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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

2. ORAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS
IN PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH
Some issues about teaching oral communication are:
• The place of pronunciation teaching
There are some controversy about the role of pronunciation. The question is, since the
adult learners will never acquire the “accent free” command of a foreign language,
should a language paradigm that emphasize whole language, meaningful contexts, and
subconscious acquisition, focus on these pronunciation details?
3. • Accuracy and fluency
Both of accuracy and fluency are important goals in CLT.
However, the question that arises is, how shall we prioritize the
clearly important speaker goals of accurate (clear, articulate,
grammatically and phonologically correct) language and fluent
(flowing, natural) language?
Accuracy may be an initial goals of language teaching,
accuracy is achieved by focusing on the element of phonology,
grammar, and discourse in their spoken output.
4. • Affective factors
One of the impacts of “language ego” is leaners feel afraid about
of blurting things out that wrong, stupid and incomprehensible. Therefore,
teachers should provide the kind of warm, embracing climate that
students to speak in their new language.
• The interaction effect
Learners feel more difficult in the interactive nature of
instead of the multiplicity of sounds, words, phrases, and discourse forms.
conversation, the participant are engaged in the process of negotiating of
meaning, they feel problematic about how to speak something, when, and
discourse constraints.
5. TYPES OF SPOKEN LANGUAGE
• There are five types of spoken language, they are interactional,
referential, expressive, transactional, and phatic.
• When you plan to implement your techniques in your interactive
classroom, make sure that your students deal with these types of
spoken language.
• These types will help them on delivering their speech better.
6. WHAT MAKES SPEAKING
DIFFICULT?
• Clustering
Because the fluent speech is phrasal, learners should organize their
output both cognitively and physically through such clustering
• Redundancy
Through redundancy, speaker has a chance to make his speech
clearer
7. • Reduced forms
Students who don’t learn colloquial contractions such as contractions,
elisions, reduced vowel etc. can sometimes develop stilled, bookish
quality of speaking that in turn stigmatize them.
• Performance variables
The process of thinking is one advantage of spoken language because
learners can learn how to pause, hesitate, backtracking, and
corrections.
8. • Colloquial language
Your students should understand the colloquial language in order to
able to use it in their speaking practice.
• Rate of delivery
Delivery is another salient characteristics of fluency.Your job is help
the learners to achieve an acceptable speed along with other
attributes of fluency
9. • Stress, rhythm, and intonation
The stress-timed rhythm of spoken English is the most crucial
characteristic of English pronunciation because it convey important
message
• Interaction
Learning to produce waves of language in a vacuum (without
interlocutors) would rob speaking from its richest component: the
creativity of conversational negotiation.
10. MICRO-SKILLS OF ORAL
COMMUNICATION
• Produce chunks of language of different lengths
• Orally produce differences among the English phonemes and allophonic variants
• Produce English stress pattern, words in stressed and unstressed position,
rhythmic, and intonational countours
• Produce reduced forms of words and phrases
• Use an adequate number of lexical units (words) in order to accomplish
pragmatic purposes
• Produce fluent speech at different rates of delivery
• Monitor your own oral production and use various strategic devices to enhance
the clarity of the message.
• Use grammatical words classes, systems, word order, patterns, rules, and
11. • Produce speech in natural constituents
• Express a particular meaning in different grammatical forms
• Use cohesive devices in spoken discourse
• Appropriately accomplish communicative functions according to situations,
participants and goals
• Use appropriate registers, implicatures, pragmatic conventions, and other
sociolinguistics features in face to face conversations
• Convey links and connection between events and communicate such relations as
main idea, supporting idea, new information, given information, generalization,
and exemplification
• Use facial features, kinesics, body language, and other non verbal cues along
wth verbal language in order to convey meaning
• Develop and use a battery of speaking strategies.
12. TEACHING PRONUNCIATION:
THEN AND NOW
• Language was viewed as a hierarchy of related structures and at the base
of this hierarchy was the articulation of phonemes and their contrasts
within English and between English and natives languages.
• Pronunciation classes consisted of imitation drills, memorization of
patterns, minimal pair exercises, and explanations of articulatory
phonetics.
• Nowadays, pronunciation starkly contrasts with the early approaches.
Instead of attempting only to build a learner’s articulatory competence from
the bottom up, and simply as the mastery of a list of phonemes and
allophones, a top –down approach is taken in which the relevant features
of pronunciation—stress, rhythm, and intonation—are high priority.
• Rather than teaching only the role of articulation within words or phrases,
13. FACTORS AFFECTING
PRONUNCIATION LEARNING
• The ultimate goal of many foreign language learners is “accent free”
speech.
• Our goal as English teacher should be focused on clear,
comprehensible pronunciation.
• At the beginning level, learners surpass threshold beneath which
pronunciation detracts from their ability to communicate.
• At the advanced level, pronunciation goals can focus on elements that
enhance communication: intonation features that go beyond basic
patterns, voice quality, phonetic distinctions between register, and other
refinements.
14. SOME VARIABLES THAT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED:
1) Native Language
2) Age
3) Exposure
4) Innate phonetic ability
5) Identity and language ego
6) Motivation and concern for good pronunciation
15. A MODEL FOR CORRECTION OF
SPEECH ERRORS
• When and how should I correct the speech errors of learners in my
classroom?
16. AFFECTIVE AND COGNITIVE FEEDBACK
Teacher’s job is to discern the optimal tension between positive and
negative cognitive feedback: providing enough green light to
encourage continued communication, but not so many that crucial error
go unnoticed, and providing enough red lights to call attention to those
crucial errors, but not so many that the learners is discouraged from
attempting to speak at all.
17. • Hendrickson advised teachers to try to discern the difference, in learners’
language between “global” and “local” error.
• Global errors hinder communication; they prevent the hearer from
comprehending some aspect of the message.
• Local error, because they usually only affect a single element of a sentence,
do not prevent a message from being heard; context provide keys to meaning.
• It seems quite clear that students in the classroom generally want and expect
errors to be corrected. However, some method recommend no direct
treatment of error at all.
18. ERROR TREATMENT OPTIONS BY KATHLEEN
BAILEY
7 Basic Options
1) To treat or to ignore
2) To treat immediately or to delay
3) To transfer treatment (to say, other learners) or not
4) To transfer to another individual, a subgroup, or the whole group
5) To return, or not, to original error maker after treatment
6) To permit other learners to initiate treatment
7) To test for the efficacy of the treatment
19. 8 Possible Features
1) Fact of error indicated
2) Location indicated
3) Opportunity for new attempt given
4) Model provided
5) Error type indicated
6) Remedy indicated
7) Improvement indicated
8) Praise indicated
20. • Learners are indeed creatively operating on a second language
constructing, either consciously or subconsciously, a system for
understanding and producing utterances in the language.
• Teacher’s job is to value learners, prize their attempts to communicate,
and then to provide optimal feedback for the system to evolve in
successive stage until learners are communicating more clearly.
22. PRINCIPLES FOR DESIGNING SPEAKING
TECHNIQUES
1. Techniques should cover the spectrum of learner needs, from
language-based focus on accuracy to message-based focus on
interaction, meaning, and fluency.
2. Techniques should be intrinsically motivating.
3. Techniques should encourage the use of authentic language in
meaningful contexts.
4. Provide appropriate feedback and correction.
5. Capitalize on the natural link between speaking and listening.
6. Give students opportunities to initiate oral communication.
7. Encourage the development of speaking strategies.
24. 1. Pronounciation : Rhyhm and thought groups (wong, 1987: 46-47)
The following sentences, all on the topic of contemporary superstitions and popular beliefs,
illustrate the use of pauses to separate prepositional phrases and clauses. These sentences can be
used with advanced level students; for students of intermediate proficiency, more appropriate
sentences should be selected. Heve students’ listen as you read the sentences that follow and
pause only at the points marked by a slash. Bthen have them practice in pairs with the listener
monitoring for pauses only at the places marked.
25. • Listening for pitch change exercise no. 1
• Listening for pitch change exercise no. 2
• Rising and falling pitch exercise no. 1
• Rising and falling pitch exercise no. 1
2. PROUNCIATION : INTONATION (WONG,1987: 61-
64)
26. 3. Prounciation : stress (nolasco & Arthur, 1987 : 67, 68)
4. Pronounciation : meaningful minimal pairs
Traditional minimal-pair drills, used for decades in language teaching go something
like this :
T : okay, class, on the board, picture #1 is a “pen”, and picture #2 is “pin” .
Listen : pen (points to #1). Pin (points to no #2) (several repetions). Now, i’m going
to say either #1 or #2. you tel me which ready? (pause) pin.
Ss : #2
T : good. Ready. Pin
Ss :#2
T : okay, (pause) pen
Ss : #1
28. 8. Interactive techniques
Interactive techniques are almost impossible to categorize, but here few of possible types,
gleaned simply from the table of contents of friedenk klippel’s highly practical little resource
book, keep taking : comunication fluency activities for language teaching (1984):
• Interviews
• Guessing games
• Jigsaw tasks
• Ranking exercises
• Discussions
• Values clarification
• Problem-solving activities
• Role play
• simulations
29. 9. Individual practice : oral dialogue journals
For extra-class practice, aside from recommending that your
students seek out opportunities for authentic use of english ,
several teacher trainer (celce-murcia and goodwin, 1991;
macDonald, 1989) recommended using oral dialoque journals.
Written dialog journals (where the student records thoughts,
ideas, reactions, and the teacher reads and responds with written
comments have bee n use for some time.
