This document provides an overview of the economy and various economic activities in Ancient Rome. It discusses agriculture, livestock, crafts, trade, and the role of cities. Farming was a major economic activity, with large villas cultivating crops like wheat, grapes, and olives. Cities served as centers for crafts like pottery and textiles, as well as trade within and external to the Empire. The military conquests, road network, and common currency helped facilitate expanding trade and economic prosperity throughout Roman territories. Roman cities had planned grid-like layouts organized around main roads intersecting at central forums.

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.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We can differentiate between:
1. THE ECONOMY OF ANCIENT ROME.
ECONOMIC
ACTIVITIES
In the
countryside
Agriculture Livestock
In the city
Craftwork Trade
4. In the countryside.
Main characteristics:
All farmland (and mines too) belonged to the state, which divided
it up among individuals for them to exploit. There were large villes.
There were improvements in farming technology: better tools and
irrigation systems, which improved efficiency and harvest.
The main crops farmed: wheat, grapes and olives.
The main livestock farmed: goats, sheep, cows and horses.
5. TOOLS
Plough and animal draught, such as oxen
IRRIGATION SYSTEM

6. In the city.
Cities where important economic and commercial centres:
• Most artists had their workshops in the cities.
• Some of the most common products produced were: weapons,
textiles, farming tools and pottery.
7. TRADE
The economic dynamism of the countryside and Roman cities
gave a boost to trade, so it developed intensely.
The main goods traded: agricultural products, craftwork,
minerals and slaves, among others.
There was trade not only within the Empire but also with some
places outside the Empire, so we can talk about:
• Some provinces specialised in producing certain
goods. For instance, Egypt was an important
producer of wheat and Hispania produced
minerals.
Domestic
trade
• From the Germanic territories, the Empire
obtained some products, such as leather, wood and
slaves.
• From Africa, gold, ivory and slaves, too.
• From the East, perfumes and other luxury products.
Foreign trade
8. THE EXPANSION OF THE ROMAN COMMERCE
Economic activities were favored by the territorial expansion.
The three main factors that allowed commerce to expand were:
Military conquest: allowed Rome to acquire wealth
and slaves and colonise new territories, allowing
trade to flourish and the stability to the Empire.
Land and sea travel: communicate between the
different parts of the Empire was easy thanks to an
excellent network of roads and ports.
A single currency: in Roman territories existed a
common currency. The most common coin was the
silver denarius, although there were other, such as
the sextercio.
11. 1.2. Roman cities
Roman cities were the main economic and commercial
centres, and were the political administration was located, too.
The cities layout was based on the roman military camps
(castras). As the Romans were very well organised, they planned
their cities carefully:
There was a main road that went from north to south called the
cardo. The main road from east to west was called the
decumanus. The rest of the roads were parallel to these two
main roads, so they made a grid.
Where the cardo crossed the decumanus, there was a big
square, called the forum, one of the most important buildings.
