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.

8. What is Integrated Application
Software?
Several programs for different applications are provided in
one ‘package’ (e.g. database, email, spreadsheet,
presentation, word processing) and they share a common
interface.
Microsoft Office and Lotus Suite are examples of integrated
software.
9. Obtaining Application Software
There are two main ways for companies/individuals
to obtain application software:
Buy it: commercial software, also known as
‘off-the-shelf’ software
Have it written/modified to exact requirements:
bespoke software, also known as custom or
tailored software
10. Commercial vs. Bespoke Application
Software
Advantages
Commercial application
software is generally
less
expensive than
bespoke
application software.
Bespoke application
software generally
matches
an organisation’s
requirements exactly.
Disadvantages
Commercial application
software does not
always
contain facilities and
functions required by
users.
It is often complex
to use.

Software Be Used?
Software written for:
Business (e.g. budgeting)
Medical applications (e.g. appointments system)
Logistics (e.g. route scheduling)
Education (e.g. learning a language)
Engineering (e.g. production planning)
13. What are Business Processes and
Functions?
The terms business process and business
function refer to various tasks, such as marketing,
sales, distribution and accounting, which are
performed regularly by a business.
In medium and large businesses, departments are

Editor's Notes
Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering analysis tasks. It includes Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD),
CAD is mainly used for detailed engineering of 3D models and/or 2D drawings of physical components
Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) covers a range of computer-based packages, which aim to provide interactive instruction usually in a specific subject area
Data Mining is an analytic process designed to explore data (usually large amounts of data - typically business or market related - also known as "big data") in search of consistent patterns and/or systematic relationships between variables, and then to validate the findings by applying the detected patterns to new subsets of data.
Simulation software (Virtual System) is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation.
