The Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin had a rich culture with complex religious beliefs centered around Orishas, which were spirits or deities that were sometimes part human. They created sculptures and artwork to honor these Orishas using materials like wood, shells, and later bronze. Over time, their artistic styles evolved from small clay figures to more elaborate sculptures. Religion and the Orishas played a central role in Yoruba life and were depicted in their artistic traditions.

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.

4. The Orishas were basically the Yoruba
version of angels and they were the
guardians of nature and the rainforests

and Orishas?
over 1700 Orishas (Which Yoruba priests
had to memorize completely) but the
most popular were Babalu-Aye, Elegua,
Obtala, Ochosi, Ogun, Oya, Shango,
Yemaya. The Orishas were sometimes
part human. The next few slides will tell
you about the Orishas in deatail.
5. Babalu Aye looks like an injured man with crutches. He

Here are 2 recreations of the highest Orishas.
7. The Yoruba's Believed that their Gods and Goddesses were always dissatisfied with
what they had created and that’s why they always were creating things. Compared
To other Gods in other civilizations, the Yoruba belief of Gods is similar to the
Christian belief even though they had more than 1 God. Why? Because they had
‘angels’ like you’ve learned and ‘demons’ too, like you will learn at the end. The
Gods were humble and Optimistic. They rewarded and punished people as needed.
In the next few slides, you will learn about the coolest Goddesses and Gods.
8. Believe it or not, Bayanni was the Yoruba Goddess of Hats and headwear. She was extremely
important and very strongly worshipped because she lived inside the Yoruba crown.
Bayanni’s brother was an Orisha
named Shango. Bayanni was
pictured as a queen with a
golden headdress. But this
headress wasn’t the Yoruba
crown. The headress was
actually just a headress that
looked like a crown. The real
crown is a white, beaded crown.

9. Mawu
Mawu was the Yoruba Goddess of the Moon. She made the first woman that ever existed who
was called Gbadu. She protects travellers and women that are brave. She created the moon so
travellers would have a light, even at night time. Her personality is nice.

11. Olokun ruled the sea. This Yoruba God Was highly respected and even
feared. It was said that if the Yoruba empire failed to please Olokun, he
would send floods. He looked like a mermaid according to a Yoruba
description, but I couldn’t find a picture so here is a fail drawing:
12. Very briefly, this slide will tell you about the Abiku who were black wolf-
like monsters that liked to eat kids at night. They were basically the Yoruba
equivelent of a demon and their eyes were on the bottom of their feet.

my feet.

14. The Yorubas were amazing carvers and sculpturs. They sculpted for religeous purposes because they
usually sculpted Gods. After sclupting, they would decorate the God sculpture with feathers, precious
stones, or shells. Certain sculptures were so precious that lower class people would be fined or killed if
caught looking at them.
