This document discusses voluntourism and contains listening exercises related to science outreach programs. It begins with a definition of voluntourism as volunteer work combined with tourism. It then discusses the benefits of voluntourism according to Linda Stuart and contains listening questions about motivations for voluntourism and the types of projects done. The document concludes with students presenting alternative 5-day outing plans for a hypothetical trip and the class voting on the best plan.
Voluntourism – Are The Extra Hands Helping? by Amy McLoughlin of Pepy ToursWild Asia
Voluntourism is a growing travel sector and with it comes the pros and cons of volunteering abroad. For the volunteer, it can be a travel and learning experience, a new way of seeing the world while giving back, but for the local communities it may be disruptive, intrusive to local cultures and traditions or its benefits short lived. How effective and sustainable are voluntourism programs?
This was a presentation by @danielapapi given at the WETM conference in London on March 18th, 2014. It relates to responsible volunteer tourism lessons learned.

Learning and collaboration at a distance 121202Mark_Childs
A seminar produced for Warwick University comparing two different educational programmes that contained activities involving collaboration at a distance.
Project work, Field trips, Laboratory work, Journal writing, concept mapping,...DeepanshuYadav2
The key focus and desired outcomes for Project Work are:
1. Communication
2. Students can express their ideas clearly and effectively, both verbally and in written form.
3. Collaboration
4. Students can work as a team to achieve common goals.
5. Knowledge application
6. Students are able to make links across different areas of knowledge and to generate, develop and evaluate ideas and information related to the project.
7. Independent learning
8. Students are able to learn on their own, reflect on their learning and improve upon it.
Fun presentation to introduce figurative language to your ESL students, with a focus on idioms with body parts and colors. The presentation also includes a brief introduction to collocations and ends with phrasal verbs, with examples with the verbs: break and hang.
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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

•A speak will use a rising intonation that signals
items in a list. A speaker who is listing
examples will use rising intonation for each
item in a list except for THE LAST ONE. The
rising intonation works like a comma to let the
listener know the speaker is not finished.
