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.
2. Orwell's Rules (Some of them) Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. Never use the passive where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
3. 1) Never use a long word where a short one will do. Instead of: I am pleased to make your acquaintance. Write: I’m pleased to meet you.
4. 2) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. Instead of: What I want to say to you is that you are fat. Write: You are fat.
5. 2) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. Instead of: The thing is that we really don’t have enough money. Write: We don’t have enough money.
6. 3) Never use the passive where you can use the active* Instead of: These slides were prepared by me. Write: I made these slides. *See English Language 09 for more information about passive and active voice.
