Principles when Choosing Materials for Writing Tasks
The material discusses the principles that educators should pay attention to when choosing materials for writing tasks.
Principles to Consider When Choosing Materials for Writing Tasks
This document outlines 5 principles for choosing materials for writing tasks: 1) materials should suit students' level of knowledge, 2) connect reading and writing materials as they complement each other, 3) materials should reflect the teaching objectives, 4) materials should be attractive to engage students, and 5) materials should be flexible to avoid boredom and allow various options.
assignment 3
This document contains Norma Patricia Martínez Caamaño's reflections on content areas for an assignment. She indicates that the area of language learning processes interests her most as it includes aspects helpful for learning a new language. Planning and evaluation will be the most difficult area as it requires more time and detail. Martínez Caamaño has existing material for the language teaching area. She would keep trainees motivated during training by allowing practice of theory, providing feedback, and taking breaks. Progress would be evaluated by having trainees present examples to receive feedback from partners and the trainer. Learner autonomy would be improved by giving trainees time to read, analyze, and practice the material.
Presentation1
Communicative language teaching is a method that gives learners more freedom over their learning and focuses on using the target language for real communication. It aims to enable students to communicate in the target language and sees the teacher's role as a facilitator to promote authentic communicative situations. Some key principles are using language in real contexts, focusing on the process of communication over form mastery, establishing situations likely to promote interaction, and emphasizing authentic communication.

My teaching reflection
This document reflects on the author's experience teaching and their views on effective teaching methodology. It discusses how teaching requires consideration of multiple factors to be successful and engaging for students. The author realized teaching involves more than just classroom lessons, as each group of students has different needs. For lessons to be successful, the methodology, strategies, materials and activities must be tailored to the students. The author prefers the PPP approach for younger students and the communicative approach for older students, as each is more suitable to the students' language development levels. The author's future goals are to continue developing engaging lessons where students feel confident and interested in learning through a positive classroom environment and creative activities.
Reflection 1
The document discusses a language learner's profile and reflection. It describes challenges in developing the learner's speaking ability due to a lack of vocabulary, and realizing the need to promote communicative skills gradually. It also explains how the learner profile provided insight into the learner's abilities and mistakes in different skills like writing and speaking. This allowed the teacher to recognize weaknesses and devise strategies, leading to an improvement in the learner's weaker areas and an ability to identify their own cognitive processes. Overall, it stresses the importance of teachers taking a step-by-step approach and fostering students' abilities and confidence.

Evaluating Your Textbook
This document discusses evaluating textbooks for language courses. It begins by noting that choosing a textbook is difficult as the suitability is only clear after using it. The teacher is responsible for evaluating both students and the teaching/learning process, including materials. A good textbook should provide structure, varied materials, preparation time savings, teaching ideas, independent work, homework basis, and allow comparison to other schools. It should also give students purpose, progression, security, autonomy and referencing. No single textbook will meet all needs, but the best fit for teachers and students should determine materials rather than vice versa. The document provides a checklist for textbook evaluation covering layout, activities, language, content, guidance, and practical considerations. It emphasizes adapting materials to

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
