This document discusses the use of songs, rhymes, chants and poems in language teaching. It provides reasons for using these tools such as making the language memorable, motivating students, and helping improve pronunciation. Examples are given of different types that can be used, such as fingerplays, counting rhymes and tongue twisters. Suggestions are provided for how to use these tools, such as setting context, pre-teaching vocabulary, and having students perform. Criteria for choosing appropriate songs are outlined. Ways songs can be used, such as fill-in-the-blanks activities, are also described.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

4. Songs, rhymes and chants are ideal tools to be used in the language classroom.
10. To contribute to the learning of the cultural component of the language.
11. To contribute to the development of a positive attitude towards the language learning.

13. Howto use them Set the context. What is the song about? When necessary pre-teach vocabulary with visual aids, actions, focus questions, realia, etc. Make copies of the lyrics, cut lines or verses and distribute the cut-outs to the pairs or groups, asking them to order the song. Play the song and stop every second line or so, for students to check their versions and guess what comes next. Listen to the whole song. Give each student a line of the song to listen for. As they listen they have to arrange themselves physically in the order they hear their line. With more advance students this can be done asking them to arrange themselves before listening to the song. Encourage students to use actions, drama when singing the song. Listen and sort. Students have the words from two songs mixed together. Fill in gaps. Perform as a whole class or in small groups: boys and girls, half class one line and the other half the second line, when there is question and answer, etc. Encourage children to make a book with their favourite songs.
14. Criteria for choosing a song/rhyme/chant for the young learner language class. Are the children involved? Would the children enjoy the song/rhyme/chant outside the classroom? Is the song,… clear to understand and use? Does the song have a good melody/rhythm? Can those who are weak at English take part without feeling frustrated?
