Sarah Longlands - The Role of Place and Diversity
Sarah Longlands gave a presentation on local economic development and the role of place and diversity. She argued that the process of place making and objectives of economic development are often poorly aligned and disjointed, leading to inequality between and within places. She advocated for a more integrated approach to economic, spatial, and transport planning using the examples of Curitiba, Brazil and more resilient places that anticipate needs, initiate projects, design with the community in mind, implement through partnerships, and ensure long-term stewardship of places. This would help deliver better outcomes for communities.

Messy listening
A woman's job involves listening messily. She could see the movie "O__" a million times, as it is about a man singing his broken heart out who is given a chance by a goddess in the form of 10 days. The woman first saw the film with her friend, and they had a movie night watching it multiple times, making the film special to her.
Sportsmanship project
The document discusses good sportsmanship in sports. It states that good sportsmanship involves playing fair, playing your best for the team, and taking the results of the game well. It provides examples of good sportsmanship like helping other players, respecting officials' calls, and accepting wins or losses graciously. In contrast, it gives an example of bad sportsmanship from Andrew Bynum intentionally hitting an opponent after a playoff loss.

Movement and transport planning 2011, Noha Nasser
The document discusses 4 key principles for movement and transport planning in urban design:
1. Connect the development with the surrounding area through links to transit, key routes, and public spaces.
2. Define pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular movement routes separately within the development.
3. Design development blocks to be permeable with active frontages.
4. Create a clear hierarchy of street types including boulevards, high streets, and residential streets, designed for different purposes and with distinct urban qualities.

Chad Hurley is the co-founder and former CEO of YouTube. He graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and worked at PayPal, where he met Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who he later founded YouTube with. YouTube allows users to upload, share, and view videos. Some advantages of YouTube include being able to share videos easily and watch a wide variety of entertaining content. Disadvantages include a lack of parental controls and limitations on video length and size.
My Pictures Feb March
I took many pictures during the months of February and March. The weather was cold but provided opportunities to photograph snowy landscapes. Many of my photos from that time feature bare trees, snow-covered fields, and scenes of winter.
Correlation & Regression_
The document discusses exploring the relationship between population growth rate and two factors: level of urbanization and average fertility rate. Scatterplots and linear regression analyses show:
1) A weak negative relationship between growth and urbanization, with urbanization explaining only 6% of growth variation.
2) A moderate positive relationship between growth and fertility, with fertility explaining 55% of growth variation.
3) Non-linear regression models, such as logarithmic and quadratic, better explain the growth-fertility relationship than a linear model, accounting for up to 65% of growth variation.
Course Evaluation Summary Geelong
The document provides feedback from a two-day urban design and placemaking course in Geelong, Australia. The course was well-received, with an average rating of 8.5 out of 10 and a presenter rating of 8.6 out of 10. All participants found the course content excellent and relevant to their jobs and said they would recommend it. Participants represented various backgrounds and appreciated the visual materials and motivation to impact their communities.
Assessing grammar&vocabulary reflection
This reflection discusses the final assignment for a course which covered key concepts like validity and reliability. At first, the reflection author struggled to find a suitable technological tool to assess grammar and vocabulary, and was unsatisfied with initial results from the tool. However, after analyzing different aspects, their point of view changed as some features of the tool were properly built and could be useful for summative assessment to examine student learning processes and outcomes.
Speaking assesment test reflection
The student found the speaking assessment test to be an interesting task that included parts similar to oral exams from their language classes. While the test was piloted and deemed unnecessary at the end, the experience showed that exams require 100% clear instructions so students understand and do well on tasks, and time management is important to get reliable results given the number of students to assess and potential exhaustion of test raters.
Rubrics reflection
A rubric helped the author realize that building an effective rubric is complex and requires more than just inserting vague words like "few", "little", or "usually" between descriptors. Creating a rubric is a process of precisely defining what each term means. A rubric also aids in determining what criteria and skills should be assessed for a given task, but the appropriate criteria depend on the specific task assigned and must be tailored accordingly.
Theoretical framework reflection
The theoretical framework helped the student deal with new concepts necessary for their field and made them reflect on how university students are assessed and whether teachers have made mistakes. The task also made the student realize the characteristics that should be considered when assessing someone, such as whether the assessment is of a real-world situation, is practical, and truly tests what students have learned throughout the course.
Assessing grammar&vocabulary
This document summarizes the analysis of two online performance-based assessment instruments:
Instrument 1 assesses vocabulary and is reliable due to clear images and appropriate distractors, though it lacks time limits and level indication. It validly measures vocabulary size but lacks interaction, authenticity as it only uses multiple choice.
Instrument 2 assesses grammar and has clear instructions but lacks time limits and level indication. It validly measures verb tenses but has low reliability as items only have two alternatives allowing guessing. It lacks interactiveness and authenticity as items only use multiple choice with two alternatives.
Both instruments provide immediate results but lack feedback. Instrument 1 could reinforce vocabulary for various levels while Instrument 2 could be useful with computer access
Speaking assessment test
This document outlines the design of a speaking test to assess English proficiency at the university level. It includes:
1) Test specifications such as purpose, examinees, construct, tasks, and rubric. The test consists of two sections - comparing/contrasting pictures of holidays and discussing the perfect vacation.
2) Descriptions of the two testing tasks - comparing/contrasting pictures and reaching an agreement on the perfect vacation.
3) A sample analytic rubric used to score test takers on vocabulary, fluency, accuracy, organization, and interaction.
4) A sample test paper with the tasks and timing.
Rubrics
This document contains two rubrics for assessing language tasks. The first rubric is for an oral presentation where students describe a classmate using physical and psychological characteristics. It evaluates accuracy, fluency, sequencing of information, and length. The second rubric is for a listening task where students listen to teenagers discussing likes and dislikes and match each speaker to a sentence. It checks if students correctly matched each of the seven speakers.
Theoretical Framework
1) The document discusses principles of language assessment according to three authors: Backman and Palmer focus on test usefulness; Brown on effectiveness; and Coombe on theoretical and practical features.
2) Validity, reliability, practicality, and washback are key concepts addressed. Coombe's perspective comprehensively covers assessment features that should be considered.
3) Issues in the Chilean educational system include tests not measuring what is taught, lack of authentic materials, and lack of transparency and resources for teachers.

3) Issues in the Chilean educational system include tests not measuring what is taught, lack of authentic materials, and lack of transparency and resources for teachers.
Reflection 2
The document provides a reflection on coursebook evaluation from a teacher's perspective. It notes that while coursebooks were traditionally relied upon, most teachers now incorporate other resources like the internet based on student needs and demands. It also observes that coursebooks often focus mainly on grammar but students need to develop fluency, so teachers should supplement materials with activities to improve communicative skills.
Reflection 3
Teachers need ongoing professional development to improve their teaching skills and apply new techniques to meet students' needs. This can involve pursuing research to gain experience and knowledge about current issues. A professional teacher is committed to their work, students, and continuing education so they can provide the best outcomes, as the field is constantly evolving. Professional development ensures teachers look in the right places at the right times to develop their skills beyond the classroom.
Reflection 1 LLP
The document discusses a language learner's profile reflection. It summarizes that developing the learner's speaking ability was challenging due to a lack of vocabulary, but questions focused on daily life helped. The profile provided insight into the learner's strengths and weaknesses to focus on mistakes in writing, speaking and other areas. Applying the correct strategy based on the data helped the learner improve weaker areas and identify their own cognitive processes. Overall, it stresses the importance of gradually developing students' abilities and confidence in the classroom.
Classroom management
Classroom management is important for effective teaching and learning. The teacher realized they must set proper conditions in the classroom by managing a class of around 40 students in a small space. At this stage, teachers should understand their strengths and weaknesses for classroom management. One of the teacher's strengths is maintaining authority by speaking clearly and deciding roles, while one weakness is coping with critical moments without a backup plan. With experience and consciousness of techniques, teachers can gradually improve areas like managing disruptions.
Professional development
- The document discusses several topics related to professional development for teachers, as outlined by various authors.
- It examines goals for continuous professional growth, qualities of effective language teachers, the importance of classroom observation, collaborating with other teachers, and maintaining a commitment to lifelong learning.
- The evaluation agrees on the importance of setting goals, taking risks, and developing as a professionally competent teacher through practice and staying updated in one's field.
Coursebook evaluation
The document provides a summary of a teacher interview about use of coursebooks:
1) The teacher believes coursebooks should focus on students' interests and local context but should not be the only resource.
2) Coursebooks are frequently used for reading and vocabulary activities but less for grammar due to losing student focus.
3) The teacher supplements coursebooks with online activities to engage students when the coursebook is not relevant to them.
4) Developing communicative skills like speaking and listening is important, especially for lower-level students.
Language leaner profile
The document discusses using a language learning profile framework to analyze learners' language skills and strategies. It proposes examining learners' perspectives in different areas like grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary to identify mistakes and understand how they acquire a second language. The framework involves analyzing learners' cognitive processes and applying language learning strategies and metacognition to help them become more independent and proficient language users. The goal is for learners to recognize their own thinking processes and develop productive and receptive language skills.
Reaction paper
The document discusses theories of second language acquisition from various perspectives. It provides an overview of Krashen's theory of second language acquisition, which contains five main hypotheses: the acquisition-learning hypothesis, the natural order hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the input hypothesis, and the affective filter hypothesis. The summary also mentions Schumann's theory on the role of psychological factors like motivation, attitude, and culture shock. It evaluates Krashen's theory and whether it is possible for adults to acquire a second language according to other researchers like Lenneberg and his critical period hypothesis. The conclusion is that acquiring a second language is possible for all humans in different ways and that teachers need to foster proficiency by creating a supportive environment.
Whatmakeseducationinfinlandthatgood.
The document summarizes key differences between education in Finland and Chile. In Finland, learning is a shared process between students and teachers, rather than just focusing on exams and grades. Finnish teachers are also more committed to students and continually improving their skills through testing and innovative teaching methods. In contrast, Chilean education is more like a business, teachers follow standard curricula, and students have been protesting for free education from the government like Finland provides.
Words native and borrowed reflection
The document discusses how languages evolve over time through the influence of native and borrowed words. It explains that the vocabulary and meaning of a language are most impacted by a country's history and interactions with other cultures. While early language records are limited, words were initially needed just for basic communication and survival. However, as technology advanced and tribes migrated, languages incorporated new vocabulary from outside influences that reflected cultural changes and identities. The evolving nature of language through native and borrowed words continues today as cultures interact globally.
Words
This document discusses the origins of words in English and how the language has changed over time through borrowing words from other languages and cultures. It describes how Old English was influenced by Latin during the Roman invasion and Danish during Viking invasions. It also discusses the splitting of the Proto-Indo-European language into branches like Germanic and how Old English emerged from the West Germanic branch. The rise of London as a political, commercial, and cultural center helped its dialect become the prestige form of English.
Words native and borrowed reflection
The document discusses how languages evolve over time through the influence of native and borrowed words. As cultures develop and interact, their languages undergo changes by retaining some native vocabulary while also adopting words from other languages. This process of borrowing new words was particularly influenced by technological changes and migration, as new concepts and peoples impacted societies. The evolution of a language through both native and borrowed terms shapes its identity over time and is an ongoing process as cultural interactions continue.
