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.

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.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. How many words per week do you think
students should be required to learn?
You will probably be able to
thoroughly teach only a few new
words per week— perhaps 8 or 10!!
Remember-those would include words in ALL
subject areas—not just reading!!
SELECTION OF VOCABULARY WORDS
3. What words should you teach?
Focus on three types of words:
– Important- integral for understanding a concept
or the book
– Useful- words that might be used again and again
across contexts and in conversation
– Difficult- multiple meaning and idiomatic
expressions- These can be especially difficult.
Content related words (i.e. photosynthesis, map
key, scale, etc.)
SELECTION OF VOCABULARY WORDS
4. • Tier 1-requires no instruction, concepts that are already
familiar (i.e. baby, cry, house, etc.)
• Tier 2-More sophisticated synonyms for words many children
know—can be used “daily.” Students encounter these words
in texts, less often in spoken language (i.e. infant, bawled,
residence, etc.)
• Tier 3-Content/Domain specific-words used in content areas
like science, social studies, history, and or math classes (i.e.
volcano, atmosphere, cumulus cloud, Emancipation
Proclamation, Pythagorean theorem)
Tiered Words
5. • Teaching or assigning words from textbooks just
because they are highlighted in some way (italicized,
bold face print, etc.).
• Teaching or assigning words just because they
appear in a list at the end of a text chapter.
• Assigning words the teacher cannot define.
• Assigning large quantities of words.
• Assigning words that students will rarely encounter
again.
Avoid
6. 1. Introduce the word “fancy.”
Read the word to the students
“Say the word fancy with me. Look at the
little word “fan” and then the ending “cy”.
The c makes an s sound and they y makes
a long e sound in this word”
Say it in a sentence.
“I like to dress up in my fancy clothes when I go to a party.”
An example of explicit instruction:
7. 2. Provide a Student Friendly Definition
“Fancy means to go above the normal. It is more
than your ordinary, every day stuff.”
• Student-Friendly Explanation (Beck, McKeown, & Kucan,
2003)
– Uses known words.
– Is easy to understand.
8. 3. Illustrate the word with examples or pictures.
• Here are some pictures of some fancy things.
• “Let’s take a look. There are some ladies in fancy dresses. The
dresses are very formal; there are not the kinds of dresses we
wear everyday to school or work. The dogs are fancy with
their hats and bows. We even see a fancy table setting.”
9. 4. Check for understanding.
• Look at this picture of these men. Are they fancy?
Why or why not?
• What kinds of things do you wear when you are
being fancy? Or what do you see your mom or
dad wear when they dress in fancy clothes?
10. -Review the words after you finish the book.
-Match the words to the corresponding
pictures/concepts in the book.
-Use the word in other contexts/conversations
during the day.
-It is also helpful to require students to actively
work with words, use in sentences, redefine,
classify, etc.
Provide multiple exposures
11. Examples:
•“Touch the picture that shows a
‘troop’.”
•“Touch the picture that shows that
someone is ‘victorious’. What does it
mean to be ‘victorious’?”
•“Touch the picture that shows
someone is happy about something
they did. What is the vocabulary
word?”
•“Touch a picture that shows someone
has done something that is hard. What
is the vocabulary word?”
•“Touch the picture that shows
‘farewell’. What does ‘farewell’
mean?
Another Vocabulary Review Idea
The students all have a page with the vocabulary pictures. The teacher asks
questions and the students point to pictures or chorally respond to questions.
12. 1. Together, review “tier 2 words”, their meaning, what
they may look like.
2. Have students read a book, paragraph, chapter, etc.
3. As they read, remind them to attend/look for tier 2
words.
4. After reading, distribute the vocabulary overview
guide for students to complete.
5. Upon completion, have students share their tier 2
words identified from their reading.
6. Be sure to refer and use tier 2 words in your daily
instruction or display on a word wall if these are
important for student understanding.

15. Example of Independent Activities:
Day 1: Write new vocabulary words on vocabulary cards to add to a vocabulary ring or
vocabulary card file.
Day 2: Write student-friendly definitions on back of vocabulary cards.
Day 3: Complete Word Diagram or Four Square Page with 4 new vocabulary words.
Day 4: Complete Word Diagram or Four Square Page with 4 new vocabulary words.
Day 5: Partner up and test each other on vocabulary definitions (using vocabulary
cards students take turns saying the word and the other student gives the student-
friendly definition -- or -- one student gives the student-friendly definition and the
other student says the word).
Vary the Types of Independent Vocabulary
Practice Activities!
18. • Many words in the English language are made up of
words parts called prefixes, roots, and suffixes.
– These word parts have specific meanings that, when
added together, can help you determine the meaning of
the entire word.
• Example: The students thought the book was
incomprehensible.
– in = not
– Comprehen = to understand
– ible = able to do something; also changes this word from verb to
adjective
– incomprehensible = not able to understand
Using Structural Analysis in Vocabulary
Development
19. • In most cases, a word is built upon at least one root.
• Words can have more than one prefix, root, or suffix.
– Two or more roots – geo/logy: earth/study of
– Two prefixes – in/sub/ordination: not/under/order
– Two suffixes – beauti/ful/ly: beauty/full of- noun to
adjective/ly- adjective to adverb
• Words do not always have a prefix and a suffix.
– Some words have neither a prefix or a suffix – read
– Others have a suffix but no prefix – read/ing
– Others have a prefix but no suffix – pre/read
Structural Analysis
20. • The spelling of roots may change as they are combined
with suffixes – Root: terr/terre = territory
• Different prefixes, roots, or suffixes may have the same
meaning:
bi-, di-, duo- all mean two
• Sometimes you may identify a group of letters as a prefix
or root but find that it does not carry the meaning of that
prefix or root:
Ex. The letters mis in the word missile are part of the
root and are not the prefix mis- which means
“wrong; bad”
Prefix, Suffix and Root tables
Structural Analysis
21. • Try a word family tree for structural analysis
and vocabulary development (see example).
• Choose one content specific word for students
to process the meaning and structural
analysis.
