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.

2. Language Exam
• 2nd June 2015
• Unit 1 reading
• Unit 2 writing
• Each exam makes up 30% of your total
language grade.
3. An important issue is how you
use your time
• Here is a guide to the timing:
• 5 mins – read and annotate the questions and skim
read the two articles – you should highlight the
topic sentences as you go through the article.
• Write the question numbers on the extracts.
• 5 mins – read the first article and annotate the
quotations you will use in your answer
• 10 mins – answer question 1
• Follow this format for the following 3 questions – aim
for about 10 mins per question.
4. Understanding Questions
• You need to recognise question key
words
• “What” questions are “search and find”
questions. They are the easiest type
and need you to find information in the
text and explain. For higher marks you
need to use evidence and show
inference.
• “How” questions require a mixture of
language analysis and exploration of
techniques used by the writer.
5. Tricky questions
• “Why” questions can be search and find
• – e.g – Explain why Charles Starmer-Smith thinks cycling is a popular
and enjoyable activity. [10]
• This question tests the ability to read with insight and engagement, to
make appropriate references to texts and to sustain an
interpretation.
• Or inference questions
• e.g-According to the magazine article, why do people watch reality
TV programmes? [10]
• This question tests knowledge and understanding of text and use of
inference. It also tests appreciation of language.
• Give 8-10 marks, according to quality, to those who select
appropriate material from the text to reach a well-considered and
detailed response. The best answers should be thorough as well as
perceptive, covering a range of points with insight and accuracy.
These answers should be cohesive and coherent, making clear
inferences.
6. Tricky
• Sometimes a question will ask “what” and
“how”
• This question tests the ability to select material
appropriate to purpose and explain and
evaluate how writers use linguistic,
grammatical and structural features to
achieve effects.
• You must comment on what they are saying
then comment on specific language features
– read between the lines and infer…
7. Understanding Questions
• Question 4 asks you to “COMPARE
AND CONTRAST”
You will need a bank of comparative
connectives to answer this question.
11. Literature
• Unit 1 - 18th May 2015
• 2 hours
• 1 hour Of Mice and Men ( 1 extract
question and 1 whole text question)
• 1 hour Unseen poetry
12. Of Mice and Men
• Extract question (20 minutes)
• Usually asks about mood and atmosphere or what we learn
about a character or the relationship between characters
1. Begin by contextualising the extract - where is it from in the
novel? What happens before and after? How does it link to
other events?
2. Then analyse language – pick quotations and analyse in
detail – embed short quotations and link your analysis to the
question. Consider the writers purpose.
3. Use quotations from throughout the extract – track changes
in mood and atmosphere or character –
4. End by commenting on the end of the extract and suggest
how your final quotation links to (or foreshadows) later
events.
13. Of Mice and Men
• Whole text question
• You must link your answer to historical context.
The Great Depression
The American Dream
Representation of women
Migrant workers
Industry and its effect on agriculture
Racism
Disability
Old age
14. Whole text questions
• There is usually a choice between a
character/relationships question and a theme
question.
• Theme is generally the one to go for if you are
aiming for A or A* (although you can still gain
a high grade on the character question if you
link into themes and context and show a
confident knowledge of the whole text)
• Consider and evaluate the writers purpose
and context throughout your response and
ensure you stay focused on the question.
15.
16. Unseen poetry
• The question is always the same.
Write about the poem and its effect on you.
• You may wish to include some or all of these
points:
• the poem’s content – what it is about;
• the ideas the poet may have wanted us to
think about;
• the mood or atmosphere of the poem;
• how they are written – words or phrases you
find interesting, the way the poem is structured
or organised, and so on;
• your response to the poem. [20]
Use the bullet points to help you plan and structure your response
17. To get a D you must:
• Show understanding of the main meaning of the poem
• Use PEE but only repeat quote in explanation
• Re-tell the story
• Spot poetic techniques but don’t explain the effects
• Make obvious connections between the poems
To get a C / B you must:
• Show understanding of the subtext
• Start to have your own opinions about the poem’s meaning
• Use PEE and explain your quote and evaluate your points
• Have a structured answer
• Explain the effects of poetic techniques on the reader through
language, structure and form
• Make clear and thoughtful links between the poems
To get an A/A* you must:
• Be confident in your own interpretation of the poem and its
subtext
• Use PEE confidently, using one word embedded quotes with a
well structured answer
• Evaluate the effects of language structure and form and discuss
why the poet may have chosen them
• Make original links between the poems
