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.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

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.
2. Introduction
Sociology is a discipline that belongs to what is conventionally called
social science. It plays a leading role in the social sciences.
The term sociology literally means the science of society.
Sociology as an academic discipline arose in the first half of 19th century
(in 1837) as a special science dedicated to discover the fundamental laws
governing the societal phenomena and human social relationship with
primary interest in analysing the problems and societies of the modern
world.
3. Definition of Sociology
The first social scientist to use the term sociology was a Frenchman named
Auguste Comte who lived from 1798-1857. According to Comte, the term
sociology is a combination of two words. The first part of the term is a
Latin, socius- that may variously mean society, association, togetherness or
companionship. The other word, logos, is of Greek origin. It literally means
to speak about or word. However, the term is generally understood as
study or science (Indrani, 1998).
Thus, the etymological, literal definition of sociology is that it is the word
or speaking about society. In short, it is the study of society and culture.
4. The concepts “society” and “culture” are central in sociology.
It appears to be appropriate here to differentiate between
these two important concepts. Society generally refers to the
social world with all its structures, institutions, organizations,
etc. around us, and specifically to a group of people who live
within some type of bounded territory and who share a
common way of life. This common way of life shared by a
group of people is termed as culture (Stockard, 1997).
5. Scholarly Definitions
Sociology may be generally defined as a social science that studies such
kinds of phenomena as:
The structure and function of society as a system.
The nature, complexity and contents of human social behaviour.
The fundamentals of human social life.
Interaction of human beings with their external environment.
The indispensability of social interactions for human development.
How the social world affects us, etc.
6. A more formal definition of sociology may be that it is a social science
which studies the processes and patterns of human individual and group
interaction, the forms of organization of social groups, the relationship
among them, and group influences on individual behaviour, and vice
versa, and the interaction between one social group and the other (Team
of Experts, 2000).
Sociology is the scientific study of society, which is interested in the study
of social relationship between people in group context. Sociology is
interested in how we as human beings interact with each other (the
pattern of social interaction); the laws and principles that govern social
relationship and interactions; the/influence of the social world on the
individuals, and vice versa (Ibid.).
7. It deals with an exactly observable subject matter, depends upon
empirical research, and involves attempts to formulate theories and
generalizations that will make sense of facts (Giddens, 1982).
Regarding the detective and expository nature the science, Soroka
(1992:34) states that: “Sociology is a debunking science; that is, it looks
for levels of reality other than those presented in official interpretations of
society and people’s common sense explanations of the social world.
Sociologists are interested in understanding what is and do not make
value judgments.”
8. Brief Historical Overview
Sociology and other social sciences emerged from a common tradition of reflection
of social phenomena; interest in the nature of human social behaviour and society
has probably always existed. However, most people in most past societies saw their
culture as a fixed and God-given entity. This view was gradually replaced by more
rational explanations beginning from the 17th century especially in Western Europe
(Rosenberg, 1987).
The sociological issues, questions and problems had been raised and discussed by
the forerunners starting from the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers and
Hebrew prophet times.
Sociology as an academic science was thus born in 19th century (its formal
establishment year being 1837) in Great Britain and Western Europe, especially in
France and Germany, and it greatly advanced throughout 19th and 20th centuries.
9. The major conditions, societal changes and upheavals that gave rise to the
emergence and development of sociology as an academic science include the
Industrial Revolution that began in Great Britain, the French Political Revolution of
1789, the Enlightenment and advances in natural sciences technology. These
revolutions had brought about significant societal changes and disorders in the way
society lived in the aforementioned countries. Since sociology was born among the
great socio-political and economic and technological changes of the western world,
it is said to be the science of modern society.
The pioneering sociologists were very much concerned about the great changes
that were taking place and they felt that the exciting sciences could not help
understand, explain, analyse and interpret the fundamental laws that govern the
social phenomena. Thus, sociology was born out of these revolutionary contexts.
11. Conclusion
Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social
causes and consequences of human behaviour. Sociologists
investigate the structure of groups, organizations, societies, and
how people interact within these contexts.
