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.

2. Christmas in Brazil
• One tradition is to create a nativity scene or Presépio. The word origins
from the Hebrew word "presepium" which means the bed of straw upon
which Jesus first slept in Bethlehem. The Presépio is common in
northeastern Brazil (Bahia, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba,
Maranhão, Ceará, Pernambuco, Piauí and Alagoas). The Presépio was
introduced in the 17th centuryby a Franciscan friar named Gaspar de
Santo Agostinho.
• Papai Noel (Father Noel) is the gift-bringer in Brazil. According to legend,
he lives in Greenland. When he arrives in Brazil, he usually wears silk
clothing due to the summer heat.
• A huge Christmas dinner, unusual in the hot summertime, includes turkey,
ham, colored rice, and wonderful vegetable and fruit dishes.

3. Christmas in Greece
• Christmas trees are not commonly used in Greece. In almost every home the main
symbol of the season is a shallow wooden bowl with a piece of wire is suspended across
the rim; from that hangs a sprig of basil wrapped around a wooden cross. A small
amount of water is kept in the bowl to keep the basil alive and fresh. Once a day, a
family member, usually the mother, dips the cross and basil into some holy water and
uses it to sprinkle water in each room of the house. This ritual is believed to keep the
Killantzaroi away from the house.
• There are a number of beliefs connected with the Killantzaroi, which are a species of
goblins or sprites who appear only during the 12-day period from Christmas to the
Epiphany (January 6). These creatures are believed to emerge from the center of the
earth and to slip into people's house through the chimney. More mischievous than
actually evil, the Killantzaroi do things like extinguish fires, ride astride people's backs,
braid horses' tails, and sour the milk. To further repel the undesirable sprites, the
hearth is kept burning day and night throughout the twelve days.
• Gifts are exchanged on St. Basil's Day (January 1). On this day the "renewal of waters"
also takes place, a ritual in which all water jugs in the house are emptied and refilled
with new "St. Basil's Water." The ceremony is often accompanied by offerings to the
naiads, spirits of springs.
4. Christmas in Spain
• Christmas Eve is known as Nochebuena or "the Good Night." It is a time
for family members to gather together to rejoice and feast around the
Nativity scenes that are present in nearly every home. A traditional
Christmas treat is turron, a kind of almond candy.
• December 28 is the feast of the Holy Innocents. Young boys of a town or
village light bonfires and one of them acts as the mayor who orders
townspeople to perform civic chores such as sweeping the streets. Refusal
to comply results in fines which are used to pay for the celebration.
• As in many European countries, the children of Spain receive gifts on the
feast of the Epiphany. The Magi are particularly revered in Spain. It is
believed that they travel through the countryside reenacting their journey
to Bethlehem every year at this time. Children leave their shoes on the
windowsills and fill them with straw, carrots, and barley or the horses of
the Wise Men. Their favorite is Balthazar who rides a donkey and is the
one believed to leave the gifts.
