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

BEHIND THE SCENE VFX USED IN THE MOVIE FAN
1. BEHIND THE SCENE VFX USED IN THE
MOVIE FAN
Hi guys!! In today’s blog we are going to discuss about the movie FAN. Although the movie
was not a blockbuster hit like expected but the techniques employed in this movie was
amazing and was accompanied with a lot of surprising VFX.
The movie FAN was directed by the renowned director cum producer MANEESH SHARMA
and produced by ADITYA CHOPRA under YASH RAJ FILMS production house.
To begin with let us first know the jist of the movie.
The story revolves around the main protagonist slash antagonist Gaurav Chandana (played
by Shah Rukh Khan) a die-hard and obsessive fan of Bollywood superstar Aryan Khanna
(also played by Shah Rukh Khan) and how he (Gaurav) unexpectedly tries to seek revenge
against Aryan for turning his fan away.
For all we know the rest of the story is quite known and well-discussed in media already.
The main question that arises in this occasion is that how is the movie unique?
The answer to such a mind boggling question is the use VFX or VISUAL EFFECTS in the
movie.
2. The effects used in this movie were so hardy and difficult to achieve that despite the
prolonged attempts great film makers of Hollywood couldn’t accomplish it.
The VFX used in the movie was handled and monitored by SRK’s company Redchillies.
VFX along with the aid of a renowned VFX artist Harry Hingorani as its supervisor.
The Redchillies VFX used a one of its kind life sized 3D printed model (of SRK himself) to
create a younger paradigm, SRK.
Apart from making SRK look younger and smaller accompanied with certain changes
associated with the facial feature, VFX was also used in few chase and action sequences in
the film.
Prior to the profuse application of VFX the main challenge for the cast and crew was to
make SRK look younger for his role as Gaurav.
Maneesh stated that even the greatest VFX artist across the globe thought that it was not
possible as Gaurav’s face should look similar to that of Aryan and yet different and younger.
But VFX producer Keitan Yadav believed that with the help of a mixed composition of
prosthetics and computer-generated effects (special effects and VFX) the desired looks
could be more plausible and achievable.
And thus Greg Cannon the make-up artist accepted one of the most challenging aspects of
the movie-making process.
3. He said that the task sounded amusing but he was shocked by the number of days it took
him to complete the task and make SRK look younger.
It took him a total of 70 days to complete the task whereas usually such tasks are attained
within 10 days.
This one particular task demanded so much of their time due to the chubby cheeks
required.
Therefore he began working with different moulds for different facial features as promised.
Yet he was not able to achieve the young look that was anticipated, as it was quite feasible
to make someone look old but in contrast it was really difficult to make someone look
young with such an enormous age gap.
He had to give Gaurav well toned and chubby cheeks. But after trying hard enough, one day
Greg was wondering, while in his office, and discovered the mould of Brad Pitt.
He saw that he had an unusual cheek and jaw structure.
Therefore he endeavored to give Gaurav, Brad’s facial built which turned out to be
successful. Therefore finally after 70 days of hard work he successfully achieved his goal.
But this was not only it. Greg and SRK along with the rest of the makeup crew had to
patiently sit for 5 to 6 hours daily just in order to apply prosthetics and silicon on SRK’s
face which would make him look younger.
4. They had to tape SRK eye lids and cheeks upside to give them shape.
They used plums to push SRK’s upper jaw up.
They used little eye brow pieces to make it look thicker. Then finally after immense hard
work the look was successfully established.
Finally, after the completion of all the shorts the VFX artists initiated their work.
Firstly they all had to make Gaurav’s nose appear smaller than that of Aryan’s.
Then, they had to fill up the parts in between prosthetics and silicon. They also had to make
the facial tone smoother and even.
Followed by this they had to enhance the gap between the nose and upper lip.
Then they had to make Gaurav’s eyes beseem bigger and move the jaw line slightly up.
5. Finally removal of the difference between prosthetics and the real skin was to take place.
Then the expressions were to be changed and the lips were to be adjusted accordingly.
After all the VFX used in face customization of his other physical features was started. For
instance they had to remove Adams apple and muscles behind neck.
Then they had to shrink Gaurav’s build by narrowing and straightening his shoulders, and
removing the muscles.
Due to the changes brought up in his body they had to perform several body scans.
To make correct and absolute measurements for Gaurav’s body scanning they were to be
done while SRK was trying Gaurav’s costumes.
VFX was also used to achieve certain emotions on Gaurav’s face as an impact of too much
makeup.
Apart from all these VFX was also used in action scenes.
The most seemingly unattainable part in the entire movie making was achieving a smaller
nose.
6. The amazing fact about this movie is also that the concept about the film was first narrated
by late Yash Chopra to SRK about 12 years ago but the filming didn’t happen then.
But finally after all the long waited ups and downs the film was completed and was finally
released on 15th April 2016.
It goes without saying, as the VFX and Animation Industry is blooming in today’s world,
and is needed in each and every place along with the unimaginable applications of VFX, it’s
highly recommended to learn about it.
