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.

3. Why teach it?
The web is full of information that may
or may not be true. Seeing is believing?
Anyone, of any age, experience,
qualification and learning can upload
information.
While web address extensions might
give you some assurance, these cannot
always be taken at face value.
4. Why teach it?(cont.)
Sometimes, information is copied from one
website to another, without being checked or
verified.
This can lead to the ‘fact’ being accepted as
true, because it’s on so many sites.
An example of this is the myth that ‘people
swallow up to 8 spiders a year’.
Go check the facts behind this here:

how do I know that they’re relevant or real?
why has no-one else listed them?
Black Hat: what are the weaknesses of this site? Check for:
