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.

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.

Link here: https://youtu.be/Fjo20qYsXqc
I found access to this video from Youtube
4. The type of video it is? How it makes that
type?
The type of video it is Promotion of key ideological messages and Values and
Internal communication.
How this video applies to these types; It is promoting the new Microsoft logo and
what buildings that it is going on and they show you the process of how they
made it happen.
This video is a internal communication video because it promotes the company
within the Microsoft organization. As in the video they talk to the people who help
to run Microsoft.
5. What is it for? Who is it for?
It is to show off the new logo and the rebranding of the Nokia theatre at the AEG
L.A. Live.
They are also promoting the new logo to the public. Which will help them gain
more local business and become more notice by the general public.
6. Target audience and how they are
represented?
The Target Audience is aimed at a more adult/ those who are interested in the
business community.
The ethnicities that is shown within the video are White and Asian Males. This is
because of the area that is filmed at and the type of business they get in that area.
Through out the video you see more males that females. When you see them they
are either building or being interviewed for the video.
7. Cinematography
The Lighting within this video is natural and artificial, as it is filmed during the day outside but also at night which
would be artificial lighting because otherwise it would be too dark to see anything. When the interviews and the
process of when the sign is being made are being shot, they use artificial lighting as they are based in a building.
Some of the shots within the video are time lapsed to show parts that may of been a slow process but is shown
sped up.
The shot types in this video are Mid, Close up and wide . Most of the close up shots are shown on when the signs
are being put up onto the building. The mid shots happen when the people within are getting interviewed. You
can also see the wide shot they do the time lapsed and when they fly up in the helicopter filming the location and
the Microsoft logo on top of the building.
The camera movement: there is are panning shot showing location and when the signs are getting placed and the
movement also follows the sign getting put up. There is a lot of circles movements when filming from the
helicopter to show the whole building and the surrounding area. Most of the other shots are still as they are
focused on one object or person.
There is a few parts when the camera is looking up towards what is being filmed and there are a few bird eye view
shots when within in the helicopter to try and show off how big the new signs are and the logo that is on the roof.
8. Editing, length and pace
The editing cuts some shots quite quickly compared to some of the others. This helps
make the video feel like it is moving at a fast pace to show off what they are creating
and trying to promote within L.A.
The interviews are shown for a few second then it cuts to voice overs from the
interviews.
The video duration is 3:49 this is enough time to put the rebranding of the theatre. In
this time they show the process of the signs being creating from computers to the big
signs that get shown from the building. They also mention the permission they had to
get to place them on the buildings.
The didn’t show a shot for too long which did help move the video along but they felt
a bit too quick for you as you didn’t have time to focus on what they as showing.
9. Music and sound
The music they use is a quite a fast pace but helps build up a bit the next shot and
what is going to happen next.
The music sound like it has trumpets, drums, flutes and violins.
When someone is talking the music goes quiet so you can hear what the people
are talking.
Near the middle it feels like it does pick up a bit as it helps create a story of
process.
