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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

ETHNOCENTRISM
Ethnocentrism is universal and built into all cultures’
communication systems and value orientations. Some
degree of ethnocentrism is needed for wellbeing, for
building a sense of identity and self-esteem, and for
avoiding anomie. In contrast, high levels of
ethnocentrism are considered to be harmful because
other groups are seen less worthy, potentially to
discrimination and prejudice (Goncz, 2018).

18. Step 1: Add your responses to scale items 4, 7, and 9.
Step 2: Add your responses to scale items 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14,
18, 20, 21, and 22.
Step 3: Subtract the sum from Step 1 from 18 (i.e., 18 minus Step 1 sum).
Step 4: Add the results of Step 2 and Step 3.
This sum is your generalized ethno-centrism score. Higher scores indicate higher ethnocentrism. Scores above 55
are considered high ethnocentrism.
19. Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism forms the basis for
patriotism and the willingness to
sacrifice for one’s central ingroup.
Ethnocentrism may result in
prejudice, discrimination, and
even ethnic cleaning.
22. ethnocentrism leads to ‘‘self-centered
dialogue’’
A higher level of ethnocentrism reflects a lower level of intercultural competence (Bennett, 2004)
23. Executive Team
The roadmap developed for the
executive team aims to secure buy-in
for the product vision
as cultural competence increases, ethnocentrism decreases, or as
ethnocentrism increases, cultural competence decreases.
• Ethnocentrism negatively influences intercultural
communication and especially one’s motivation to
interactant with person from different cultures.
27. Ethnocentrism, which can be conceptualized as a preference
for one’s own cultural standing or values can adversely affect
harmonious intergroup relations. It has also been linked to
lower cultural sensitivity and can increase out-group
negativity (Logan et al., 2015).
The results from the present study and similar others
highlight the importance of understanding ethnocentrism as
a hurdle to be confronted in developing ICC (Goncalves et
al., 2020).
