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.
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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.
2. Emails
• “E-mail is text-based mail sent via the computer
from one person to another.”
• “E-mail is an ideal method for sending documents
already on your computer using attachments.”
•“E-mail is a way to communicate with people as
close as your office or as far away as the other side of
the world.”
3. Wiki
Ward Cunningham and co-author Bo Leuf, in their
book The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web,
described the essence of the Wiki concept as follows:
•A wiki invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages
within the wiki Web site, using only a plain-vanilla Web
browser without any extra add-ons.
•Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between
different pages by making page link creation almost intuitively
easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or
not.
•A wiki is not a carefully crafted site for casual visitors. Instead,
it seeks to involve the visitor in an ongoing process of creation
and collaboration that constantly changes the Web site
landscape.
4. Social Networking Sites

12. Blog
•
•
•
•
Blogs are found on the Internet.
The term “blog” is short for web log.
A blog is a series of entries, or posts created by someone, stored in
chronological order, are searchable, and allows readers to comment on your
content.
The first “blogger” was a man named Dave Winer and his blog Scripting
News has been in existence since 1994; you can find it at www.scripting.com.
Why Blog?
• To share information
Personal – blog as a journal
Professional – blog as a product

Journalists – blogs as news outlets
Businesses – blogs as advertising
13. URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
URL Defined
•A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a standard way developed to specify the
location of a resource available electronically.
What are URLs?
URLs make it possible to direct both people and software applications to a
variety of information, available from a number of different Internet protocols.
A URL is like your complete mailing address: it specifies all the information
necessary for someone to address an envelope to you.
In short, a URL is a very convenient and succinct way to direct people to
a file or other electronic resource. Learning how to interpret, use and construct
URLs will assist your exploration of the Internet.
14. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol)
http://<host>:<port>/<path>?<searchpart>
•the host is the Internet address of the WWW server
•the port is the port number to connect to
(generally omitted along with the colon :)
(defaults to standard "80")
•path tells the server which file you want
(if file name is omitted you want the "home page")
•the searchpart may be used to pass information to the
server (often to a CGI script)
(generally omitted, along with the question mark ?)
15. Web Feed
RSS is an acronymn for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site
Summary.
RSS (noun) - an XML format for distributing news
headlines on the Web.
What is RSS?

content.
• RSS is created using XML or eXtensible Markup Language, which
is a markup language
• Similar to HTML. All fields are defined. Tags are used to denote
the field’s classification.
• Like HTML, proper construction requires that tags are both
opened and closed.
Example: <title> Title of Item in Feed </title>
16. Online Chat
• Online chat may refer to any kind of communication over the
Internet that offers a real-time transmission of text messages
from sender to receiver. Chat messages are generally short in
order to enable other participants to respond quickly.
• Online chat may address point-to-point communications as well
as multicast communications from one sender to many
receivers and voice and video chat, or may be a feature of a web
conferencing service.
• Online chat in a less stringent definition may be primarily any
direct text-based or video-based (webcams), one-on-one chat or
one-to-many group chat (formally also known as synchronous
conferencing), using tools such as instant messengers, Internet
Relay Chat (IRC), talkers and possibly MUDs.
