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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
Introduction : About me & the Council, www.careersinoilandgas.com Overview of presentation Will be at Careers in Oil + Gas booth
Often when people think of working oil and gas they think of either working on the rigs… or working at a service station. However, there are a large number of careers available in the oil and gas industry, from finding it to putting it into your car.
The word “Petroleum” literally means ‘rock oil’ or “ crude oil” – including heavy and light oil and bitumen. Petroleum is the general term for solid, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are a class of organic compounds consisting only of carbon and hydrogen and which are the basis of oil, natural gas and coal. – Centre for Energy Basically - C’s and H’s in Chemistry class. A very basic example is CH 4 which is methane , or natural gas.
Some quick statistics to give you some perspective on Canada’s Oil and Gas industry. 3 rd largest natural gas producer following USA and Russia The industry pays royalties, fees and taxes - $18 Billion! - and supports communities across the country (source CAPP) Did you know? - oil was first commercially produced in 1858 in Oil Springs, Ontario There is an oil industry right here in Ontario. There are about 2,500 producing oil and gas wells in Ontario, primarily in the southwestern tip of Ontario in and around Sarnia. Two refineries – Sarnia, Nanticoke – Imperial Oil, Nova Chemicals.
Oil & Gas is a national industry – there is oil and gas activity in every province (except Nunavut) Arctic: 16% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves; Arctic Islands, Beaufort Sea, Mackenzie Valley Offshore east coast: 18% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves; offshore platforms are Hibernia, Sable Island, Terra Nova and White Rose. Shale gas deposits also exist in Quebec and New Brunswick. - Offshore west coast: 4% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves; 1972 moratoria on development
Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB): is the largest basin in North America and contains one of the world's largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas Includes: southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. 57% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves (87% of gas and 97% of oil production) exist in WCSB Including oil sands (not counted as “conventional”) – crude oil production will almost double by 2025, reaching more than 4.3 million barrels per day (2010 about 2.8 million b/d) Canada has 175 billion barrels of oil that can be recovered economically with today’s technology. Of that, 170 billion barrels are located in the oil sands (ERCB & Oil & Gas Journal) 81% of the oil and gas workforce is in Alberta – 150,513
“ The oil and gas industry is divided into three distinct segments, upstream, midstream and downstream: Upstream refers to the early stages of oil and gas development – mainly finding it, then extracting it from the ground; Midstream refers to the storage and movement of oil and gas, from where it’s produced to where it needs to be upgraded into ‘consumer products’, then sold; Downstream refers to the upgrading, production of consumer products and sale.
Remind that there is no ‘giant lake/ocean’ of oil and gas underneath western Canada. Oil and natural gas exist in the porous rock found under our feet. In order to ‘look inside’ the rock, scientists must undertake seismic surveys of the land. Once they are (reasonably) sure where the oil and gas is located, then they either drill ‘conventional’ wells, develop oil sands deposits or, in Atlantic Canada, build drilling platforms to extract petroleum from the ocean’s floor.
Once petroleum has been extracted from the ground, it must be transported from its (usually) remote locations to areas where it can be directly upgraded or refined, or stored until it is ready to be updated or refined. The images here show common methods of transportation and storage – tankership, pipeline, truck and liquefied natural gas (LNG) ports (where natural gas is compressed into liquid form, then sent overseas in ships – upon arrival at ‘customers’, the LNG is converted back into a gaseous state.
Pipelines transport crude oil and raw natural gas over long distances from producing regions of Canada to refineries and processing plants , where these energy sources are converted into useful fuels, such as gasoline, diesel and commercial-grade natural gas. Pipelines are also used to transport these consumer-ready fuels from refineries and gas processing plants to large terminals on the edge of towns and cities, where they can then be distributed to homes and businesses. This is just illustrates the liquids pipelines. Visit cepa.ca for more information on natural gas pipelines. Rather than follow the lines in detail, it is important here to point out the expanse and complication of pipelines across North America. Not just pipe Pipelines consist of pipe, as well as related equipment. Compressors or pumps keep the gases and liquids flowing through pipelines, while valves control the flow and keep things running smoothly. Pipelines are a critical part of Canada’s oil, petroleum products and natural gas delivery network.
Oil and gas on its own can’t be used for much: • oil pumped from the ground or from the oil sands needs to be refined into the products we understand in our everyday lives – lubricating oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, etc. • Petrochemicals – Using liquids from natural gas (ethane and propane especially) – polypropylene plastics are produced • Natural gas is distributed and used in home heating and electricity production (to name but a few uses), but a common location is first required.
A minimum of 9,500 jobs! Age-related attrition is the driving force behind a minimum of 9,500 job openings that the industry will need to fill over the next four years. The industry is also grappling with skill and experience shortages as it loses workers due to retirement. This is short-term to 2015 for four major upstream and midstream sectors, including – taken from our LMI data: Oil and gas services Exploration and production (E&P) Oil sands Pipeline
This is short-term to 2015 for four major upstream and midstream sectors, including – taken from our LMI data: Oil and gas services Exploration and production (E&P) Oil sands Pipeline
These are petroleum sectors that we cover – part of upstream and midstream industries.

Nine “key job families” Anticipated labour market demand... The future employment prospects (industry-wide and oil sands) Go into listing of careers
80% office vs 20% on-site (plant, facility – can be remote, but not the same as service field work)
Surveying • Use high-tech global positioning systems (GPS) and conventional survey equipment to create maps and design the routes where the seismic survey will be conducted on a prospect (a piece of land under serious consideration). Line Clearing • Clear environmentally sensitive routes and trails in the bush using a variety of techniques such as non-mechanical line cutting methods (hand cutting and limbing) and low ground pressure mechanical cutting methods involving “cats” and mulchers. Seismic Drilling • Use truck-mounted, buggie, track or heli-portable drills to drill holes on flagged shot points (the point at which an explosion originates, generating vibrations in the ground) and plant explosive charges. This work is not required if vibrating equipment is used instead of dynamite. Data Acquisition and Recording • Create artificial sound waves and earthquakes through the use of dynamite explosives and/or vibrating equipment and record characteristics of the underground rock structures.
Key difference between drilling rigs and service rigs: Nature of the equipment and the length of time spent on a particular site. You can start entry level and work your way up to a field or corporate management. DRILLING RIG CREWS: Rig crews follow the rig when it moves from job to job. May spend weeks or months drilling a very deep well and once finished, never return to that site. 24/7 operations. Cover your own expenses, but get allowance. Each drilling crew has between 4 and 6 individuals. 3-4 crews are assigned to a rig to maintain its 24/7 operations (7 days AM, 7 days PM, 7 days off) – OR 20 days on/10 days off).The Drilling Crew is made up of both entry-level positions, e.g. Leasehands and Floorhands, and increasingly senior-level positions, e.g. Motorhand, Derrickhand, Driller and Rig Manager. SERVICE RIG CREWS: Service Rig Crews are onsite for a much shorter period of time (days or weeks) and operate during daytime hours . There return regularly to maintain and enhance production of the wells, look after wells in a set area, are smaller than drilling rigs and are mobile , employers cover expenses. are between 4-6 people on the single crew assigned to a service rig. The crew is made up of both entry-level positions, e.g. Floorhands, and increasingly senior-level positions, e.g. Derrickman, Operator and Rig Manager.
Services/supply and manufacturers - Provide the specialized services and equipment needed for preparing, completing, testing, maintaining and reclaiming crude oil and natural gas wells. Cementing Helpers – part of a crew that maintains and operates high-pressure mixing and pumping systems for placement of cements and fluids into wells Fracturing Operator – operate equipment to create hydraulic fracturing around the formation surrounding the well; maintain stimulation equipment; operate pump equipment. Rigger – attach slings to loads which must be winched or boomed on and off flatbed trailers; signals driver during loading/unloading/backing up; loads and unloads drill pipe. Snubber – requires working with a well under pressure; insertion and removal of drill pipe, tubing or specialized equipment into or from a well. Well Testing Assistant – operates temporary surface production well-testing equipment to record surface pressures and gas and liquid rates to determine a well’s production viability; maintain and service equipment; “rig-in” and “rig-out” equipment; data collection. Wireline Operator – operates wireline or cable (slickline) to lower objects or downhole equpment and tools into a well
Think about the “person power” required to build pipelines that long (not only for pipefitters, welders, etc., but also environmental planners, etc.), to maintain them - fix any problems that can arise, etc.
Oil sands are a mixture of sand, water, clay and bitumen (oil). By 2020, more than 80% of Canada's future oil production is expected to come from the oil sands. The oil sands in Canada are found in Alberta - in the Athabasca, Peace River and Cold Lake regions - covering nearly 140,200* square kilometres. Oil sands sector is involved in the extraction, production and upgrading of bitumen. Oil sands activity can be broken down into three operation types: Mining – activities to explore and recover oil sands reserves through mining from open pits In situ – activities to explore and recover oil sands reserves in place, or “in situ”, by drilling wells Upgrading – converting bitumen into a product with a lower density and viscosity There are two different methods of producing oil from the oil sands: open-pit mining and in situ. Bitumen that is close to the surface is mined. Bitumen that occurs deep within the ground is produced in situ using specialized extraction techniques. Oil Sands - Exploration + Production Shallow oil sand deposits (up to 75 metres deep) make up about 20% of the reserves. They are accessed via open mines. Many heavy equipment operators are needed to operate the shovels that collect the oil sands and drive the enormous oil sands trucks from the mine site to the processing facility. Close to 80% of oil sands reserves are located too far below the surface for mining. Wells are drilled for this oil, just like wells in the conventional oil industry, but more help is needed to get the bitumen to flow up the wellbore. Because the oil is so thick, sophisticated technologies, like Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), are used to help the oil flow to the surface.
The Canadian oil sands region is home to an estimated 173 billion barrels of oil, or about 97% of Canada's total oil reserves. By 2021: In Situ operations will employ almost half (48 per cent) of the oil sands workforce Mining operations will remain a key employer in the sector, accounting for 38 per cent of the workforce Upgrading will employ 14 per cent of the workforce In 2011, Canada’s oil sands sector directly employed 20,304 workers. This included: 8,217 jobs in in situ operations 8,110 jobs in mining operations 3,977 jobs in upgrading As conventional sources of energy begin to decline, the Canadian oil sands will become a significant source of global energy for future generations.
Tradespersons account for 18.6% of all workers in Alberta. (Statistics Canada, CANSIM Table 282-0063) Statistics Canada reports tradespersons in the oil and gas industry in the same category as transport and equipment operators.
