A New Buzz In Teaching And Learning: ChatGPT
[…]
We live in a world constructed by data and content. With theavailability of AI chatbots, we can generate tons of them, with just
a few taps on our keyboards. Undeniably, ChatGPT is a powerful
and versatile language model, with the potential to revolutionize
how we learn and interact with machines. As the Chinese idiom
says, "Water can carry a boat but can also overturn it." This
expression is a reminder that everything has its pros and cons, and
it's therefore important to remain aware of potential risks and take
the necessary precautions. With this in mind, it’s of the utmost
importance to use this tool in a responsible and ethical manner, to
ensure that the output aligns with the desired use cases.

What is “World Englishes?”
The term World Englishes refers to the differences in the
English language that emerge as it is used in various contexts
across the world. Scholars of World Englishes identify the varieties
of English used in different sociolinguistic contexts, analyzing their
history, background, function, and influence.
Languages develop to fulfill the needs of the societies that use
them. Because societies contain a diverse range of social needs,
and because these needs can differ across cultures and
geographies, multiple varieties of the English language exist. These
include American English, British English, Australian English,
Canadian English, Indian English, and so on.
While there is no single way for a new variety of English to
emerge, its development can generally be described as a process
of adaptation. A certain group of speakers take a familiar variety
of English and adapt the features of that variety to suit the needs
of their social context.
For example, a store selling alcoholic beverages is called a
“liquor store” in American English, whereas it is called an “offlicence” in British English. The latter term derives from British law,
which distinguishes between businesses licensed to sell alcoholic
beverages for consumption off the premises and those licensed for
consumption at the point of sale (i.e., bars and pubs).
Such variations do not occur in terms of word choice only. They
happen also in terms of spelling, pronunciation, sentence
structure, accent, and meaning. As new linguistic adaptations
accumulate over time, a distinct variety of English eventually
emerges.
World Englishes scholars use a range of different criteria to
recognize a new English variant as an established World English.
These include the sociolinguistic context of its use, its range of
functional domains, and the ease with which new speakers can
become acculturated to it, among other criteria.

What is English as a Lingua Franca?
‘English’, as a language, has for some time been seen as a
global phenomenon and, therefore, as no longer defined by fixed
territorial, cultural and social functions. At the same time, people
using English around the world have been shaping it and adapting
it to their contexts of use and have made it relevant to their
socio-cultural settings. English as a Lingua Franca, or ELF for
short, is a field of research interest that was born out of this
tension between the global and the local, and it originally began
as a ramification of the World Englishes framework in order to
address the international, or, rather, transnational perspective on
English in the world. The field of ELF very quickly took on a nature
of its own in its attempt to address the communication, attitudes,
ideologies in transnational contexts, which go beyond the
national categorisations of World Englishes (such as descriptions
of Nigerian English, Malaysian English and other national
varieties). ELF research, therefore, has built on World Englishes
research by focusing on the diversity of English, albeit from more
transnational, intercultural and multilingual perspectives.
ELF is an intercultural medium of communication used among people from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds,
and usually among people from different first languages.
Although it is possible that many people who use ELF have learnt
it formally as a foreign language, at school or in an educational
institution, the emphasis is on using rather than on learning. And
this is a fundamental difference between ELF and English as a
Foreign Language, or EFL, whereby people learn English to
assimilate to or emulate native speakers. In ELF, instead, speakers
are considered language users in their own right, and not failed
native speakers or deficient learners of English. Some examples
of typical ELF contexts may include communication among a
group of neuroscientists, from, say, Belgium, Brazil and Russia, at
an international conference on neuroscience, discussing their
work in English, or an international call concerning a business
project between Chinese and German business experts, or a
group of migrants from Syria, Ethiopia and Iraq discussing their
migration documents and requirements in English. The use of
English will of course depend on the linguistic profile of the
participants in these contexts, and they may have another
common language at their disposal (other than English), but
today ELF is the most common medium of intercultural
communication, especially in transnational contexts.
So, research in ELF pertains to roughly the same area of
research as English as a contact language and English
sociolinguistics. However, the initial impetus to conducting
research in ELF originated from a pedagogical rationale – it
seemed irrelevant and unrealistic to expect learners of English
around the world to conform to native norms, British or
American, or even to new English national varieties, which would
be only suitable to certain socio-cultural and geographical
locations. So, people from Brazil, France, Russia, Mozambique, or
others around the world, would not need to acquire the norms
originated and relevant to British or American English speakers,
but could orientate themselves towards more appropriate and
relevant ways of using English, or ELF. Researchers called for
“closing a conceptual gap” between descriptions of native English
varieties and new empirical and analytical approaches to English
in the world. With the compilation of a number of corpora, ELF
empirical research started to explore how English is developing,
emerging and changing in its international uses around the world.
Since the empirical corpus work started, research has expanded
beyond the pedagogical aim, to include explorations of
communication in different domains of expertise (professional,
academic, etc.) and in relation to other concepts and research,
such as culture, ideology and identity.

FDA clears first diagnostic radiology app, Mobile MIM
By Brian Dolan
February 04, 2011
Mobile MIM was one of the very first medical applications to debut in Apple's AppStore when it first launched in 2008, but the
application also has the distinction of being the first medical application pulled from the store because of regulatory concerns. Today
those concerns are over: The US Food and Drug Administration has officially granted the mobile radiology application a 510(k)
clearance.
“The application is the first cleared by the FDA for viewing images and making medical diagnoses based on computed
tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine technology, such as positron emission tomography
(PET)," the FDA stated in a press release this morning. "It is not intended to replace full workstations and is indicated for use only when
there is no access to a workstation.”
MIM's experience is one of the few public accounts of the nuances of FDA regulation of mobile health services. The clearance
some two and a half years later of an app that originally launched with Apple's AppStore is surely a milestone for mobile health.

M .O. Obimpeh and J.A. Dankwa. Public administration – public management interface: how different is the “management” from the “administration”? Internet: (adapted)
Text CB1A2-I
The quest for universal administrative standards to
promote the effective application of public laws and policies
gave birth to the field of public administration. Woodrow Wilson
argued for a distinction between politics and administration,
arguing that the former was more concerned with democracy,
justice, and equality, while the latter was more concerned with
efficiency, as he postulated that “administration lies beyond the
proper domain of politics; administrative questions are not
political questions” (Wilson, 1887).
According to Waldo (1948), the means and measurements
of efficiency were the same for all administrations: democracy, if
it were to survive, could not afford to ignore the lessons of
centralization, hierarchy and discipline. Bureaucracy as an
organisational type has seen its heyday in the field of public
administration, owing to Woodrow Wilson’s Transfer of
Administrative Principles.
That notwithstanding, the field has gone through
paradigmatic evolution over time by a quest for management
paradigm derived from the discipline of business administration.
The management approach is said to hold the promise of future
public sector reform, replacing the administrative approach
traditionally provided by public administration. A new concept
arises when the management perspective is combined with an
emphasis on the public sector: public management.
Courses and programmes, as well as whole academic
institutions and colleges, are adapting by switching from the term
“public administration” to “public management”. Considering
the growing demands for efficiency in the public sector, the
transition from a public administration to a public management
framework seems to be the right step.

Polar bears and climate changing
When we think about global warming and climate
change, we usually think ________________how it is going
to affect humans. However, we need to think about
animals, too. Many species will be threatened
______________________ extinction by the end of this century
if climate change is not halted. One of these is the
world’s largest land predator, the polar bear. This magnificent native ___________________ the Arctic previously had
no natural enemy apart _______________________man, but is now
under threat from nature itself. Because of melting sea
ice, it is likely that more polar bears will soon starve,
warns a new study that discovered the large carnivores
need to eat 60 percent more than anyone had realized.
Polar bears use floating ice as a platform to hunt
seals from. They eat a large volume of food during
the winter, storing enough fat under their skin to last
them through the summer months. When the ice
melts in the spring, many travel south to places such
as Churchill, Canada, returning north when the seas
freeze again, usually around October. Now, however,
the winter ice is melting earlier and forming later. The
bears’ store of fat runs out, and some starve to death.
Other bears are drowning, because many of the ice
platforms have melted, and some bears have to swim
over a hundred kilometres from one ice platform to
another. Due to exhaustion or stormy weather, some
never make it to their destinations.
The pronoun “they” in “They eat a large volume of
food during the winter“ refers to:
