Skimming and scanning are rapid reading techniques used to find specific information. Skimming involves glancing over a text to understand the general idea, main topics, and conclusions. Scanning is used to quickly locate a specific piece of information by ignoring unrelated details. Both techniques allow readers to process large amounts of material efficiently when full comprehension is not required. Examples of when to use skimming and scanning include previewing texts, reading newspapers, manuals, and other materials.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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.
2. MAIN ISSUES TO REMEMBER…
Skimming and scanning are especially valuable
when there is only one item of information that you
need to find from a particular passage.
Skimming and scanning are very rapid
reading methods in which you glance at a
passage to find specific information. These
reading methods make it easier for you to
grasp large amounts of material,
especially when you're previewing. They
are also useful when you don't need to
know every word.
3. Skimming is a way to read quickly in
order to discover the general idea of a
text. When you skim , you do not read
every word. The main purpose of
skimming is to get a general idea of
what the text is about.
SKIMMING
4. When you want to skim
a text…
Read the first few sentences. You can often begin to
get a general idea about the passage right from the
start.
Read the last few sentences. These sentences often
summarize information in the paragraphs or passages.
Look for key words (words that are repeated). The will
give you clues about the topic.
Look at pictures, tables, charts, etc. They will give a
picture about the content of the text.

the Treasure Hunt as part of the Celebration of Languages Day
which commemorates the death of literary icons: William
Shakespeare (England) and Miguel Cervantes (Spain).The
Treasure Hunt (a game in which players, with the aid of clues,
compete in trying to find hidden articles) is a fun activity which
has been organized for students who want to practice their
speaking and listening skills. Additionally, students receive
additional points in their classes just by participating and can get
more points if they come in first, second, or third place. In five
pits (stops) students have to answer questions about general
culture, habits, customs, sports, celebrities, and anything that is
related to what the students are learning in the classroom.
Students compete in teams of three and the aim (objective) is to
finish the cycle and to accumulate the largest amount of points
in the least amount of time possible.

9. Scanning
Scanning is a reading technique to be used
when you want to find specific information
quickly. In scanning you have a question
in your mind and you read a passage only
to find the answer, ignoring unrelated
information.
10. To scan effectively you need to
do several things:
1.Know the specific information you are looking
for: a name, date, a time, a key word, etc.
2.Ignore the words and information that aren’t
important for your purpose.
3.Move your eyes rapidly across the text until you
find the information and then stop reading.

15. ConclusionConclusion
Skimming and scanning is used when reading all
types of documents.
We skim to get the idea of what a document is
about and typically skim all documents before we
actually begin to read.
As we skim, we…
think about the topic
think about what we already know about the topic
start to guess or anticipate the details we are going
to read about.
We scan for specific information.
We work quickly when we skim and scan.
