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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

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.
2. Welcome to A LEVEL ART, this is the beginning of a hard, but
enjoyable two years. Art is not easy; it’s about hard work,
creativity and the will to do well. If you listen to the help, advice
and guidance that we will give you and give 100% in every
piece of work, and try your best, you will succeed.
You’re A level is very important and to get the maximum from
your coursework you must complete all set assignments and
make sure you live, breathe and eat art.
You have chosen this option, so we expect nothing but your
best.
Welcome ...
3. We currently run the EDEXCEL UNENDORSED ART,
CRAFT AND DESIGN course. This allows you the
freedom to explore different areas of art, such as
painting, printmaking, textiles, photography,
graphical communication, sculpture and contextual
studies. The course encourages you to create a
personal and imaginative approach.
The course consists of four units over 2 years:
YEAR 12:
UNIT 1-COURSEWORK 60%
UNIT 2-EXTERNALLY SET ASSIGNMENT 40%
YEAR 13:
UNIT 3-COURSEWORK (DEVELOPED FROM
PERSONAL STARTING POINT) 60%
UNIT 4-EXTERNALLY SET ASSIGNMENT 40%
The Course ...
4. Throughout year 12 you will be introduced to
the different art disciplines through a series of
workshops. You will be set assignment tasks
based on these workshops, all based around
one theme.
For each art discipline you will be expected to
use your own initiative, research artists, primary
images, take good quality photographs and
annotate and review your work.
We are here to guide you, and you are
privileged to have 2 teachers that specialise in
different art disciplines, but we will not do the
work for you.
What to Expect… ...
5. As a artist you must be punctual, have
good attendance and be well equipped. To
not turn up to lessons, be late and have
poor attendance will ultimately have a
major effect on your overall grade.
If you fall into this pattern your work will
suffer, you will be playing catch-up and
your work will be weak resulting either in
being asked to leave the course or a poor
grade.
You must have your sketchbook with you
and be fully equipped for every lesson.
What to Expect…
6. Getting a good grade is only possible by covering all of the marking
criteria. You can be the most talented artist there is but if you do not
have the sketchbook and work to back up your final pieces you will
get very little marks.
You must cover all of the assessment criteria above to get the marks and
achieve a good grade.
Marking…
7. Look at equipment list and try to start collecting
this through to September. This is an essential
equipment list which you must have.
You should be trying to introduce
independence into your work to get the highest
possible grade and this can be done easily by
collecting newspaper and magazine
articles/internet information or gallery visits of
artists you like. You do not need to buy the
magazines or books but be aware of what is
going on around you now in the art world.
Equipment…

-A range of pencils

around your home. Think carefully about your subject matter, colour and
composition.
