A headline is a brief summary of an article printed in large letters at the top. Headlines use catchy phrases to attract readers' attention with 5-10 active words. Proper headlines use the present tense and infinitives, omit needless words, and replace conjunctions with punctuation for brevity. The goal is an accurate, specific summary that compels reading the full article.
Etymology is the study of the origin of words and how the meaning of words has changed over the course of history. Let’s get meta and take the word “etymology” as an example. “Etymology” derives from the Greek word etumos, meaning “true.” Etumologia was the study of words’ “true meanings.” This evolved into “etymology” by way of the Old French ethimologie. That’s all fairly straightforward, but there are many, many words in the English language that have unexpected and fascinating origins. Here are a few of our favorite examples.

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 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. HEADLINES
A headline is the title of a
newspaper/magazine story, printed in
large letters at the top of the story.
It is a brief summary of what the article is
about.
According to Webster’s dictionary,
headline is a head of a newspaper story or
article usually printed in large type and
giving the gist of the story or article that
follows.
3. HEADLINES
Headlines are mostly in bold, and use
catchy phrases.
The main objective of a headline is to
attract the attention of the reader.
Most of the time headlines use only few
words which are action verbs.
4. WRITING A HEADLINE
Headline should have 5 to 10 words
Should be accurate and specific
5. WRITING A HEADLINE
Use present simple tense for past events
The present tense is quick and current, and helps
emphasize the action happening, rather than
its completion.
Examples:
After Cong offers 2cr, Karnataka gives migrants
free ride
Convict escapes prison
If we want to demonstrate the result of an
action, or that something was completed, we can
useperfect tenses, and for changing events, the
present continuous may be used.
6. WRITING A HEADLINE
Active verbs to be used
Example: Film personalities sing
Lockdown special
7. WRITING A HEADLINE
Leave out auxiliary verbs
With perfect, progressive and passive structures,
auxiliary verbs are not necessary. This makes
some headlines appear to be in the past tense,
when actually the headlines use past participles,
or particles, not the past simple. Similarly,
changing events are represented by the present
participle.
Examples:
New policy decided by Parliament (New policy
has been decided by Parliament)
Seventy stranded in sudden flood (Seventy
people have been stranded / were stranded)
8. WRITING A HEADLINE
Avoid articles (a/an/the)
Examples:
US President visits Taj Mahal (The US
President visited the Taj Mahal)
Man releases rabid dog in park (A man
released a rabid dog in a park)
9. WRITING A HEADLINE
Use infinitives for future events
Examples:
Parliament to decide new policy tomorrow
President to visit France for further talks
10. WRITING A HEADLINE
Conjunctions to be replaced with
punctuation
Examples
Police arrest serial killer – close case on
abductions
Fire in bakery: hundreds dead
As with reporting speech, commas, colons,
semi-colons, hyphens and so on can replace
all conjunctions, or some joining verbs, to
join clauses. Commas may also be used to
join nouns
Husband kills wife, self
11. WRITING A HEADLINE
Numerals to be used instead of
numbers in words
Examples:
9 dead in lynching
4 days, general election
12. WRITING A HEADLINE
Repetition to be avoided
Example:
Headlines summarize; they don't repeat
the lead.
13. WRITING A HEADLINE
Unidentified pronouns not to be used
Example:
He scored maiden century
