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.

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 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.

3. URINE ANALYSIS
a) Detection of urinary glucose (Glucosuria)
o First-line screening test for diabetes
mellitus
o Normally glucose does not appear in urine
until the plasma glucose rises above 160180 mg/dl.
o In certain individuals due to low renal
threshold glucose may be present despite
normal blood glucose levels.
o Conversely renal threshold increases with
age so many diabetics may not have
Glycosuria despite high blood sugar levels.
Positive
Benedict’s test
4. URINE ANALYSIS (Contd.)
o Detection of Glucosuria- A specific and convenient
method to detect glucosuria is the paper strip
impregnated with glucose oxidase and a chromogen
system (Clinistix, Diastix), which is sensitive to as little
as 0.1% glucose in urine.
o Diastix can be directly applied to the urinary stream,
and differing color responses of the indicator strip
reflect glucose concentration.
o Benedict’s and Fehling’s test can also detect
glucosuria.
DiastixReagent strips
5. URINE ANALYSIS (Contd.)
b) Ketonuria
o Qualitative detection of
ketone bodies can be
accomplished by nitroprusside
tests (Acetest or Ketostix),
Rothera’s test etc.
oThese tests do not detect
Beta-hydroxy butyric acid,
which lacks a ketone group
o Ketone bodies may be
present in a normal subject as
a result of simple prolonged
fasting.

c) Microalbuminuria
o May be defined as an
albumin excretion rate
intermediate between
normality (2.5-25 mg/day)
and macroalbuminuria
(250mg/day).
oThe small increase in
urinary albumin excretion
is not detected by simple
albumin stick tests and
requires confirmation by
careful quantization in a
24 hr urine specimen.
7. URINE ANALYSIS (Contd.)
o The importance of microalbuminuria in the diabetic
patient is that it is a signal
of early reversible renal
damage.
o Performing an albumin-tocreatinine ratio is probably
easiest.
o Microalbuminuria is a
common finding (even at

8. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY
1) Blood Glucose Estimation
Choice of sample
• Plasma or serum from venous blood
samples has the advantage over
whole blood of providing values for
glucose that are independent of
Haemtocrit and that reflect the
glucose concentration to which body
tissues are exposed.
• Plasma and serum are more readily
measured on automated equipment,
11/7/2013
Biochemistry For Medics
they are used in most laboratories.
8
9. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY
Choice of sample (contd.)
• If serum is used or if plasma is collected from
tubes that lack an agent to block glucose
metabolism (such as fluoride), samples should be
refrigerated and separated within 1 hour after
collection.
• The glucose concentration is 10–15% higher in
plasma or serum than in whole blood because
structural components of blood cells are absent.

10. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY
Fasting blood Glucose
o Fasting blood glucose is
measured after an overnight fast
of 10 hrs.
o Fasting blood glucose estimation
is better than random blood
glucose.
o FPG < 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) is considered normal;
o FPG = 5.6–6.9 mmol/L (100–125 mg/dL) is defined as IFG;
and
o FPG >7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) warrants the diagnosis of DM.
11. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Random blood Glucose
o Random is defined as without regard to time since the
last meal.
o RBG measurement is required only during emergency.
oThe current criteria for the diagnosis of DM emphasize
that the FPG is the most reliable and convenient test for
identifying DM in asymptomatic individuals.
o A random plasma glucose concentration >11.1 mmol/L
(200 mg/dL) accompanied by classic symptoms of DM
(polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss) is sufficient for the
diagnosis of DM
12. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Glucose tolerance test
o When the fasting plasma glucose level is 126 mg/dL
or higher on more than one occasion, further
evaluation of the patient with a glucose challenge is
unnecessary.
oHowever, when fasting plasma glucose is less than
126 mg/dL in suspected cases, a standardized oral
glucose tolerance test may be done .
13. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Glucose tolerance test
Methodology
75 g of glucose dissolved in 300 mL of
water is given after an overnight fast to a
person who has been receiving at least
150–200 g of carbohydrate daily for 3 days
before the test.

b) Glycated hemoglobin (Hb1C) measurements
o HbA1c comprises 4–6% of total hemoglobin A 1.
o Since glycohemoglobins circulate within red blood
cells whose life span lasts up to 120 days, they
generally reflect the state of glycemia over the
preceding 8–12 weeks, thereby providing an
improved method of assessing diabetic control.
o Any condition that shortens erythrocyte survival
or decreases mean erythrocyte age (eg, recovery
from acute blood loss, hemolytic anemia) will falsely
lower HbA1c irrespective of the assay method used.
17. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Glycated hemoglobin (Hb1C) measurements
Methods for measuring HbA1c include electrophoresis, cationexchange chromatography, boronate affinity chromatography,
and immunoassays.

18. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
c) Serum fructosamine
estimation
oSerum fructosamine is formed by
nonenzymatic glycosylation of
serum proteins (predominantly
albumin).
oSerum albumin has a much
shorter half-life than hemoglobin,
serum fructosamine generally
reflects the state of glycemic
control for only the preceding 1–2
weeks.
19. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Serum fructosamine Estimation
o Normal values vary in relation to
the serum albumin concentration are
1.5–2.4 mmol/L when the serum
albumin level is 5 g/dL.
o When abnormal hemoglobins or
hemolytic states affect the
interpretation of glycohemoglobins
or when a narrower time frame is
required, such as for ascertaining
glycemic control at the time of
conception in a diabetic woman who
has recently become pregnant, serum
fructosamine assays offer some
advantage.

20. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Self-monitoring of blood glucose
o Capillary blood glucose
measurements performed by
patients themselves, as
outpatients, are extremely useful.
o In type 1 patients in whom
"tight" metabolic control is
attempted, they are
indispensable.
oThere are several paper strip
(glucose oxidase, glucose
dehydrogenase, or hexokinase)
methods for measuring glucose on
capillary blood samples.
A reflectance photometer
or an amperometric
system is then used to
measure the reaction
that takes place on the
reagent strip.
21. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Lipid profile
o Serum Total cholesterol is elevated
o Serum triglycerides are high
o Serum HDLc is low
o Qualitative change in LDL particles,
producing a smaller dense particle
whose membrane carries
supranormal amounts of free
cholesterol.
oThese smaller dense LDL particles
are more susceptible to oxidation,
which renders them more
atherogenic
22. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Additional Tests
o The patient should be screened for DMassociated conditions (e.g., kidney, liver and
thyroid dysfunction).
o Individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease
should be screened for asymptomatic CAD by
appropriate cardiac stress testing, when indicated.
oThe classification of the type of DM may be
facilitated by laboratory assessments.
23. BLOOD BIOCHEMISTRY(contd.)
Insulin Luminescence assay kit
C-Peptide Luminescence assay kit
Serum insulin or C-peptide measurements do not
always distinguish type 1 from type 2 DM, but a low Cpeptide level confirms a patient's need for insulin.
11/7/2013
Biochemistry For Medics
23
24. IMMUNOLOGICAL ASSAYS
o Antibodies to insulin, islet cells, or Glutamic
acid decarboxylase (GAD) can be estimated to
differentiate between the types of diabetes
mellitus
oThey are absent in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
o Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults, or
LADA, is a form of slow-onset type 1 diabetes
that occurs in middle-aged (usually white)
adults.
oIt can be differentiated from type 2 diabetes
by measuring anti-GAD65 antibodies.
25. Management of Diabetes Mellitus
The goals of therapy for type 1 or type 2 DM
are to:
(1)eliminate symptoms related to
hyperglycemia,
(2)reduce or eliminate the long-term micro
vascular and macro vascular complications
of DM, and
(3)allow the patient to achieve as normal a
lifestyle as possible.
26. Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus
o Because individuals with type 1 DM partially or
completely lack endogenous insulin production,
administration of basal, exogenous insulin is
essential for regulating glycogen breakdown,
gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, and ketogenesis.
o Likewise, insulin replacement for meals should
be appropriate for the carbohydrate intake and
promote normal glucose utilization and storage.
27. Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus
Insulin Preparations
oInsulin is indicated for type 1 diabetes as well as
for type 2 diabetic patients with insulinopenia
whose hyperglycemia does not respond to diet
therapy either alone or combined with other
hypoglycemic drugs.
oWith the development of highly purified human
insulin preparations, immunogenicity has been
markedly reduced, thereby decreasing the
incidence of insulin allergy, immune insulin
resistance, and localized lipoatrophy at the
injection site.
28. Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus
oInsulins can be classified as short-acting or long-acting
oThe short-acting preparations are regular insulin and the
rapidly acting insulin analogs .
oThey are dispensed as clear solutions at neutral pH and
contain small amounts of zinc to improve their stability and
shelf life.
oThe long-acting preparations are NPH insulin and the
long-acting insulin analogs.
oNPH insulin is dispensed as a turbid suspension at neutral
pH with protamine in phosphate buffer.
oThe long-acting insulin analogs are also dispensed as clear
solutions.
29. Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus
Mixed insulin preparations
oSince intermediate insulins require several
hours to reach adequate therapeutic levels,
their use in patients with type 1 diabetes
requires supplements of regular or rapidly
acting insulin analogs preprandially.
oFor convenience, regular or rapidly acting
insulin analogs and NPH insulin may be mixed
together in the same syringe and injected
subcutaneously in split dosage before
breakfast and supper.
30. Management of Type 1 Diabetes
Mellitus
Methods of insulin administration
1) Insulin syringes and needles-Plastic disposable
syringes are available in 1-mL, 0.5-mL, and 0.3-mL
sizes.
2) Insulin pen injector devices-Insulin pens eliminate
the need for carrying insulin vials and syringes.
3) Insulin pumps-Insulin infusion pumps are used for
subcutaneous delivery of insulin. These pumps are
small (about the size of a pager) and very easy to
program.
4) Inhaled insulin-A novel method for delivering a
pre-prandial powdered form of insulin by inhalation
(Exubera) has been approved by the FDA.

3) α-Glycosidase Inhibitors
o α -Glycosidase inhibitors (acarbose
and miglitol) reduce postprandial
hyperglycemia by delaying glucose
absorption; they do not affect
glucose utilization or insulin
secretion.
o These drugs, taken just before each
meal, reduce glucose absorption by
inhibiting the enzyme that cleaves
oligosaccharides into simple sugars
in the intestinal lumen.
o The major side effects (diarrhea,
flatulence, abdominal distention)
are related to increased delivery of
oligosaccharides to the large bowel

5) Insulin Therapy in Type 2 DM
o Insulin should be considered as the initial therapy in
type 2 DM, particularly in lean individuals or those with
severe weight loss, in individuals with underlying renal
or hepatic disease that precludes oral glucose-lowering
agents, or in individuals who are hospitalized or
acutely ill.
o Insulin therapy is ultimately required by a substantial
number of individuals with type 2 DM because of the
progressive nature of the disorder and the relative
insulin deficiency that develops in patients with longstanding diabetes.

46. Summary Of Type 1 DM
1) Diabetes mellitus type 1 (Type 1 diabetes, IDDM, or juvenile
diabetes) is a form of diabetes mellitus that results from
autoimmune destruction of insulin producing beta cells of the
pancreas.
2) The classical symptoms of Type 1 diabetes are polyuria,
polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss.
3) Type 1 diabetes is fatal unless treated with insulin.
4) Injection is the most common method of administering
insulin; insulin pumps and inhaled insulin has been available
at various times.
5) Diabetic keto acidosis is the commonest complication of
Type 1 DM.

47. Summary of Type 2 DM
1)Type 2 DM is characterized by impaired insulin secretion,
insulin resistance, excessive hepatic glucose production,
and abnormal fat metabolism.
2) While many patients with type 2 diabetes present with
increased urination and thirst, many others have an
insidious onset of hyperglycemia and are asymptomatic
initially.
3) Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) is an acute
complication of Type 2 diabetes. Chronic complications are
micro and macro vascular involving small and large blood
