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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
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.

Location:
The location of many hip hop artists are within
their hometown, where they grew up, in which is
usually ghetto. They like to show what they have
come from and usually stay very close to their
roots because they all believe that the area they
grew up in made them as a person and got them
to where they are today. The area shows the
artists history, background and the struggle they
went through to get to where they are today.
Culture
The hip hop/rap has originated itself from jazz,
blues and gospel music. Now these are all
music genres that, back in the day, mainly
black people took interest in. This is why you
see so many hip hop artists and fans they like
rap. Also the lyrics depict the struggle for
young people who live in he ghetto so it would
explain the age of people who listen to rap.
Style
Throughout magazines that cover hip hop music,
they all have a reoccurring theme for their music
magazine titles. Every issue their masthead is in
the same place with the same colours and text.
This helps create a style and gives the magazine
a brand identity so over time people will know
what magazine it is because the title of it will be
the same very week. This also helps the customers
find the magazine a lot easier.
Music Topics
This genre of music is seen for its gang culture,
sex and de-moralisation of women by
showcasing them as sex objects. The artists also
rap about fast cars, being rich and killing or
threating to kill people with their guns.
3. Dr Dre ft Snoop Dogg ‘Still D.R.E’
This is a music video which proves some of the codes and conventions I mentioned earlier about rap music. The video has clear
conventions such as the stylish cars that are made to show off what the driver has, you can see that most of the male artists in the
video are rappers because of their costume, for example Snoop Dogg wears a chain around his neck and a baggy t-shirt and
joggers. These are to show of being wealthy and cool, basic costume that an artist has to match the stereotypical look of a rapper.
In addition to this, in the codes and conventions of this music genre, women are seen more sexualised, as you can see in this music
video, the women are wearing revealing costume that shows of some of their feminine features. Plus most of the frames in the video
completely cut off the head of the female so that the audience are forced to look at their breasts.
4. Codes and Conventions in other
music and regular magazines
All modern magazines, whether it’s a music or just regular magazine, all have the main following codes and conventions. There is
always one main image that takes up the whole cover and usually has the main feature of the article. Magazine front covers vary with medium
close ups or mid shots and will always directly address the audience. The masthead will have its own unique font which is only one or two words.
The masthead is also always the biggest text on the front cover of magazines because they want to have a brand identity that the audience will
get familiar with. This means that the masthead is always at the top or in the left hand corner because in our culture we read from the left across.
In addition to this the price of the issue is usually on the barcode hidden away from the audience.
Puffs are also featured in magazines, however not all magazines, the more bubbly, fun and informal types of magazine will feature these as they
look a bit tacky but offer something else with the magazine such as free giveaways.
Buzz words are usually with the main feature article, used to attract attention, eg; EXCLUSIVE, FREE, PLUS. Once again this is a common theme in a
magazine.
Cover line's are also used in some magazines, mainly music magazines to promote an artist. These lines of text on the front cover are designed to
attract the audience’s attention and make them pick the magazine up.
A strip is sometimes used in magazines across the top or bottom containing lists of items which feature in the magazine. This conveys the
magazine is full of interesting stories and the audience is getting value for money.
Colour is the main convention in every magazine, it is the biggest feature and will make or break a magazine. The magazine has to have a small
amount, but effective use of colour and have a distinctive design. The colours should match and go well together otherwise it won’t be nice fro
the target audience to view.
5. Codes and Conventions in my Magazine
I hope to achieve most of the codes and conventions in my own rap music
magazine. My front cover will have an the artist at a mid-close up shot with a
specific costume that will help the audience become aware of what genre of
music magazine it is. The artist will also be central with text on either side and the
masthead behind his head. The masthead will also be the biggest text and the
boldest so the audience will see this first. The costume of my artist will follow the
codes and conventions of an old school rapper; hoodie, baggy bottoms, chain
around the neck, bandana and trainers. All of his costume will be black
because it is a more masculine colour and fits well with the codes and
conventions of rap music.
