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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

17. Basic Product: Basic product is the vital features of that product. Basic product for mountain dew is carbonated water with some added flavours.
18. Expected Product: Expected product for mountain dew is a soft drink which gives more energy and taste to consumer.
19. Augmented Product: It is the extra features provided by company to their customer. It is giving more energy and taste to their customer by providing them more caffeine in their offering.
20.
21.
22. Product Line Analysis: In product line analysis we can classify mountain dew in ‘specialties’ because lower sales with higher promotion.
23.
24. Determining the Demand: The customer which mountain dew are targeting are less price sensitive and also it is a low price product so price do not effect so much to demand. It is in a segment where price is inelastic and change in price doesn’t lead to a big change in demand CITATION Fiz08 1033 (Fizz goes flat: Non-colas have slipped, 2008).
25. Estimating Costs: Before establishing the cost companies have to count its own expenses. Mountain dew has several costs in his production and distribution process like intergradient, bottle, packaging, promotion and advertising, carriage etc.
26. Analysis of competitor’s price: A company should also take a look over its competitor’s price because it also helps to determine price. Mountain dew has the same price as its rivals.
27. Selecting the pricing methods: PepsiCo has selected value pricing method for its cola products because it wants customer loyalty with low price and high quality CITATION Pep09 1033 (PepsiCo India).
28.
29. We will launch more variant of mountain dew like caffeine free mountain dew for the consumers who are more health conscious, flavoured mountain dew which can be lemon, orange etc. We will also like to launch an energy drink variant of Dew which made of coconut water.
30. Mountain dew’s differentiation strategy is good at the time and it has made an image in customer’s mind. We will also like to differentiate it on the basis of social awareness issues like pollution, poverty, population, corruption etc. with this strategy we segment market on the basis of psychographic. Price:<br />Mountain dew is available at different price range in India. All prices at which it is available are reasonable and less marginable because of intense competition in market. All the soft drinks in Indian market are available at same price range so it can’t hike its price also it can’t cut down prices because already there are less margins. But there are very less discount offer are provided by mountain dew so it can give some discounts on a bundle purchasing like 5rs. Off on the purchase of two 2liter Bottles.<br />Promotion<br /> There is no brand ambassador for it so we will like to select a brand ambassador to endorse and promote mountain dew. We will like to select Narayanan Karthikeyan as the brand ambassador for it because he is from F1 racing and suitable for the brand image of mountain dew.<br />We will to promote it mostly near colleges and BPO centres because most of the people there are young. In beverage industry personal selling is not applicable. Instead of this we like to sponsor more adventurer program and associate with them. We can also advertise on the social and public issues like pollution and corruption because today’s youth is so sensitive about these issues and he will associate themselves very soon with these advertisements. <br />Place<br />Indian soft drink industry is estimated to grow at 8% per year so it is important to secure good supply throughout country. For this we will apply Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) in India because it has successfully managed PepsiCo’s distribution in USA. Also we will make some strategic partnership as already with pizza hut. India has a lowest per capita consumption of cola so there are a lot of possibilities to do in rural area. <br />Strategy on the basis of competitor -<br />Coca cola’s market share is greater than PEPSICO. As we can see that the market share of mountain dew is 6.8% is less than his main competitor sprite 15.6% and ThumsUp is 16.4(AC Nielson). In terms of taste and same kind of product sprite is main competitor of mountain dew, but sprites main target is collegians as it is indicated by Sprite ad “Seedhi Baat” USP by coming out with the Ghumo Ghumao Sprite Express TV ads”. ThumsUp is also eating the market share of Mountain Dew as its ad is also targeting the adventures and young promoted by Akshay Kumar. So seeing the both competitor we will spend more money on advertisement to make it more attract and adventures.<br />For designing a communication strategy we will use creative strategy. In which we will use transformational appeals as a communication. To defeat both competitors we would like to organize some adventures events and road show.<br />Conclusion<br />After analyzing and describing the whole marketing strategy of mountain dew we can conclude that mountain dew is doing well in market. We want to conclude that practices makes improved but not ideal so we hope that this report will help PepsiCo to improve results. With the best marketing plan a product can’t be successful because outside forces will affect it but with the marketing plan process you can achieve success because then you are also adopting conditions. <br />References<br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY 1033 Analytics, B.
