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.

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
2. Bellringers
• There will be a bellringer (like what you did
today) every day. You are responsible for
completing them.
• I will collect the bellringers for a grade. Each day
is worth 10 points. A week = 50 points.
• If you are absent, you are still required to
complete the bellringer. Simply writing “Absent”
on your paper does not excuse you. Luckily, each
day the bellringers will be posted on the website.
3. Daily Agendas & Homework
• The daily agenda is printed on the board every
day when you walk in. Please do not ask me
what we are doing in class.
• Homework, announcements, reminders, etc.
will also be posted on the board. I may not
make an announcement in class, so get into
the habit of checking it as soon as you walk in
each day.
4. Class Rules
• TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WISH TO BE TREATED!
Show respect towards each other and adults at
all times.
• Bathroom/locker visits should be limited.
Emergencies ONLY!
• No food or drinks with the exception of water is
allowed in the classroom.
5. Class Rules
• Cell phones and iPods should be turned off or turned
to silent during class time. Any phones or iPods that
are seen or heard will be taken from students and
turned into the office. (I am very strict with this. You
will never see my cell phone; therefore, I do not want
to see yours.)
• All rules and consequences in the Cocke County High
School handbook apply in this class.
6. Am I tardy?
• A student is considered tardy if he or she is
not in their assigned seat when the tardy bell
rings.
• Students must have their bellringer started
before the tardy bell!
7. Tardy Policy
• Being tardy can result in lunch detention,
being held after class, written referral, and
loss of driving privileges.
• BE ON TIME!!
8. Cell Phone
• You are not permitted to have cell phone out
while on campus. This means even before
school, at lunch, and between classes.
• If I see a phone during class, I will take it!
• Don’t lose your phone; keep it off and out of
sight during the school day.
9. Group Work & Seating Chart
• Students are required to work with their peers in
this class.
• Group work is to be completed in a professional
and courteous manner. All members should be in
charge of an equal amount of work.
• Sit in assigned seat daily!
• Seats will be changed periodically.
• I do NOT want to hear complaints about where
your assigned seat is.
10.
11. Silent Sustained Reading (SSR)
• Once a week you will be required to read
silently during class. This will count as a
participation grade and is required. If you do
not bring a book to class, you can “rent” a
book from me. You will need to trade me
something valuable, and I will give you a book,
not allow you to pick one out.
• Moral of the story: BRING A BOOK ON SSR
DAYS!
12. SSR continued
• We will be going to the library on Friday, 1/6/12 for 30
minutes during class. If you have a library fine or other
reason why you cannot check out a book, it is your
responsibility to clear it before Friday. Otherwise, you
will need to supply your own book.
• SSR will be announced ahead of time, but you should
always be prepared with a book just in case. SSR will
usually follow a quiz or a test, but that does not mean
it always will!
• Next week, SSR will follow the vocabulary quiz on
Wednesday.
13. Topic Journals
• Required writing and commenting on other
entries for 15 minutes.
• 25 journals each with a unique topic. Students
write in them and then switch the next week.
• Expect this about once a week.
• We will discuss these further, based on
behavior. If you show me you can act in a
mature manner, then we will add these to our
regularly scheduled programming.
14. Extra Credit?
• Before you ask, the answer is no. This is
outlined on your syllabus.
• Lost your copy of the assignment given in
class? I don’t have extra copies so don’t ask.
This is also outlined in your syllabus.
• Remember, you are responsible for your work.
Even if you lose it, you are still held
accountable.
15. Grades
• EVERY grade in this class is posted online. To see
your grades, I need your email address. Be sure
to write your email legibly on your Student
Information Sheet.
• www.TeacherEase.com will send you an email
with your username (email address) and a
password. KEEP THIS!
• On an index card, write your first and last name,
email address (if you have one) and block. Pass
them up to the front.
16. Class Website
• Zagaeskienglish.weebly.com
• This has EVERYTHING you need for this class.
• If you are absent, assignments, worksheets, and
handouts are all posted.
• You are responsible for keeping up to date with
your assignments; I will not track you down.
• Do not ask to go check the website during class
time. Time before and after school should be
utilized for this purpose. You’ve already missed a
day, why should I send you to miss more class
time?
17. Homework
• Review the syllabus for a short quiz tomorrow.
• Have Student Information Sheet completely
filled out and signed by parents/guardians.
This is a grade tomorrow!
