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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. MOVING IMAGE For my exam project in As I chose the question on Festivals, I decided to go with the route of music festivals and was inspired by an animated music video to create an animation of my own. I chose a video from the Reading Festival in 2009 and cut it down into 24 seconds of slide animation at 15fps, this allowed a less natural flow which I felt looked more effective. I drew on each slide individually and then scanned them back into Photoshop where I put the slides together to create the final animation.
3. PHOTOGRAPHY These images were gathered for a personal project, taking photographs of the local area this winter. I am only a beginner with photography and wanted to experiment with different angles that I have not previously used, as well as developing my photo editing skills on Adobe Photoshop.
4. These are my images from my photography of architecture, these were gathered from my trip to New York City in October which I then edited in Adobe Photoshop. The ‘Grand Hotel’ was taken in Leicester to give a contrast between the buildings of the two cities.
5. DRAWINGS For my personal investigation in As level Art I chose to study comic book and graphic novel art as it is something I have great interest in. I used a variety of methods to draw the characters for my work; pen, pencil and gouache paint being the key 3 media that I worked with.
6. My A2 personal investigation was a very character based project, once again to develop my characters to create a range of styles. The marker pen resulted in a sketchy, rough look, whereas the ball point pen allowed me to include a lot more minor detail. I began to explore digital drawing on Photoshop which gave me more creative freedom of colour and tone as I was able to be more precise with my selection.
7. I began developing these techniques further and explored the effect of combining physical drawing with digital. I drew the character initially by hand and then improved and rendered the line drawing in Photoshop, once the base character was completed I then filled in the tattoo physically with coloured pencil. I used flat colours so I could compare the results with that of my detailed characters that used I various shading and highlights to create.
8. I wanted to continue developing my illustrative skills on Photoshop. I drew the piece by hand and after scanning into Photoshop I rendered it with the basic brushes found on the software.
9. TYPOGRAPHY In my As Graphic Design exam I explored typography. These were ideas for logos for the Festival I was creating, the ‘Dropdead! Festival.’ I looked into the effects of repeating text in different colours and altering positions.
10. As well as using various colours and repetition I began to compare different compositions for these logos, using a more rectangular shape than squared. All of these designs were created in Photoshop.
11. PAINTINGS My A2 Art personal investigation project was based on 20 th Century American Art Movements and began by exploring abstract artwork. Using this inspiration I created a range of abstract paintings with varying techniques, such as dripping the paint similar to the style of Pollock, and flicking the paint to create lines.
12. I continued this process further by experimenting with more techniques, such as scraping paint with a variety of materials to gain different textures. I then began to use architectural imagery within my paintings, taking inspiration from my visit to New York City.
13. GRAPHIC DESIGN These are examples of products I created for my EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) which was to create promotional materials for the music industry. The album poster was an initial response to a pre-existing band, My Chemical Romance, I captured a screen shot (top image) of a music video and then used Adobe Photoshop to create the poster. The tour poster is an original response that I created using my own photography and then editing it using Photoshop.
14. This is a magazine article that I made for my EPQ. It was created again using my own photography, in Photoshop. This was a part of a range of promotional materials that I made.
15. As Graphic Design This was for my A2 coursework project which was to create advertisement for a Mobile Phone, the phone I chose to use was the ‘Nokia Xpress Music’ and therefore used a music artist to promote the phone. I used a combination of digital and physical art to create the poster, I tool an image of Jared Leto and then edited him in Photoshop to simplify his colours and create bolder colours. For the background I scraped poster paint to give the poster a rough and edgy look, which compliments the visual of rock music.
16. Once I completed the piece I imported it into Photoshop and put the image into an advertising environment, using a variety of billboard images I collected to show a range of editing technique such as using the warp tool to create the Underground station billboard, and the eraser tool to create the one outdoor one in public view.
17. A2 Graphic Design 1 This is a digital drawing that I created for my A2 personal investigation for Graphic Design, the project was titled ‘Politics, Power and Conflict’ and I explored political cartoons used in political magazines such as The New Yorker and The Atlantic.

22. A2 Graphic Design 2 In this Graphic Design project I began to look into human rights campaigns and wanted to create one of my own. I developed the idea of a campaign called ‘Step Up’ aimed at individuals in the general public to ‘step up’ and help in the fight for human rights
23. To give the campaign a more global appeal and professional look I adopted the Amnesty International logo and described the campaign as a product from the organisation. I edited the logo to fit my campaign by creating step and having a stick man walking up them, I believe this worked well as it was simple but yet sends the message that it intends to.
24. These are 2 posters from the initial poster series I created for the campaign, I wanted a simplistic, text based bold poster and I believe that the high contrast of white, black and yellow achieves this.
25.
26. A2 Graphic Design 3 To further develop the campaign I began to target it at a specific audience, as the campaign was influenced by a song called ‘Step Up’ by ‘Enter Shikari’ I used the band to promote the campaign, thus aiming the campaign at a youth audience which will be the fans of the band

29. A2 Graphic Design 4 As the majority of my work was in conjunction with very Liberal ideology I created a poster for the conservative party to balance my project and have influence from both sides of the political scale. I had great influence from Shepard Fairey’s work when creating this poster, using his style of bold colours and harsh, straight lines.

32. A2 Art Beginning with simplistic character I developed towards my final piece for my personal investigation project. I liked the idea of using a couple for my focal point and created colourful work taking influence from my initial artist research.
33. Moving away from the colourful tone, I wanted to use a more gothic style, incorporating dark tones with selection of colour to shine through. I created a variety of characters for the different pieces. And used my own photography of buildings and graffiti from the trip to New York to give my work a personal identity.
34. I felt that my previous work was too dark and didn’t allow for the colour and characters to have a significant impact. I chose to use warm browns/yellows for my base colours as then using cold colours really contrasted and was very effective. I experimented with the idea of two canvases to split the piece. However I decided to move away from that and focus on my graffiti based art. I was influenced by grunge textures which gave the art a more gritty look. The wings of the American eagle was the influence for the angel style character, I decided to use this image as my final piece.
35. COMMISSION I created this poster as promotional material for the Professional Wrestling Company 1PW which they have used to advertise their inclusion in the Download Festival this year.
