Effective communication is all about conveying your messages to other people clearly and unambiguously. It's also about receiving information that others are sending to you, with as little distortion as possible.
Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages muddled by the sender, or misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity.

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.

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.

Hi everyone! Thanks for joining me today.
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Sophie, I’m an in-house English teacher here at Return on Intelligence.
The subject of today’s webinar is Effective Communication in English, and we are mostly going to focus on communication in business.
This subject seems to be very relevant and important for my students as I get a lot of questions on how to communicate with customers and colleagues, how to deal with difficult situations and so on.
So I hope that this webinar will be useful for you.
We’ll mostly be focusing on spoken communication in this webinar. If you are interested in written communication, take a look at our earlier webinar, English for Emails.
Here is the agenda of today’s webinar.
[Go over the items]
There will be time at the end of the webinar for you to ask questions, so if you have any questions please keep them until then.
As usual, I have tried to make the webinar interactive, so there will be some tasks for you to do, and then we’ll look at the answers together.
You will be able to write your answers in the chat box, so I will see them.
How can I improve my speaking skills? My students often ask me this question. Here are a few very general tips.
Learners often say “I know lots of English words, but I have a problem putting them together or remembering them when I speak.”
The first ‘secret’ is to learn sentences and phrases, not just words.
We speak in sentences, and most of the time we are not really very creative when we speak.
Memorising whole phrases often used in a certain context will help you very much.
Here are a few examples.
Also, using fixed phrases gives you time to think while speaking.
Another tip is to relax while you are speaking.
Don’t worry so much about the mistakes you might make.
After all, the most important goal is communication itself.
You will find that when you are relaxed you speak a lot better and more fluently that when you’re nervous.
So take a deep breath, smile, maybe make a little joke to ‘break the ice’.
Thirdly, don’t forget to listen to your opponent.
Remember that communication is a two-way process.
Try to understand what the other person or other people are trying to say, and what they expect from you in this conversation.
Remember to ask questions, clarify, reformulate and summarise what the other person is saying.
Try to adjust your speech to the speech of the person you are speaking with, this is very important for effective communication.
Finally, don’t forget that speaking is a practical skill and the only way to learn it and to improve it is by a lot of practice.
Use every opportunity to speak English (in your English lessons, with friends, in skype, or when you are abroad)
Remember the saying USE IT OR LOSE IT. If you stop speaking a foreign language, you’ll lose the skill very quickly.
In business, people use different communication channels.
Here are a few. Which channel do you prefer and why? Type your answers in the chat box.
As I said earlier, in this webinar we’ll be mostly talking about speaking, not writing, so it will be mostly applicable to the first three channels here.
In this section of our webinar, we’ll take a look at discussions.
These can happen, for example, in meetings.
Some of the most common phrases that you’ll need in discussions are asking for and expressing opinions, agreeing and disagreeing.
Another thing that often happens during discussions or meetings, is interruptions.
Most people don’t like being interrupted, so if you really have to do it you need to do it politely and tactfully.
There are some fixed phrases that you can learn and use for that. Just make sure that you only interrupt someone when it’s really necessary.
It’s a good idea to apologise if you’re interrupting someone.
Or you can ask permission to interrupt.
It is also useful to know some expressions that can help if someone is interrupting and you don’t want to be interrupted.
Remember that you should try to remain polite, but be firm if necessary.
Let’s move on.
Sometimes you are faced with a difficult question.
This can be very stressful if you have to answer in real time.
Here are some phrases you can use to stall for time.
While you are saying this phrase, you have a few seconds to think about the answer.
If you can not answer the question straight away, use these phrases to take a time-out.
If you want to communicate effectively, it is, of course, very important to be polite.
Politeness is about keeping good relations with your listener or reader.
Politeness is used to show the listener or reader that you value and respect them;
and to change or soften what you say so as not to be too direct or forceful.
In English, to be polite, we use both structure and vocabulary.
How do we use Structure to make our sentences more polite?
Using the past tense
Using the future continuous
Using questions for requests, suggestions etc
Using ‘would’ and the 2nd conditional
Also remember about your vocabulary, that means the words that you use.
Avoid using vocabulary that’s too Negative
Here are some phrases you can use to express criticism politely
The words ‘need’ and ‘want’ could also sound a bit too direct, so here is how you can soften your message.
When you are giving some bad news, or saying something
which is not what your listener expects or wants to hear,
you can use these three expressions to soften your message.
The word ‘NO’ - when you answer someone’s question - can also sound very negative.
To avoid this, you can use these phrases instead of the word ‘NO’.
One thing that language learners often overlook when they speak a foreign language is INTONATION.
Using the wrong intonation could be a big problem. Sometimes WHAT you say is not so important as HOW you say it.
In the next part of our webinar we’ll talk about Reaching mutual understanding.
Are you saying…?
And finally, a few words about resolving conflict.
This is a huge topic, so I’ll just give you a few useful expressions for such situations.
Here is some advice for resolving conflicts.
This will be your last interactive task in today’s webinar.
Take a look at these sentences and write the missing words in the chat box.
You have the number of letters for each word and for some of them you have the first letter to help you guess.
