Abstract:
Video recording has long been used in foreign language education to study learners’ performance and to improve their language skills. Recent studies show that viewing not only their own recordings, but also those of other students, enhances students’ motivation for language learning. This is our third replication study, in which we examined how model video observation affected the quality of students’ oral performances, using model videos of non-native speakers of English. The participants were 31 Japanese students enrolled in English communication courses at a university in urban Tokyo. In Spring 2016, 19 students (Class 1) were shown recordings of exceptional and average model videos prior to delivering their second and third presentations, respectively; in Fall 2016, 12 students (Class 2) were shown the model videos in the opposite order. Self- and peer evaluations were conducted, following each of the students’ three presentations, and analyzed in conjunction with responses to an open-ended questionnaire. The results indicated no significant effect on the self-evaluation scores in either class, while the third presentation was rated significantly higher by peers than the second presentation for Class 1. These findings disagreed with our previous replication research, where students who had observed the average models before exceptional ones were rated higher in the third presentation, suggesting that the model observation sequence had an impact on students’ oral performance. The current study showed counter-intuitive results, considering our experiences in routine EFL settings. Further elaborated quasi-experimental design will be discussed, including the examination of the validity of dependent variables.

Day five and last day of the 2020 Year 6 Camp to Kalgoorlie.
It is wet and drizzling. Have to drive out and check Two_Up School can be accessed along the dirt road out of Kalgoorlie. All is good and that is our first place to visit. After that it is off to buy some things to enjoy on the long trip home. Then it is back to the camp school to say out good-byes and Thank-yous, before going to the railway station. Luckily we put all the bags on the bus early before we went ot.
Day 4 started with a visit to the Kalgoorlie Town Hall, followed by one of the KCMG Superpit. In the evening the students enjoyed a movie and or games night in the games room. Unfortunately the table tennis was damaged, disappointing some of the students
Visit to Boulder Town Hall with the amazing and irreplaceable Philip Goatcher hand-painted Stage Curtain. Followed by Hannan's Tourist Mine to see all the old equipment and memorability and maybe buy a souvenir or two. In the evening, a visit to the Goldfields Oasis Swimming Centre for a fun evening there.
Recent Junior Maths Night held at Wattle Grove attended by 65 family groups rotating through 8 classes to complete the activities there. There were lots of fun maths activities for them to complete in each one as they went.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
