The document provides an overview and analysis of James Joyce's modernist novel Ulysses. It summarizes that the novel follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus over the course of a single day in Dublin, mirroring the plot of Homer's Odyssey. While seemingly focused on ordinary events, Joyce portrays the day in an experimental style using stream-of-consciousness narration and multiple perspectives to explore themes of love, memory, religion, and identity in early 20th century Ireland.

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.

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.

Ulysses-James Joyce.docx
1. Ulysses
English Literature for Exams* James Joyce Ulysses
ÎN DESFĂȘURARE
LITERARY TREND AND AUTHOR CANON
Joyce is one of the most representative Modernist writers. His last novel, “Finnegans
Wake” experiments with post-modern writing techniques.
Modernist traits in Joyce’s prose:
stream-of-consciousness narrative technique;
absurdist drama techniques;
overturns religious symbolism;
experimental narrative techniques:
free indirect discourse;
mimicking of an infant’s language;
parody of the stylistic evolution of the English language;
parody of cliches of pulp magazines;
a combination between the Catholic Catechism and a scientific lexicon;
personal reinterpretations of myth and history;
labyrinthic narrative and highly complex and recursive form;
sense of humour that stems from the obscurity of the message.
ULYSSES (published 1922)
LITERARY GENRE
Genre: a modernist novel
Non-chronological.
Experiments with time representation and perception: literary devices – temporal
juxtapositions, sudden jumps.
Focus on the inner world of the character: literary devices – stream of consciousness,
memory, perception.
The plot is replaced by specific modernist patterns: time, place, character, leitmotifs,
symbols, mythic patterns, and cinematic devices (space and time montage).
Theme: atemporal, eternal conflicts of the soul, philosophy.
Range: limited, presented subjectively. Life is chaotic, disordered, fragmentary.
Narration: subjective, limited point of view or combination of points of view.
Structure: open form.
It is a modernist novel because it seems to focus on something ordinary (a day in the life
of Leopold Bloom) but it portrays it as something extremely strange and unfamiliar,
2. compared to the Greek myth of Odysseus (Ulysses in translation). The narrative present
(June 16th
, 1904) becomes the moment of manifestation for countless intellectual
divagations (literary, philosophical, historical, linguistic, religious, scientific).
Inspiration: a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer’s epic poem the
“Odyssey”. Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer’s “Iliad” and other works in that same
epic cycle. Ulysses is the English translation of the name. He symbolises a heroic attitude
and an adventurous spirit.
SETTING
1904
Dublin
Characters are inspired from real life;
Dublin’s descriptions are extremely vivid;
The novel intertwines itself in real life.
THEMES
Main theme: Love. Most characters in the novel struggle with problems related to love,
whether it is spiritual, physical, or in the form of patriotism. Leopold Bloom’s take on the
world is shaped by love because his great power is empathy. In this sense, the character
becomes a hero in the Homeric sense, as his capacity for sympathy and compassion is
directed towards all beings. He becomes a modern hero, similar in his capacity of love to
Homer’s Odysseus, a classical hero capable of adapting to challenges.
Themes related to love:
Patriotism: can lead to a narrow-minded perspective of the world;
Sex: perceived as natural, but prone to making life complicated.
Other themes:
Memory and past;
Time;
Existence;
Religion;
Prejudice;
Mortality;
Freedom;
The need for multiple perspectives.
CONFLICT
3. The novel follows the events which occur in a twenty-four-hour period in Dublin. The plot
is structured to imitate the plot of Homer’s Odyssey (Ulysses is the Latinised form of the
Greek name Odysseus). Stephen Dedalus gets up in the morning, talks to some friends
then goes to work, where he teaches. Later, he meets Bloom and other friends and they
go out drinking. He visits a brothel and gets into a fight with British soldiers. Bloom takes
him home, and then Dedalus returns to his home. Leopold Bloom eats breakfast, then
picks up a letter from a woman with whom he has an illicit erotic correspondence (he is
married to Molly). He then attends a funeral, runs errands, and meets his friends in a pub.
He assists Dedalus when he is injured in the red-light district. Bloom provides most of the
fantasies, memories, and speculations that make up the greatest part of the novel. Molly
Bloom has an affair that her husband knows about. Her section mostly consists of sexual
and romantic fantasies and memories.
CHARACTERS
Characters presented in the analysis of the literary fragment should be adapted to the
fragment itself.
Leopold Bloom – 38 years old, works in advertising in Dublin. Raised by a Hungarian
Jewish father and an Irish Catholic mother. He is compassionate, curious, and loves music.
He enjoys reading about science and discussing his knowledge. He is affected by his
estrangement from his wife.
Molly (Marion) Bloom – 33 years old, good-looking, and flirtatious. She is not educated,
but clever and opinionated. She works as a professional singer and was raised by her Irish
father, Major Brian Tweedy, in Gibraltar. She is impatient with her husband and
exasperated by the fact that he refuses to be intimate with her since their son’s death,
eleven years ago.
Stephen Dedalus – an aspiring poet in his early twenties. He is intelligent and well-read
and likes music. He is friends with medical students, but he is an introvert who exists
mostly in a cerebral way. After his mother’s death, he loses his faith, although he was
raised in a religious environment. He struggles with issues of faith and doubt.
POINT OF VIEW
Multiple, unconfined – the reader is exposed to multiple perspectives (Leopold Bloom’s,
Stephen’s and Molly’s):
The narrator of the story has access to the intimate thoughts of the three main characters
and limited access to the minds of other characters;
When a character’s thoughts are exposed, the narrator uses the stream of consciousness
technique.
TONE
The reader is never exposed to the author’s real tone, as the narrative discourse is a
continuous play with attitudes and styles.
4. May mimic a serious attitude, but in reality, the author is always playful and mostly
parodic;
In elevating the main characters to the statute of epic heroes, the narrator is sympathetic
and compassionate towards them.
STYLE
The style is extremely varied, as Joyce mimics countless types of writing styles:
Newspaper headlines;
Parodies of varied styles;
Satire of sentimental literature for young girls;
Surrealist play based on dreamscapes;
Catechism style;
Re-enactment of the development of the English language from early translations of
Latin to the author’s contemporary Dublin slang.
Language is closely linked to content.
If the characters are tired – the prose is simple and boring;
If the characters dance – the words dance on the page, too;
When Bloom wanders around Dublin and feels tired and depressed – the words become
halting, hesitating.
The purpose of playing with the different types of style is to prove that there is an
inherent connection between content and style, as they each depend on the other.
Molly’s Monologue at the end of the novel
Transcribes her sensations, most intimate thoughts and emotions;
Follows the rhythm of consciousness;
Confuses the reader, because there is a complete disregard for traditional syntax,
punctuation and coherence;
Based on the principle of free association of ideas and images – the description of
Gibraltar is made up of images appealing to senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste)
Can be divided into 3 parts:
Molly remembers the day Leopold proposed to her,
Molly recalls memories from her childhood in Gibraltar,
Memories of her first lover in Gibraltar merge into memories of Bloom on the day he
proposed.
