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.

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.

5. Bite wound
If the victim was bitten by an
unprovoked undomesticated animal
such as a raccoon or a squirrel, an
immediate shot may be necessary to
prevent the possibility of a rabies
infection.
Human bite can sometimes be more
dangerous than that of an animal
because human saliva contains many
more types of bacteria which may
cause infection.
6. Bite wound
Use anti-bacterial soap and water to
thoroughly clean the bite wound.
Apply antibiotic ointment such as
Neosporin to prevent infection.
If the injury resulted in broken skin,
dress it with a sterile bandage
(replace the dressing frequently).
If the bite is deep, the victim may
need to be treated for puncture
wound.
7. Bruises
Since our blood vessels become
more fragile with age, the elderly
tend to bruise easier than healthy
adults and children.
So, if a child sustains excessive
bruising, it may be an indication of a
more serious injury and should be
treated accordingly.
8. Bruises
To reduce the bump and minimize
the pain:
- have the victim elevate the injured
area
- apply a commercial ice pack or ice
cubes wrapped in a towel for 30 to
45 minutes.
- this process should be repeated for a
few days or until the swelling and the
9. Cuts & scrapes
Clean the wound with mild anti-
bacterial soap and water.
You can use sterilized tweezers to
remove any debris (this will reduce
the risk of an infection and possible
complications).
10. Cuts & scrapes
use gauze or a clean cloth to apply gentle,
continuous pressure until the blood clots.
hydrogen peroxide is not very effective
and may even delay the healing process
by irritating a person's living cells, so:
You can use hydrogen peroxide but apply
it around the open wound, not directly to
it.
An antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin
is a better alternative - it will keep the
wound from getting infected and speed up
the healing process.
11. Cuts & scrapes
Dress the wound with a bandage or
sterile gauze to keep dirt and
bacteria out (change the dressing
frequently)
Continue to monitor the wound for
several days.
12. Puncture wounds
Stepping on a nail or a shard of glass
that's been exposed to the elements
A bite from a household pet or
another person that results in a
puncture wound.
Both cases---consult a phisician!
13. Puncture wounds
If the injury is minor:
Clean it with soap and water.
Apply an antibiotic ointment such as
Neosporin (to prevent infection).
Dress the wound with sterile
bandage (replace the dressing
frequently).
14. Puncture wounds
If you notice:
- persistent redness,
- puffiness,
- the wound starts to ooze pus
-------consult a physician right away!
15. Fractures
Typical symptoms of a fracture are:
Immediate and excessive swelling
Injured area appears deformed
The farthest point of the injured limb
turns blue or is numb to the touch
Even slight movement or contact to
the injured area causes excessive
pain
16. What to do?
Dial 9-9-9/1-1-2 immediately.
Immobilize the broken bone with a splint.
Useful information about a functional splint:
- can be made of almost any material
(wood, plastic, etc.)
- must be rigid and is longer than the
broken bone.
17. How apply the splint?
- lay it along the broken bone
- wrap it against the limb with gauze
or a length of cloth (start at a point
farthest from the body)
- do not wrap it too tight as this may
cut off blood flow
18. Useful tips:
If the break is in the forearm:
- loosely wrap a magazine/a thick
newspaper around the break
- use a sling fashioned from gauze or a
strip of cloth to keep the elbow
immobilized.
19. A break in the lower part of the leg:
- requires two splints, one on each
side of the leg (or at least the shin)
- if suitable material is not available---
use the victim's healthy leg as a
makeshift splint
20. Keep the victim from moving and until an
ambulance arrives, remember ICE:
"I" is for ice - if possible apply an ice pack
or ice cubes to the injured area (this will
keep down the swelling and reduce pain).
"C" is for compression - if the wound is
bleeding, apply direct pressure with a
clean cloth to reduce blood flow.
"E" is for elevation - try to keep the
injured area as high above heart level as
possible (this will reduce blood flow to the
21. Burns
1st degree burns are usually
accompanied by redness and
some swelling of the skin.
- keep the injury under cool running
water for at least 10 minutes,
- if running water is not available
place the burn in a container of cool
water such as a bucket, tub or even
a deep dish,
25. 2nd degree burns will result in
deeper, more intense redness of
the skin as well as swelling and
blistering.
- should be treated just as a 1st
degree burn plus:
If the burn is big, it’s necessary to go
to hospital
26. Burns
3rd degree burns:
- may appear and feel deceptively
harmless as the victim may not feel
much pain (due to complete
destruction of all layers of skin and
tissue as well as nerve endings)
-may appear charred or ash-color
-may instantly start to blister or
"peel".
27. Burns
What to do?
-If the victim's clothing is on fire, douse him with
non-flammable liquid.
-Dial 9-9-9/1-1-2.
-Do not remove burnt clothing from the victim
(this will expose open wounds to the elements
and potential infection).
-If possible, cover the victim's injuries with wet
sterile cloth to reduce the pain and swelling.
-If you notice that the victim is going into shock
and loses consciousness, you will need to perform
CPR.
29. Nose bleed
A nose bleed may be caused by:
a fall,
a strike to the nose,
breathing excessively dry air.
30. Nose bleed
What to do?
Do NOT tilt the victim's head
backward.
Have the victim sit or stand upright
(to slow down the flow of blood).
Loosen any tight clothing around the
victim's neck.
31. Nose bleed
If possible, have the victim spit out
excess saliva (swallowing may
disturb the clot and cause nausea).
Pinch the nostrils shut and press the
tip of the nose.
Put on ice pack on the bridge of
nose.
Maintain pressure for 5 to 10
minutes.
32. Nose bleed
Once the bleeding has stopped, the
victim should avoid:
- blowing his nose,
- straining himself.
33. Nose bleed
Take the victim to the nearest
emergency room as soon as possible
if:
- the victim's nose continues to bleed
(above 20 min)
- the blood flow appears to be
excessive,
- the victim feels weak or faint.
34. Fractures
Typical symptoms of a fracture are:
Immediate and excessive swelling
Injured area appears deformed
The farthest point of the injured limb
turns blue or is numb to the touch
Even slight movement or contact to
the injured area causes excessive
pain

If the break is in the forearm:
- loosely wrap a magazine/
- a thick newspaper around the break
- use a sling fashioned from gauze or a
strip of cloth to keep the elbow
immobilized.
38. A break in the lower part of the leg:
- requires two splints, one on each
side of the leg (or at least the shin)
- if suitable material is not available---

bleeding, apply direct pressure with a
clean cloth to reduce blood flow.
"E" is for elevation - try to keep the
injured area as high above heart level as
possible. This will reduce blood flow to the
injury and minimize swelling.
41. Choking
What to do?
Always encourage the indivudual to
coughing.
If it doesn’t work you will need to
perform the Heimlich Maneuver
immediately.
But first tell smb to call 999/112.
If you are alone with an adult, skip
this step until later - it's more
important to fix the choking.
42. Choking
Give 5 back blows:
• Stand slightly behind the victim.
• Place one arm diagonally across the
victim's chest for support and lean him
forward.
• With the heel of your other hand, strike
the victim firmly between the shoulder
blades.
44. Choking
Give 5 abdominal thrusts:
• Place the thumb side of your fist just
above the victim's belly button.
• Grab your fist with your free hand.
• Pull quick, upward thrusts to dislodge
the object.
45. Choking
Repeat Back Blows and Abdominal
Thrusts until:
-the object is forced out,
-the victim can breathe,
-or the victim becomes unconscious.
47. Electric shock
In the event of electric shock do NOT rush
to assist the victim until you are certain
that he is no longer in contact with
electricity.
If at all possible, turn off the source of
electricity (i.e. light switch, circuit
breaker, etc.)
If this is not an option, use non-
conductive material such as plastic or dry
wood to separate the source of electricity
from the victim.
48. Electric shock
Check the victim's vitals signs such
as: the depth of his breathing and
regularity of his heart beat.
If the victim is responsive and does
not appear seriously injured but
looks pale or faint, he may be at risk
of going into shock.
Gently lay him down with his head
slightly lower than his chest and his
feet elevated.
49. Fractures
Typical symptoms of a fracture are:
Immediate and excessive swelling
Injured area appears deformed
The farthest point of the injured limb
turns blue or is numb to the touch
Even slight movement or contact to
the injured area causes excessive
pain
50. What to do?
Dial 9-9-9/1-1-2 immediately.
Immobilize the broken bone with a
splint.
Useful information about a functional
splint:
- can be made of almost any material
(wood, plastic, etc.)
- must be rigid and is longer than the
51. How apply the splint?
- lay it along the broken bone
- wrap it against the limb with gauze
or a length of cloth (start at a point
farthest from the body)
- do not wrap it too tight as this may
cut off blood flow
52. Useful tips:
If the break is in the forearm:
- loosely wrap a magazine/
- a thick newspaper around the break
- use a sling fashioned from gauze or a
strip of cloth to keep the elbow
immobilized.
53. A break in the lower part of the leg:
- requires two splints, one on each
side of the leg (or at least the shin)
- if suitable material is not available---
use the victim's healthy leg as a
makeshift splint.
54. As much as possible, keep the victim from
moving and until an ambulance arrives,
remember ICE:
"I" is for ice - if possible apply an ice pack
or ice cubes to the injured area. This will
keep down the swelling and reduce pain.
"C" is for compression - if the wound is
bleeding, apply direct pressure with a
clean cloth to reduce blood flow.
"E" is for elevation - try to keep the
injured area as high above heart level as
possible. This will reduce blood flow to the
injury and minimize swelling.
55. Head Injury
Although most minor head injuries caused
by a fall or a strike to the head may result
in a bruise or a bump and are not
dangerous, it is extremely important to
pay close attention to the following
symptoms:
Excessive bleeding from an open wound
Loss of consciousness
Interruption of breathing
Prolonged disorientation or apparent
memory loss
56. If you detect any of the above, the victim may have
sustained serious head trauma and will require professional
medical attention. If that's the case, dial 9-1-1
immediately. Until the ambulance arrives:
If possible, place the victim in a dim, quiet area.
Lay the victim down with his head and shoulders slightly
elevated.
If the wound is bleeding, dress it with gauze or clean cloth.
Do not leave the victim unattended.
If the victim loses consciousness, you may need to perform
CPR.
If the injury does not appear serious or extend beyond
minor bruising, it should be treated accordingly.
57. Nosebleed
A human nose is rich with small
fragile blood vessels which are
susceptible to damage. A nosebleed
may be caused by a fall, a strike to
the nose, or even from breathing
excessively dry air. If the nosebleed
is not a symptom of a more serious
injury, it is rarely dangerous and can
usually be stopped by applying
continuous pressure.
58. Do NOT tilt the victim's head backward.
Have the victim sit or stand upright to
slow down the flow of blood.
Loosen any tight clothing around the
victim's neck.
If possible, have the victim spit out excess
saliva - swallowing may disturb the clot
and cause nausea.
Pinch the nostrils shut and press the tip of
the nose against the bones of the face.
59. Maintain pressure for 5 to 10 minutes.
Once the bleeding has stopped, the victim
should avoid blowing his nose or otherwise
straining himself for at least an hour.
If the victim's nose continues to bleed or if
the blood flow appears to be excessive, or
if the victim feels weak or faint, the
damage may be more serious than it
appears. You should call 9-1-1 or take him
to the nearest emergency room as soon as
possible.
60. Puncture wounds
Unlike a cut, a puncture wound does not typically
result in profuse or excessive bleeding and
although painful, may look harmless as the skin
around the wound simply closes. But puncture
wounds carry a risk of infection and if left
unattended can result in serious complications.
Injuries sustained by stepping on a nail that
punctures through a shoe are especially prone to
infection. If the injury is caused by stepping on a
nail or a shard of glass that's been exposed to the
elements, it is a good idea to consult a physician
who may recommend a tetanus shot or booster.
61. A bite from a household pet or
another person that results in a
puncture wound should be
considered and treated as serious
injury. If the bleeding is heavy or the
item that caused the wound appears
unsanitary, thoroughly clean the
injured area with mild anti-bacterial
soap and water and seek
professional medical assistance as
62. If the injury is minor, clean it with soap
and water and apply an antibiotic
ointment such as Neosporin to prevent
infection. Dress the wound with sterile
bandage and replace the dressing
frequently. It is prudent to keep a close
eye on the wound for several days to
prevent an onset of an infection from any
debris that may've lodged itself deep in
the wound. If you notice persistent
redness or puffiness or if the wound starts
to ooze pus, have the victim consult a
doctor right away.
