Vocabulary refers to the words used in a language. It can refer to all words in a language, words used in a particular context, or words an individual knows. When learning a foreign language, developing one's individual vocabulary is very important. There is an active vocabulary of words one uses and a passive vocabulary of words one understands but does not use. Effective vocabulary instruction teaches word origins and meanings, connotations, appropriate usage, relationships between words through synonyms and collocations, and how affixes change word meanings. Techniques for teaching vocabulary include matching exercises, working with synonyms and antonyms, asking questions using target words, exploring word relationships, and playing vocabulary games.

Saying more with less: 4 ways grammatical metaphor improvesacademic writingSteve Sorensen
Young children often write as they speak. But the way we speak and the way we write isn’t quitethe same. When we speak, we often use many clauses (which include groups of words) in asentence. But when we write – particularly in academic settings — we should use fewer clausesand make the meaning clear with fewer words and clauses than if we were speaking.

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.

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”.

1. 1.What is Vocabulary?
The noun vocabulary refers to the words used in a language.
The word vocabulary can have at least three different meanings:
1. All of the words in a language
New words are constantly being added to the vocabulary of English.
2. The words used ina particular context
If you want to do an MBA you need to improve your business vocabulary.
My neighbour is a doctor so he has an extensive medical vocabulary.
I've just bought a book on the vocabulary of slang.
3. The words an individual personknows
The teacher says that my vocabulary is good.
When learning a foreign language, our individual vocabulary in that language is one of the most
important micro-skills to develop. Of course, all micro-skills like grammar, vocabulary and
pronunciation are important. But it is far more difficult to communicate with no vocabulary
than with no grammar.
Active andpassive vocabulary
In our own individual vocabulary, there is a difference between:
words that we understand and use (our active vocabulary)
words that we understand but do not or cannot use (our passive vocabulary)
This is true for native speakers as well as for learners. In your own language, there are many
words that you use regularly when speaking or writing. These words are part of your active
vocabulary. And then there are many words that you understand when you hear them, on
television for example, but do not use in everyday speech. These words are part of your passive
vocabulary.
1.1 What needs to be taught?
Explore word origins:
Investigate the etymology of words and help students make connections within
and between words. Understanding of common word parts helps learners to
grasp meanings, even of words they have not encountered before.Create word
families based on a particular etymological feature. For example, find words with
‘aqua’ or ‘hydra/o’ in their spelling – both referring to water. Predict the meanings
of these words based on their smaller parts.
2. Explain the word’s connotation:
This is the relationship between the word and the feelings about it, whether
positive, neutral or negative. Understanding how words can be interpreted
enables students to use them with greater precision.Try compiling a word scale.
Place a word on one end of the scale and a word with opposite meaning or
intensity at the other. For example, if students are struggling to use words
instead of ‘said’, place the word ‘whisper’ at the lower end and ‘bellow’ at the
higher end. Students work together to build the scale, searching for synonyms
like ‘shout’, ‘yell’, ‘plead’, ‘intone’ and placing them at appropriate points on the
scale.
Explaining where and when the word is or isn’t used:
This can be anything from a word’s formality to its datedness. You might use ‘loo’
at home, ‘toilet’ in public or ‘lavatory’ at the Mayor’s Ball, and ‘ball’ would be
outdated. This helps students understand how words can make people sound.
Try demonstrating this by writing an inappropriately informal text to highlight the
importance of word choice. Alternatively, write an overly formal text to convey a
simple, friendly message.
Building the relationship from words to other words:
This is how students understand what words have the same, similar, opposite or
related meanings. Taking them through words synonyms, antonyms and words
or concept that build off words helps them develop their lexical stores. Set aside
time for word study. Provide graphic organisers to assist learners to make
comparisons and build connections.
Showing what words occur together:
This is called ‘collocation’ – it’s why we say ‘see the big picture’ instead of ‘see
the tall picture’ or 10 apples is fewer than 15 apples rather than less. Collocation
must occur in context, so shared reading is an excellent forum for this sort of
word study. But also have a bit of fun by using synonyms to create ‘nearly but not
quite’ versions of well-known sayings.
How affixes change meaning:
Most words can be changed by adding affixes – prefixes before the word and
suffixes after the word. But a rich vocabulary can be developed by understanding
the purpose of prefixes and suffixes and how they impact part of speech and
inform meaning.To help students get to grips with affixes and how they can
change meaning, select a ‘friendly’ root word and explore all of the word building
creations that are possible. For example, the word ‘social’ can be added to
create: socialise, socially, unsocial, antisocial, unsociable, etc
1.2 The importance of teaching vocabulary:
3. The language consists of words and without understanding those words , we lack the
means of understanding that language. Certainly, once the problem of the vocabulary
items is solved , consequently a great deal of the language teaching problems will be
solved.
1.3 Here are some techniques of teaching Vocabulary:
1.Matching exercises Divide students into groups Give them a list of words and their
meanings. The students will discuss these words. They may use dictionaries.
Anger determine
Conceal clash
Conflict fury
Dead hide
Decide obsolete
2. Write synonym and antonyms of given words in a box:
WORDS SYNONYM ANTONYM
Cheerful
Retirement
Create
Expensive
3. Working with your group, try to think of two or three questions you could ask the
class, using these words.
SUNNY , CLICHÉ , VULNERABLE, ABROAD
4. Look at these sets of words. How are the words in each box related to “PLAY’
PLAY
4. FOOTBALL MOBILE GAME
EXERCISE INJURY
5. Vocabulary Games
For example
STOP THE BUS
Animals Colours Countries Food
ALPHABETS ANIMALS COLORS FOOD COUNTRIES
P Panda Pink Pizza Pakistan
A
D
M
B
5. Legal Vocabulary Game:
There are some words given in word bank and student have to search those words from
the box.
