Children are not being taught enough about plants at a
time when they could be the answer to global warming, scientists
have warned. This has led to people becoming “disconnected
from the botanical world” of plants when understanding flora has
become crucial to ecology. Even students starting masters’
degrees in biology lack a “basic” ability to identify plants, the
new study claims.
Data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency of the
United Kingdom reveals just one student graduated in plant
science for every 185 who graduated in other life sciences
between 2007 and 2019. The lack of botanical knowledge means
people can’t identify invasive species and that ecological damage
is being done as trees are planted in the wrong places and
wildflower meadows are damaged.
Researchers argue “nature literacy” must become a core
skill for professionals from planners, engineers, architects, and
educators as much as it does to farmers, foresters, and fishermen.
Researchers at the University of Leeds, in England, say plant
ecology — which studies the distribution and abundance of
plants, the effect of the environment on them and how they
interact with the environment — is also not taught well enough.
“We ignore the opportunities presented to us by the botanical
world at our own peril,” said lead study author and doctoral
student Seb Stroud.
This data is also corroborated by the Scottish government,
which said there are not enough skilled people to implement
“nature-based solutions” to rising temperatures. The University
of Leeds team also argued that people’s inability to identify
plants could make the spread of invasive plants worse. The
researchers conclude: “The extinction of botanical education will
only continue to worsen unless we break the cycle of
disconnection from the botanical world.”

Subordinate clauses, also known as dependent clauses,
are introduced by subordinating conjunctions such as
“although,” “because,” or “while.” These clauses provide
additional information and cannot stand alone as
complete sentences. Proficiency in using subordinate
clauses enhances sentence complexity, enabling the
conveyance of intricate relationships and details in
American English.

From interactivity to passivity
Observers have noted that the Internet is moving away from its original model of cooperative communication based on exchange, and tending towards the logic of a mass broadcasting media, resulting in a concentration of producers and the progressive disappearance of interactivity. This tendency towards passivity in the use of the new media can, we believe, be counterbalanced effectively in an approach to FLT which encourages cooperative, collaborative procedures, where teachers abandon traditional roles and act more as guides and mentors, exploring the new media themselves as learners and thus acting as role models for their learners. Case studies show that there is closer interaction between teacher and students when the new media are employed. Language learners who have experienced this kind of approach are most likely to transfer the skills acquired to their daily practice in the use of the new media in the mother tongue. And, above all, this experience should lead to the development of a “user culture”, implying appropriate behaviour, which respects other people as well as the diversity of their opinions.

As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike
qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. Apple’s
Siri digital assistant unveiled a gender-neutral option last year,
and when asked about their gender identities, the AI chatbots
ChatGPT and Google Bard each reply, “I do not have a gender.”
There have been concerns over gendering technology,
since doing so reinforces societal stereotypes. That happens
because the stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as
competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those
associated with women. That is likely true, says Ashley Martin, a
professor at Stanford University. “People are stereotyping their
gendered objects in very traditional ways,” she says.
Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a
simple way to fix this. Yet, as Martin has found in her latest
research, conducted with Malia Mason, of Columbia Universty,
gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections
with objects, particularly those designed to evoke human
characteristics.
Throughout the experiments, Martin and Mason found
that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to devices
such as digital voice assistants –– and their interest in purchasing
them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to
buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or
female voices.

Text 2:
Bad teaching habits: too much TTT
No teacher is perfect and all teachers have bad habits. Being a good teacher means reflecting (1) the following habits and trying to reduce them as much as possible.
TTT stands (2) teacher talking time. Obviously, during the course of the class, it is necessary for the teacher to explain rules, give advice and talk about instructions, among other things. However, teachers should attempt to limit the amount of time that they spend speaking to the class in order to maximize the opportunity that the students have to speak. A good rule (3) thumb is aiming for around 30% of teacher talk to 70% of student talk. This means planning out what you will say, when and how.
