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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

Erasmus Staff Mobility
This session will last about an hour. This is what we’ll cover.
My hope is that you understand the benefits of the programme and how to apply. Please ask questions as we go along.
These again are the three decentralised activities managed by the UK National agency
For Higher Education there are opportunities under Key action 1 which focuses on the mobility of staff and students.
There are also opportunities for Higher Education Institutions under key action 2 strategic partnerships
We will talk about these today.
Key Action 3 is applicable to youth projects and funding for Higher Education under Key Action 3 is not possible.
Before we look at the opportunities under Erasmus+, let’s review who can apply for funding.
It is important to remember that applications for Erasmus+ funding are organisation led. This means that Higher Education Institutions apply directly to British Council for funding and distribute grants to their participants.
In order to apply for funding as part of a partnership, Higher Education Institutions are required to hold the Erasmus Charter of Higher Education (ECHE). For consortium applications, the organisation must hold a Mobility Consortium Certificate. Both of these types of accreditation are managed centrally in Brussels so to apply, you need to apply through the European Commission.
Guidance on how to apply for an ECHE can be found here:
https://www.erasmusplus.org.uk/higher-education-funding
So moving on, this is the first opportunity we are going to look at for Higher Education Institutions- Key Action 1.
Key Action 1: Learning Mobility of Individuals is all about providing opportunities for individuals to improve their skills, enhance their employability and gain cultural awareness. There is a strong focus on increasing mobility and skills of individuals across the EU and wider Europe.
Key Action 1 forms the largest part of Eramus+ with 63% of funding allocated to the Key Action.
For Higher Education, Key Action 1 is formed of two strands – KA103, which is mobility between Programme Countries and KA107, which is mobility between Programme and Partner Countries. Key action 103 and Key Action 107 are similar in many ways
The main difference being the countries that participants can travel to as part of the mobilities. We will review the countries individuals can travel to under these types of project in just a minute
Projects durations can be selected at the time of application
and the duration can be 16/18 or 24/26 months with a start date of 1st June for both 16 and 24 month projects under Key Action 1.
Here is the deadline for 2016 HE Key Acton 1 applications – as you can see applications only open annually.
These 33 programme countries can take part in Key Action 1 and under Key Action 103, only the countries shown on this slide can be considered for mobility.
There is another category of country under Erasmus+. These are called partner countries, generally they include countries in wider Europe or European boarders. These are detailed in the programme guide.
This slide shows the mobility opportunities for students under Key Action 1.
Students can take part in study mobilities at a partner university with a minimum duration of 3 months and a maxium duration of 12 months
Traineeships are also available to students take part in a Key Action 103 mobility, which covers mobilities between Programme Countries. Traineeships are not available under Key Action 107, international credit mobility.
Please be aware that the durations shown on screen are not inclusive of travel days and reflect the time that the student should be on mobility.
This slide shows the mobility opportunities for staff under Key Action 1.
Staff can take part in teaching and training mobilities at a partner university. For mobilities to Programme Countries, the duration must be between 2 days and 2 months. For mobilities to Partner Countries, the duration must be between 5 days and 2 months. If you intend to apply for funding for staff teaching mobilities, please bear in mind that staff are required to teach a minimum of 8 hours per week at the partner university.
Please be aware that the durations shown on screen are not inclusive of travel days and reflect the time that the student should be on mobility.
Go through slide. Hand out case studies. Allow participants to read individually.
The slide on screen shows Partner Countries under Erasmus+.
These countries can be involved in a Key Action 107 International Credit Mobility project and participants can travel to and from these countries as part of their project.
Please note that, while mobilities can take place in these countries, applications can only be made by organisations from Programme Countries. It is possible to find partner organisations on our website :

Traineeships are also available to students take part in a Key Action 103 mobility, which covers mobilities between Programme Countries. Traineeships are not available under Key Action 107, international credit mobility.
Please be aware that the durations shown on screen are not inclusive of travel days and reflect the time that the student should be on mobility.
This slide shows the mobility opportunities for staff under Key Action 1.
Staff can take part in teaching and training mobilities at a partner university. For mobilities to Programme Countries, the duration must be between 2 days and 2 months. For mobilities to Partner Countries, the duration must be between 5 days and 2 months. If you intend to apply for funding for staff teaching mobilities, please bear in mind that staff are required to teach a minimum of 8 hours per week at the partner university.
Please be aware that the durations shown on screen are not inclusive of travel days and reflect the time that the student should be on mobility.
We’re going to look at a couple of case studies now. I feel this is important because it is easy to talk about facts and figures but it is very inspirational to hear about the experiences universities have running these projects.
Go through slide. Hand out case studies. Allow participants to read individually.
So moving on to the second opportunity for Higher Education institutions under Erasmus+ we have Key Action 2, strategic partnerships.
Strategic partnerships bring diverse organisations together to work transnationally to tackle a specific problem and achieve a particular aim.
Around Erasmus+, 28% of the education, training and youth budget has been allocated for Key Action 2 projects.
Organisations can either work in one field alone or can work across field so for example combining vocational education and training and higher education fields on a topic of common interest to both.
Each project sets its own aims, objectives and activities. The broad focus is around working together to exchange practices, perhaps to tackle common problems (e.g. early school leaving).
Projects can also involve the creation, testing and implementation of new resources and practices
The end aim is always to improve provision for learners either by producing specific products, changing practice within an organisation and increasing the knowledge and skills of its staff.
To be funded, Strategic Partnerships must address either:
at least one horizontal priority; or
at least one specific priority relevant to the field of education, training and youth that is mostly impacted.
Its really important that you clearly demonstrate to the assessor how your project is relevant to both your school and the priorities of the Erasmus+ programme.
Strategic partnerships need to demonstrate a strong link to European policy objectives. These objectives can be horizontal, meaning that they are broad an can apply to any sector, or sector specific, which means that it applies only to a certain sector e.g. HE. These topics and themes are detailed in the Programme Guide which is available from our website.
In the field of higher education, priority will be given to the following actions in line with the challenges identified in the public consultation on the review of the EU Modernisation Agenda for Higher Education:
So when you apply for funding you request money for specific things, and overall this constructs your overall budget.
You can be awarded money to support the following activities:
Project Management
Transnational Project Meetings
Intellectual Outputs
Multiplier Events
Learning, Teaching, Training Activities
Funds to support mobility e.g. Travel, Subsistence
Special Needs Support
Exceptional Costs
Training, teaching and learning activities for staff and Higher Education students are also possible under key action 2, as long as they help to achieve the aims of the project, and bring added value. You would however need to make it clear how any planned mobility activities contribute to the wider project outcomes.
If you are interested in a project that focuses purely on providing staff professional development experience through mobilities you should consider a Key Action 1 project instead. More information can be found on our website about this.
Under Key Action 2, it is possible to arrange transnational project meetings, which can be used to discuss ideas and outputs of the projects.
Key action 2 allows for the development of intellectual outputs and for multiplier events which are events designed to disseminate intellectual outputs. For example, an organisation creates a project handbook to outline the aims and objectives of the project. The organisation could then use funding to create a multiplier event and invite selected organisations to promote their project.
There is also the opportunity for learning teaching and training activities, which I will cover now.
Training, teaching and learning activities for staff and Higher Education pupils are possible under key action 2, as long as they help to achieve the aims of the project, and bring added value. You would however need to make it clear how any planned mobility activities contribute to the wider project outcomes.
If you are interested in a project that focuses purely on providing staff professional development experience through mobilities you should consider a Key Action 1 project instead. More information can be found on our website about this.
An Intensive Study Programme (ISP) is a short programme of study which brings together students and teaching
staff from participating higher education institutions as well as other relevant experts/specialist/professionals
Under learning / teaching / training activities section of your application, the following motilities are possible:
Blended mobility of learners combining short-term physical mobility
There is also the possibility for the Short-term exchanges of groups of pupils
Intensive study programmes are also possible
As are short-term joint staff training events
Its important to note that on the slide those durations do not include travel time, so for a short term mobility of a student there must be a minimum of five activity days with the international travel NOT taking place on any of those five days.
Here is the deadline for 2016 schools Key Acton 1 applications – as you can see applications only open annually for schools.
We will now look at a case study for a Key Action 2 project.
So I’m just going to touch upon the application process
So here is some information on Key Acton 1 applications – as you can see applications only open annually for Higher Education. The application for 2017 has not yet been published but this will be updated to our website when it has been confirmed.
Annual Calls for Proposals issued by National Agency

SECTION 4 - ECORYS
Take a closer look at these
Hello and welcome. To give you a snapshot of what’s happening over Europe, we are going to highlight some facts, figures and trends from a recent publication from the EC.
We will look primarily at figures around student and staff mobility.
Note: we only have the figures for 2013-2014.
National student population
We don’t have the graduate figures for 2013-2014
Luxembourg only has 1 University which is keen on E+
UK is bottom of pile – we’re working on it!
UK has a high proportion of students undertaking work placement
1 in 3 students do work placements compared to e.g. 1 in 6 in Germany
