would lead
to uprising of stereotypes through the
media and also cause moral panics of
youths. When all of this has just been
created through hegemony and the media
raining down their ideas onto the adults
3. Acland (1995)
Acland theory
Media representations –
Delinquent youths = enhance
hegemony
Done by ideal of ‘NORM’ adult
and youth behaviour =
Contrasts deviant youth
behaviour = Unacceptable
Representation of youth
Media representations of young people =
allows state to control them (EG ASBOs)
This is known as ‘Ideology of protection’
Idea that youths need to be CONTANTLY
watched
= Youth is the time where they learn about
social roles/values State needs to confirm
these values
Effects of these representations
This therefore effects the representations
as the adults see youths as all being reckless
and they have to keep enforcing that these
actions are bad. This is to enforce the
hegemony of how the should not behave
when I comes to adulthood. This means that
there will be more negative stories in the
media
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
see that adults believe that it is necessary
to show youths in such a disastrous way.
This is so they can tell youths how to act
an how not to act so they can enforce
middle class hegemony.
4. Hebdige (1979)
Hebdige theory
Studies British youth subcultures
(Late 1970’s)
Focused on the reality of youth
cultures.
Subcultures = Youths to express
themselves and to challenge
hegemony (Mostly through style)
Representation of youth
Hebdige argues that the
representation of youths is VERY
limited Either shown as Trouble or
fun there is no inbetween.
Suggest media representation of
youths in NOT REALITY
Effects of these representations
Therefore this would effect the
representation of youths dramatically. Due
to them either being shown in two different
ways of being trouble or having fun in the
media it suggest that we never get to see
the good and hard working teens of society
who just fade into the background (Being
seen by the media as boring)
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
see that the media in society tends to
ignore the good and the hard working and
focuses on the fun and the trouble. This
therefore makes adults believe that all
Youths behave in this manner.
5. Cohen (1972)
Cohen theory
Studied media response to mods
and rockers riots (60’s)
Time ‘Folk devils’ emerge in society
Reflect anxieties at the time
= Causing a moral panic to occur
Representation of youth
The effect of the moral panic is to
reinforce hegemony by the media making
it clear what values society do not accept.
This shows that when youths try to
express themselves in a way that adults
have not seen before they try stop it by
showing it as a negative aspect
Effects of these representations
Therefore this would effect the
representation of youths as it shows that
they are not allowed to express themselves
within a different way that society does not
see as acceptable. Therefore this places a
more negative effect on the youths as
everything they do out of the norms of
society is seen as bad.
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
see that the media places the blame onto
the youths seeing them as an easy target.
This causes the moral panic cycle to
happen in order to stamp down hard onto
anything that youths try to do that is out
of the norms.
6. Gramsci
Gramsci theory
Developed concept of cultural
hegemony Social class (Middle class)
dominate society by: Their life = Normal,
natural and common sense.
Representation of youth
Therefore other social groups/classed
ACCEPT these values and class these as a
normal way of life. This meaning that lowe
social classes will always be shown as
negative as they are unable to have the
same lifestyle as middle class people.
Effects of these representations
This would effect representations as all
representations of youth will always be
contrasted with middle class youths. Thus
meaning that if the lower class youths are
not living up to the standard of the middle
class youths then they will always be looked
down upon within society
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
see that the media always still with the
hegemony of the higher classes as these
are seen as more acceptable. Also that
they do not take into consideration how
other people live within society
7. Greg Philo
Greg Philo theory
Argues that Contemporary ‘Hoodie
cinema’ reflects middle class anxiety
about the threat of the working class
Representation of youth
This shows that anyone under middle
class is inserted into this ‘Hoodie cinema’
which is basically summing up that in all
films that if you are not middle class then
you are a thug in a hoodie.
Effects of these representations
Therefore this would effects working class
youths as by everyone else they would be
seen as thugs and upper class people would
be more threatened of them. Also it would
be harder for them to make something of
their life if they believe that they will always
be linked with the ‘hoodie cinema’ idea.
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
tell that the media link social classes with
strong stereotypes. With the middle class
being the ideal person and anyone lower
than this being a hooligan.
8. Gerbner – Cultivation theory
Gerbner – Cultivation theory
Studied effect of television
Perception of crime.
Found Watched loads of TV =
Overestimate crime (Mean world
syndrome)
News reports/TV dramas/ films = Lots of
crime = influence perception of world
(CULTIVATION THEORY)
Representation of youth
This shows that youth are always the
victims of being involved within crime
throughout many media platforms. This
therefore would give people the
perception that youths do all the crime
thus making them being represented
badly.
Effects of these representations
Therefore this would effect the
representation of youths by automatically
giving them a bad name no matter what
they are like. This is because of all these
programmes indoctrinating the public to
place the blame onto teens automatically
The role of media representations in
society
By looking at this theory we are able to
tell that representation is closely linked to
what we see on the television. These then
cause peoples perceptions to change on
representations depends on what has
been shown on the television.
