Searching the Internet 'techniques'.
This document provides techniques for effectively searching the internet, including brainstorming search terms, using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) for more specific searches, truncation to include related terms, and phrase searching using quotation marks. Brainstorming involves identifying main ideas and related words to define the search topic. Boolean operators allow combining or excluding terms to narrow (AND, NOT) or broaden (OR) results. Truncation with symbols like * finds all word endings. Phrases within quotes searches for exact phrases together rather than separate words.
Sudan in our eyes
Sudan is described as a place of simple life and love where people believe that smiling is the key to happiness. The country is full of people who are willing to understand others and offer support by saying "I hear you and you are important to me." Sudanese people follow their dreams and never give up on accomplishing their goals, even if success is not easy. The document invites readers to visit Sudan to experience the true beauty found in the smiles of children and people going about their daily lives, and to see the historical places that tell the story of those who built the proud Sudanese nation.
Breaking
This document outlines two workshops aimed at building Sudanese teachers' competencies in using information and communication technologies (ICT). [1] The infrastructure for ICT in Sudan has grown rapidly in recent years, but it is still underutilized in education. [2] The first workshop focused on online tools for professional development but was above the teachers' levels and lacked follow-up. [3] The second workshop provided hands-on training for using ICT tools in teaching and professional development and included developing materials for future training.
Using web 2.0 tools
The document discusses using web 2.0 tools to better meet the needs of students in an academic skills course. The students were postgraduates conducting research in different fields with varying needs. Introducing web 2.0 tools allowed the instructor to communicate with students outside of class and provide course materials like a wiki with the syllabus, presentations on SlideShare, and a blog for student comments and questions. This helped address the short duration of the course and students' different research stages and questions.

The document discusses using technology like Skype to facilitate tandem language learning. Tandem learning involves two students partnering to practice a foreign language together through communication. Skype allows students to connect with native speakers abroad for language exchange. However, simply using voice chat tools is not enough - students need clearly defined tasks and goals to stay motivated. Educators must be trained to develop effective tasks that emphasize communication and maximize interaction between native and non-native speakers. As technology and online tools continue advancing, their integration into language teaching will help provide students with real-time global interaction and opportunities for autonomous learning.

Learning styles and multiple intelligence
Howard Gardner first developed the theory of multiple intelligences which divides human intelligence into 7 domains: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. David Kolb also developed a learning styles model that categorizes learners into four styles based on a four stage learning cycle: diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating. The document then provides descriptions of Gardner's multiple intelligence domains and Kolb's four learning styles.
Second Language Acquisition
This document discusses several key topics in second language acquisition:
- Children acquire their first language effortlessly while learning a second language as an adult is more difficult due to factors like less constant interaction and influence from the first language.
- There is debate around the existence of a "critical period" for acquiring native-like proficiency in a second language. Affective factors like embarrassment can also influence second language learning.
- Krashen's theory of second language acquisition includes the concepts of acquisition vs learning, the Monitor Hypothesis, the Natural Order Hypothesis, the Input Hypothesis, and the Affective Filter hypothesis.
English Language Teaching Methods
This document discusses various methods and approaches that have been used in English language teaching over time. It begins by defining methodology, approach, curriculum/syllabus, and techniques. It then outlines several historical approaches including the grammar translation method, direct approach, reading approach, and audio-lingual approach. More recent communicative and task-based approaches are also discussed. The document stresses the importance of considering students' needs, instructional constraints, and individual learner differences when selecting an approach.
English Language Teaching: Introduction
This lecture introduces a module on core issues in English language teaching. It discusses the history of English and Arabic in Sudan, from their introduction during colonial times to current language policies. It notes the linguistic diversity in Sudan, with over 170 languages spoken. English was the lingua franca in Southern Sudan under British rule but Arabicization policies in the 1960s-1990s marginalized English. Two civil wars were partly due to imposing Arabic in the South. The 2005 peace agreement made Arabic, English and indigenous languages official, with no discrimination on language use. The future of English after South Sudan's independence is uncertain.
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and collaboration on the World Wide Web through more dynamic and user-generated content. It emphasizes social communication, individual creativity, and allowing users to both read and write content online rather than just download information like earlier versions of the internet. Key differences between Web 1.0 and 2.0 include moving from simply reading content to actively uploading and sharing, and focusing more on social interaction than individual domains.
Why not use ict in sudan
This document discusses using information and communication technologies (ICT) in education in Sudan. It begins with an outline of the session topics, including definitions of technology and important ICT terms. It then discusses why ICT is not widely used in Sudan, providing facts about limited Internet access. The document reviews reasons for using ICT in education, including international standards and examples of successful projects like Hole in the Wall and One Laptop Per Child. It concludes with challenges to teaching English in Sudan like large class sizes and limited instruction time.
Blending Web 2.0 tools in the English language classroom
This document summarizes a presentation on blending web 2.0 tools in the English language classroom. It discusses challenges in teaching English, benefits students saw from using the internet to learn English, and preferences for group work. It then defines blended learning as a mix of online and in-class instruction and outlines advantages like accommodating learning styles. Khan's Octagonal Framework for blended learning is presented. The presentation shows how a learning management system and other tools were used, and characteristics of project-based learning. Results observed from a student project are shared, concluding that technology-assisted learning can empower students for life.
Sudanese people lifestyle
Sudanese people lifestyle\n About Sudan\n- Sudan is a diverse country that symbolizes how different cultures can blend together in harmony, as described by the author.
- Sudanese food is eaten communally and includes dishes like meat, vegetables and sauces eaten with flatbread. Strong sweet coffee and herbal teas are also popular.
- Popular music has a rich history though some artists have been exiled for political reasons. Traditional instruments include drums, string instruments and lutes.
- Young people represent the majority in Sudan and enjoy activities like sports, reading, television and hanging out with friends in cafes, parks and along the Nile.
Education in sudan
Education in Sudan consists of 11 years of schooling in three stages: primary, middle, and secondary education. Primary education is from ages 6-13 and is compulsory. The education system has undergone reforms, changing from a 6+3+3 system to an 8+3 system. Some of Sudan's major universities include the University of Khartoum, the oldest and largest university, as well as Sudan University of Science and Technology, Ahfad University for Women, and Blue Nile University. Girls' education has expanded since the early 20th century but was historically limited.
Sudanese Costumes
Sudanese clothing varies regionally. The traditional outfit for men is the jalabiya, a loose, ankle-length robe, while women wear the tobe, a long dress. In northern Sudan, both men and women cover most of their bodies due to the hot climate, with women wearing a full-body tobe and headscarf. In western Sudan, men may wear skirts and horns for ceremonies, while southern Sudanese wear shorter lawo cloths that allow for freer movement. Traditional Sudanese wedding outfits include the bride wearing a colorful tobe and the groom a white jalabiya.
Customs and Traditions 2
Sudanese people are known for their hospitality. They welcome guests with food and drinks, even if they are experiencing hardship themselves. It is considered polite by Sudanese culture to smile and make guests feel comfortable. Community engagement is also important, with neighbors volunteering together on construction projects and providing financial support during times of sadness or celebration. Traditional Sudanese costumes vary by region but include the galabia for men and toab for married women.

English Language Teaching
The document discusses the teaching of English language in Sudan. It covers the course content for English language teaching, key terms related to English teaching, and the changing status and policies around English in Sudan over time. Specifically, it notes that under British rule in northern Sudan, some primary and intermediate schools taught English, while education was left to missionaries in southern Sudan. It also describes the linguistic diversity in Sudan and how civil wars impacted language policies and the priority given to English teaching between northern and southern regions of the country.
The Changing Status of English Language in Sudan
Sudan has experienced linguistic diversity throughout its history due to factors like migration, population movement, and civil war. While Arabic became dominant in northern Sudan, over 44 languages were spoken in southern Sudan where education was left to missionaries. Two civil wars erupted over imposition of Arabic language and Islamic curriculum in the south. Currently, the Comprehensive Peace Treaty recognizes all indigenous languages as national languages and designates Arabic and English as official working languages of government and for higher education.
