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.

1 INTRODUCTION
We have been using technology so much these days in each and every
domain of our lives, be it education or the household worker.
Everyone had their own views of modernizing education and make it
technology based. The role of technology in education is vital. It can
improve teaching and learning. It improves students learning
outcomes and makes education enjoyable.
5. 5
E- Learning is an inclusive term that describes educational
technology. It includes numerous types of media that deliver text,
audio, images, animation, technology applications etc. it includes and
is broadly synonymous with multimedia learning, technology
enhanced learning and especially with mobile learning. The extent to
which e-learning assists or replaces other learning and teaching
approach is variable.

MOBILE LEARNING (M- Learning)
“You cannot teach people everything they need to know. The best you
can do is position them where they can find what they need to know when they
need to know it” – Seymour papert.
M- learning or mobile learning is defined as learning across
multiple contexts through social and contend interaction using
personal electronic devices. M- Learning technologies included
handhelp computers, notebook, mobile phones and tablets. It focuses
7. 7
on the mobility of the leaner, interacting with portable technologies.
Using mobile tools for creating learning aids and materials becomes
and important part of informal learning.
M- learning is convenient in that it is accessible form virtually
anywhere. M –learning likes other forms of e-learning is also
collaborating. Sharing is almost instant among everyone using the
same content which leads to the reception of instant feedback and
tips. M-learning also brings strong portability by replacing books and
notes with small devices, filled with tailored learning contents. In
addition, it is simple to utilize mobile learning for a more effective
and entertaining experience.

Mobile learning delivers e-learning on small form factor devices to:
Deliver education materials and promote learning
Faster communications and collaboration
Conduct assessments and evaluations
Provide access to performance support and knowledge
Capture evidence of learning activity
Today, any number of portable devices can quickly and easily
deliver and support these functions. Cell phones or smartphones,
multi-game devices, personal media players (PMPs), personal digital
assistants (PDAs), and wireless single-purpose devices can help
deliver coaching and mentoring, conduct assessments and evaluations
(e.g, equizzes; tests; surveys and polls; and certifications), provide
on-the-job support and access to information, educational references,
and deliver podcaste, update alerts, forms and checklists.
In these ways, mobile learning can enhance and support more
traditional learning modes, making it more portable and accessible.
Mobile devices can also serve as powerful date collection tools and
facilitate the capture of user created content.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Intelligence
community, and law enforcement are utilizing mobile technology are

3. APPROCHES
Classroom
Classroom applications combine the use of handheld
computers, PDAs, smartphones or handheld voting systems with
traditional resources
Class management
Mobile devices in the classroom can be used to enhance group
collaboration among students through communication applications,
interactive displays, and video features
Existing mobile technology can replace cumbersome resources
such as textbooks, visual aids, and presentation technology.
Interactive and multi-mode technology allows students to
engage and manipulate information.
10. 10
Mobile device features with WIFI capabilities allow for on-
demand access to information.
Access to classroom activities and information on mobile
deveices provides a continuum for learning inside and outside
the classroom.
In an experiment to make learning mobile through the use of
tablet computers, 32% of 8th
grade students at Stone middle school
found that they were more engaged in the classroom and had a better
understanding of course material. In a literature review conducted by
future Lab, researchers found that increased communication,
collaboration, and understanding of concepts was a result of mobile
technology applications.
Blended learning
Blended learning combines brick-and-mortar schooling with
online delivery of content and instruction. Mobile devices provide
support that enhances teaching and learning in a virtual classroom
environment.
Class management
Mobile devices are used both in the brick- and mortar setting
as well as in the online setting to enhance the education experience.
The mobile phone can be used especially for distance education
or with students whose courses require them to be highly
11. 11
mobile and in particular to communicate information regarding
availability of assignment results, venue changes and
cancellations, etc. it can also be of value to business people.
Eg. Sales representatives who do not wish to waste time away
from their busy schedules to attend formal training events.
Mobile devices facilitate online interaction between instructor
and student, and student to student.
Blended learning takes the classroom out of a traditional brick-
and-mortar setting. Students become part of virtual
communities used for collaboration. Blended learning
transition away from a traditional teaching environment to a
customized and interactive web platform for the user.
Podcasting
Podcasting consists of listening to audio recordings of lectures.
It can be used to review live lectures and to provide opportunities for
students to rehearse oral presentations. Podcasts may also provide
supplemental information to enhance traditional lectures.
Psychological research suggests that university students who
download podcast lectures achieve substantially higher exam results
than these who attend the lecture in person.
Podcasts may be delivered using syndication, although this
method of delivery is not always easily adopted.
12. 12
Outdoors
Learning in museums or galleries with handheld or wearable
technologies
Learning outdoors (e.g on field trips).
Continuous learning and portable tools for military personnel.
At work
M-learning in a workplace can be very different from a school‟s
context. Although employees do occasionally attend face to face
training events, the majority of work-based learning happens on the
job, often at the moment of need. Because of this, m-learning is being
used in a wider range of modes:
On the job training for someone who accesses training on a
mobile device.
Just in time training to solve a problem or gain an update.
Performance support. Immedicate access to tools to streamline
a work-task
Reference guides and eBooks
Checklists.
Due to the very diverse training needs across a large
organization, self-serve learning is more common than is found at the
school, or college level. Mobile is seen as an effective way to reach a
large number of employees easier and more effectively.
13. 13
Increased accessibility to training for remote work force and
sales team members
Increased learner engagement levels
Improved skill retention
Faster turnaround on training materials.
Lifelong learning and self-learning
The use if personal technology to support informal or lifelong
learning, such as using handheld dictionaries and other devices for
language learning, is an approach that is not to be overlooked.
Mobile technologies and approaches, i.e Mobile assisted
Language Learning (MALL), are also used to assist in language
learning. For instance handheld computers, cell phones and
podcasting have been used to help people acquire and develop
language skills.
Other
Improving levels of literacy, numeracy, and participation in
education amongst young adults.
Using the communication features of a mobile phone as part of
a larger learning activity, e.g: sending media or texts in to a
central portfolio, or exporting audio files from a learning
platform to your phone.
14. 14
Developing workforce skills and readiness among youth and
young adults.

6. EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATION
Tutors who have used M-learning programs and techniques
have made the following value statements in favour of M-learning.
It is important to bring new technology into the classroom.
Devices used are more lightweight than books and PCs.
Mobile learning can be used to diversify the types of learning
activities students partake in (or a blended learning approach).
18. 18
Mobile learning supports the learning process rather than being
integral to it.
Mobile learning can be a useful add-on tool for students with
special needs. However, for SMS and MMS this might be
dependent on the students‟ specific disabilities or difficulties
involved.
Mobile learning can be used as a „hook‟ to re-engage
disaffected youth.
Relavely inexpensive opportunities, as the cost of mobile
devices are significantly less than PCs and laptops
Multimedia content delivery and creation options.
Continuous and situated learning support
Decrease in training costs
Potentially a more rewarding learning experience
19. 19
7. CONCLUSION
Over the past ten years mobile learning has grown from a
minor research interest to set of significant projects in schools,
workplace, museums, cities and rural areas around the world. The
M-learning community is still fragmented, with different national
perspectives, differences between academia and industry, and
between the school, higher education and lifelong learning sectors.
Technologies currently being researched for mobile learning include
Location aware learning, anyhow mobile is the future of workplace
learning.
