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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

COURSE GOALS & LEARNING OUTCOMES
English 102 is an introductory composition course designed to improve your skills in persuasive, expository writing—the
sort you will be doing in other courses in college and in many jobs. Sometimes this kind of writing is called transactional
writing; it is used to transact something: persuade and inform a reasonably well-educated audience; evaluate, review, or
explain a complex process, procedure, or event.
By the end of the course, you should be able to...
1. Use rhetorically appropriate strategies to evaluate, represent, and respond to ideas and the research of others.
2. Adopt strategies and genres appropriate to the rhetorical situation.
3. Use inquiry-based strategies to conduct research that explores multiple and diverse ideas and perspectives,
appropriate to the rhetorical context.
4. Address readers’ biases and assumptions with well-developed evidence-based reasoning.
5. Use flexible writing process strategies to generate, develop, revise, edit, and proofread texts.
6. Compose arguments that meets college-level expectations for academic compositions.
7. Read, interpret, and communicate key concepts in writing and rhetoric.

NOTE ON ONLINE LEARNING. Taking an online writing class takes a lot of self-discipline, organization, and time. To be
successful in this online class, you'll need to dedicate about 8-10 hours per week to English 102. You'll use this time to
read from the textbook; watch videos and read from online sources; participate in discussion boards with your peers;
complete homework assignments designed to guide you through the development of major essays; read and respond to
emails and course announcements; and draft, revise, edit, and proofread your work.
This is not an independent study course; you will need to keep up with the assigned deadlines and work to create a
schedule that will allow you to meet them. Remember: the work in this class is designed to build to a large project—you
will not be able to do all the work in a single day. I suggest that you set aside regular times throughout the week to work
on English 102. Consider scheduling two hours per day, Monday-Friday, to focus on this course.
REQUIRED TEXTBOOK
The Vandal Field Guide to Writing, a custom textbook published by Norton. The textbook is available through the Vandal
Store. Purchasing the textbook comes with free access to the ebook.

COURSE WEBSITE
All work will be submitted through the course BbLearn site unless otherwise stated. All assignment sheets and other
course materials will also be posted on the BbLearn site. Log on into BbLearn (http://bblearn.uidaho.edu) using your
University of Idaho NetID and password, and locate “English 102-41.”
COURSE POLICIES
REQUIRED TECHNOLOGY. You must have word processing software that allows you to save (and open) documents as
.doc, .docx, or .pdf files. Feedback will be given using BbLearn’s inline grading software, and documents submitted in
other file formats make providing feedback on your work difficult, inefficient, and sometimes impossible. As a full-time
University of Idaho student, you can download Microsoft software including Word at no cost. More information is
available in the ITS Tech Support Portal: https://support.uidaho.edu/TDClient/40/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=89.
We will only be using Zoom for one-on-one meetings (“Office Hours”). If you have not yet done so, you will need to
download Zoom on your device when/if you would like to meet one-on-one during the semester. More information is
available in the ITS Tech Support Portal: https://support.uidaho.edu/TDClient/40/Portal/Requests/ServiceDet?ID=629.
EMAIL ETIQUETTE. I welcome your emails and questions. If you have questions about the course, your work, due dates,
etc., please do not hesitate to contact me at the address listed above or on the BbLearn home page. When you contact
me, please treat it as a professional correspondence—your message should have a greeting, be written in complete
sentences, and signed with your name at the bottom. Generally, you can expect a response within 24 hours during regular
business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM).
DEADLINES. The due dates for all assignments are posted in each module on BbLearn. All work is due by 11:59 PM on the
day/date indicated on Bblearn. Assignments may be accepted late if prior arrangements are made 48 hours in advance of
deadline, when an extension may be granted. Late assignments without an approved extension will lose half a letter grade
(or the equivalent number of points) per day late.
**If, when I start to grade your work, 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 your work correctly in Bblearn, but a late work penalty may apply. To avoid this problem,
verify your submission.
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 URLs work. This means you must return to the
submission 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.
ORIGINAL WRITING. All work for this class must be written for this section of English 102. Reusing an assignment you
completed in a previous semester, for a different class, or back in high school, constitutes academic dishonesty.
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY. Academic dishonesty, including inappropriate collaboration, will not be tolerated in this course.
There are severe sanctions for cheating, plagiarizing, and any other form of dishonesty to include suspension or expulsion
from the UI. Please read the document labeled “Statement on Plagiarism” on our BbLearn site for more information on
plagiarism.
3. ENGL 102 Syllabus Spring 2021, pg. 3
THE PUBLIC NATURE OF CLASS WRITING AND DISCUSSION. Please consider every piece of writing you do for this class to
be “public property.” Part of becoming a good writer is learning to appreciate the ideas and criticisms of others, and in
this course our purpose is to come together as a writing community. Remember that you will often be expected to share
your writing with others, so avoid writing about things that you may not be prepared to subject to public scrutiny, or
things that you feel so strongly about that you are unwilling to listen to perspectives other than your own. This does not
mean that you are not entitled to an opinion, but that you adopt positions responsibly, contemplating the possible effect
on others.
I am a mandatory reporter. If you disclose anything about sexual harassment or misconduct, I am required by law to
report it to the Office of Civil Rights and Investigations. This includes information shared in writing (emails, essays,
homework, etc.) or verbally (in class, office hours, etc.).
