The energy-of-future
The document discusses the potential of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source for the future. It notes that current fossil fuel reserves will be depleted within 50-220 years, so new energy sources are needed. Fusion energy works the same way as the sun, fusing hydrogen into helium and releasing energy. Experiments show fusion is possible on Earth by heating hydrogen isotopes to over 100 million degrees Celsius until they fuse, which generates energy. Fusion could provide clean energy without greenhouse gas emissions or long-lived radioactive waste. Major projects like ITER aim to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power.

This document summarizes several ways that human activities have impacted the environment. It discusses how the development of farming, industry, and fossil fuel use has destroyed natural habitats and introduced chemicals like pesticides and pollutants. It also describes how the introduction of gases like CFCs in the early 20th century were found to be damaging the ozone layer. The extra carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels may cause global warming and changes to habitats worldwide. Acid rain can damage soil and kill plants from gases emitted by volcanoes, lightning, power stations, and factories.
Three Gorges Dam Josh Lobley
The Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam in the world located in China between Chongqing and Wuhan. It took 17 years to build and provides renewable energy to China but required millions of people to relocate. While it supplies electricity, critics argue it caused environmental issues and used more fossil fuels than planned during construction.
Hydrogen as a fuel
Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel that can power vehicles and devices through either electrochemical cells or combustion. It is the lightest element and does not naturally occur in large quantities on Earth, so it requires substantial energy to produce industrially, such as through electrolysis or steam reforming of methane. Hydrogen acts as an energy carrier by storing energy from other sources and delivering it to fuel cells or combustion engines to generate power and heat through reaction with oxygen to form water.
Fuel cell vehicle
Hydrogen is the simplest element, usually occurring bonded to oxygen in water. It can be used as an energy source by reacting with oxygen in combustion or fuel cells. The document discusses hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure, including methods of hydrogen production, refueling stations in California and Florida, and fuel cell vehicles, buses, motorcycles, airplanes and their advantages of being clean and recyclable compared to disadvantages of flammability and costs of replacing oil infrastructure. Fuel cell vehicles are currently in research and development stages.
Milena
Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust where magma and gases erupt. During an eruption, volcanoes expel lava, ash, dust, gas and vapor. There are three types of volcanoes: active volcanoes that are currently erupting or may erupt soon, dormant volcanoes that have not erupted for a long time, and extinct volcanoes that have not erupted for over 10,000 years. Volcanic eruptions produce rocks and lava that make soil fertile for farming and also provide geothermal energy for human use, but they can also endanger lives through hazards like lava and ash flows, bombs and clouds during an eruption.
Pronunciation
1) Teaching pronunciation is important for communication but many teachers avoid it or believe it cannot be taught effectively.
2) Pronunciation is best taught starting with individual phonemes and having students practice distinguishing pairs of similar sounds before moving to words and sentences.
3) Three major barriers to good pronunciation are anxiety, learned helplessness, and issues with cultural identity, but teachers can address these through structured practice, positive feedback, and activities that emphasize acceptable variation in accents.

Five approaches to TESOL
The document outlines five approaches to teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL): 1) The art/musical approach uses songs and art to engage both sides of the brain in learning new vocabulary. 2) The lexical approach believes vocabulary determines grammar rules. 3) The communicative approach emphasizes student participation and interaction over teacher-centered learning. 4) The audiolingual method is based on behavioral theory and focuses on listening, speaking, repetition and memorization. 5) Total physical response engages students through motivating physical activities in a personal way to make language learning enjoyable.
History of TESOL
TESOL was established in 1966 to address the lack of a single professional organization for teachers of English to speakers of other languages. It was formed through the merging of five existing organizations concerned with teaching English as a second language. TESOL's mission is to ensure excellence in English language teaching globally. The organization represents over 13,000 members across more than 120 countries. TESOL conferences in the 1960s helped establish the need for the new organization and a dedicated journal for the field.

Press release
Cliff Adams, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, plans to teach English in Latin America after completing his tour of duty in Afghanistan in April 2011. Having traveled to six continents as a naval officer, Adams feels he never fully understood other cultures during brief port calls and wants to teach abroad to immerse himself in another culture. Adams believes his experience mentoring and training hundreds of people in the Navy has given him strong communication and teaching skills to be a successful English instructor abroad.
Teaching vocabulary
This document discusses strategies for teaching English vocabulary to ESL students. It recommends that vocabulary be integrated with subject matter through cooperative activities. Teachers should pre-introduce words, tap into students' background knowledge, and encourage independent learning. Students learn best when actively involved, self-monitoring progress and receiving repeated exposures to new words. Teachers can help by integrating vocabulary into lessons, offering varied activities, building background knowledge, and fostering word retention.
TESOL 2 - Technological Language Immersion
This document discusses the future of language learning. It describes how technology is changing how English and other languages evolve through communication online. New forms of "Panglish" are emerging. The document also discusses how technology will transform language learning, noting that augmented reality and human-computer symbiosis may allow for total immersion in a new language through machines and nanocomputers embedded in the brain. Ultimately, the document suggests all forms of communication may be represented by a universal code, making distinct natural languages obsolete.
TESOL AR
Augmented reality (AR) enhances one's current perception of reality by overlaying virtual computer-generated images on a live view of the physical world. AR combines real and virtual elements, interacts in real time, and registers virtual objects in 3D. Unlike virtual reality which aims to replace reality, AR enhances a user's perception of the real world. AR can revolutionize education, especially second language learning, by allowing users to see virtual labels and objects in both their native and target language overlaid on the real world through devices like translucent goggles. AR merges digital learning materials with the physical classroom to create an interactive 3D environment and innovative learning process for second language acquisition.
Tesol group-work
Group work can be an effective teaching technique for language classrooms when implemented properly. It allows all students to actively participate and keeps them occupied. However, teachers should monitor student dynamics and not allow antagonistic students to work together. Teachers are also better suited than students to form groups that mix students of varying abilities, so students should not choose their own groups. When done correctly, group work can help students learn while building acceptance for all. But teachers must fine tune the groups and watch for problems between students to ensure group work benefits learning.
Tips for new Teachers
