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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

• CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.3.1: Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly
to the text as the basis for the answers.

3. What Is “Drawing Conclusions?”
A reader’s conclusions make up an
overall sense of what a reading selection
means. After making some inferences,
readers look for connections among their
inferences and observations. The
connections lead to conclusions. It’s like
seeing the big picture after putting the puzzle
pieces together!
4. Let’s Practice Drawing Conclusions!
What might you conclude if you read a report:
Bald eagle is listed as an endangered animal in 43 states?
Conclusions might include
1) The bald eagle is considered worth protecting
2) The bald eagle is in danger of dying out.

34. Maria opened her eyes and ran to the window. No, she thought, she hadn't
been dreaming. Everything in front of her eyes looked unfamiliar. Instead of
the bright warm sun, there were gray, cold-looking skies. There was harsh,
loud noise everywhere. And she could see no warm, blue-green sea off in
the distance. She thought to herself, "What is this strange new world I have
come to?
Suddenly, Maria heard her aunt's voice calling her. She rushed quickly to
the other room. She hoped that seeing her aunt would make her feel more
at home here in the United States.
"Well, Maria," her aunt asked, "how did you sleep your first night here?" She
spoke a little slowly so that Maria wouldn't have trouble understanding her.
Maria waited a moment to answer. She wanted to say everything correctly.
Soon she would be in school, where she could work on her English--she
wanted to be the best in her class, just as she had been back home! "Very
well," she said, smiling in surprise at how clear her words sounded.
35. 1.Where do you think Maria is?

40. Self-questioning helps
readers construct meaning,
and draw conclusions
Questioning and inferring
work in tandem to enhance
the understanding of text.
-Harvey and Goudvis
Strategies That Work
41. Sample Question Stems:
What conclusions can be drawn about…?
Support your answer with information
and details from the passage.
What conclusions can be drawn from the
fact that…?
What examples can you find to support the
conclusion that…?
What facts would you select to show
that…?
What facts justify the conclusion that…?
Finish the sentence stems with statements that you could use with
topics or content that your students read in your subject.
42. Learn to Think…Think to Learn
Effective questioning
helps students…
1. make predictions,
2. give reasons,
3. distinguish fact from
opinion,
4. determine bias, &
5. check the validity of
evidence
Students remember
when asked to…
brainstorm new
ideas,
think up solutions to
problems,
weigh pros &cons,
make decisions, &
debate evidence.
Teaching Students To Think Analytically!
43. Synthesizing Information,
Constructing Meaning, and
Drawing Conclusions
“Proficient readers use images to
draw conclusions, to create
distinct and unique interpretations
of the text, to recall details
significant to the text, and to
recall a text after it has been
read.”
