This document discusses Mark Haddon's novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and its use of an inadequate narrator. It provides background on Haddon and an overview of the novel, which tells the story through the first-person perspective of Christopher Boone, a teenager with autism. Christopher is an example of an inadequate narrator, meaning he is limited by his language and struggles to understand emotions and social situations, though he is not intentionally unreliable. The document contrasts inadequate and unreliable narrators and examines how Haddon's choice of narrator provides insight into the mind of someone who is mentally challenged.

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.

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.

Mark Haddon was born in Northampton, England, in 1962. He studied at Oxford University, and later in life completed his masters in English Literature at Edinburgh University.
His first children’s book, Gilbert’s Gobstopper, was published in 1987, leading up to his phenomenally successful youth novel, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime, published in 2003.
In an interview for his then newly-released novel, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime, Haddon said this now well-known passage:
Haddon’s youth novel took him to “best seller status,” with the story receiving praise and critical acclaim from all corners of the globe. The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-time was one of the first novels to be published for both children and adults alike, opting for different covers to cater to the different audiences.
The novel is narrated by Christopher John Francis Boone, a fifteen year old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome, or what Ian McEwan describes as an “emotionally dissociated mind.” Christopher relates well to animals, but has no understanding of human emotion. He also detests the colour yellow.
The novel is narrated by Christopher through a diary or journal-like sequencing
The chapters are numbered in prime numbers, as Christopher enjoys maths and knows every prime number up to 7,057
Haddon, through Christopher incorporates diagrams into the novel, such as diagrams used by Christopher’s therapist, Siobhan, and maps of the stars
A common question asked by writers and editors alike is this: Should you even try?
Yes, you should.
In this short piece, I have written from the perspective of a man: a man in love with a woman. Personally, I am not a man, nor have I been in love with a woman.
The characters in the story live where I have never lived before, experiencing life the way I have not.
To write the other, one must delve deep into the minds of her characters, and to research, profusely, since those characters are far different to herself.
