The Dictionary is particularly designed to meet various demands of the Ukrainian learners who are about to take popular international exams in English such as: FCE, CAE, CPE, TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, Pearson and others. The bilingual nature of the Dictionary will also help Ukrainian learners to pass their final English exams at school and get ready for the following External Independent Assessment.
New learning spaces and new ways of workingAntonia Yiu
This session explores the changing needs for university learning spaces, brought about by major curriculum reform, changing student preferences, technological developments and recent research into student learning. Examples of new learning places and their impact on ways of working will be discussed.
Reflecting upon our experiences of learning academic writing, we will introduce some useful resources which can help both native speakers and learners of English develop an academic tone and style indispensable to scholarly writing. The resources to be reviewed in this presentation include non-digital and digital materials such as phrasebanks and corpora.
There are two groups of users whose needs have been carefully considered and for whom dictionaries have been specifically tailored:

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.

2. Introducing the audience and leading them to
the power of Corpus Linguistics
Aim
3. What is Corpus?

Foreword
4. Find Corpora on Yahoo!
http://tw.search.yahoo.com/search?fr=fp-tab-web-
t&ei=UTF-8&p=corpus
Example:
The Corpus of Contemporary American English
(COCA) is the largest freely-available corpus of
English, and the only large and balanced corpus of
American English. The corpus was created by Mark
Davies of Brigham Young University, and it is used by
tens of thousands of users every month
(linguists, teachers, translators, and other researchers).
COCA is also related to other large corpora that we
have created.

5. […] corpus linguistics is a whole system of
methods and principles of how to apply
corpora in language studies and
teaching/learning, it certainly has a theoretical
status. Yet theoretical status is not theory in
itself…
(McEnery et al. 2006: 7f.)
What is Corpus Linguistics?
6. In this presentation, I will use the most
updated corpus, Corpus of Global Web-based
ENGLISH (GloWbE)
The Corpus of Global Web-based English
(GloWbE) http://corpus2.byu.edu/glowbe/
that is developed on the corpus2 website
involves 20 varieties of English.
To taste the GloWbE
7. Familiaritiy towards the names of the following selected
universities:
1. The Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK)
2. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU)
3. City University of Hong Kong (CityU)
4. Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU)
5. Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA)
6. The Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd)
7. The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)
8. The University of Hong Kong (HKU)
9. Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)
10. The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology
(HKUST)
N.B. stress on OUHK
10 selected Hong Kong
“universities”
8. I would type the abbreviation of the
universities’ names one by one in searching, to
find out which university’s name is mentioned
the most amongst varieties of English (or
Englishes) around the world.
Methods
9. Analysis and Evaluation
It is found that, the world “status” (occurrences
in the GloWbE corpus) of the University of
Hong Kong is the highest; while the one of the
Hong Kong Shue Yan University is the lowest.
10. 1. HKU 2. CUHK 3. HKUST 4. PolyU 5. CityU 6. OUHK 7. HKIEd 8. HKBU 9. HKAPA 10. SYU
1124 640 590 341 164 161 78 65 28 14
In addition, the following table shows all the ten selected Hong Kong
institutions’ word frequency*, the order is as follows:
Above Column represents the words, or word types (and 1=highest frequency;
10=lowest frequency.)
Below Column represents the number of occurrences in GloWbE corpus
11. It is surprising that in the world of the GloWbE
corpus, the OUHK has a higher ranking than
the HKBU and the HKIEd, although it is
generally agreed that the academic status of
OUHK is lower than the two tertiary
institutions (e.g., in http://www.4icu.org/hk/,
see figure below, sort by 2013 university web
ranking according to 4icu.org: in terms of
general facilities and academic support, the
OUHK does not provide more enough than the
HKBU and the HKIEd.)
12. However, it may also be interpreted that the OUHK’s
promotion of the open learning, especially during the
2012-13 has been done better than the ones of the two
universities (i.e. HKBU and HKIEd), so more people
can receive its education by the OUHK through online
and the people know its name and mention more of its
name, hence the occurrence of its name in the corpus is
higher than the HKBU and HKIEd (however I did not
have a peek into each word types’ KWIC, Key Word in
Context precisely so the results may not be completely
accurate that in actual case there could be other things
not referring to the selected universities are encoded, or
there may be other names encoded to represent the
HKBU and the HKIEd.)
The GloWbE corpus is released in April, 2013, and it is a 2012-2013 corpus. (http://corpus.byu.edu/)
N.B. in the whole process of data collecting, I did not use any wildcards, and any use of tag set is not involved.
13. there is definitely the room for potential
scholars to research on the most mentioned
name of universities in Hong Kong in each
variety of Englishes, creating an extra
dimension into the research;
In the future,
14. the researchers can conduct research on the
most mentioned name of world universities in
English, further increasing one more probable
dimension.
