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.

included in the classroom.
• AT’s also help students become more
independent and self confident in the classroom.

3. Examples of Assistive Technology
• AT devices can range from non technical to very
technical in nature. Example of nontechnical AT could
include note taking where students can simply follow
an outline provided by the teacher. A low tech AT
solution would be allowing students to use an ipad
to work on the mechanics of writing. A high tech AT
would be allowing students to participate in virtual
reality software that allows them to work on speech
and visual skills.
• (Eric Digest, 2002)
4. Assistive Technology Resources for
Special Needs Students
• There are many technical solutions and
resources for teachers to support student
achievement and success in their education.

voice recognition and voice magnification,
adjustable furniture, desks, writing tools,
adaptive keyboards and mice are just a few of
many At resources at a teacher’s disposal.

5. Helpful AT for Children with ADHD
• Teachers can incorporate behavioral strategies that can
help students with ADHD focus and succeed.

somewhere they can observe so that students can know
what to expect of them each day.

students to display appropriate behavior.

behavior like taking away certain classroom privileges for a
short period of time.
• Encourage students’ talents and praise their behavior when
it is good.

the classroom to help students with auditory disabilities.
• Make sure the distance between you and your students in minimal.
Always keep in mind the farther away you are to your students the
harder it will be for them to hear you.
• Try to avoid background noises like classroom chatter, adjacent
classroom noise, loud heating and air conditioning ventilation, and
so forth so students do not have to strain to hear you.
• Decorate your classroom with rugs, carpeting, upholstered furniture
and other items that will help absorb noise so your classroom has
good acoustics which can greatly affect how your students hear.

hearing impaired students in the classroom.
