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.

5. Writing a Set of Lyrics
Some key terms:
Rhyming Scheme
Syllables
A rhyming scheme is the order in which the lyricist orders the lines.
Rhyming words help the piece become more memorable.
If all the lines have the same number of syllables (more or less!) then the
lyrics will be more successfull.
6. Popular Rhyming
Schemes
ABAB
This was never the way I
planned,
Not my intention.
I got so brave, drink in hand,
Lost my attention.
AABB
So no-one told you life was
going to be this way,
Your job’s a joke, you’re
broke, your love lifes D.O.A.
It’s like you’re always stuck
in second gear
When It hasn’t been your
day, your week, your
month or even your year.
AAAA
Well in five years time we
could be walking around a
zoo.
With the sun shining down
over me and you
And they’ll be love in the
bodies of the elephants too.
I’ll put my hands over your
eyes, but you’ll peep
through.
AABAAB
I can’t win, I can’t reign.
I will never win this game,
Without you, Without you.
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same,
Without you, Without you.
7. How to write a set of lyrics – Step by step...
Choose your theme
Decide in detail what the ‘story’ of your song will be and use it to
structure the content of the verse/chorus.
[Remember: The chorus tells us the main point, the verse fills in the detail]
Write out a list of key words related to your theme and then find a rhyme
for each of them.
You can now start using these to develop the lines of your song.
10. Writing Your Own Set of Lyrics
Lyric-writing can be hard,
and they can sound very silly
when you look at them on
the page, especially if you
are trying to write about
love or something similar...
However, just think of the
many terrible lyrics that
have been written, and how
famous they have become...
11. Examples of
Cringeworthy
Lyrics That
Became
Popular...
‘And I was like baby, baby, baby oh, and baby, baby,
baby oh! Like Baby, baby baby oh, you said you’d
always be mine.’
[Justin Bieber,
Baby]
It’s Friday, Friday, getting down on Friday, everybody's
looking forward to the weekend, weekend.’
[Rebecca Black,
Friday]
‘They call me girl, they call me Stacey. They call me
her, they call me Jane. That’s not my name. That’s
not my name. That’s not my name. That’s not my
name.’
[The Ting Tings, ‘That’s
not my name’]
12. More Bad
Examples...
‘Coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just fine. Gotta
Gotta be down because I want it all’
[The Killers, ‘Mr
Brightside’]
‘Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as
through they’re here to stay, Oh I believe in yesterday.’
[The Beatles –
Yesterday]
‘Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands
are cold. And I’m on my knees looking for the answer, are we
human, or are we dancer?
[The Killers –
Human]
‘What’s that coming over the hill, is it a monster? Is it a
monster?
[The Automatic –
Monster]
13. Task: Writing a Chorus

Ensure that you complete all the preparation
tasks – especially if you are not very confident.
If you do complete your chorus and are feeling

14. Some suggestions for opening lines...
‘That man’s/girl’s no good for me.’
‘How can I survive without you in my life’
‘The world’s at war, yet it’s this we ignore’
