The history and political system of the United KingdomKarine Grigoryan
My presentation includes the British Empire and its role throughout the world, starting with its geography, where it is situated, then language, religion and population. I'll rebound the history of the Great Britain, how it has arised and developed. The UK has the most powerful political system with the head of constitutional monarch. What attracted me the most in the UK, is its policy and relations with the European countries, and also with its fourteen overseas territories. I pay attention to the conflict with Scotland, especially what kind of relations they have now. As the role of education in the UK is huge, I represent the educational system in the Great Britain. The capital city of the United Kingdom is London, which is also the most populous region and urban zone, so I’d like to present it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with its sightseeing, places that have historical significance, places that everyone should see at least once in their life. Moreover, I rebound the British culture, its Literature, Music, Film industry, Sport, and also British traditions and holidays, and its national symbols.

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.
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.

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.
2. The United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland,
usually shortened to the United
Kingdom or UK, is a sovereign
state in northwest Europe. It is
made up of four countries.
Formerly, these were the two
kingdoms of England and
Scotland, the principality of
Wales (all three on the island of
Great Britain), and the province
of Northern Ireland (on the
island of Ireland).
3. About 60 million people live in the UK.
Most people in the UK speak English.
There are several other recognized
regional languages, other than English.
They are Welsh in Wales, Cornish in
Cornwall, Scottish (Gaelic) and Scots
in Scotland and Irish in Northern Ireland.
The national anthem is called God Save
the Queen.
4. Wales was taken over by England in the 13th century.
In 1707, the Scottish and English Parliaments agreed
the Treaty of Union, which joined the two countries into
one country called The Kingdom of Great Britain.
By the year 1800, England had already had much
influence over Ireland for over 600 years. In that year laws
were passed in Great Britain and Ireland to merge the two
states. The new country was called the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland.
In 1922 much of Ireland became independent as the Irish
Free State (now called the Republic of Ireland) from the
United Kingdom. However, six northern counties of Ireland
continued to be part of the United Kingdom. The country
was renamed The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland.
5. Germany bombed Britain in World War II.
Winston Churchill was the famous Prime
Minister then. He was a Conservative. The
Prime Minister is the real leader of Britain.
Tony Blair was Prime Minister of the United

The weather of the United Kingdom is warm summers, cool winters and lots of rain
throughout the year.
7. The UK is a constitutional monarchy. The people of
the United Kingdom vote for a Member of Parliament
to speak for them and to help make laws for them. Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the queen of the UK and
is the head of state,but she does not choose what the
United Kingdom should do about things like education,
healthcare or other choices.

Kingdom is the Prime Minister, who is in charge of the
Government. Today, the Prime Minister is Gordon Brown,
who is the leader of the Labour party.
