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.

Technical Writing is both a field of study and a profession with a unique history and set of
distinctive practices. It is also the writing done by professionals in other careers. So, whether
you have an interest in becoming a technical writer or are preparing to write in another
career, in today's workplace, you will craft messages using ever changing and increasingly
integrated media. The projects in this course will help you meet these challenges.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After completing this course, you will be able to
• translate discipline-specific discourse to meet the needs of audiences with lower levels
of technical expertise,
• articulate the affordances and constraints of technologies to stakeholders,
• apply rhetorical constructs to produce the visual and verbal design of communication,

All page length and word count guidelines below are based on single-spaced, left-justified text (no
indent) for paragraphs with an extra line of space to separate paragraphs and includes the use of
heading levels and white space.
Please keep in mind that page length and word count guidelines are not a valid way to determine
how long a project will take you to complete in this course because the work you will do is workplace
writing, and it is different from academic essay writing.
PROJECT 1: Technical Prose and Presentation Speaking Style. In this project, you will analyze
some of your prior writing to determine the level of readability and create a podcast.
• Memo Report write-up of findings from the analysis, about 4-6 pages.
• Podcast about research at the University of Idaho, up to 3 minutes.
PROJECT 2: Technical Definitions and Technical Descriptions. In this project, you will
compose technical documentation (a type of planning document), and a slidecast of a
technical definition or a technical description. Your goal will be to translate dense technical
information to a lay audience.
• Technical Documentation, about 350-500 words.
• Slidecast Technical Definition OR Technical Description, up to 3 minutes.
PROJECT 3: Data Visualization. In this project, you will create a mixed-chart infographic that
visualizes a statistical data story. Next, you will compose a screencast to justify design
choices.
• Mixed Chart Infographic.
• Screencast justifying design choices, up to 3 minutes.
PROJECT 4: Usability Test. In this project, you will test two communication products or
websites based on five components of usability, collecting both quantitative and qualitative
data. Next you will write-up your findings in a technical white paper describing your
experience as a user and compose a screencast of one or more usability test findings.
• Technical White Paper write-up of test findings. Length will vary greatly depending on size of
screenshots but about 2000 -2500 words.
• Screencast of a usability test finding, up to 3 minutes.
PROJECT 5: Professional Identity. In this project, you will compose targeted job or graduate
program application materials and compose an e-portfolio.

Course Policies
1. Hybrid Course. This section of technical writing is a hybrid course. This means you will
meet with me in a classroom once each week and complete other work online. The work
you complete online includes short assignments designed to help you compose project
deliverables and participation in discussion forums, including online peer reviews.
2. Technology Requirements.
• Computer in good working order.
• Reliable Internet Connectivity.
• Microphone. Most computers have an integrated microphone, but if you need to
purchase one, however, here are two inexpensive microphones that bblearn
recommends: Logitech 1 ($14.99) and Logitech 2 ($19.99).
• Reliable Backup. You will need a reliable backup to store the latest drafts of your
work other than the hard drive of your computer or an easily lost thumb drive.
Here is one I recommend http://www.dropbox.com
• Microsoft Word. Students are strongly encouraged to use Microsoft Word because it is
the most commonly used software in the workplace today. Microsoft Office is provided at
no extra cost to all students and as part of the UI Microsoft Licensing Agreement. You can
install it on up to five separate devices. To install, to ITS Technology Services
https://www.uidaho.edu/infrastructure/its/self-help/ms-office/office-365
3. Multimedia Project Deliverables. Four of the projects require both print
and multimedia deliverables. Students are not expected to have prior experience in
producing multimedia products and will be invited to create these using free, cloud-
computing tools. All digital files are required to be on a host site and play without a
user needing to download the file because you are practicing how to share media as
it is shared in workplace environments.
4. Accepted File Formats. The following are the only accepted file formats:
•Print Deliverables: Word or PDF.
•Infographic: jpg, png, or other image file; Word, PPT or PPTX, PDF file or the URL
where the file is hosted.
•Multimedia Deliverables URL where the file is hosted. Digital media files (MP3, MP4,
etc.) are not accepted in this course.
5. Deadlines. All work is due by 11:59 PM on the day/date indicated in the project
schedules. Late work will lose half a letter grade (or the equivalent number of points) per
day late.
When I start to grade your work, if a file will not open or a URL link does not work, I will
notify you by email, and you will be given 24 hours to submit work correctly in bblearn
and a late work point penalty will apply. To avoid this problem, verify your submission.
6. Verify Submissions to Avoid Point Penalties. When submitting assignments, students are
responsible for verifying that files they uploaded are not corrupted and will open and that
the URL to the audio-essay works.
4. ENGL 317: HYBRID SYLLABUS Page 4 of 4
This means you must return to the submissions box and open any files you uploaded and
check that a URL works. If your work does not submit correctly or if you failed to submit
part of it, you will need to submit all work again in a single attempt because the last
submission is the only one I grade.
7. Compress Files Over 1 MB. Your work will lose points if the file you submit is over 1 MB
because large files slow down my ability to grade work. You will find free tools to
compress files posted to each project drop box.
8. University Disability Support Services. Reasonable accommodations will be made for
students with disabilities. Disability Support Services must approve your request: (208)
885-6307• dss@uidaho.edu
9. Plagiarism. Violation of the University of Idaho Student Code of Conduct for Plagiarism
will result in a course grade of ‘F'.
10.Contacting Me. You are invited to email me when you have a question or to request a
writing conference or feedback on a draft through email. You may expect a reply within
24 hours.
