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.

On Feb. 20, 1974, he was hit with the force of an extraordinary revelation
after a visit to the dentist for which he had received a dose of sodium
pentothal. He suddenly experienced what he called, with a nod to
Plato, anamnesis: the recollection or total recall of the entire sum of
knowledge. He claimed to have access to what philosophers call the
faculty of “intellectual intuition”: the direct perception by the mind of a
metaphysical reality behind screens of appearance.
This was not a standalone experience for him. He continued to have
psychedelic visions, hearing voices, prophetic dreams etc. At one

The prank cost the company X almost $2 billion in
market cap.
ID X and Y.

prisons there for the next 5 years. Throughout all of this
time he had pleaded with the British authorities for
assistance in fighting his cause for justice. He believed that
they had not given his case sufficient attention.
Bellingham was finally released and returned to England in
1809 a very bitter man. He felt deep resentment against
the British authorities and immediately set about seeking
financial compensation from them for his suffering and loss
of business. Once again, however, Bellingham felt that he
was being ignored. He petitioned the Foreign Secretary,
the Treasury, the Privy Council, the Prime Minister, even
the Prince Regent, but all to no avail.

Thierry had to determine where on Earth he
would have to be, and at precisely what time he
would need to aim his camera skyward in order
to capture the image — two conditions that led
to his being in Queensland, Australia on the
morning of June 6th.
There, at 11:42:25 local time, shooting at ten
frames per second, he captured a total of nine
images of Hubble as it zipped across the face of
the Sun.
62. He was a legislator in Athens in 7th century BCE.
He was responsible for creating one of the first
written set of laws.
In 590 BCE, Grecian authorities held a
celebration to commemorate his hard work.
Unfortunately, he died from suffocation due to
audience members tossing hundreds of coats
and shirts on top of him, a common custom
from the time performed to show respect.
Who?
65. Sebastian Barry’s novel “On Canaan’s side” has
just won the 2012 X prize for historical fiction.
The X prize, founded in 2010 is given to novels
that are set at least 60 years in the past. The
prize money, 25K pounds, makes it one of the
biggest literary awards in U.K.
X is an author who is considered the originator of
historical fiction, with his novel “Waverley” in
1814 (he published Waverley anonymously, as
he wanted to maintain his name as a poet and
not as a novelist). Waverley’s background is the
Jacobite uprising in 1745.
ID X.
69. This painting, titled “Shah Jahan and Dara
Shikoh” is a miniature copied by X.

the drawings were on the art market in the

and that X was an active collector.
Mughal miniatures were known as “Suratse
teeckeningen” or “drawings from Surate”, in the
country that X lived.
ID X.
72. The 1992 dream team consisted of possibly the greatest
players of all time. One player in his prime was left out.
It was suggested for a long time that he was left out
because Michael Jordan didn’t want him in the dream
team.
A new NBA documentary this month finally confirms
these speculations that Jordan and Pippen had
threatened not to be a part of dream team if that player
was also picked.
One of the main incidents leading up to this was the
1992 Eastern Conference Championships, where this
player led his team off the floor before the buzzer,
without congratulating the Bulls.
Who was this player?
84. Protesters in Stratford-upon-Avon, England,
covered signs and statues featuring
Shakespeare to protest over a film called
"Anonymous," which premiered at the London
Film Festival. The film suggests that the world
famous playwright was not the true author of his
works and was barely literate.
85. ID X. "It is known by locals as the statue of three lies--
the inscription claims X as the founder of the University,
when in fact he was just a contributor; the inscription
also says the Institution was founded in 1638, when in
fact in was 1636; and finally, the statue does not depict
a true likeness of X."
99. A bronze statue of Franz Kafka sitting on the
shoulders of a headless, limbless man stands in
the city of Prague. It represents a dream that he

short stories, “Description of a Struggle,”

Metamorphosis.
