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.
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.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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. Reading
It is a cognitive process of decoding symbols
to derive meaning from text (as in reading a
book or reading music).
Three Components of Reading
1. Decoding
2. Comprehension
3. Retention
3. Decoding
Decoding refers to the process of translating a printed word into a
sound.
Two Skills in Decoding :
1. Identification Skill
2. Word Attack Skill
4. Comprehension
It is defined as the level of understanding of a text/message. This
understanding comes from the interaction between the words that
are written and how they trigger knowledge outside the
text/message.
Comprehension relies on a mastery of decoding. Children who struggle
to decode find it difficult to understand and remember what has been
read. Because their efforts to grasp individual words are so
exhausting, they have very little mental energy left for understanding.
5. Retention
The condition of retaining (keeping) something. It could be in the Short
term memory or Long term Memory.
The ability to retain, which relies heavily on a child’s decoding
proficiency and ability to comprehend what is read.

8. STAGES of reading Development
Stage 0: Pre-reading
- Preschool (ages 6 mos. To 6 years)
-”Pretending” to read, retelling story when looking at pages of book previously
read to the child
-Naming letters of alphabet; recognizing some signs
-Printing own name
-Playing with books, pencils, and paper
Stage1: Initial Reading and Decoding
-Grade 1 and beginning Grade 2 (ages 7-8)
-Learning relation between letters and sounds and between printed and spoken
words
-Being able to read simple text containing high frequency words and phonically
regular words
-Using skill and insight to “sound-out” new one syllable words
9. Stage 2: Confirmation and Fluency
- Grades 2 and 3 (ages 7-8)
- Child reads simple, familiar stories and selections with increasing fluency.
This is done by consolidating the basic decoding elements, sight
vocabulary, and meaning context in the reading of familiar stories and
selections.
Stage 3: Reading for Learning the New
- Grades 4-8 (ages 9-13)
- Reading is used to experience new feelings, to learn new attitudes.
- Reading generally from one viewpoint
10. Stage 4: Multiple Viewpoints
- High School (ages 15-17)
- Reading widely from a broad range of complex materials, both expository and
narrative
- Reading a variety of viewpoints
Sage 5: Construction and Reconstruction
- College and beyond ( ages 18+)
- Reading is used for one’s own needs and purposes professional and
personal)
- Reading serves to integrate one’s knowledge with that of others, to
synthesize it and to create new knowledge
- Reading is rapid and efficient
11. Three Main Reasons why people want to
read:
1. To read the Bible
2. To read books and newspapers
3. To help their children
12. Why is reading Important ?
1. Reading is fundamental to function in today's society.
2. Reading is a vital skill in finding a good job.
3. Reading is important because it develops the mind.
4. It is how we discover new things.
5. Reading develops the imagination.
6. Reading develops the creative side of people.
7. Reading is fundamental in developing a good self image.
13. 8. Good reading skills, especially in a phonics reading program,
improve spelling.
9. Reading helps to expand the vocabulary.
10. Only by reading can we be armed in this never-ending, life-
and-death struggle.
11. The fact of the power of written ideas communicated through
reading is a foundational reason why some governments
oppose free and honest communication.
12. Reading is important because words - spoken and written - are
the building blocks of life.
14. Reading Problems
Definition of Terms:
1. Reading Deficiency – a mild to severe retardation in learning to read
which is disparate with the individual’s general intelligence and with his
cultural, linguistic and educational experience.
2. Reading Retardation – Originally used to designate the condition of all
children whose reading was significantly below age and grade norm,
regardless of the children’s potential or intelligence.
3. Reading Disability – refers to retarded readers whose mental ability
should enable them to read considerably better than they do. This is
synonymous with reading deficiency.
15. 4. Underachiever in Reading – Restricted to those whose reading
performance is not below age and grade standards but who are judged to be
functioning significantly below their own potential level in reading. It is
used broadly to designate the slow learner, the disabled reader, the bright
underachiever, the reluctant reader, and the culturally or socially deprived
pupil.
5. Dyslexia – Defective reading which may represent loss of competency
following brain injury or degeneration, or a developmental failure to profit
from reading instruction. It is often genetically determined.
6. Primary Reading Retardation – refers to a sense impairment of capacity
to learn to read which, although there is no brain damage, this is based on a
constitutional pattern of disturbed neurological organization.
7. Secondary Reading Retardation – refers to a reading disability for which
the causation is mainly environmental or external.
16. Main Reading Difficulties
• Dyslexia
Although dyslexia typically affects spelling and writing, including
transposing letters and words, it can also contribute to reading
comprehension problems. When a student has this type of learning disorder,
he or she usually has problems with letter and word recognition, as well as
difficulties pronouncing words. It also contributes to slow reading speed.
Students who have these issues may have problems with overall reading
comprehension because there can be so many "roadblocks" that the overall
meaning of the words becomes indecipherable.
17. • Remedial Vocabulary
Many students with reading comprehension problems have
trouble with vocabulary and may fall behind their peers. They
typically perform poorly on vocabulary tests, as well as on
standardized tests. These shortcomings may affect a student's
self-esteem and make him or her prone to avoiding speaking
aloud in the classroom in front of other students and teachers.
18. • Memory Problems
Short-term and long-term memory problems can be
another aspect of reading comprehension issues. When a
student doesn't fully understand what he or she just read, the
student will have difficulties remembering the information.
Teachers can identify students with memory problems before
the issue gets out of hand by using pop quizzes and mini-tests
after reading sections.
19. • Omission of Words
Some students with reading comprehension problems omit
words when reading aloud or writing. This tendency could be a
sign of other disorders, such as dyslexia or vision problems.
When teachers see repeated behavior of this nature, and
carelessness has been ruled out, other reading comprehension
tests should usually be administered.
20. • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
A student with ADD may be at risk of having reading
comprehension problems because of an inability to concentrate
on material for long periods of time. Children affected by ADD
typically have short attention spans and have problems not only
grasping the meaning of paragraphs or short stories, but also
even comprehending a sentence.
21. Decoding Difficulties
• consistent difficulty sounding out words and recognizing words out of
context
• confusion between letters and the sounds they represent
• slow reading rate when reading aloud (reading word-by-word)
• reading without expression
• ignoring punctuation while reading
22. Comprehension Difficulties
• confusion about the meaning of words and sentences
• inability to connect ideas in a passage
• omission of, or glossing over, detail
• difficulty distinguishing significant information from minor details
• lack of concentration during reading
23. Retention Difficulties
• trouble remembering or summarizing what is read
• difficulty connecting what is read to prior knowledge
• difficulty applying content of a text to personal experiences
• inability to view content from multiple perspectives

• End of text summary
• Mapping a text
• Commonplace book
30. Points to Remember
Basic Principle of remedial Instruction
1. Treatment must be based on an understanding of the child’s
instructional needs.
2. Remedial Programs must be highly individualized.
3. Remedial instruction must be organized instruction.
4. The reading processes must be made meaningful to the
learner.
31. 5. Consideration of the child’s principal worth is
necessary.
6. The reading program must be encouraging to the
child.
7. Materials and exercises must be suitable to the child’s
reading ability and instructional needs.
8. Sound teaching procedures must be employed.
9. A carefully designed follow-up program is necessary.
32. Reading Teacher’s Role
1. Diagnose each student’s reading skills to ascertain the grade
level of the material that the student can read.
2. Diagnose each student’s reading skills to determine from a total
list of skills, which specific ones have been mastered.
3. Be aware of the reading demands and teaching strategies of the
content areas so that these skills can be highlighted and
reinforced.
4. Provide instruction in these skills at the appropriate level of
difficulty.
