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

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. An Overview of the Computer System
What is a Computer?
A computer is an electronic device used to process
data.
A computer can convert data into information that is
useful to people.
A complete computer system includes four distinct
parts:
Hardware
Software
Data
User
3. 3
A computer is an electronic machine that can be programmed to accept
data (input), process it into useful information (output), and store it in a
storage media for future use
System Unit
What is a Computer?
5. Basic Terminology
Input
Whatever is put into a computer system.
Data
Refers to the symbols that represent facts, objects, or ideas.
Information
The results of the computer storing data as bits and bytes; the words,
numbers, sounds, and graphics.
Output
Consists of the processing results produced by a computer.
Processing
Manipulation of the data in many ways.
Memory
Area of the computer that temporarily holds data waiting to be
processed, stored, or output.
Storage
Area of the computer that holds data on a permanent basis when it is
not immediately needed for processing.
7. Hardware
Hardware
Includes the electronic and mechanical devices
that process the data; refers to the computer as
well as peripheral devices.
A computer's hardware consists of electronic
devices; the parts we can see and touch.
The term "device" refers to any piece of
hardware used by the computer, such as a
keyboard, monitor, modem, mouse, etc.
9. Software
Software
A computer program that tells the computer
how to perform particular tasks.
Software – also called programs – consists of
organized sets of instructions for controlling the
computer.
Some programs exist for the computer's use, to help it
manage its own tasks and devices.
Other programs exist for the user, and enable the
computer to perform tasks for you, such as creating
documents.
11. Users
People are the computer's operators, or
users.
Some types of computers can operate without
much intervention from people, but personal
computers are designed specifically for use
by people.
14. Classification of computer depending on signal /
nature of I/O
Computers can also be divided into three
categories depending upon their instruction
and form of input data that they accept and
process. These are:
Analog Computers
Digital Computers
Hybrid Computers
15. Analog Computers
The word “Analog” means continuously
varying in quantity.
The analog computers accept input data in
continuous form and output is obtained in the
form of graphs.
These computers accept input and give
output in the form of analog signals. The
output is measured on a scale.
These are used in industrial units to control
various processes and also used in different
fields of engineering
17. Digital Computers
The word “Digital” means discrete. It refers to binary
system, which consists of only two digits, i.e. 0 and 1.
Digital data consists of binary data represented by
OFF (low) and ON (high) electrical pulses. These
pulses are increased and decreased in discontinuous
form rather than in continuous form.
The main features of the computers are:
Give accurate result.
Having high speed of data processing.
Can store large amount of data.
Easy of program and are general purpose in use.
Consume low energy.
18. Hybrid Computers
The hybrid computers have best features of both
analog and digital computers.
These computers contain both the digital and analog
components. In hybrid computers, the users can
process both the continuous (analog) and discrete
(digital) data.
These are special purpose computers. These are
very fast and accurate.
These are used in scientific fields. In hospitals, these
are used to watch patient’s health condition in ICU
(Intensive Care Unit). These are also used in
telemetry, spaceships, missiles etc.
21. Types of Computers on the basis of size and
capacity
Supercomputers
Mainframe Computers
Minicomputers
Workstations
Microcomputers,
or Personal Computers
Wearable computer
22. Supercomputers are the most
powerful computers. They are
used for problems requiring
complex calculations.
Because of their size and
expense, supercomputers are
relatively rare.
Supercomputers are used by
universities, government
agencies, and large businesses
Typical uses
Breaking codes
Modeling weather
systems
Supercomputers
23. "FLOPS" (FLoating Point Operations Per
Second), commonly used with an SI prefix
such as tera-, combined into the shorthand
"TFLOPS" (1012 FLOPS, pronounced
teraflops),
or peta-, combined into the shorthand
"PFLOPS" (1015 FLOPS, pronounced
petaflops.)
24. Mainframe Computers
Occupies specially wired, air-conditioned rooms
Capable of great processing speeds and data
storage
Not as powerful as supercomputers
Page 11
25. Mainframe
Large expensive
computer capable of
simultaneously
processing data for
hundreds or thousands
of users.
Used to store, manage,
and process large
amounts of data that
need to be reliable,
secure, and centralized.
Usually housed in a
closet sized cabinet.
26. Minicomputers
Known as midrange computers
Used by medium-size companies
Used by departments of large companies
Minicomputers are smaller than mainframes but larger than
microcomputers.
Minicomputers usually have multiple terminals.
Minicomputers may be used as network servers and
Internet servers.
Page 11
28. Microcomputer
A personal computer;
designed to meet the
computer needs of an
individual.
Provides access to a
wide variety of
computing applications,
such as word
processing, photo
editing, e-mail, and
internet.
29. Four Types of Microcomputers
Desktop
Notebook or laptop
Tablet PC
Handheld
Desktop Notebook
Tablet PCHandheld
Page 11
30. 1.Desktop Microcomputer
A microcomputer that
fits on a desk and runs
on power from an
electrical wall outlet.
The CPU can be
housed in either a
vertical or a horizontal
case.
Has separate
components (keyboard,
mouse, etc.) that are
each plugged into the
computer.
31. 2.Laptop Computer
A portable, compact
computer that can run
on an electrical wall
outlet or a battery unit.
All components
(keyboard, mouse, etc.)
are in one compact unit.
Usually more expensive
than a comparable
desktop.
Sometimes called a
Notebook.
32. 3.Tablet PC
Is a type of notebook computer that
accepts your handwriting. This input is
digitized and converted to standard text
that can be further processed by
programs such as a word processor.
Page 11
33. 4.Handheld
Also called a PDA (Personal
Digital Assistant).
A computer that fits into a
pocket, runs on batteries,
and is used while holding the
unit in your hand.
Typically used as an
appointment book, address
book, calculator, and
notepad.
Can be synchronized with a
personal microcomputer as a
backup.
34. Handheld
Are the smallest and are also known as
palm computers. These systems typically
combine pen input, writing recognition,
personal organizational tools, and
communications capabilities.
Page 11
36. Workstation
Powerful desktop computer designed for specialized
tasks.
Can tackle tasks that require a lot of processing
speed.
Can also be an ordinary personal computer attached
to a LAN (local area network).
Workstations are powerful single-user computers.
Workstations are used for tasks that require a great
deal of number-crunching power, such as product
design and computer animation.
Workstations are often used as network and Internet
servers.
38. Wearable computer
Wearable computers are computers that are
worn on the body.
This type of wearable technology has been
used in behavioral modeling, health
monitoring systems, information technologies
and media development.
Wearable computers are especially useful for
applications that require computational
support while the user's hands, voice, eyes,
arms or attention are actively engaged with
the physical environment.
41. Types of Computers on the basis of purpose
General purpose
Special purpose
42. General Purpose Computers
General-purpose computers are designed to
solve a large variety of problems. That is they
can be given different programmes to solve
different types of problems.
General-purpose computers can process
business data as readily as they process
complex mathematical formulas. General-
purpose computers can store large amount of
data and the programmes necessary to
process them.
Because general-purpose computers are so
versatile, most businesses today use them.
Most digital computers are general computers
and it is mainly such computers that are used
in business and commercial data processing.
43. Special Purpose Computers
Special purpose computers are designed to solve a
specific problems; the computer programme for
solving the problem is built right into the computer.
Special purpose computers have many features of
general-purpose computers but are designed to
handle specific problems and are not applied to other
computerized activities.
For example, special purpose computers may be
designed to process only numeric data or to
completely control automated manufacturing
processes. Moat analogue computers are special
purpose computers.
44. Server
Purpose is to “serve.”
A computer that has the
purpose of supplying its
users with data; usually
through the use of a
LAN (local area
network).
45. •designed to support a computer network that allows you to share
files, application software, hardware, such as printers and other
network resources.
•Mainframes, personal computers can be used as a server.
•Server computers usually have following characteristics:
•Designed to be connected to one or more networks
