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 discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. 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.

1. Free access journal a case of African Journal
of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and
Development (AJFAND)
Presenter: Prof. Judith Kimiywe
2. Background
• The African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and
Development (AJFAND), is among the very few internationally
renowned peer reviewed journals published in Africa
• It was launched in August 2001, as the African Journal of Food and
Nutritional Sciences (AJFNS) as a pilot project managed of the
Rural Outreach Programme (ROP) by Hon. Prof. Ruth Oniang’o as
the CEO and chief editor.
• It became evident that nutrition issues were closely linked to
agriculture and human development in Africa. In recognition of
this close linkage, the name of the journal was changed to AJFAND
3. VISION
• AJFAND envisions a world where information on Food,
Agriculture, Nutrition and Development is contributed and
shared honestly, respectfully, equally and impartially, a
world in which the AJFAND supports all those who would
like to contribute to knowledge.
• The key guiding principle is that no culture has a
monopoly of knowledge.
4. MISSION
The Mission is to inform policy and decision-making
in the field of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and
Development, the application of emerging
technologies for innovative interventions, their
regulation through related research.
5. GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
To provide a platform, through which food and nutrition issues
and information concerning Africa, and its unique problems
could be effectively addressed and disseminated.
A second objective of the journal was to provide a capacity
building facility in scholarly publishing for budding African
scholars.
6. COVERAGE
• The journal initially aimed at releasing two issues per year.
Indeed it did and each issue carried about 10 research
articles and one or two student articles. The student articles
aimed at encouraging and introducing university students to
the culture of publishing.
• It grew into a quarterly publication with each issue
combining research, programs and policy aspects.
• This year for the past 7 months it has been able to produce
an issue of 10-12 articles per month.
7. COVERAGE CONT.
• Besides academic research, the journal provides an
avenue for sharing information on national-level
food and nutrition programs, commentaries, short
communications, book reviews, and relevant news
and events, obituaries of friends of AJFAND also
included.
8. COVERAGE: Topics
A number of issues addressed in the articles is uniquely African
and may not be suitable for publication in journals outside
Africa, or to readership outside the continent such issues
include:
• Role of indigenous African foods in food and nutrition
security
• Preparation, processing , preservation and storage of African
foods
• Hunger, malnutrition and the challenges associated with
agriculture in Africa
• Modern technology such as Genetically Modified Organisms
and its opposition amidst food insufficiency and women in
agriculture
9. EVALUATION OF READERSHIP
• The number of manuscripts received weekly helps in
evaluating the readership coverage as many manuscripts
come in on weekly basis with a checklist attached which
means they visit the website.
• AJFAND has also signed agreements with major institutions
that carry and distribute data therefore the journal can be
accessed this way. The journal has also designed a counting
tool which helps in evaluating readership.
10. MOTIVATION
• To motivate reviewers and authors of AJFAND photographs
of the authors are allowed on their article, while for the
reviewers, their profiles are put on the AJFAND web page for
visibility and recognition.
• In an effort to bring on board Francophone countries,
AJFAND publishes article abstracts both in English and
French for the benefit of French speaking clientele in Africa
and abroad. Translating has been stopped due to the high
cost involved.
11. OPPORTUNITIES
• Education and Research
Supporting: networking, accessing, sharing, and publishing
of papers for researchers, scholars, scientists, and academics
on agriculture, food, nutrition, environmental management
and sustainable development related information
• Library
Creating and preserving online digital information across all
formats and ensures effective access and management of
information to all, especially those serving research and
educational communities. The online article library ensures
that its collections remain forward-looking, open to
browsing, and of world-renowned quality.
12. Opportunities
• Publishing Support
Strengthening the work of editors and communication
professionals, especially those in research and science. Through
publishing, AJFAND makes people aware of the resources
available to them, and through innovation, it makes access to
these resources easier.
• Rural Development and Agriculture
Supporting networking, accessing, sharing, and publishing of
information for rural development practitioners. The lack of basic
information plays a significant part in the persistence of poverty.
Poor people need better connections to schools, health care,
markets, essential services and each other. Almost all of the
Millennium Development Goals depend on providing
infrastructure.
13. Opportunities
• Health and Nutrition
Supporting and facilitating communication,
networking, accessing, sharing, and publishing of
information between researchers, practitioners,
and policymakers involved in health promotion
activities. Recent topics include HIV/AIDS, health
and sanitation promotion in rural areas, food
safety, food security, food trade, healthier eating,
infant feeding, and immunization
14. Challenges
• Sustainability of the journal in terms of reviewers and
paying the secretariat staff.
• Funding for the journal: This was started as a capacity
building project and as such we do not impose a fee to
publish papers. The journal has had one dedicated donor for
the past two years who has since decided to reduce the
amount they have been giving .
• It is hoped that other donors will be able to step in to
support such an important project.
15. ACHIEVEMENTS
• The first issues of the journal were the conventional print
version. From March 2002, the journal went online, with the
website www.ajfns.net. Since November 2003, the journal
has been issued entirely online; with the change of name,
the website is www.ajfand.net.
• The benefits that have been reaped by going online include:
shorter production cycles, increased visibility and
recognition, more efficient quality control through
electronic peer review, greater versatility in the design of
the electronic files and an opportunity to build capacity in
electronic publishing.
16. Achievements
• The journal has become very popular for example instead of
looking for reviewers the scientists are asking to volunteer
as reviewers therefore the energies that were directed
toward marketing the journal can be redirected to solving
other challenges. The quality of publications has also
improved to march the international standards.
17. ACHIEVEMENT
• Since its inception, the journal has grown from strength to
strength as evidenced by the diversity and caliber of
submissions received. It receives submissions from all over
Africa. Quite frequently, submissions are received from
outside Africa, including Europe, USA and Asia, the number
of reviewer has also grown.
• Besides academic research, the journal provides an avenue
for sharing information on national-level food and nutrition
programs, commentaries, short communications, book
reviews, and relevant news and events, obituaries of friends
of AJFAND also included.
18. QUALITY ASSURANCE
For quality assurance AJFAND has signed contracts with
several institutions including:
• University of Toronto, Canada in 2006
• GALE / Cengage Learning, USA in 2009
• Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)a division of The American
Chemical Society, USA in 2008
• International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) FRANCE in2009
• CABI Publishing, UK in 2009
• Cornell University Albert R. Mann Library, USA in 2009
• EBSCO Publishing, USA in 2010
19. WAYFORWARD
- To be indexed by Thompsons SI
-To find a more sustainable funding module
- To link with policy and programs instruments
20. Hon. Prof. Ruth Oniang’o, Editor in
Chief
As Founder Editor-in-
Chief of AJFAND, I wish
