Roland Barthes was a French philosopher and literary theorist born in 1915 who developed the theory of codes. He believed that a narrative text can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the codes or perspectives used. Barthes identified five main codes that shape meaning in a text: the hermeneutic code, the proairetic code, the symbolic code, the cultural code, and the semantic code. These codes represent different voices or lenses that influence how a reader understands a narrative.

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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

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.
2. Roland Barthes was born on the 12th of
November 1915 and died on the 26th of
March 1980. He was a French
philosopher, literary theorist and critic. He
has explored a diverse range of fields
and has a large influence.
3. The Codes theory:
Roland Barthes described a narrative text as “a galaxy
of signifiers , not a structure of signifieds; it has no
beginning; it is reversible; we gain access to it by several
entrances, none of which can be authoritatively
declared to be the main one; the codes it mobilizes
extend as far as the eye can read, they are
indeterminable...the systems of meaning can take over
this absolutely plural text, but their number is never
closed, based as it is on the infinity of language..”
4. By this he means:
A narrative plot is like a ball of tangled strings and the thread
needs to be unravelled. Once unravelled this plot hold a
massive range of possible meanings. You can look at a
narrative from one perspective, with one set of previous
experience and get one meaning but follow from a different
perspective and past experience and you can get a
different meaning entirely.
5. Roland Barthes further narrowed down his theory into five codes,
these included:
The Hermeneutic Code (HER)
The Enigma/ Proairetic Code (ACT)
The Symbolic Code (SYM)
The Cultural Code (REF)
The Semantic Code (SEM)
6. Known as ‘the voice of truth’
This is the way in which a story avoids
revealing main plot points or twists in order
to create mystery for the audience.
7. Also known as the ‘empirical voice’.
This is the mystery/tension that is built up for
the audience.
8. Known as ‘the voice of the person’
The semantic code is an element in a text
that points to a particular, often additional
meaning through connotation.
9. Known as the ‘voice of symbols’
This is very similar to the Semantic Code,
but acts at a wider level, organizing
semantic meanings into broader and
deeper sets of meaning. This is typically
done in the use of antithesis, where new
meaning arises out of opposing and
conflict ideas.
10. Known as ‘the voice of science’
This looks upon the audiences wider
cultural knowledge, morality and ideology.
