    “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

    As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

    Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —

    Only this, and nothing more."

    Ah, distinctly I remember it wasin the bleak December,

    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

    Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow

    From my books surcease ofsorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore —

    For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore —

    Nameless here for evermore.

    And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

    Thrilled me — filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;

    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,

    Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door —

    Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; —

    This is it, and nothing more."

    Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

    Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;

    But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,

    And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

    That I scarce was sure I heard you"— here I opened wide the door; —

    Darkness there, and nothing more.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,

    Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;

    But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,

    And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?

    This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" —

    Merely this, and nothing more.

    Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,

    Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.

    Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:

    Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore —

    Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; —

    'Tis the wind and nothing more."

    Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

    In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;

    Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;

    But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door —

    Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door —

    Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

    Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,

    By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.

    Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,

    Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —

    Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"

    Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

    Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,

    Though its answer little meaning— little relevancy bore;

    For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being

    Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door —

    Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,

    With such name as "Nevermore.”

    — Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven



    What is the central theme of Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven"?

    MEET THE TEACHER: AN INTERVIEW WITH RAQUEL RIBEIRO

    (by Lauren Pitts - Published 02 August 2019)

    Lauren - Can you explain why you think there is value in integrating technology into language learning and teaching?

    Raquel - The key values from my perspective are vocabulary expansion and acquisition, communication, and inclusion. Everything I researched and shared always pointed back to those principles. The first value I saw was related to the benefit of using dictionaries to expand learners’ vocabulary. Then, an article about how South Koreans were using QR codes to sell goods on subway platforms gave me the idea that QR codes could also be used for communication during classes. Inclusion became a new concern of mine when I met a blind student in a class with 15 other sighted students. I really wanted him to have the best learning experience possible and I realized that the QR code app had huge potential. And indeed, it could provide a more inclusive and communicative experience that turned out to benefit the whole group.

    (…)

    Lauren - From your perspective, what have been the biggest changes in language learning and teaching over the past couple of years?

    Raquel - If we look at Continuing Professional Development for teachers, we have shifted from a book era to an experience era. Teachers such as myself can voice our practices through social media and this has helped us support each other and find more creative ways to teach and engage our students. Through the internet, teachers in faraway locations can access conferences, events and courses more democratically. From the students’ perspective, there is more communication, interactivity and ways to bring the world to the classroom. There is a concern to include the diversity of cultures and respect for the accents of native and non-native speakers of English. Finally, along with the development of tech resources, especially apps, there has been a growing interest to include critical thinking as one of the literacies that we teach.

    The Israel-Gaza War: A Forum for Young People to React

    By The Learning Network

    Oct. 10, 2023

    On Monday, Israel ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza Strip as it retaliated for the attack, the largest and deadliest incursion into its territory in decades. Israeli jets launched airstrikes on Gaza, which Israel’s military said had destroyed centers that house Hamas militants. Palestinian officials said that a hospital had been hit, along with multistory buildings, homes, mosques and a busy marketplace, and that more than 700 Palestinians had been killed. Hamas threatened to respond to the Israeli bombing campaign by executing hostages.

    The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change, Revised Edition

    01 When The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change was first

    02 published in 2014, it offered something entirely new: a fun, illustrated

    03 guide to a planetary crisis. If that sounds like an oxymoron, you've never

    04 seen the carbon cycle demonstrated through yoga poses or a polar bear

    05 explaining evolution to her cubs.

    06 That creativity comes from the minds of Yoram Bauman, the

    07 world's first and only "stand-up economist," and award-winning illustrator

    08 Grady Klein. After seeing their book used in classrooms and the halls of

    09 Congress alike, the pair has teamed up again to fully update the guide

    10 with the latest scientific data from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on

    11 Climate Change).

    12 A lot has happened to the climate over the last decade, and the

    13 authors tackle the daunting statistics with their trademark humor. They

    14 realize it's better to laugh than cry when confronting mind-blowing facts

    15 about our changing world. Readers will become familiar with critical

    16 concepts, but they'll also smile as they learn about climate science,

    17 projections, and policy.

    18 Sociologists have argued that we don't address climate change

    19 because it's too big and frightening to get our heads around. The

    20 Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change takes the intimidation and

    21 gloom out of one of the most important challenges of our time.

    Five Challenges of Planning CLIL Lessons

    In the past years we have been seeing in Brazil a boom in bilingual education, with more and more schools offering bilingual programmes. This expansion had an impact on the English language teaching scenario in Brazil, and one of its consequences is that Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is becoming better known in the country.

    CLIL has a number of advantages in the context of bilingual education. However, as this is still something new in Brazil, we cannot ignore that it also raises a number of questions, such as the profile of the teacher who is going to teach CLIL lessons. Should it be a subject teacher with a good level of English, or an English teacher with some knowledge of the subject? No matter the case, there will be challenges, especially in the planning and preparation for the lessons.

    Mistakes help you learn

    Maija Kozlova

    May 19, 2021

    It is not uncommon for English language lessons to favour communication over accuracy: real life is nothing like a classroom! In real-life situations, when you make a mistake in the language you are learning, context provides ample information as to what the intended message is. In fact, most of the time, impeccable accuracy is not needed at all! “Don’t worry about making mistakes,” I used to tell my English language students. “Communicating is the most important thing!”

    While making mistakes when trying to master a language might seem counter-intuitive, letting learners freely communicate and negotiate meaning is key to success. A learner who communicates a lot while making a few mistakes is much more likely to develop confidence for dealing with real-life situations than a learner who communicates very little because they’re afraid of making any. In communicative language teaching, for example, the teacher is tasked with both encouraging the learner to express themselves and with providing corrective feedback in a way that is not obstructive to communication.

    This means that if a learner says, “I go swimming last night,” it is much more effective to respond with, “Oh, that’s nice, you went swimming. What did you do after?” rather than, “No! You went swimming! Use past simple for past events!” – the former encourages the learner to continue their narrative while the latter is much more likely to make the learner stop in their tracks, re-evaluate the context, and think twice before expressing themselves again in the future, for the fear of making a mistake again. Teachers need to be careful not to parrot back everything the students say in this manner, of course, but the technique can be an effective method of acknowledging the content of a student’s response, while also providing feedback on accuracy.

    The importance of the freedom to make mistakes in language learning is also supported by research in psychology, which suggests that learners who try a task without having mastered it completely experience improved retention of new information. A similar experiment in the context of language learning also indicates that the process of making mistakes activates a greater network of related knowledge in the brain, which leads to superior learning outcomes.

    It is believed that the key to help learners feel relaxed and ready for communicating freely in the classroom is authenticity. This means that there should be both a real communicative need for a learner to speak and the authentic reaction from those around to what the learner has said.

    Here are a few ways of how such authentic communicative interactions can be practiced in the classroom:

    • surround learners with the English language – encourage them to speak to you and each other in English;

    • don’t worry about diverging from topics that are not strictly covered in your lesson plan;

    • model communication by telling your students stories and anecdotes about your own life and encourage them to do the same;

    • let your learners have fun with English – give them colloquial expressions to try and ask them to share some expressions;

    • do not overcorrect – make a note of errors and cover it in subsequent lessons;

    • avoid the temptation to turn what was intended as speaking practice into a full-on grammar lesson.

    While easier said than done, especially when the outcome of an exam is at stake, it is worth remembering that people that our learners might come to interact with outside of the classroom are driven by the natural desire to understand the people they communicate with. This is especially powerful when practiced in the context of a classroom. They set the learners up for success in real-life communication. In other words, when communication is the goal, mistakes are secondary, and that’s real life, isn’t it?

    Japanese company allows pets into the office

    The coronavirus pandemic has changed working conditions worldwide. Millions of people have switched from working in their offices to working remotely at home. A Japanese company has initiated a novel measure to entice workers back into the office. The technology giant Fujitsu is allowing some of its workers to bring their pet dogs to work with them. Executives set up an experimental "dog office" at a building some days ago in Kawasaki, near Tokyo. Members of staff are being encouraged to return to the office by bringing their dogs to work. It is part of a trial aimed at making workers more comfortable in the workplace. More people may be willing to give up working remotely from home.

    Japan's workforce is renowned for spending long hours in the office. The pandemic greatly changed this. Many workers started working from home. They preferred this new culture of teleworking. They also decided that working remotely was better than enduring two-hour commutes from the suburbs. They got attached to the idea of spending more quality time with their pets. Fujitsu's experiment is an incentive for workers to return to the office and be with their pooches. One worker said he could "communicate with other people with the help of our dogs". Reuters says the Fujitsu "dog office" has space for up to six dogs "and features stain proof carpets and a range of pet supplies".

    Everyone loves avocados – never trust anyone who doesn’t. Though we can’t get enough of the fruit, most people are missing out on a vital part of it. Although the seeds take up a large piece of the center, they’re generally thrown away after the avocado is opened. Yes, this part of the fruit may not seem appetizing, but there are some reasons you should consider indulging it before throwing it away. Within the seed are various acids, such as palmitic acid and oleic acid. While the thought of consuming acids may seem a little dangerous, not all acids are harmful to you in the proper amounts. These acids are known as lipids, and they can help protect your cells, DNA, and proteins from damage. The avocado seed is more beneficial than the other parts of the fruit when it comes to fighting diabetes and premature aging.

    Lipids in avocado seeds are also known to help with inflammation. The more of these good acids you consume, the more your body is well adapted to fighting inflammation in the long run. This means better support against certain chronic illnesses; this will impact your quality of life significantly. Cancer is a disease that many people fear, mainly because there’s no absolute cure for it at the moment. Of course, it is impossible to make your body immune to the illness; there are ways for you to lower the risk of getting it. The lipids inside avocado seeds are allegedly able to stop cancer cells from spreading. It has a distinct impact on cancer cells in the colon and liver, although it may be effective against the disease in any part of the body. These benefits are undoubted; just make sure you find a way to eat the avocado seeds safely. And remember, they may help, but they are not a complete antidote to preventing diseases.

    The arm of Liberty

    Anonymous

    The Statue of Liberty is probably the ______ icon of the USA.

    (...) When the American Civil war ended, Édouard de Laboulaye wanted to commemorate the end of the slave trade with a gift. He and other people who opposed slavery raised money and hired a sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, to design the Statue. Bartholdi later employed the French engineer, Gustave Eiffel, to devise its structure.

    Eiffel designed the Statue to be built around a massive metal skeleton, similar to the Eiffel Tower. In 2018, a map dealer bought some historic papers at an auction in Paris, which included original plans. After special treatment, the papers clearly showed that Eiffel’s plans had been changed by Bartholdi.

    (...) We don’t know what Eiffel thought of Bartholdi’s changes. By then, Eiffel was working on other projects, and only his assistants were working with Bartholdi.

    (...) At first, visitors could climb a ladder to the torch in Liberty’s arm, but in 1916, there was an explosion on a nearby island. It damaged the Statue and made it unsafe, and the stairway to the torch has been closed ever since. During restoration work in the 1980s, engineers noticed that the structure inside Liberty’s head, shoulders, and arm were different from how they were shown on Eiffel’s plans. They thought that the builders had made mistakes, but some historians believed that Bartholdi had changed Eiffel’s design. The newly discovered papers confirm those theories.

    • model communication by telling your students stories and anecdotes about your own life and encourage them to do the same;

    • let your learners have fun with English – give them colloquial expressions to try and ask them to share some expressions;

    • do not overcorrect – make a note of errors and cover it in subsequent lessons;

    • avoid the temptation to turn what was intended as speaking practice into a full-on grammar lesson.

    While easier said than done, especially when the outcome of an exam is at stake, it is worth remembering that people that our learners might come to interact with outside of the classroom are driven by the natural desire to understand the people they communicate with. This is especially powerful when practiced in the context of a classroom. They set the learners up for success in real-life communication. In other words, when communication is the goal, mistakes are secondary, and that’s real life, isn’t it?

    Who invented the marathon? It’s not as ancient as you think

    Ask most people about the origins of the marathon—a race covering 26.2 miles of terrain—and you will likely hear about how Pheidippides, an ancient Greek courier, ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens to _____________ the Greek victory in a decisive battle over the Persians—then died on the spot. As legend would have it, the Greeks honored the herald by adding a “marathon” to the ancient Olympic Games.

    But the true history is more complex and convoluted. There was an ancient Greek named Pheidippides, and he did work as a courier during the war against the Persians in 490 B.C. According to the ancient historian Herodotus, the courier did make an epic run. But Pheidippides was not heralding victory in the Battle of Marathon—he was _____________ to round up troops to help beat back the Persians. Herodotus writes that the courier ran an incredible 153 miles back and forth between Athens and Sparta over 36 hours.

    In the 1890s, Bréal participated in the founding congress of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which proposed a series of international competitions inspired by the ancient games that would rotate among countries every four years. Greece had been hosting its own revived Olympics for years, but the IOC wanted to formalize them as a competition between nations.

    Bréal _________ that one of the events be a footrace from Marathon to Pnyx, where the ancient Athenians held their most popular assemblies—a distance of 40 kilometers, or 24.85 miles. Since then, marathons have only grown in popularity. The first U.S. marathon was held in Boston in 1897, and though it began nearly a century later, in 1970, the New York City Marathon is now the nation’s biggest.

    Legendary shoe shop to shut store for good as string of locations have already disappeared in 'end for high street'

    (1º§) The retailer, which has more than 300 stores, has confirmed it'll shut for good at High Street in Newcastle under Lyme by the end of 2023. It comes after Clarks announced that it'll pull down the shutters in High Street Inverness before the end of this month. It'll also shut in Westwood Cross Shopping Centre in Kent in mid-November.

    (2º§) Several Clarks stores closed earlier this year too, with its branch in Fareham Shopping Centre shutting on August 5 and the Dundee store closing on July 25. Before this, it closed the doors on two stores in Kent in Ashford and Gillingham at the end of 2022. Shoppers have reacted with disappointment at the Newcastle closure, with one writing on social media: "The end of the high street it's all gone now." While another added: "Another one so sad." And a third said: "I can't cope with this."

    (3º§) A Clarks spokesperson told The Sun: "We have a strong duty of care to all our employees, and we are working closely with the store team as they now go through a period of consultation. "Customers can continue to shop from our full range of products online and at our nearby Clarks stores in Leek, Crewe and Nantwich, as well as our outlet store in Talke." The popular footwear chain was founded in 1825 and operated across over 1,400 stores and franchises internationally at its peak. But as of July 2023, the brand had just 320 stores.

    Clarks brought in management consultants McKinsey & Co to help with restructuring plans after posting a £82.9million post-tax loss in 2019. It was then rescued from the brink of collapse with a £100million investment deal by private equity firm LionRock Capital.

    (5º§) A Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) was agreed which saw the Clarks family lose overall control of the company. A CVA allows firms that have run out of cash to look at ways to save the business, such as reducing rent rates with landlords. Companies often agree to a CVA to avoid insolvency, which can lead to closures or the whole business going bust.

    (6º§) More than 50 stores were set to close following this announcement in November 2020 - but dozens more have shut since then. All is not lost for shoppers though, as the retailer has also relocated and opened new shops in recent months. The brand opened a new store on East Street in Taunton in April following the closure of its original high street store.

    (7º§) Clarks also opened up a new store in Newcastle's Eldon Square shopping centre on May 14. Meanwhile, fellow footwear retailer Shoezone is pulling down the shutters on another store in its latest round of closures.

    Plus, we have the full list of 78 shops closing this week including Wetherspoons and House of Fraser. The cost of living crisis on top of a rise in online shopping has made it tougher than ever for businesses to keep physical stores open. Retailers and shoppers alike are also hit hard by stubbornly high energy costs and inflation.

    From space, astronaut sounds the alarm about climate crisis

    The Associated Press

    A French astronaut has used a video call from space to sound the alarm about worsening repercussions from climate change that he can see ______ the International Space Station.

    Entire regions of Earth in flames. Storms trailing destruction in their wake. And the haunting fragility of humanity’s only home floating like a blue — but also tarnished — pearl in the vastness of space.

    Through the portholes ______ the International Space Station, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has an arresting view of global warming’s repercussions. He used a video call from space to sound the alarm Thursday, as negotiators, government officials and activists continued meeting at a U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland. “We see the pollution of rivers, atmospheric pollution, things like that.”

    “We saw entire regions burning from the space station, ______ Canada, in California,” he said.

    “We saw all of California covered ______ a cloud of smoke and flames with the naked eye from 400 kilometers (250 miles) up.”

    11 minutes of daily exercise could have a positive impact on your health, large study shows

    By Kristen Rogers, CNN

    Updated 1145 GMT (1945 HKT) March 1, 2023

    (CNN)When you can't fit your entire workout into a busy day, do you think there's no point in doing anything at all? You should rethink that mindset. Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic activity per day could lower your risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease or premature death, a large new study has found.

    Aerobic activities include walking, dancing, running, jogging, cycling and swimming. You can gauge the intensity level of an activity by your heart rate and how hard you're breathing as you move. Generally, being able to talk but not sing during an activity would make it moderate intensity. Vigorous intensity is marked by the inability to carry on a conversation.

    Higher levels of physical activity have been associated with lower rates of premature death and chronic disease, according to past research. But how the risk levels for these outcomes are affected by the amount of exercise someone gets has been more difficult to determine. To explore this impact, scientists largely from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom looked at data from 196 studies, amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for 10 years on average. The results of this latest study were published Tuesday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

    The study mainly focused on participants who had done the minimum recommended amount of 150 minutes of exercise per week, or 22 minutes per day. Compared with inactive participants, adults who had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause, a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer.

    The same amount of exercise was linked with a 27% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and 12% lower risk when it came to cancer.

    "This is a compelling systematic review of existing research," said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, who wasn't involved in the research. "We already knew that there was a strong correlation between increased physical activity and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer and premature death. This research confirms it, and furthermore states that a smaller amount than the 150 minutes of recommended exercise a week can help."

    Even people who got just half the minimum recommended amount of physical activity benefited. Accumulating 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week - about 11 minutes of activity per day - was associated with a 23% lower risk of early death. Getting active for 75 minutes on a weekly basis was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%.

    Beyond 150 minutes per week, any additional benefits were smaller.

    "If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news," said study author Dr. Soren Brage, group leader of the Physical Activity Epidemiology group in the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, in a news release. "This is also a good starting position - if you find that 75 minutes a week is manageable, then you could try stepping it up gradually to the full recommended amount."

    The authors' findings affirm the World Health Organization's position that doing some physical activity is better than doing none, even if you don't get the recommended amounts of exercise.

    "One in 10 premature deaths could have been prevented if everyone achieved even half the recommended level of physical activity," the authors wrote in the study. Additionally, "10.9% and 5.2% of all incident cases of CVD (cardiovascular disease) and cancer would have been prevented."

    Important note: If you experience pain while exercising, stop immediately. Check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

    A little exercise every day.

    The authors didn't have details on the specific types of physical activity the participants did. But some experts do have thoughts on how physical activity could reduce risk for chronic diseases and premature death.

    "There are many potential mechanisms including the improvement and maintenance of body composition, insulin resistance and physical function because of a wide variety of favorable influences of aerobic activity," said Haruki Momma, an associate professor of medicine and science in sports and exercise at Tohoku University in Japan. Momma wasn't involved in the research

    Benefits could also include improvement to immune function, lung and heart health, inflammation levels, hypertension, cholesterol, and amount of body fat, said Eleanor Watts, a postdoctoral fellow in the division of cancer epidemiology and genetics at the National Cancer Institute. Watts wasn't involved in the research.

    "These translate into lower risk of getting chronic diseases," said Peter Katzmarzyk, associate executive director for population and public health sciences at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Katzmarzyk wasn't involved in the research.

    The fact that participants who did only half the minimum recommended amount of exercise still experienced benefits doesn't mean people shouldn't aim for more exercise, but rather that "perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good," Wen said. "Some is better than none."

    To get up to 150 minutes of physical activity per week, find activities you enjoy, Wen said. "You are far more likely to engage in something you love doing than something you have to make yourself do."

    And when it comes to how you fit in your exercise, you can think outside the box.

    "Moderate activity doesn't have to involve what we normally think of (as) exercise, such as sports or running," said study coauthor Leandro Garcia, a lecturer in the school of medicine, dentistry and biomedical sciences at Queen's University Belfast, in a news release. "Sometimes, replacing some habits is all that is needed.

    "For example, try to walk or cycle to your work or study place instead of using a car, or engage in active play with your kids or grand kids. Doing activities that you enjoy and that are easy to include in your weekly routine is an excellent way to become more active."
