The document summarizes factors that influence effective teaching in language programs. It discusses four main factors: institutional factors, teacher factors, teaching factors, and learner factors. For institutional factors, it describes how organizational culture, quality indicators, and teaching context can impact teaching. It also discusses the importance of supporting teachers through orientation, training, mentoring, and feedback to facilitate effective teaching.
The influence of Stephen Krashen on language education research and practice is undeniable. First introduced over 20 years ago, his theories are still debated today. In 1983, he published The Natural Approach with Tracy Terrell, which combined a comprehensive second language acquisition theory with a curriculum for language classrooms. The influence of Natural Approach can be seen especially in current EFL textbooks and teachers resource books such as The Lexical Approach (Lewis, 1993). Krashen’s theories on second language acquisition have also had a huge impact on education in the state of California, starting in 1981 with his contribution to Schooling and language minority students: A theoretical framework by the California State Department of Education (Krashen 1981). Today his influence can be seen most prominently in the debate about bilingual education and perhaps less explicitly in language education policy: The BCLAD/CLAD teacher assessment tests define the pedagogical factors affecting first and second language development in exactly the same terms used in Krashen’s Monitor Model (California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, 1998).

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.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
3. Focus:
• How quality teaching can be achieved and maintained in a language
program
• consequence of how well teachers teach
• work environment that teachers can facilitate good teaching
Four factors to be considered
• 1. institutional factors
• 2. teacher factors
• 3. teaching factors
• 4. learner factors
5. The organizational culture Refers to
• the ethos and environment that exist within a school
• the kinds of communications and decision making that take place
• the management and staffing structure they support
6. • Some questions reveal school’s organization culture
1. What are the school’s goals and mission?
2. What is the school’s management style?
3. What shared values do staff have?
4. What are the decision-making characteristics of the school?
5. What roles do teachers perform?
6. How are teaching and other work planned and monitored?
7. What provision is made for staff development?
8. How are courses and curriculum planned?
9. How receptive is the school to change and innovation?
10. How open are communication channels?
7. • Basic to the organizational culture of an institution is management structure.
built by managerial choices
• Managerial decision specifies in two aspects
1. the number and type of jobs in the organization
2. the process that subordinate, control, and link them, such as authority
relationships, communication networks, and specific planning and
organizational techniques (Davidson and Tesh 1997)
• Two types of organizational structures
1. Mechanistic model
2. Organic model
8. • Mechanistic model is a bureaucratic approach to organizing collective
activities that stresses “the need for authority, hierarchies of control, and an
explicit chain of command” (Davidson and Tesh 1997, 178)
For example:
1. specialization: specialize in certain level and skills
2. prepared curriculum and syllabus
3. explicit chains of command , all communication in such programs is vertical
4. hiring, promotion, and dismissal policies
9. • The organic model (Davidson and Tesh 1997, 179)
This model maximizes flexibility and adaptability, encourages complete confidence and
trust between superior, and subordinate taps a wide range of human motivations to
achieve organizational goals
For example:
1. flexibility and adaptability, level, skill, or content area
2. professional training for teachers
3. vertical and lateral communication
4. importance of teamwork and committee system
• David and Tresh suggest that most language programs have features of both the organic
and the mechanistic models, depending on the size of the program and the type of staff
working in it.
10. Quality indicators in an institution
• Some schools take seriously ( Morris 1994)
development of a sound curriculum and programs
the best available teachers to be hired
quality instruction and the kinds of support that teachers need to achieve
their best
11. • Characteristics of quality indicators
1. clearly stated educational goals
2. well-planned, balanced and organized program
3. systematic and identifiable processes
4. commitment to learning
5. staff involvement in developing goals
6. motivated and cohesive teaching force
7.Administrator are concerned with teachers professional
development
8. programs to be reviewed and progress to ward their goals is
evaluated
12. • Some schools may not accept the quality indicators.
no educational mission to develop
no plan to achieve
teachers to be poorly motivated, qualified
high staff turnover
low reputation of institution
13. Key dimensions of quality and how quality can become a focus in a school or
language program
1. A sense of mission
• Useful format for articulating a school’s sense of mission in the form of a
mission statement
• Statement developed collectively by those who have a commitment to the
success of the institution
14. 2. A strategic plan
• Description of the long-term vision and goals of an institution and the means
it undertakes for fulfilling them
• Useful overview of the function of strategic planning
1. vision – something hoped to accomplish in the future
2. values – principles of guiding the program
3. purpose – the reasons of the institution’s existence
4. mission – description of visions in terms of specific
goals to achieve
5. goals – specific steps related to each aspect of mission
6. strategies – methods and activities to attain the goals
15. 3. Quality assurance mechanisms
• Refers to systems a school has in place to ensure the quality of its practices
• Factors relevant to creating a culture of quality assurance in an institution:
formulated policy
reasonable and acceptable standards
systems to assess quality regularly
reward system to attain high quality in their work
available support to improve staff’s quality ( their teaching or materials)
16. 4. A sound curriculum
• Features of a school’s programs
the course meeting students’ needs
coherent curriculum to achieve the school’s mission
developed course based on sound education principles
developed course description
high-quality teaching materials and tests
mechanisms to monitor the quality of teaching and learning
reviewed and renewal curriculum
17. 5. Flexible organizational framework
• Effective schools and language programs
• flexible administrators encouraging teachers to innovate
• Atmosphere of trust and support and staff are supported by reasonable
teaching loads, rewards, and opportunities for professional development
• Participatory management style rather than top-down style
18. 6. Good Internal Communications
• Setting up systems that facilitate communications among teachers and between
teachers and administrators
• Such systems include:
1. regular meeting and briefings
2. Access to administrative leaders to accept the teachers 'suggestions
3. Shared decision making
4. availability of relevant course
5. written guidance for staff
6. a system for collecting feedback
7. a system for staff support and for getting constructive comments
8. regular evaluation or feedback sessions
9. regular newsletters, bulletins, or E-mail communication
10. all staff to get to know another and develop collegial relation and friendships
19. Professional Treatment of Teachers
• Language teacher often suffer from poor employment conditions.
• teachers are not recognized as trained professionals with specialized skills and
knowledge
• “ESL teacher often in highly varied and unpredictable situations”.
Leung and Teasdale (1998, 5)
teachers have workforce
• The extent to which teachers are regarded as professionals is indicated by the
following:
Employment terms and conditions
Support and reward systems
20. Opportunities for Teacher Development
• ESL/EFL is a rapidly changing field, and teachers need regular opportunities to update their
professional knowledge and skills.
• Such opportunities may be provided for in a number of way:
Conference participation: teachers can learn about trends, issues, and practices with other
teachers
Workshops and in-service seminars: can offer workshop and seminars on topics of interest
to the staff
Reading groups : articles or books of interest read and discuss
21. Peer observation: teachers can take turns observing each other’s classes
for critical reflection and discussion about teaching approaches.
Writing about teaching: teacher can keep a reflective diary and share it.
Project work : teachers can given the opportunity to develop projects such
as classroom materials, videos, and teaching sources.
Action research: teachers can conduct small-scale classroom research on
their teaching. ( Richards and Lockhart 1994)
22. The Teaching Context:
Size and Staff Structure
• Size of a school and its administrative structure influences many aspects of a
teacher’s work.
• school should develop teachers’ sense about the collegiality.
• offer informal professional activities such as social activities for build up
group relationship
23. Equipment
• Teaching tool
• Some school make extensive investments in computers, CD players, video
recorders…etc.
• The teaching tool can provide a positive effect on teaching , staff workload,
and morale for teachers’ workload and morale.
Support Staff
• Is there any secretarial or administrative staff to help with typing,
time-tabling, and administration?
24. Teacher Work Space
• room for teachers interacting with other colleagues, carry out lesson
preparation, mark assignments, and prepare teaching materials and hand-outs.
Teacher Resource Room
• like a Library (for update their professional knowledge)
Teaching Facilities
• classroom, multimedia lab, computer lab, language lab, self-access center,
and students reading room (facilitate the quality of the teaching program)
Class Size
• class-size needs for each type of course should established based on
teachers, learners, and school factors.
25. The teachers
• Good teacher can compensate for deficiencies in the curriculum, the
material, or the resources.
• Skills and Qualifications
Lortie (1975) indicate that a profession is characterized by:
homogeneous consensual knowledge base (particular knowledge in
some specific field)
restricted entry (degree, certificate)
high social status
self-regulation
legal right to govern daily work affairs
26. • Increasingly, language schools are recruiting better trained and better qualified
language teachers and operating within defined standards of quality.
(Appendix 3; p. 231)
• Core components of teachers of teacher knowledge include the following:
practical knowledge
content knowledge
contextual knowledge
pedagogical knowledge
personal knowledge
reflective knowledge
27. • Teacher are untrained or trained and whether they are novice or
experienced.
• The UCLES Certificate in Language Teaching to Adults focus on six
area of basic teaching skills:
language awareness
learners, teachers, and the teaching/learning context
planning for effective teaching of adult English learners
classroom management and teaching skill
resources and materials for teaching
professional development
28. • Roberts(1998, 67-68) suggests that compared to experienced
teachers, novice teachers tend to have the following characteristics:
Novice teacher’s perceptions of classroom events are relatively
undiscriminating and simpler than those of experienced teachers.
less able to select when planning a lesson.
lack everything which related to teach, organize, plan the course,
and so on.
lack knowledge of what to expect of pupils, what challenges to
set…
lack practical classroom management
29. concerning with control on pupil learning
lack an established “pedagogic content knowledge.”
Lack the practical experience from which to construct personal meanings
for theoretical specialized terms.
Lack a coherent system of concepts with which to think about teaching
Lack specialized vocabulary with which to analyze and discuss teaching
30. Opportunity to develop the skills
• Observation of experienced teacher
• Observation of training videos
• Short theory courses
• Practice teaching under the supervision of experienced teachers
• Working with mentor teacher
31. NNS Teacher’s Needs proposed by Roberts ( 1998, 97)
A Priority for Language Improvement
An erosion through Classroom Discourse
The Support from a Textbook
Personal Experience for Learners’ Difficulty
The Same Common Culture and Group Norms
Teaching Behavior from Mother Tongue Culture
The Influence of English on Education
32. The Function of Institution for Teachers
develop teaching skills/ deepen understanding of teaching
• Engage in self-reflection and evaluation
• Identify their areas of strength and weakness
• Develop specialized knowledge and skills
• Curiosity and Interest
• Expand knowledge base about research, theory, and issues in teaching
• Take on new roles and responsibilities such as supervisor, mentor teacher,
teacher researcher, or material writer
• Involvement in Professional Organizations
33. Support for teachers
The Orientation
• The needs to clarify the goal of the program, teaching approaches,
resource, problem to anticipate, and solution
Adequate Materials
• The involvement and guidelines
Course Guides
• * Course * Aims * Objectives *Materials
* Methods * Activities *Assessment
34. Division of Responsibilities
* job descriptions * clear demarcation
Further Training
* specialized training for needs
Teaching Release
* free time for refreshment
Mentors
*share problems * get advice
35. Feedback
• * face to face * in writing *on the telephone
Rewards
• * receive positive acknowledgement
Help Lines
• * who can help them solve the problems
Review
• * problem-solving * critical reflection
37. Teaching Model and Principles
Roberts (1998, 103) Compares two teaching models implicit in many
language programs:
1. Operative model:
the requirements of a centralized system
teachers deliver a textbook as planned
2. Problem-solving model:
adaption to learners’ need
teachers diagnose problems, design activity
38. Teaching Models are often based on particular Methods or Approaches
The Communicative Approach:
• * Authentic Communication Pair and Group Activities
* Negotiation * Information sharing * Fluency is priority
The Cooperative Learning Model:
• * Cooperation * Common Tasks * Coordination
The Process Approach:
• * Participation * Deferent Stages in Writing Process
The Whole-language Approach:
• * Real Communication * Authentic Texts
* Reading and Writing for pleasure
39. Teaching Models in a program may be based on Principles
A consistent focus on learning English
Practical tasks that relate to real-world used of English
Realistic and communicative uses of language
Cooperative activities
Balance between accuracy and fluency
The teachers serve as role of facilitator rather than presenter
Communicative and Skill
Learning Awareness
Self-monitoring and setting goals
40. A Teaching Philosophy
• Reflection on Self-teaching Style
• Personal Beliefs and Principles
• Interpretation of Teacher Role
Breen’s Teaching Principles are:
• * The Form of Language * Vocabulary or Meaning
• * The Usage of Language * Mental-processing Capacities
• * Familiarized and Manageable * Internalized and memorized
• * Affective Involvement * Learner’s Needs or Interests
• * Monitor for Progress * Provision for Feedback
• * Responsibility or Autonomy * Manage the lesson and the group
41. Maintaining good teaching
Maintaining good teaching involves
• the establishment of shared commitment to quality teaching and the
selection of appropriate measures
Strategies that address this issue:
Monitoring
• information need to be collected regularly
• formal , informal mechanisms such as group meetings, written reports,
classroom visits, student evaluations
42. Observation
• supervisor observation- provide positive feedback
• peer observation- share approaches
• colleague observation - problem-discovering
• self observation-recording lessons
Identification and Resolution of Problems:
• Timely Identification– Resolution ensuring
• Timely Resolution--Good Communication System
43. Shared Planning:
• Opportunities for Collaborative Planning
Ex: Pair, Group work on Course planning, material development and lesson-
planning
• During the process of planning, potential problem can be identified and resolved
44. Documentation and Sharing of Good Practices
• The Sharing of Positive Teaching Experiences
Davidson and Tesh’s Examples:
1) A presentation at a professional conference
2) A knowing at a professional conference or workshop
3) Sharing and telling current publication with colleagues
4) Sharing practical teaching strategy
5) The development of teaching materials and demonstration
6) The sharing of workable or unworkable ideas
7) The discussion with a particular or program issue
45. Self-study of the Program
• Involves a study of a program’s practices
• values as the part the process of self-evaluation and review
• A self – study should be undertaken three to five years involves teachers,
administrators, and students of examining all aspects of a school operations
(Kells 1988)
46. Evaluating teaching
An Appraisal System for Quality Teaching:
• The Reward for Good Performance
• The Needs for Further Training
• The Reinforcement with Staff Development
• The Improvement for Teaching
• The Provision for Contract Renewal and Promotion
• The Interest in Teachers’ Performance and Development
47. The Focus of Appraisal with Relevant Work
(1) Lesson Plan
(2) Teacher-made Teaching Materials
(3) Course Outlines and Handouts
(4) Class Assignments
(5) Participation in profession development activities
48. Conducting The Appraisal:
• Appraisal by a supervisor: Problems of Understanding
Appendix 4 (checklist for evaluating a teacher 'lesson from Brown 1994)
• Appraisal by a colleague: constructive feedback
(Appendix 8 peer appraisal form)
• Self – Appraisal: Less Threatening
• Lesson Report: Structured Descriptions (Appendix 6 self-evaluating of a
teacher’s lesson from Britten and O’Dwyer 1995)
• Teaching Journal: Descriptions and Reflections
• Audio/Video Recording: strengths and weaknesses
• Student Appraisal: a Sense of Teaching (Appendix 7 student appraisal form)
49. The learning process
Understanding of the Course
It is important to ensure that the learners understand the goals of the course
Brindley(1984,95) states:
• Different Expectations before class
• Consultation must be set up
• Canvass learners’ expectations
50. View of Learning
Alcorso and Kalantzis’s Findings :
Teacher and learners have different Preference
• Learner’s Learning Views:
Manager of his /her own learning
Independent Learner
Needs Analyst
Collaborator and team member
peer tutor
51. Learning styles:
Concrete Learner: games, pictures, films, video
Analytical Learner: study grammar, books, finding their own problems
Communicative Learner: observing and listening to native speakers
Authority-oriented Learner: learning from the model
A Questionnaire: to identify learners’ learning study preferences
52. Motivation
• What the learners’ motivations are for taking the course
• Why are the learners in the course?
• How will it affect their lives?
• What do they want from it?
• Which aspects of it are they most interested in?
Support
• mechanisms provided for learners for course delivery
• interface between learning and opportunities
• self-access for learning needs and interests
