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.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

4. Use your communication
board.
Find a partner
Select a book or do any other activity you can
think of.
One person will be the “non-speaking student”
(using the communication board she made) and
the other will be a “speaking adult.” Use the
communication board to interact as you do the
activity.
After 5 minutes you’ll switch places.
Have fun!
6. Core Vocabulary
“Words and messages that are:
1. Commonly used
2. By a variety of individuals and
3. Occur very frequently.”
Which means you can talk to practically anyone about
practically anything using core words…
if you have enough of them!
Core vocabularies need to grow with the individual.

11. How many words to start
with?
Sometimes less is more….
BUT--
12. Most of the time,
MORE is MORE.
So start with
MORE words.
13. Why start with lots of words?
It’s what your parents did!
If you start with only “more” and “all done” you
can model three language functions:
requesting, acceptance, rejection.
If we only see and hear what we already know,
how do we learn?
Many AAC users have severely impaired
receptive language.
They need visual or multisensory cues to help
them understand speech.
More about that later….
14. How many words to start
with?
More than the student
currently uses.
As many as she can access
visually and physically.
If there are too many, reduce
the number.
15. How to tell if there are too
many words:
If the student’s visual attention is better with
smaller displays.
E.g., he looks away, pushes away the core word
page
If his messages appear random across activities
with a variety of communication partners.
If he doesn’t attempt to access the large core
word page but does use simpler displays.
17. Some Modeling Strategies:
Use natural gestures and facial expressions that
the student can imitate—looking at nearby
objects, making eye contact, nodding, pointing—
to supplement the message.
Select words telegraphically
I, want, go, out
While speaking naturally
I want to go outside
When speaking and listening, be aware of
multiple meanings, e.g. “wet” can mean:
I’m wet, wipe my chin, it’s raining, something
spilled, etc.
Expand on the user’s message: “Uh-oh! Your
tray is all wet! Let’s clean that up” while pointing
to the core words.
18. To make the most of limited “real estate”
indicate the word or the picture, past or future.

etc.
TouchChat—the MultiChat vocabulary sets contain a
page of core words that can be expanded modified to fit
the user. Includes a good “dictionary” of nouns, verbs,

26. Core vocabulary in
communication books.
Keep the core words available on every page:
Use the left page for core and the right for
category/activity specific items.
Have one core page with little flip pages at the
top for category and activity based vocabulary.

song, describe a favorite book or movie, or a
sentence describing your favorite TV show.

Start with a lot of empty buttons.
When you enlarge the vocabulary, the original words stay in the same location.
About 178 words, 204 items including the keyboard. A clear example of how literacy expands communication efficiency.
If you need to make the buttons larger, you can put a keyboard button on the front and a keyboard on the back.
