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.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
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.

2. Opening Shot
This is the first initial shot as the
title sequence begins.
This shot shows the division
between the dominant characters
in the film and the weak.
A wide shot is used to highlight
the dominant character’s car. A
low angle is used to show the car
and the man looming over the
weak.
The dominant male is wearing a
hat and his car in the background
which shows he has more wealth
and power. Hats, in the past,
suggest wealth
3. This is the second shot in the title
sequence.
The characters gesture code
suggests that they’re about to
fight.
Also it could show the division of
race/culture because they are
separated by the writing.
4. This is the next most
significant shot in the title
sequence.
It’s a close up of the woman’s
face and she is holding a gun
her gesture code shows that
she is about to shoot/already
shot someone, also the
colours are pink and purple
which fits in with her gender.
5. This is 3 different shots of this man, it
shows him normal then to when he is
laughing and smiling, because of his gun
and gesture code it suggest that he is a man
of power and high status.
The three shots could show three sides to
the film;
• When he’s laughing – a comedy side to
the film
• When he’s in pain; the sad side of the
film
• When he’s pointing the gun; the action
side of the film
6. This is a close up of a man with a
gun, the close up shows the
emotion on his face and the
colours are light and not dark
which could show his personality
of what type of character he is.
The image of the man in this
poster-like format gives away that
he may be on a ‘wanted’ sign by
the police
7. This shot showing a man with a
gun resting on his shoulder and
sunglasses on infer that he has
authority in the film. The cars in
the background represent his
property that he protects.
His gesture code infers that
8. The words in the
background of this shot,
particularly the ‘No
Fighting’, indicate that
there is quite a lot of rule
braking in this film, and
going against the law and
the norm.
9. This shot of a rubber-duck
with a cigarette in it’s mouth
suggests the film is going to be
quite dark.
Also a mysterious, confusing
side to the film because a
rubber duck and a cigarette
would not normally be seen in
the same shot. It could
suggest the film isn’t ‘normal’
or isn’t going to be a typical
thriller/action film.
10. Finally, the title sequence
comes to a close, revealing
the title of the film.
The font is very bold
suggesting that the film is
for quite a masculine
audience.
There is a gun shot mark in
the bottom left corner
which shows that the film’s
genre is thriller or action.
