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.

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.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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”.
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.

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.
2. Reflection
“Peace is absurd: Fascism does not
believe in it.” - Benito Mussolini, Fascist
Dictator
3. Thought quote
a. “They saw human skeletons and skulls in the ovens of
the crematorium. In the yard outside, they saw a heap
of white human ashes and bones… [The] dead were
stripped of their clothing and lay naked, many stacked
like cordwood waiting to be burned at the crematory. At
one time 5,000 had been stacked on the vacant lot next
to the crematory… At headquarters of the SS troops
who ran the place were lamp shades made from human
skin… Often, the guide said, the SS wished to make an
example of someone in killing him… They used what I
call hay hooks, catching him under the chin and the
other in the back of the neck. He hung in this manner
until he died.” -German Captain Luther Fletcher after
being showed what his country had been doing
4. Turning back the German
Army
1942 victories won
in Europe as well
Stalin used the
lend-lease act to
his advantage
Churchill believed
that attacking the
edges could lead
to more victories
5. Big Three Diplomacy
While allied cooperation gained military
victories in both Europe and the Pacific,
negotiations over the postwar peace
proved more difficult
Churchill thought only stable Europe and
not an organization could preserve peace
Staling wanted to annex certain lands to
protect Soviet peace
Roosevelt wanted to balance power under
the “Four Policemen” (USSR, US, UK and
China
6. Battle of the Atlantic
Once the US entered the
war the German
submarines had a hey-
day with their ships
Allied oil was rationed
Navy set up a convoy
system
New technology
7. Operation Overlord
Operation Overlord was the name of the plan to invade
to take France back
General Eisenhower was in command of the invasion
Hitler thought (though he wasn’t sure) that the Allies
would enter France in Pas-de-Calais
In order to trick them the Allies placed inflated rubber
tanks, empty tents, and dummy landing crafts
The Allies had planned on not Pas-de-Calais but
Normandy
The invasion started under the call of night
It was known as D-Day
8. D-Day
D-Day took place on June 6, 1944
paratroopers, artillery and bombers helped the troops to get
there
Omaha beach: Intense German fire almost led to an American
retreat
General Omar Bradley was in charge of Omaha beach and he
almost made plans for the evacuation
Eventually however enough troops landed that they were able
to push forward
over 35,000 troops landed at Omaha, 28,000 at Utah beach
with over 75,000 British and Canadian as well
May 7th, 1945 Germany surrendered unconditionally after
Battle of the Bulge
May 8th, 1945 was declared V-E Day or “Victory in Europe”
9. Tehran and Yalta
November 1943 Feb 1945 in Yalta
Italy had Allied differences
surrendered, war on how to deal
was going well with Poland and
against Germany Germany
Teheran They did agree to
Conference turn attentions to
First meeting Japan after
together of big Germany was
three defeated
10. Iwo Jima and Okinawa
in order to be effective the Allies needed to capture an
island that was closer
geography
dormant volcano volcanic ash
vast numbers of caves and bunkers connected
by miles of tunnels
February 19,1945 troops landed on Iwo Jima
difficult to get through the soft ash, lots of death
Invasion of Okinawa
April 1, 1945 troops landed
Japanese took up the defensive position and
dug in
June 22, 1945 with the death of 12,000 marines
were able to take Okinawa
11. Death of Roosevelt
Many people were critical of the results
of the Yalta Conference
April 12, 1945 Roosevelt while sitting for
a portrait he complained of a “terrific
headache” then fell unconscious and 2
hours later he was dead
Harry Truman replaced FDR. Truman
was very decisive in comparison to FDR
12. Potsdam Conference
July 1945 at Potsdam (just outside
Berlin)
President Truman met Churchill and
Stalin for the first time
Two topics: Germany’s political fate and
how much they should pay in reparations
Stalin insisted on $10 billion in
reparations
US and UK lowered theirs
13. The Manhattan Project
Project to build an atomic
bomb
July 16, 1945 the first bomb
was detonated in
Alamogordo, NM
Underground detonation
When Truman found out
he “told the Russians
just where they got on
and off and generally
bossed the whole
meeting” in Potsdam
14. Stalin and the bomb
Few scientists recommended against
using the bomb
Rather than tell Stalin directly about the
bomb, Truman mentioned that the US
had a weapon of “awesome
destructiveness”
Privately Churchill and Truman decided
to drop the bomb with only a veiled
threat of “inevitable and complete”
destruction if Japan didn’t surrender
unconditionally
15. Stalin and the bomb
Some experts believed that a combat
demonstration of the bomb would shock
Stalin into behaving less aggressively in
postwar negotiations
Most evidence points to the face that
Truman wanted to end the battle quickly as
Japan promised to be a bloody conflict
16. Drop the Bomb
August 6th 6 B-29s left to drop two atomic
bombs on Japan
August 6, 1945 the Enola Gay dropped the
bomb (Little Boy) on Hiroshima
Another atomic bomb named “Fat Man” was
dropped on Nagasaki on the 9th of August
About 140,000 died in the blast
The Japanese emperor ordered that his
government surrender.
August 15, 1945 was declared V-J Day.
The war was finally over.
