Multimodality in the English language classroom:
A systematic review of literature
Literacy in the 21st century is now no longer regarded simply
as the ability to use a language competently in a mono-cultural
setting. Literacy today involves students knowing how to navigate
across an increasingly complex communication landscape and to
negotiate a range of contexts and patterns of intercultural
meanings as well as the prevalence of multimodal texts.
Contemporary communication environment is characterised
by multimodal meaning-making, that is the “multiplicities of media
and modes”, as well as “increasing local diversity and global
connectedness” (New London Group, 1996, p. 62) which
necessitates a shift in the pedagogical approaches that are
adopted by teachers. This is especially so in the digital age where
a sole focus on language in literacy is no longer sufficient for the
new workplace given that a revised sense of ‘competence’ is
required. The recognition of social diversity also demands
pedagogical approaches that engage with the transcultural and
multicultural classroom. Issues of the day such as fake news and
social justice concerns also need to be addressed in the literacy
classroom.
Multimodality focuses on understanding how semiotic
resources (visual, gestural, spatial, linguistic, and others) work and
are organised. Multimodality in education adopts an expanded
view of literacy to include the range of multimodal communicative
practices which young people are involved in today's digital age.
Multimodal pedagogies refer to the ways in which the teacher can
design learning experiences using a range of multimodal
resources. It involves teachers making design choices in the ways
in which the curriculum content is expressed, arranged, and sequenced multimodally. Multimodal pedagogies also involve
designing opportunities for students to explore and perform ideas
and identities using a range of meaning-making resources. The
teaching and learning activities often involve drawing from the
students’ funds of knowledge and their lifeworld. With multimodal
pedagogies, teachers orchestrate the learning process by weaving
together a series of knowledge representations into a cohesive
tapestry and in so doing make apt selection of meaning-making
resources to design the students’ learning experience.

Technology And Innovation:
The Gateway To Development For Guyanese?
1 We live in vulnerable energy times. The energy
crisis, climate change and energy transition are all
shaking and shaping the global future. “The energy
realities of the world remind us that oil and gas will
be here for decades to pivot a just, affordable and
secure energy transition,” as John Hess, CEO of
Hess Corporation, mentioned during the International
Energy Conference and Expo in Guyana in February
2023.
2 As someone said, vulnerability is the birthplace
of innovation and technology is the driving force
behind progressive changes. Nevertheless, how can
Guyana play a vital role in reordering energy security?
“By embedding innovation earlier in the process,
Guyana can skip several steps and avoid what most
economies went through” this idea was emphasized
several times during the same conference. “If we
integrate innovation into Guyana’s process today,
there might be some accelerated success.”
3 Guyana can play an essential role in balancing
the global energy supply and demand markets and
address the energy crisis by becoming a top crude oil
producer globally. The goal is to become competitive
in the global oil and gas market and this can be
achieved by attracting and establishing partnerships
with companies that can bring increased efficiency
and productivity to the local oil and gas operations,
from exploration and production to storage and
transportation. For Guyana, this means that
improvements in regulations, a transparent, secure
and competitive environment for foreign investment,
and incentives from the government can serve as
catalysts for technology and innovation.
4 Collaborating with universities and creating
a business innovation hub mentality for young
entrepreneurs with government support, like loan
guarantees, grants, and tax credits, will also spur the
industry.
5 Innovative technology will play a critical role in
climate change. The oil and gas sector must reduce its
emissions by at least 3.4 gigatons of CO2
equivalent a
year by 2050 – a 90 % reduction in current emissions.
Guyana today can become a world leader in setting
a benchmark around flaring and it’s possible for the
country to achieve zero-flare objective, because “from
day one the right solutions and the right technologies
were properly planned and properly positioned in
order to enable the extraction and the production
with almost zero carbon footprint”, as the Emissions
Director at Schlumberger vocalized about a year ago.
6 Innovations and technologies are key to the
energy transition, from floating wind farms to solar photovoltaic farm developments, waste-to-fuel
projects and green hydrogen, shaping Guyana’s
energy transition and future. All this requires not
only massive financial support but an innovationoriented and technology-friendly environment, with a
strong emphasis on education, training and research.
Nevertheless, the decision in Guyana on what
technologies to adopt and how much to innovate will
have a big impact on results over the long term and
the government should base it on a clear vision and
roadmap.

Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist. You may have heard of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, for which he is famous. This theory looks at how children develop intellectually throughout the course of childhood. Prior to Piaget's theory, children were often thought of simply as mini-adults. Piaget's theory had a tremendous influence on the emergence of developmental psychology as a distinctive subfield within psychology and contributed greatly to the field of education. He is also credited as a pioneer of the constructivist theory, which suggests that people actively construct their knowledge of the world based on the interaction between their ideas and experiences. In a 2002 survey of 1,725 American Psychological Society members, Piaget was named the second most influential psychologist of the 20th century.

The Internet at Risk
Some 12,000 people convened last week in Tunisia for
a United Nations conference about the Internet. Many delegates
want an end to the U.S. Commerce Department's control over
the assignment of Web site addresses (for example,
http://www.washington-%20post.com/ ) and e-mail accounts (for
example, [email protected]). The delegates' argument is that
unilateral U.S. control over these domain names reflects no
more than the historical accident of the Internet's origins. Why
should the United States continue to control the registration of
French and Chinese Internet addresses? It doesn't control the
registration of French and Chinese cars, whatever Henry Ford's
historic role in democratizing travel was.
The reformers' argument is attractive in theory and
dangerous in practice. In an ideal world, unilateralism should be
avoided. But in an imperfect world, unilateral solutions that run
efficiently can be better than multilateral ones that ....51....
The job of assigning domain names offers huge
opportunities for abuse. ....52.... controls this function can decide to
keep certain types of individuals or organizations offline
(dissidents or opposition political groups, for example). Or it can
allow them on in exchange for large fees. The striking feature of
U.S. oversight of the Internet is that such abuses have not
occurred.
It's possible that a multilateral overseer of the Internet
might be just as efficient. But the ponderous International
Telecommunication Union, the U.N. body that would be a
leading candidate to take over the domain registry, has a record
of resisting innovation - including the advent of the Internet.
Moreover, a multilateral domain-registering body would
be caught between the different visions of its members: on the
one side, autocratic regimes such as Saudi Arabia and China
that want to restrict access to the Internet; on the other side,
open societies that want low barriers to entry. These clashes of
vision would probably make multilateral regulation inefficiently
political.
You may say that this is a fair price to pay to uphold the
principle of sovereignty. If a country wants to keep certain users
from registering domain names (Nazi groups, child
pornographers, criminals), then perhaps it has a right to do so.
But the clinching argument is that countries can exercise that
sovereignty to a reasonable degree without controlling domain
names. They can order Internet users in their territory to take
offensive material down. They can order their banks or credit
card companies to refuse to process payments to unsavory Web sites based abroad. Indeed, governments' ample ability to
regulate the Internet has already been demonstrated by some of
the countries pushing for reform, such as authoritarian China.
The sovereign nations of the world have no need to wrest
control of the Internet from the United States, because they
already have it.

Why We're Obsessed With the Mind-Blowing ChatGPT AI Chatbot
Stephen Shankland
Feb. 19, 2023 5:00 a.m. PT
This artificial intelligence bot can answer questions, write essays, summarize documents and write software. But deep down, it doesn't know what's true.
Even if you aren't into artificial intelligence, it's time to pay attention to ChatGPT, because this one is a big deal.
The tool, from a power player in artificial intelligence called OpenAI, lets you type natural-language prompts. ChatGPT then offers conversational, if somewhat stilted, responses. The bot remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the internet.
ChatGPT is a big deal. The tool seems pretty knowledgeable in areas where there's good training data for it to learn from. It's not omniscient or smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than a million people were trying out ChatGPT.
But be careful, OpenAI warns. ChatGPT has all kinds of potential pitfalls, some easy to spot and some more subtle.
“It's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now,” OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman tweeted. “We have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness.” […]
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can accomplish. You can ask it countless questions and often will get an answer that's useful.
For example, you can ask it encyclopedia questions like, “Explain Newton's laws of motion.” You can tell it, "Write me a poem," and when it does, say, "Now make it more exciting." You ask it to write a computer program that'll show you all the different ways you can arrange the letters of a word.
Here's the catch: ChatGPT doesn't exactly know anything. It's an AI that's trained to recognize patterns in vast swaths of text harvested from the internet, then further trained with human assistance to deliver more useful, better dialog. The answers you get may sound plausible and even authoritative, but they might well be entirely wrong, as OpenAI warns.

READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT AND CHOOSE THE OPTION WHICH BEST
COMPLETES EACH QUESTION ACCORDING TO IT:
Saving Energy
Just a century ago, humans used very little energy because we had less of the
things that consume it. There were no computers, phones, TV, cars, lights, washing
machines and all that. After the industrial revolution, people started using a lot more
manufactured items such as electronics, automobiles, and home appliances. These
items use a lot of energy, but if we all cut its use by half, that would be huge savings,
and make a great difference.
Saving energy can be achieved in different ways: 1. Energy conservation, 2. Energy
Efficiency, and 3. Recycling. These first two are not the same, even though people
often use them to mean the same thing.
1- Energy Conservation: This is the practice that results in less energy being
used. For instance, turning the taps, computers, lights, and TV off when not in use.
It also includes running in the park or outside instead of running on the treadmill in
the gym. Energy conservation is great because we can all do this everywhere and
anytime. It is a fundamental behavior we must acquire.
2- Energy Efficiency: This is the use of manufacturing techniques and technology
_______ produce things that use less energy for the same result. For example, if a
heater is designed to warm your home with less energy than regular heaters, that
would be an energy efficient heater. If your washing machine uses less energy to
do the same job as other washers, that is an energy efficient washer. An interesting
fact is that homes built in the U.S. after 2000 are about 30% bigger, but they use
less energy than older homes.
3- Recycling: This involves the use of waste or old materials to make new ones,
like collecting all old newspapers from the town at the end of every day and turning
the papers into fresh paper for printing again. We can collect all plastic bottles and
send them to be used for new plastic bottles or used for children plastic toys. Recycling saves energy __________ less energy is used to recycle than to turn new
raw materials into new products.
This means that to save energy, we should use all these great ways. If we all try to
do this, together we can save some money and use less natural resources too.

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.
