Making the most of blogs (IH Brno Sugar and Spice conference, March 2017)
Blogs allow teachers to reflect on their lessons, share materials and ideas, and connect with other educators. A blog is a regular online record of thoughts, opinions, or experiences for others to read. Teachers start blogs by choosing a hosting site like Wordpress, designing the blog, and writing their first post. Topics can include interests, lesson materials and reflections, questions, and summaries of events. Blogs help teachers avoid FOMO and join the conversation in education. Self-promotion on social media can help drive readers to a new teacher blog.

Discourse analysis and phonology chapter 4
This document discusses discourse analysis and phonology. It explains key concepts such as prominence, which refers to stress, pitch or emphasis that adds meaning. Prominence is given to syllables based on the speaker's choice to make certain words salient. The document also discusses intonational units, which divide speech into small units with at least one main prominence. There are different types of tones including fall, rise-fall, fall-rise and rise. Grammatical approaches also look at intonation patterns for question tags, WH questions and yes-no questions. Pitch levels including high, mid and low key are explored across different examples of speaker turns.
Discourse Analysis and Phonology
This document discusses various aspects of phonology as it relates to discourse analysis. It covers topics such as pronunciation, rhythm, stress and prominence, intonation, tones, and pitch. Phonology studies how sounds are organized and used in languages. It looks at both the segmental and suprasegmental features of speech. Intonation, stress, and pitch are important for conveying meaning, attitudes, and emotions through speech. The interplay between these phonological elements and information structure is complex, and speakers make choices that shape discourse and conversations.
Discourse analysis and phonology
This chapter discusses discourse analysis approaches to pronunciation and intonation for language teachers. It covers traditional views of pronunciation teaching focusing on phonemes but notes issues with this when applied to natural discourse. Most of the chapter focuses on intonation, exploring traditional views of rhythm, word stress, prominence, and intonational units. It examines grammatical, attitudinal and interactive approaches to understanding the meanings conveyed by intonation patterns. The key point is that intonation is best understood from an interactive viewpoint as signaling the flow and information structure of discourse rather than conveying fixed attitudes.
Pronunciation Lesson Plan
The document outlines several activities to help students practice distinguishing and pronouncing the /s/ and /θ/ sounds in English. Students will participate in tongue twisters, question/answer worksheets, role plays demonstrating potential misunderstandings caused by confusing the sounds, and listening exercises to identify words containing /s/ or /θ/. The goal is to improve students' ability to think about and produce the different sounds through engaging multi-step activities done individually and in groups.
Lesson plan simple past
The lesson plan aims to teach 1st grade students how to pronounce regular past tense verbs correctly. It includes activities like introducing new vocabulary words, practicing pronunciation through repetition, classifying verbs by their ending sounds, and an evaluation worksheet. The goal is for students to be able to describe past actions using regular past verbs and pronounce the three different endings accurately.
Weak & strong forms
The small words that manage the grammar in English have two different pronunciations. These are called weak and strong forms. The weak forms are unstressed and the strong forms stressed. Most weak forms have either schwa or short 'i' vowel sounds and they are difficult to hear. These words are very important for the pronunciation of English grammar--they are like the gluer in the phonetic system.
Weak,Strong Syllables
The document discusses weak and strong syllables in English. A strong syllable has a full vowel as its nucleus, while a weak syllable typically contains the reduced vowel schwa. The most common vowel in weak syllables is schwa, represented as /ÉTM/. Other vowels found in weak syllables include a close front vowel similar to /i/ and a close back vowel similar to /u/. These vowels are difficult to distinguish from their strong counterparts /i:/ and /u:/. Spellings can provide clues as to which vowel would be present if the syllable was strong. Weak syllables tend to have shorter, less intense vowels compared to strong syllables.
Stress and intonation
The document discusses various aspects of stress and intonation in English, including how stress is realized through louder, longer, and higher pitched syllables and how intonation contributes to the meaning and expression of utterances through rising and falling tones. Word stress rules and patterns of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary stress are examined along with examples of different types of stress including emphatic, contrastive, tonic, and new information stress.

UAS CALL - DEWI KUMALA
This document discusses different types of sounds in English: diphthongs, syllabic consonants, and plosives.
It defines diphthongs as combinations of two vowels in one syllable, like "ai" and "ou". It notes common diphthongs Indonesian speakers mispronounce.
Syllabic consonants are consonant sounds that function as a vowel nucleus, such as "l" and "n" in words like "bottle".
Plosives are consonant sounds produced by complete closure of the vocal tract followed by release, such as "p", "t", and "k". It provides examples of bilabial, alveolar, and vel
Grammar Lesson 10 Verbals
The document discusses different types of verbals - infinitives, participles, and gerunds. It provides examples of each and explains their functions. Infinitives can act as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. Participles are verb forms used as adjectives that end in "-ing" or "-ed/-en". Gerunds are verb forms used as nouns that end in "-ing". The document includes practice identifying examples of each verbal form in sample sentences.

Pronunciation course
This document provides information about connected speech in English. It explains that in fluent speech, words blend together rather than being pronounced separately. Features of connected speech include linking sounds between words, certain sounds disappearing, sounds joining or changing when two words with the same initial or final consonant sounds are said together. Examples are given like "she sells sea shells" to illustrate linking between words, and how sounds like /t/ and /d/ may disappear in the middle of sentences.
Bass jayne u11a1 language comparison
This document discusses English language learning challenges faced by students whose first language is Spanish. It provides an example case study of a 5th grade student named Liz who has been in the US for 3.5 years. Liz struggles with several aspects of English pronunciation and grammar that differ from Spanish. The document analyzes specific errors Liz makes and implications for instruction, such as helping her improve use of suffixes, contractions, silent letters, and diphthongs. It concludes that Liz's situation is common for Spanish-speaking immigrants and more support is needed to transfer language skills between Spanish and English.
4 the present tense of regular ar verbs
The document discusses the basic parts of Spanish verbs in the present tense. It explains that verbs have an infinitive form, ending, and stem. The infinitive is the basic unconjugated form ending in "ar", "er", or "ir". Removing the last two letters leaves the stem. Regular -ar verbs are then conjugated by adding endings to the stem according to subject pronouns like yo, tú, él/ella. Examples like "hablar" are provided to demonstrate how the stem and emphasis change in each conjugation.
English
This document defines and provides examples of various poetic devices and forms of poetry, including:
- Alliteration, allusion, imagery, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, refrain, simile, and symbol.
- Concrete, acrostic, parody, free verse, haiku, sonnet, and ode poetry forms.
- It also discusses diction, enjambment, euphemism, hyperbole, and tone.
English
This document provides definitions for various poetic devices and terms used in poetry. It begins with defining terms like speaker, diction, imagery, allusion, simile, personification, metaphor, refrain, symbol, and stanza. It then continues defining additional terms like alliteration, onomatopoeia, enjambment, connotation, denotation, euphemism, tone, hyperbole. Examples of poetic forms like haiku, sonnet, and concrete poetry are also briefly described.
Syntax Linking and action verbs
The document defines key terms related to verbs in English including: verb phrases can consist of a main verb, auxiliary verb and main verb, or modal auxiliary verb and main verb. Verb phrases indicate tense, aspect, voice, and mood. Common English verb tenses and their affirmative forms are also outlined. Phrasal verbs are multi-word verbs consisting of a main verb and one or more particles/prepositions.
Tone lecture
This document discusses how tone is established in various media like films, music, and writing to set the overall mood or attitude. Tone can be set through stylistic choices such as music, lighting, dialogue, and even subtle word choices. In films, the title, music score, and visuals can immediately establish a scary, funny, or romantic tone. Similarly, word choice, syntax, and sentence structure allow authors to convey tone in writing without relying on audio cues. Figurative language and an author's narrative perspective or attitude can also shape the implied tone of a story. Understanding these tone-setting techniques helps readers and viewers interpret the intended mood.
Use Of Stress And Intonation In Newspaper Headings
The document discusses the use of stress and intonation in English language newspaper headings. It provides details on word stress, sentence stress, weak forms in English, and the different types of tones used in intonation such as falling, rising-falling, and falling-rising tones. Examples are given of how stress and intonation can change the meaning of sentences and newspaper headlines.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.
2024.03.23 What do successful readers do - Sandy Millin for PARK.pptx
What do successful readers do?
As teachers, we’re often guilty of testing our students’ reading abilities through comprehension questions, without actually supporting them to become better readers. But where should we start? How can you move beyond a comprehension focus and help students to become the best readers of English that they can be? What might be stopping them from developing? In this webinar, I’ll aim to answer all of these questions, by looking at what good readers do and demonstrating how to support students to build those skills for themselves.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve produced a lot of materials for your learners, whether that’s a worksheet, a PowerPoint presentation, or a video. You’ve also had very little training in materials writing, and have learnt what you know by trial and error, with the occasional bit of feedback from learners, other teachers or maybe even an editor.
This is why I put together a competency framework specifically dedicated to materials writing for language learning. In this session, we’ll look at what the framework is and how you can use it to produce better quality materials for your learners.

2023.10.07 Creating materials that flow (IATEFL Hungary - Sandy Millin).pptx
The document discusses creating materials that have good "flow" for learners. It defines flow as having clear objectives, easy navigation, a clear beginning and end, logical continuity between activities, engagement, appropriate challenge, learner control, and set up for success. It provides tips for achieving each of these elements, such as using SMART objectives, consistent formatting, building on skills, and offering choices. The key is to choose one area to focus on at a time to avoid trying to change everything at once. Maintaining flow is important for keeping learners engaged and making sure materials are effective.

2023.07.13 Creating materials that flow (BrazTESOL MaWSIG PCE).pptx
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/braztesolmawsig
Abstract
As teachers, we can feel a difference when we’re teaching from materials which seem to ‘flow’ perfectly compared to materials which don’t. However, when we create our own materials, it can be difficult to find that same flow. In this talk, I’ll show you techniques to make your materials flow, including through the use of scaffolding for productive tasks, and the exploitation of a single exercise in a range of different ways.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
