Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Years ago, I taught in a private school in Kozani, Greece, using British Council materials and was offered a job with the Council for an English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) business program in Porto, Portugal. Reviewing this book brought back to me the worldwide influence and reach of the Council with its myriad English-language teaching (ELT) projects in countless countries. To those who are unfamiliar with this organization, the British Council is a registered charity that was founded in 1934. Today the Council has over 200 offices in more than 100 countries with the following philosophy: "The British council creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and builds trust between them worldwide" (book jacket).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
