Rome was located in a strategic position in central Italy on the Tiber River, allowing it to control the Mediterranean region. It began as a kingdom ruled by Etruscans but overthrew them in the 5th century BCE to establish a republic with a Senate dominated by patricians. Conflicts emerged between patricians and plebeians seeking more rights and power. Rome then expanded across Italy and the Mediterranean through military conquests, establishing itself as a major power and defeating Carthage. It transitioned from a republic to an empire under Julius Caesar and Augustus, though the form of a republic was maintained. The Roman Empire reached its greatest extent by the 2nd century CE and spread its culture and laws

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.

Very similar to the fall of Han China
Too big to defend
Reliance on barbarian mercenaries
Outside invasions (The Huns strike again!)
Economic problems
Government corruption and poor leadership
Loss of pride
Diocletian tried to save Rome by dividing it into
two halves: West = Rome, East = Byzantium

Rome is sacked by Barbarians

Ages
