The document discusses various methods for teaching vowel pronunciation to English language learners. It begins by defining vowels and describing how they are produced without blocking airflow. It then outlines several techniques for teaching pronunciation, including having students feel throat vibrations, focus on mouth shapes, identify patterns in words with similar sounds, play matching games, listen and repeat, use minimal pairs, record themselves, use mirrors, introduce phonetic symbols, show vowel diagrams, sing songs, say tongue twisters, use rhymes, and complete pronunciation exercises. The overall aim is to provide students multiple ways to learn and focus on producing individual vowel sounds correctly.

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.
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.

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.
1. Teaching Vowel
Pronunciation

2. Definition : Vowels
( vocalis “ from the voice” )
• A letter of alphabet (a, e, i, o, and u) that
represents a speech sounds created by the
relatively free passage of breath through the
larynx and oral cavity
• A sound that is created without diverting or
blocking sound.
– Though vowels do not divert or block sound, there
is facial movement in creating them. Most vowel
sounds are large and we move the mouth a lot.
4. Vibrations
When practicing your English vocabulary, focus on the
vowel sounds by touching your throat when you are talking.
Vowel sounds are always spoken and when they are spoken, you
will be able to feel vibrations in your throat. This is also the case
for other letters as well, you will be able to feel whether you are
pronouncing the word correctly by counting how many
vibrations you feel. This may be quite an in-precise way of
assessing this, if you say the words slowly and clearly, you will be
able to count the vibrations accurately. Once you are feeling
more confident, you can speed up your pronunciation practice
activities
5. Mouth Shapes
• An important part of pronouncing vowel
sounds correctly, is shaping your mouth in the
correct way. For example, our mouth stretches when
making an 'e' sound, we makes a small round shape
when making an 'o' sound, and our mouth opens and
chin drops when making the 'i' sound. Mastering
these shapes can help to improve pronunciation.
Work in pairs and take it in turns to silently mouth
vowel sounds while the other guesses what the
sound was. Once you have mastered this, move on to
mouthing words while the other guesses the word
and which vowel it contains.
•
6. Patterns
• Words that share similar sounds can often be
paired due to the pronunciation of their vowel
sound. If the student's knowledge of the English
language is comprehensive, this activity can
encourage them to actively engage with the
language and its sounds. Select a word with a
prominent vowel sound and ask them to come up
with as many words which share that sound. For
example, a word such as 'cool' can be paired with
fool, rule, spool and so on.
•
7. Match The Cards
• In this activity, students should be given a series
of cards, each featuring a single word using
various vowel sounds. The aim of the activity is to
keep turning the cards over to find pairs of vowel
sounds. Often, students will need to sound the
words out and it will help them to establish the
correct sound. If the students are particularly low
ability or new to the English language, ask them
to work in pairs. This activity will encourage
associative memory of vowel sounds and their
pronunciation.
8. Listen and repeat
This will be the first and most common
method of teaching sound specific pronunciation
in English. You say the target sound and have
your students repeat it after you. If you are
teaching a long word with multiple syllables, start
with the final syllable of the word and have your
class repeat it. Then add the penultimate syllable
and say the two together having your class repeat
after you. Work backwards in this manner until
your students are able to pronounce the entire
word correctly.
9. Minimal pairs
• Minimal pairs are a great way to focus pronunciation
on just one sound. If you are not familiar with
linguistics, a minimal pair is two words that vary in
only one sound. For example, rat and rate are minimal
pairs because only the vowel sound differs between
the two words. Additional minimal pairs are pin and
pen, dim and dime, and bat and pat. You can use
minimal pairs to help your students with their
pronunciation by focusing on one particular sound. In
addition to the pronunciation benefits, your students
will also expand their vocabularies when you teach
minimal pairs.
10.
11. Record and replay
• At times, your students may think they are using
correct pronunciation when in fact they are saying
something quite different. By using a device to record
what your students are actually saying, you have
empirical data to play back for each person.
Encourage him to listen to what he actually said rather
than what he thinks he said. You may also want him to
compare a recording of a native speaker against his
recording of himself. In this way, your students will
have a more objective understanding of their true
pronunciation and be able to take steps to correct it.
12. Use a mirror
Giving your students a chance to view
their own physical movements while they are
working on their pronunciation can be of great
value. You can always encourage your students to
look at your mouth and face as you pronounce
certain sounds, but they will also benefit from
seeing what movements they are making as they
speak. Sometimes, becoming aware of the
physical movements involved in pronunciation is
all your students will need to correct
pronunciation issues of which they are unaware.
13. Phonetics
• When your students are facing a
pronunciation challenge, it could be that
English spelling is adding to the mystery of the
spoken word. Instead of spelling new
vocabulary out on the white board, try using
phonetic symbols to represent the sounds
(rather than the alphabet to represent the
spelling). If you were to use phonetic symbols,
the word seat would be written /si:t/ and eat
would be written /i:t/.
14.
15. Show a vowel diagram
• Show a vowel diagram
• If you are using phonetic symbols to help you teach
vowel pronunciation, a diagram of where each English
vowel sound is produced can be eye opening for your
students. Print copies to distribute in class or show
your students where they can find this diagram online.
When students know which area of the mouth in which
they should be making their sounds, they may have an
easier time distinguishing between similar sounds
because they are produced in different areas of the
mouth.
17. Sing
• Singing can be a good way for your ESL
students to practice their vowel
pronunciation. Because singing requires a
person to maintain vowel sounds over more
than just a moment, it can give your students
a chance to focus in on the target sound and
adjust what sound she is making.
18. Tongue twisters
Though tongue twisters are probably
more popular for practicing consonant
pronunciation, they are still a valuable
resource for vowel practice. Not only are they
a challenge to your students’ pronunciation
abilities, they add an element of fun to the
classroom that can help your students relax
and therefore free them to be more daring in
their attempts at English.
