This document outlines an overview of reading comprehension strategies presented by Dr. Christine Ybarra. It discusses the four main comprehension strategies of predicting, clarifying, questioning, and summarizing. For each strategy, it provides explanations of what the strategy is, why it is important to teach, examples of how to teach it with teacher and student roles, and language prompts to use. It emphasizes explicitly teaching the strategies through modeling, providing guided practice and feedback, and gradually releasing responsibility to students. The purpose is to help students actively engage with texts to improve comprehension.
This slide presentation explains the problems and solutions of EFL / ESL reading classes. You can also find the theories of reading and reading skills in accordance with the Common Reference Levels.

explore effective strategies for teaching close reading of complex texts, a central focus of the ELA Common Core State Standards.
The process for engaging students in the close reading of complex texts
To discover the importance of setting a clear purpose and recognizing text structure
To gain methods for having students re-read the text and annotate it in order to examine key vocabulary, structure, language, and meaning
How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

Classify strategies by their effectiveness in whole
and small group instruction
3. What is Comprehension
The process during which students
Clarify words, sentences, or paragraphs they do
not understand
Generate questions about any element found in
text
Use clues in the text to predict what will happen
