Active learning is a form of learning in which teaching strives to involve students in the learning process more directly than in other methods
The term active learning "was introduced by the English scholar R W Revans (1907–2003).
Active learning is a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content.

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.
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 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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Learning Objectives
3. 1. Teaching is an art and an academic process. In this process
students are made motivated by a number of ways to learn.
2. Teaching is defined as a process in which students are
prepared for learning by providing initial structure to clarify
planned outcomes and indicate derived learning strategies.
3. The teachers provide assistance to enable the students to
engage in learning activities productively.
1.What is Teaching?
4. Teaching is one of the most respectful and valuable professions in
the world. In religion Islam, this profession has more importance as
our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) introduced himself as a
teacher.
Allah Almighty says in Holy Quran: “Like (a favor which you have
already received) in that We have sent among you a Messenger of
your own, rehearsing to you Our verses, and purifying you, and
instructing you in scripture and wisdom, and in new
knowledge” (Quran, 2: 151).
According to this verse of Holy Quran Holy Prophet (SAW) were sent
to teach about the Holy Book Quran, the wisdom and unknown
things to the people of this world.
We can understand the highest rank of teachers from the Quote of
Hazrat Ali (RA) in which He (RA) stated that: “If a person teaches
me one single word, he has made me his servant for a lifetime. “
2. Importance of Teaching Profession
5. The basic purpose of teaching is to enable learning.
For the purpose of teaching the teacher has to play five major
roles:
As a subject matter expert
As a Pedagogical expert
As an Excellent communicator
As a student-centered mentor
As a systematic and continual assesser
3. Purpose of Teaching
6. Alton-Lee(2003) has listed ten characteristics of quality teaching:
1. A focus on student achievement
2. Pedagogical practices that create caring, inclusive and cohesive
learning communities
3. Effective links between school and the cultural context of the
school
4. Quality teaching is responsive to student learning processes
5. Learning opportunities are effective and sufficient
6. Multiple tasks and contexts support learning cycles
7. Curriculum goals are effectively aligned
8. Pedagogy scaffolds feedback on students’ task engagement
9. Pedagogy promotes learning orientations, student self regulation,
meta cognitive strategies and thoughtful student discourse
10. Teachers and students engage constructively in goal oriented
assessment
4. Characteristics of quality Teaching
7. The concept of effective teaching is considered as a range of
factors that collectively work togeather and result in effective
learning.
Most of the people agree that the basic purpose of teaching is
to enable learning. There are vaious aspects of effective
teaching such as:
Effectively managing a classroom
Starting each class with a clear objective
Engaging students with questioning strategies
Consolidating the lesson at the end of a period
Diagnosing common student errors and correcting them that
can be systematically measured by observing classroom and
by asking students.
5. Concept of Effective Teaching
8. Teaching is fundamentally a process, including planning,
implementation, evaluation and revision. Planning
and teaching a class are familiar ideas to most instructors.
More overlooked are the steps of evaluation and revision.
Without classroom assessments or some other means of
receiving feedback on a regular basis, it is surprisingly easy to
misunderstand whether a particular teaching method or
strategy has been effective.
A teacher can create an environment of mutual trust and
respect by relying on students for feedback -- students can be
a valuable resource for verifying whether the class pedagogy
is (or isn't) working. Self-examination with feedback from your
students and the instructor are key to improving your
teaching.
6.Teaching Process
9. PLANNING
There are many different levels of setting goals for teaching,
from the scale of an entire semester (syllabus) to a single class
(lesson plan). You have the overall task of helping your students
learn how to think critically and to understand the basic
concepts and tools of your discipline. You should also have
more specific day-to-day goals, such as examining the social
context of Victorian women writers or demonstrating how to
integrate partial differential equations. As a graduate TA you
probably will not be responsible for designing an entire course,
but you should think about how your day-to-day teaching fits
into the larger goals of the course.
6.Teaching Process
10. REVISION
Revising your pedagogy will help your students learn... and
keep you interested. If you keep your focus on student learning,
you will find a richer meaning to the typical
lecture/discussion/test/grade process. Instead of an adversarial
relationship, the teaching process encourages a relationship of
cooperation and mutual discovery. Ernest Boyer helped
redefine the notion of scholarship, in fact, by including the
scholarship of teaching as a culminating activity of the research
process of discovery, integration, and application of knowledge
(Boyer 1990).
6.Teaching Process
11. ASSESSMENT
Regular assessment of your students and yourself is critical to
your success as a teacher. To really understand whether you are
teaching effectively and your students are learning effectively,
it is crucial that you actively and regularly assess what your
students have learned. If you are able to solicit meaningful
feedback from your students and the professor on a regular
basis (not just at the end of the semester), you can modify and
improve your teaching strategies. Assessments do not need to
be overly complex or involved. In fact, the more focused you
are in the assessment, the more impact your changes will have.
6.Teaching Process
12. IMPLEMENTATION
The best plans are meaningless if you don't try them. Although
most of the work in teaching comes in planning and
preparation, many great ideas are never implemented because
it was easier to just keep doing the same thing. Don't be afraid
if you have and idea you want to try. If something hasn't been
working right, why not change what you are doing and try
something new? Unless you are willing to change and
experiment, you will find it difficult to improve your teaching
skills.
6.Teaching Process
13. Some of the prominent strategies are as under:
Lecture Method
Lecture lays emphasis on the presentation of the content.
Teacher is more active and students are passive participants
but he uses question-answer technique to keep them
attentive in the class.
Teacher controls and plans for all acts of the students.
7.Teaching Methods
14. Demonstration Method
In demonstrating method, teacher actually perform in front of
students.
Students observe while teacher explain the event and
phenomenon.
7.Teaching Methods
15. Heuristics Method
It is also called discovery or investigation method.
In this method a problem is placed before the students and
they attempt to seek the solutions of the problem.
The learners get full freedom of working and thinking. The
number of devices are used for solving problems.
Teaching Methods
16. Project Method
Project method or a project has been defined in various ways.
It also involve the acquisition of much useful information and
inevitably inviolately affect attitudes and interest.
It is a problematic act carried to completion in its natural
setting.
Teaching Methods
17. Activity Method
Activity method brings the students close to the real life
situation.
Students get first hand experience in an environment in which
they are performing certain activity.
It is recognized that the directed activities give reality to
learning and effective teaching uses all available sources.
Teaching Methods
18. Discussion Method
The discussion method of teaching is a process in which a
small group assembles to communicate with each other, using
speaking, listening and nonverbal processes in order to
achieve instructional objectives.
There are group members, who have reciprocal influence over
one another and they are affected by the behaviour of one
another in the group.
The participants use the available time to communicate with
each other.
Teaching Methods
19. Problem Solving Method
This method is considered to be an excellent method since it
develops skills and scientific attitude.
Students become self dependent, self reliant and self
confident.
But this is a long and slow process in which too much stress is
laid on practical work.
It supposes that all the students are problem solvers.
Teaching Methods
20. Inductive Method
In this method, the child is enabled to arrive at the general
conclusion, establish laws or formulate generalizations
through the observation of particular facts, and concrete
examples.
A universal truth is proved by showing that, if it is true for a
particular case and is further true for a reasonably adequate
number of cases, it is true for all such cases.
Teaching Methods
21. Deductive Method
It is the opposite of the inductive method.
Here the learner proceeds from general to particular, abstract
to concrete and formula to example.
Teaching Methods
22. Drill Method
Thee is a repeated performance of a learning act until a
desired level of skill to do the act correctly is attained or the
teacher and student settle for a lesser level of competency.
In this method students are motivated to practice again and
again to achieve the level of competency in the particular skill.
Teaching Methods
23. Question-Answer Method
The Socratic strategy is known as question-answer strategy.
He assumes that all knowledge within the learner and teacher
has to unfold it by question-answer method.
In this method teacher should present the subject-matter in
such a way that learner recognizes the truth and he can
identify himself with it.
Teaching Methods
24. Micro Teaching
Allen (1996) defined micro teaching as:
A scaled down teaching encounter in class size and class time.
In this way, teaching is reduced to simple form.
Size of the class is reduced to 5 to 10 students
Duration of teaching period is reduced to 5-10 minutes.
Teaching Methods
25. There are different types of teaching methods which can be
categorized into four broad types. These are:
1. teacher-centered methods,
2. learner-centered methods,
3. content-focused methods and
4. interactive/participative methods.
Here the teacher casts himself/herself in the role of being a
master of the subject matter.
8.Teaching’s Types
26. INSTRUCTOR/TEACHER CENTRED METHODS
Here the teacher casts himself/herself in the role of being a
master of the subject matter.
The teacher is looked upon by the learners as an expert or an
authority. Learners on the other hand are presumed to be
passive and copious recipients of knowledge from the teacher.
Examples of such methods are expository or lecture methods -
which require little or no involvement of learners in the
teaching process.
It is also for this lack of involvement of the learners in what they
are taught, that such methods are called “closed-ended”.
8.Teaching’s Types
27. LEARNER-CENTRED METHODS
In learner-centered methods, the teacher/instructor is both a
teacher and a learner at the same time. In the words of
Lawrence Stenhouse, the teacher plays a dual role as a learner
as well “so that in his classroom extends rather than constricts
his intellectual horizons”.
The teacher also learns new things everyday which he/she
didn’t know in the process of teaching.
The teacher, “becomes a resource rather than an authority”.
Examples of learner-centered methods are discussion method,
discovery or inquiry based approach and the Hill’s model of
learning through discussion (LTD).
8.Teaching’s Types
28. CONTENT-FOCUSED METHODS
In this category of methods, both the teacher and the learners
have to fit into the content that is taught.
Generally, this means the information and skills to be taught are
regarded as sacrosanct or very important. A lot of emphasis is
laid on the clarity and careful analyses of content.
Both the teacher and the learners cannot alter or become
critical of anything to do with the content. An example of a
method which subordinates the interests of the teacher and
learners to the content is the programmed learning approach.
8.Teaching’s Types
29. A good teacher can make a world of difference in a student's
life, impacting everything from their classroom learning to their
long term success. If you're considering a career in education,
it's important to explore the qualities of a good teacher.
Research shows that good teachers are the single most
important factor that contributes to student achievement in
the classroom, more important than facilities, school resources
and even school leadership.
9.Qualities of Good Teacher
30. If any teacher possesses the following characteristics and
qualities, he/she can become a very good teacher with large fan
base:
1. expert communication skills
2. superior listening skills
3. deep knowledge and passion for their subject matter
4. the ability to build caring relationships with students
5. friendliness and approachability
6. excellent preparation and organization skills
7. strong work ethic
8. community-building skills
9. high expectations for all
9.Qualities of Good Teacher
31. So what makes a good teacher?
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) education faculty and
university students shared their thoughts on the qualities that make
effective teachers stand out.

students. ...
A good teacher-student relationship is crucial. ...
Keep your teaching CLEAR. ...
Be an amazing behavior manager.
A good teacher-parent and teacher-colleague relationship is

10. How best to teach?
33. When choosing methods to assess the effectiveness of your teaching,
use the following guidelines:
Avoid techniques that don't appeal to your intuition and judgment as
a teacher.
Do not allow any self-assessment to become a burden and a chore.
Choose techniques that will benefit yourself and your students.
Organization of subject matter and course
Communication
knowledge of the subject matter
enthusiasm for the subject and for teaching
attitude toward students
Fairness in testing and grading
Flexibility in approaches to teaching
Appropriateness of student learning outcomes
11. How to assess your teaching?
34. A lesson plan is a teacher’s daily guide for what students need
to learn, how it will be taught, and how learning will be
measured.
Lesson plans help teachers be more effective in the classroom
by providing a detailed outline to follow each class period.
This ensures every bit of class time is spent teaching new
concepts and having meaningful discussions — not figuring it
out on the fly!
12. Lesson Planning
35. The most effective lesson plans have six key parts:
1. Lesson Objectives
2. Related Requirements
3. Lesson Materials
4. Lesson Procedure
5. Assessment Method
6. Lesson Reflection
12. Lesson Planning
36. Need of Lesson Planning
A lesson plan is a road map of the instructions. It shows what
will be taught and how it will be done effectively during the
class time.Teachers requrie a lesson plan to describe their
course of instruction for one class.
The lesson plan is necessary to guide the instruciton.
A lesson plan is required to describe the preferences of the
subject being covered, activities being held in the class, and to
ensure the progress of the students about the lesson being
taught to them.
12. Lesson Planning
37. Lesson planning is beneficial for the teacher in many ways; such
as:
1. It helps in achieving goals and objectives and same can be
said on the part of the students
2. It helps to get rid of problems or avoid them
3. It gives a reality check of everyday performance
4. It improve the habit and attitutde of the students
5. It improves the teaching skills
6. It makes teaching ordinary and easy
7. It makes the teacher organized during teaching
8. It enable the teacher to impart the things the students can
do at the best of their abilities
12. Lesson Planning
38. Steps in designing a Lesson Plan
Introduction
The introduction is a way to warm up students, to ease them
into the class and to give them a context for what they are
about to learn.
Development
Development is an important part as it describes about
teaching, or “instructional methods” such as lecture,
discussion, labs, collaborative learning etc
Conclusion
Planning of how to tie it all together for the students is also
important. Tell them once again what they would learn and why
it is important to them.
12. Lesson Planning
39. What is Pedagogy
Pedagogy, most commonly understood as the approach to
teaching, refers to the theory and practice of learning, and how
this process influences, and is influenced by, the social, political
and psychological development of learners.
The definition of pedagogy includes the theory and practice of
teaching, the strategies employed in order to teach, the specific
interaction of teacher and students, the instructive content used,
the combined goals of the learner and teacher and the way the
content is presented and delivered to the learner.
Pedagogy is often described as the act of teaching.
Pedagogy involves being able to convey knowledge and skills in
ways that students can understand, remember and apply.
Pedagogical skills can generally be divided into classroom
management skills and content-related skills.
13. Pedagogy
