The grammar-translation method focuses on learning grammar rules and applying them through translation exercises between the target language and the student's native language. Vocabulary is taught through direct translation of word lists. Classes are typically conducted in the student's native language. Little attention is paid to speaking or listening skills. The goal is to develop reading skills through translation, not communication.
This presentation will explain about Grammar translation methog. It is method of foreign or second language teaching which makes use of translation and grammar study as the main teaching and learning activities.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
3. The grammar-translation method is one of the most traditional methods. It
was originally used to teach 'dead' languages (and literatures) such as
Latin and Greek, involving little or no spoken communication or listening
comprehension.
Characteristic of this method is focus on learning the rules of grammar and
their application in translation passages from one language into the other.
Vocabulary in the target language is learned through direct translation from the
native language, It is taught in the form of isolated word lists. e.g. with
vocabulary tests such as: the house = la casa the mouse = el ratón
In grammar-translation classes, students learn grammatical rules and then apply those
rules by translating sentences between the source language and their native language.
Advanced students may be required to translate whole texts word for word.
4. • to develop students’ reading ability to a
level where they can read literature in the
target language.
1
• to develop students’ general mental discipline. The
users of foreign language wanted simply to note
things of their interest in the literature of foreign
languages. Therefore, this method focuses on
reading and writing and has developed techniques
which facilitate more or less the learning of
reading and writing only. As a result, speaking and
listening are overlooked.

5. Grammar-translation classes are usually conducted in the students’ native
language. Grammar rules are learned deductively; students learn grammar
rules by rote, and then practice the rules by doing grammar drills and
translating sentences to and from the target language.
Grammar-translation classes are usually conducted in the
students’ native language Grammar rules are learned
deductively; students learn grammar rules by rote, and then

sentences to and from the target language.
More attention is paid to the form of the sentences being
translated than to their content. When students reach more
advanced levels of achievement, they may translate entire texts
from the target language. Tests often consist of the translation
of classical texts.
There is not usually any listening or speaking practice, and very
little attention is placed on pronunciation or any communicative
aspects of the language. The skill exercised is reading, and then
only in the context of translation.

6. MATERIAL
TEXT BOOK
to codify the grammar of the target language into discrete rules for
students to learn and memorize. A chapter in a typical grammar-translation
textbook would begin with a bilingual vocabulary list, after which there
would be grammar rules for students to study and sentences for them to
translate
7. 1
• Even if learning a language by Grammar-Translation
method trained mind in logical thought, there is little
evidence to suggest that this faculty is transferable
to other walks of life beyond the language classroom.
2
• This method gives pupils the wrong idea of what
language is and of the relationship between
languages.
3
• Deplorable to assume that language is only acquired
through translation skills, and this at the expense of oral
skills (imagine disaster in, comprehensive schools with
mixed ability classes)
8. 4
• Low translation standard - caused by
grammaticaltechniques which force learner to deduce FL
sentences 'by selecting from a multiplicity of rules and
exceptions and individualised words.
5
• In GB translation used to constitute the greater part of 'O'
and 'A' level exam ( oral getting 20% and 12% respectively
). Was this really useful / - only served small minority of
learners.
6
• IQ of average grammar school child not high enough
to cope with this method
7
• Worst effect of this method is on pupil's motivation.
Because (s)he cannot succeed - leads to
frustration, boredom and indiscipline.
9. Translation of a Literary Passage
Students translate a reading
passage from the target language
into their native language.
Reading Comprehension Questions
Students answer questions in the
target language based on their
understanding of the reading
passage.
Antonym/synonyms
Students are given one set of
words and are asked to find
antonyms in the reading
passage.
Fill-in-the-blanks
Students are given a series of
sentences with words missing.
Deductive Application of Rule
Grammar rules are presented with
examples. Once students
understand a rule, they are asked
to apply it to some different
example.
