2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. STEP 1
•Millie and I then started to create our production logo. We
decided we want to make our logo into a gif, where a reflection
of light shines across the cigarette packet.
•So to do this we had to fill in the selected area with different
shapes in a word document so we could then select the colour
fill to be gradient. This took a long time, we had to make sure
we has as much of the area covered as possible.
3. STEP 2
•Millie and I then decided on a colour for our cigarette packet once we
had filled the section. We choose our gradient colour to be a bright
turquoise, in order to grab the audiences attention but still be a
colour that is pleasing to the eye. We also thought that the turquoise
colour had connotations of mint, which may cause people to see the
logo and think of menthol cigarettes.
4. STEP 3
• Millie and I then edited the gradient on the original image seven
times so we would have seven separate images with the position of
the white (light) being slightly further to the right on each image.
•This was so that when we placed the images into a gif maker it would
quickly play all images one after another and look as though the light
was moving across the packet.
5. STEP 4
•We then went online and found a website to create the gif. We
uploaded all seven images and choose the speed we wanted but soon
came to realise that we could only download the gif with a watermark
from the website on it (red selected area). We didn’t want this to
appear on our logo as it seemed unprofessional.
6. STEP 5
•Millie and I then realised we needed to add the production name to
the image. We had originally thought to add the name to
the top of the cigarette packet (red outlined area)
but soon came to realise that the space was too
small to fit the name and it still be big enough to read.
•So we rethought this and decided the put it diagonally above the
gradient section (yellow outlined area). As this space would be big
enough for the production name to be read.
7. STEP 6
•Our title font was screen grabbed from the website DaFont. Millie and
I decided we wanted a simple font in order to not draw attention away
from the animation, so once we had three fonts we liked, we decided
we liked font 2 the best and then placed it on our
logo.
•We soon realised that as we had screen grabbed the font from the
website, the image consisted of a black font on a
white background and once placed into the
correct space on our logo, it looked very unprofessional so we began
to think of ways we could change this.

8. STEP 7
•Millie and I firstly came up with the idea of using Photoshop to infill
the white font with black paint and then to do the same but with
white to the background. However, this idea didn’t work. It looked
very messy and didn’t portray the image we wanted with our logo.
•So we had a re-think and decided to try and invert the colours using
Fireworks. We googled how to best do this and then tried it out and
the result was much better and produced a great image.
1. 2.
9. STEP 8
•After managing to invert the colour of the screen grab, we then
realised that the background on our cigarette packet wasn't exactly
black. So we then had to match the background colour of the screen
grab to the colour of the packet. We did this by using the colour
match tool on Fireworks and selecting the colour of the packet and
dropping it onto the background of the production name image.
•Millie and I then added the production name to all seven images and
made sure they were all in the same place, so when the gif played it
didn’t jump around too much.
•Once the production name was added to every image we then saved
them individually so we could upload them the new gif website.
10. STEP 9
•We then decided to deal with the issue of the watermark on the
original gif. To do this we decided to search on google for a
different websites that allowed you to download the final gif
without any watermark.
•The reason we took time to find another website was because
were on a very low/minimal budget and couldn’t afford to be
spending money on removing watermarks, so we luckily
managed to find a way around this and download the gif
without any watermark.
11. STEP 10
•After importing the seven new images, with the production name on,
into the new gif website we then had to decide on the speed we
wanted the pictures to change at and the speed at which the white
(light) would move at.
•We choose each image to be played 155 milliseconds apart from each
other, in order to make the light appear as though a light was
flashing past, but not too fast that it wasn’t noticeable or too slow
that it looked fake.
