How to Improve Your Academic Writing with the Right Essay Structure?. Expository Essay: Examples and Tips of a Proper Writing That Will Be .... How to Write the Best Essay Assignment for College/University?.
Making converts, gaining decisions, does not equal making disciples. It is essential we look at the right ideas, in the right way to make real disciples of King Jesus.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.
Name someone...who has impacted your life.
Disiple-making is a deliberate act requiring discipline and dedication
“Discipleship is all about living the life together rather than just one structured meeting each week” Chan

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.

3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4. 4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

in the presence of my enemies.

To see a lamb at school.”
10. Emmeline Pankhurst
Freedom or Death 1913
You have left it to women in your land, the men
of all civilised countries have left it to women,
to work out their own salvation. That is the way
in which we women of England are doing.
Human life for us is sacred, but we say if any
life is to be sacrificed it shall be ours; we won’t
do it ourselves, but we will put the enemy in
the position where they will have to choose
between giving us freedom or giving us death.
11. Sir Winston Churchill, 1941
Never give in - never, never, never,

or petty, never give in except to
convictions of honour and good
sense. Never yield to force; never
yield to the apparently overwhelming
might of the enemy.
12. I have a dream (1963)
by Martin Luther King Jr

one day right there in Alabama little
black boys and black girls will be able to
join hands with little white boys and white
girls as sisters and brothers.
13. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every
valley shall be exalted and every hill
and mountain shall be made low, the
rough places will be made plain, and
the crooked places will be made
straight, and the glory of the Lord shall
be revealed and all flesh shall see it
together.
14. Funeral Blues
by W.H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy
bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled
drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners
come.
15. Let aeroplanes circle moaning
overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message
“He is Dead”.
Put crepe bows round the white necks
of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black
cotton gloves.
16. He was my North, my South, my East
and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my
song;
I thought that love would last forever: I
was wrong.

tagline to a statement:

there is no short form]:
I am —— Am I…?
You are —— Are you…? [’re they?]
He is / she is —— Is he / Is she? [’s he?]
We are —— Are we…?
