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.

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

3. Benefits-- Overview
Reduces costs for students.
Increase options for the types of educational resources that educators use
(as well as what students may read/use as tools in their classes).
Increases attainability of the source after the class terms have passed.
Reduces worry about using sources due to the unknown about whether
they may be protected by copyright.
Providing students access to online resources increases the probability of
them using and accessing the materials.
4. Benefits, Continued
Costs: Students may not have to purchase textbooks due to OER. This
would greatly reduce costs associated with attending college. In turn, this
may increase retention of students.
Options: A broader variety of resources may be available to educators to
use within their classes. In turn, students may receive an increased amount
of exposure to diverse materials.
Unknown: Using OER reduces worries about whether the resources are
protected by copyright.
Access: OER provides students with opportunities to access materials even
after the class term has passed.
5. Challenges-- Overview
Ensuring the quality of OER materials.
Possible questioning regarding the funding/sustainability of OER.
Little information may be known about how to use OER by those in the
public.

to Creative Commons Licenses being non-revocable.
Materials in OER may not always be accessible.
6. Challenges, Continued
Quality: Not every OER resource may be checked for accuracy or quality of
information. This should be considered by educators before integrating
the material into their curriculums.
Future: The sustainability of OER may be questioned in terms of whether it
may be able to continue in the future due to funding.
Accessibility: Individuals who are not aware of OER may not have
information about how and when they may access such materials. Also, not
every OER resource may be available for individuals to access.
Non-Revocable: Creative Commons Licenses are non-revocable; anyone
may make copies of the materials and distribute them.
