Film sound is carefully designed and plays an important role similar to visual elements. While some sound is recorded on set, most is added during post-production mixing to emphasize important sounds and set the atmosphere. Sound can be diegetic, existing within the film's world, or non-diegetic from outside the world, like soundtracks. It can also be synchronous matching the action, asynchronous separate from visuals, or contrapuntal juxtaposed for alternative meaning. Other elements include sound bridges, effects, and music to transition or link scenes, while silence is sometimes used to provoke audiences.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Sound
Film sound is as important and as carefully controlled as the visual elements of
a text. Although sound is often recorded on set, most film sound is added in
post -product ion
Film sound will be mixed very carefully to ensure that important sounds are
emphasised and that the correct atmosphere for a sequence is maintained
Selective sound is: used to emphasise key sound elements within a sequence
Ambientsound is: used to create a particular atmosphere or a sense of place
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Sound bridges – the use of sound to help transitions between
sequences pass more fluidly
Sound effects – these are used to create a sense of realism or to create
some psychological impact of effect
Sound can be either:
Diegetic – that is, it exists within the world of the film or
Non-diegetic – that is, it emerges from outside the world of the film, e.g.
film soundtracks
Diegetic Sound Non-Diegetic Sound
Voices of characters
Sounds made by objects in the
story
Music represented as coming
from
music/instruments/speakers in
the story space
Sound that has come from
within the film world.
Can come from on screen or
off screen as long as it belongs
to the nature of the film.
Narrators commentary
Sound effects that are added
for dramatic effect.
Musical score/ soundtrack
Non-diegetic sound is
represented as coming from a
source outside the story space.
The difference between the
two depends of our
understanding of the
conventions of the film viewing
and listening
2. Film sound can be either:
Synchronous – the sound effect is matched with another technical
event of action. This reinforces the effect e.g. a punch.
Asynchronous – the sound originates from outside the diegetic reality of
the film; the musical soundtrack
Contrapuntal – noise or sound that doesn’t match the visuals; often
juxtaposed to create alternative meaning.
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Voiceovers – the voice of the character. This voice often guides or
informs the audience but can be used to push them in the wrong
directions.
Theme music – this is the music that introduces, develops throughout
the ends the film. It often indicates the ‘personality’ of the movie.
Characters can have their own theme music which may indicate their
emotional journey.
Musical Score – used to create atmosphere, to link shots
Silence – rarely used but this effect is occasionally used to provoke a
reaction from the audience.

Film sound can be either:
Synchronous – that is, caused by some event on screen, so that sound
matches the action
Asynchronous – that is, separate from the visuals, such as a voiceover or
dialogue from another scene
Contrapuntal - noise or sound effect that doesn’t match the visuals, often
juxtaposed to create alternative meaning
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Sound bridges – the use of sound to help transitions between sequences
pass more fluidly
Sound effects – these are used to create a sense of realism or to create

Music – used to create atmosphere, to link shots or sequences, to help create
the narrative or to offer information about characters. Can be diegetic or non-
diegetic
Silence – films are very rarely completely silent, but this effect is occasionally
used to provoke a reaction from the audience
