This chapter discusses the benefits of engaging in extracurricular activities to broaden your education beyond required coursework. It encourages participation in student organizations, engineering projects, study abroad programs, pre-professional employment like internships, and community service. Benefits include developing leadership, social and professional skills as well as strengthening your resume and career opportunities. Specific extracurricular activities discussed include student organizations, design competitions, undergraduate research, cooperative education programs, informational interviews, career fairs and study abroad.
This module provides you with evidence-based information to develop effective job application documentation (cover letters, resumes, application forms) and strategies to perform well in interviews, assessment centres and psychometric testing.

Cross Campus Workshop:
As a small group, create visual representations of your design on Post-Its (you may use as many as you need). Please write clearly and with LARGE letters, and include all information discussed, including the prompts to be used. Someone from your group should be prepared to present your pages very briefly (1-2 min) to the whole group. We will then use them in the next seminar activity (Campus Team Time).

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 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.
