Predicting the unpredictable
Some years ago, a devastating earthquake struck the
Italian town of L’Aquila. More than 300 people lost
their lives, over 1,500 people were injured, and many
buildings were destroyed. Two years later, seven earthquake experts were involved in a court case: Did they
adequately warn the public after the initial tremors
began? At the heart of the debate is whether they
could have predicted a disaster like this.
Although a lot of scientists are working to improve
our ability to predict natural disasters, so far no
one has come up with a reliable method to forecast
earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, days or weeks
beforehand. Most of the research focuses on the areas
most likely to experience seismic activity – but even
our knowledge about where these areas are, is very
limited. One reason for this is that human beings have
only been around for a very small part of the Earth’s
history. In geological terms, we all arrived on the
scene very recently. Records from the past 2,000 years
are incomplete, and the biggest earthquakes nearly
always happen in areas where there have been no
earthquakes in recorded history.
So, is there any hope for improving our ability to
predict disasters? A solution may come from an
unexpected source. Four years ago, a team of US
physicists at Rutgers University in New Jersey were
studying why pharmaceutical powders stick together.
They observed that the powder stuck together when
placed in a spinning cylinder, but then developed
cracks and collapsed. Just before the cracks developed,
an electric signal, like a small bolt of lightning, was
created. The scientists repeated the experiment with a
wide range of different materials, and they got similar
results every time.
This phenomenon might also exist in nature. Some
scientists believe that rocks may become electrically
charged under unusual pressure, such as before an
earthquake. This electric charge then causes changes
in the surrounding air or water, which animals may be
able to sense before humans do. For example, while
biologists were studying a colony of frogs in a pond
near L’Aquila, they noticed that nearly all the animals
left the water days before the earthquake. A similar
thing happened in China, when snakes were hibernating for the winter in caves, but escaped just before a
large earthquake. The same kind of electric charge,
like the small bolt of lightning felt in the experiment at
Rutgers, may have been responsible.
At the moment, there is no reliable way ............ using such findings to predict earthquakes, and
further studies may be necessary to give us a better
understanding of the interactions involved, but one
day, the technology may be used ............ predict
future catastrophes. For example, two science institutions in Russia and Britain are already developing a
new micro-satellite, which could detect these electric
signals and help rescue people ................ natural
disasters in time. Scientists are planning to launch the
first of these satellites ............... space. Will these
satellites be the solution? Only time will tell. For the
time being, the best defense is to be prepared.

Global issues, global education, and transcultural learning
all take two conditions of a globalizing world as their point of
departure: (1) all social, cultural, economic, and ecological issues
are increasingly interconnected and there is no such thing as an
isolated, merely local issue; (2) globalization and hybridization
affect all cultures and cultural phenomena. There are no pure,
homogeneous, unchanging elements of culture, and this affects
the life of all individuals and social groups. Global learning takes
on a transcultural perspective and aims to enable learners to
effectively acquire a foreign or second language while
empowering them with the knowledge, skills and commitment
required by world citizens to solve global problems. Here, local
problems, challenges, and solutions are always seen as
inextricably intertwined with global issues.

Classes which are arranged in a circle make quite a strong statement about what the teacher and the students believe in. With all the people in the room sitting in a circle, there is a far greater feeling of equality than when the teacher stays out at the front. This may not be quite so true of the horseshoe shape, where the teacher is often located in a commanding position, but, even here, the rigidity that comes with orderly rows, for example, is lessened.
With the horseshoe and circle seating, the classroom is a more intimate place and the potential for students to share feelings and information through talking, eye contact or expressive body movements (eyebrow-raising, shouldershrugging, etc.) is far greater than when they are sitting in rows.

What's new in English language teaching?
This is an article about new trends in English language teaching (ELT) resources, but none of the trends that follow are, strictly speaking, new.
Take, for example, the idea of spaced repetition, which is a buzzword at the moment. Back in 1885 (I told you it wasn’t a new idea), Hermann Ebbinghaus carried out an experiment designed to measure how quickly we forget. He discovered that, unless new information is reinforced, we quickly forget what we have learned. In the 1930s, other researchers followed this up by looking at how often we need to reinforce new information, and found that spacing out repetition – revising the information every two days, then every four, then every eight, and so on – was most effective.
[…]
Another way in which digitalisation is affecting ELT resources is in the way it's connecting learners with the outside world. Students nowadays have access to an incredible amount of English-language material online. But while this is clearly beneficial, it can also be a bit overwhelming. Students don’t always know where to go for the most appropriate material. For teachers, the amount of time needed to find, select and prepare materials can be off-putting.
