As soon as learners step outside the classroom, they act as
users of English who communicate with other speakers of
English from a wide variety of linguacultural backgrounds. Given
the global spread of English and the fact that the majority of
users do not speak English as their mother tongue, learners are
likely to be involved in interactions with other non-native
speakers. These situations then bear the hallmarks of English as a
lingua franca (ELF), which is “any use of English among
speakers of different first languages for whom English is the
communicative medium of choice, and often the only option”,
according to Seidlhofer.
Since ELF speakers represent various cultures and
languages, ELF contexts of use are characterized by diversity and
the subsequent unpredictability and variability of communication.
Therefore, interactions where English functions as a lingua franca
require active engagement in the meaning-making process by the
participants.

In “learners are likely to be involved in interactions with other

In Tanzania, the national government assigns teachers to
schools, which means that they are often sent to teach in faraway
regions and then frequently request transfers, trying to get
assignments closer to their hometowns. Ms. Njau is lucky to have
been assigned to a school in the community where she grew up,
and she has taught there since the start of her career.
At the end of her four years of secondary school, she
scored too low on the national exams in mathematics and
bookkeeping, which meant she could not study business, as she
had intended. However, her results on the English test were
better. A teacher encouraged her to follow her strengths and “take
the subject that seems simple so you can go far,” advice that Ms.
Njau now passes on to her own students. She continued her
studies as an English major and passed the difficult national
examinations before studying for her teaching diploma.

National Sports Day 2021: The many benefits of
playing sports
(1º§) For more than five decades, the scientific
community has been working towards evidence on
the positive effects of sports and physical activity as
part of a healthy lifestyle.
(2º§) Regular physical activity can help children and
adolescents improve cardiorespiratory fitness, build
strong bones and muscles, control weight, reduce
symptoms of anxiety, depression, and reduce the
risk of developing health conditions.
(3º§) The World Health Organisation (WHO) stated
that one in four patients visiting a health centre has
at least one mental, neurological or behavioural
disorder, but most are neither diagnosed nor
treated.
(4º§) Several studies have shown that exercise may
play a therapeutic role in addressing these disorders
and positively influences depression.
(5º§) Physical self-worth and self-perception,
including body image, have been linked to improved
self-esteem. This is also relevant for children.
(6º§) Children who play sports have lower body fat,
stronger muscles and bones, and increased
cardiovascular fitness.
(7º§) They have a much lower risk of becoming
overweight or obese and can create a foundation for
a healthy lifestyle.
(8º§) Positive health outcomes are one of the
significant benefits of youth sports participation.
(9º§) The pros of exercising:
(10º§) Many athletes do better academically:
Playing a sport requires a lot of time and energy.
(11º§) Some people may think this would distract
student-athletes from schoolwork.
(12º§) Sports require memorisation, repetition and
learning - skill-sets that are directly relevant to
classwork.
(13º§) Sport teaches teamwork and problem-solving
skills: Fighting for a common goal with a group of
players and coaches teaches you how to build
teamwork and effectively communicate to solve
problems.
(14º§) Physical health benefits of sports: Clearly,
sports can help you reach your fitness goals and maintain a healthy weight.
(15º§) However, they also encourage healthy
decision-making, such as not smoking and drinking. (16º§) Sports boost self-esteem: Watching your
hard work pay off and achieving your goals
develops self-confidence.
(17º§) Reduce pressure and stress with sports:
Exercising is a natural way to loosen up and let go
of stress.

How Africa will be affected by climate change
The African continent will be hardest hit by climate
change. There are four key reasons for this. First, African society
is very closely coupled with the climate system; hundreds of
millions of people depend on rainfall to grow their food.
Second, the African climate system is controlled by an
extremely complex mix of large-scale weather systems, many
from distant parts of the planet and, in comparison with almost
all other inhabited regions, is vastly understudied. It is therefore
capable of all sorts of surprises. Third, the degree of expected
climate change is large. The two most extensive land-based
end-of-century projected decreases in rainfall anywhere on the
planet occur over Africa; one over North Africa and the other
over southern Africa. Finally, the capacity for adaptation to
climate change is low; poverty equates to reduced choice at the
individual level while governance generally fails to prioritise and
act on climate change.

Teaching multicultural classes
Long hailed as a melting pot of cultures, America is home
to millions of immigrants – whether their ancestors sailed
across on the Mayflower or they moved to the country last
week. Research by the National Center for Educational
Statisticsfound that one-third of U.S. students are considered
racial or ethnic minorities, a number that is set to increase to
more than half by 2050. In this changing educational
landscape, teachers are challenged with creating inclusive
classrooms where students of all backgrounds feel
represented and welcomed. For teachers with a classroom full
of students of different backgrounds, the responsibility to
connect with them goes beyond simply knowing where they’re
from, or what their favorite subjects are. These teachers must
strive to understand their students in a more holistic way,
incorporating their cultural traditions into lessons and
activities, so students feel understood, comfortable, and
focused on learning. Culture is a broad term, and one that is
not easily summed up. In her book Culture Learning: The Fifth
Dimension on the Language Classroom, author Louise Damen
defined culture as the “learned and shared human patterns or
models for living; day-to-day living patterns that pervade all
aspects of human social interaction. Culture is mankind’s
primary adaptive mechanism”. Individuals from varied
nationalities, ethnicities, and races all bring cultural traditions
to their interactions, and it’s up to teachers to recognize,
celebrate and share these different perspectives. Using
different activities and games in multicultural classrooms is an
excellent way to foster inclusivity and encourage students to
share their heritage. It’s also a beneficial way for teachers to
involve students in different styles of study to immerse them
in their learning. Sharing about oneself within the confines of
an activity is often much easier than being asked open-ended
questions and put “on the spot”. These activities can then
provide a safe space for dialogue and serve as an entryway into
more in-depth interactions.

English Language teaching as a social interprise
In Communicative ELT (English Language Teaching),
text genre analysis is essential to uncover the social and the
cultural basis of language. The notion of genre has largely
drawn the attention of many scholars. It is incontestable
that a genre-based approach to teaching greatly improves
learners’ skills, not only in academic settings, but also in
professional scenarios. A genre--oriented approach to
language teaching incorporates an understanding that
language is purposeful and that structures emerge from use.
Additionally, there is an increasing recognition of the
relevance of taking into consideration language varieties, text--types, and text genres while designing reading and
writing language programs. As Martin (2002) points out,
genres have been defined as staged, goal-oriented social
processes. In these terms, as a level of context, genres
represent “the system of staged goal-oriented social
processes through which social subjects in a given culture
live their lives”. In ELT, the concept of text genre sheds light
on the influence of the context of culture on language. From
that viewpoint, every culture structures particular ways of
achieving communication goals in a given context through the
production of written and oral texts. The fact that English is
considered the predominant language for communicating
research findings makes it paramount that users of English as a
Foreign Language (EFL) develop proficiency in research English
across the skills of reading and writing. In order to be part of the
scientific community, EFL researchers need to understand “the
social processes by which knowledge about reality and the
world are made”, that is, they need to be able to understand
several genres that are part of academic social practice. Failure
to understand written genres as social action may result in
instruction that encourages the creation of texts to fit formal
requirements, as opposed to the practice of achieving social
goals. Technology also plays a role in assisting second/foreign
language (L2) writing instruction. The Internet, social networks
and digital media may provide EFL learners with greater
opportunities for meaningful and authentic language use,
which are usually interactive, social and multimodal. Learners
can interact with other speakers of the language from different
parts of the world, write blogs or create webpages and profiles
in social networks and produce both written and oral language
with a targeted community of speakers in mind.

Pensioners face £1,000 fine if they don't get TV licence this week
1º§ The BBC confirmed it will start to charge everyone for the licence from August 1, so you only have until Saturday before the change comes in. Anybody who watches live telly has to pay for a licence. Brits over the age of 75 used to get free TV licences, but the benefit was axed last year - unless you claim pension credit.
2º§ The government stopped funding the free licences for over-75s in 2015, handing the responsibility over to the BBC. But the BBC last year announced it would also pull the plug on the initiative to save cash.
3º§ There was a transition period set up because of the coronavirus crisis, which meant anyone who couldn't afford a TV licence wouldn't be fined. But that all comes to an end this weekend, and anyone without a licence that needs one after the end date of July 31 will face the fine.
4º§ The BBC has said that more than nine in 10 over-75s households have already made arrangements for a paid licence, or updated changes in their circumstances to entitle them to a free one. In its latest update on the changes, the broadcasting house said it would otherwise write to the remaining 260,000 customers who hadn't yet made arrangements. Over 2,838,000 people now have a paid-for licence.
5º§ Since the over-75s have been forced to pay the annual fee, the BBC has reportedly raked in an extra £250million in licence fees, and this will only go up with the end of the grace period looming. You'll want to make sure to get a licence before the deadline or risk paying the hefty fine. 6º§ You need a TV licence to watch or record live programmes on any channel in the UK, or if you're watching something live on a streaming service too.
7º§ If you're using those services but you don't pay the fee then you could face prosecution plus a fine of up to £1,000. To get one, it's going to cost you £159 for a standard colour TV licence, otherwise it's £53.50 for a black and white one.
8º§ You don't have to pay for the licence if you're over 75 and on Pension Credit though, but you'll need to apply for a free licence on the TV licensing website or call 0300 790 6117.
9º§ You can apply for a TV licence online or by calling 0300 790 6165. The fee you pay will last you a whole year and starts from the day that you buy it.
10º§ You'll want to make a note of when this is so you know when to renew it next year too - after 12 months you'll have to pay the £159 (or £53.50) all over again.
11º§ You'll only need one per household and it doesn't matter how many people live with you. But if you or someone you live with is blind or severely sight-impaired, you can get 50% off the fee.
12º§ If you live in a residential care home or sheltered accommodation, you may be able to apply for a reduced licence which will normally cost you £7.50 instead. Plus if you're a student you don't have to pay yourself as you can be covered by your parents licence despite living away from home, but you can't watch something plugged into the mains in this case.
