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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. How did you use new media
technologies in the construction and
research, planning and evaluation
stages
By Anastasia Molot
2. Internet applications
* Scribd - to upload Word documents on my blog and be able to embed them.
* Slideshare - to upload the PowerPoint Presentations on my blog and be able to embed them.
* Blogger - I have been posted all my work using the website blogger.com
* Survey monkey - i have been using the website surveymonkey to get some audience research for
the
* YouTube - i used YouTube to post my music videos (the final one and not finished version to
show the progress on my blog. Also, I have used it to watch the music videos I have been
analysing and how-to videos for different programs
3. Internet applications
* Wikipedia - I have used Wikipedia for the majority of my
research, such as the information about singles, albums of
partucular artists and some information about the music
videos. Also, about the record studios to find out which one
has produced which song.
* Facebook - ive used to advertise my audience research
survey on survey monkey and to get more feedback about my
music video.
*Prezi - I have used Prezi a lot to create interactive
presentations.
4. Adobe Photoshop CS6
*Photoshop - I have learnt a lot about the
program when editing the digipaks material.
Before I had a knowledge of it, however, it was
based on retouching and editing portraits. i
have never really done anything related to the
digipaks and posters before. So it was all
quite new for me. We had a graphic designer
coming into school to show us many things we
can do with Photoshop. He has taught me,for
example, how to use other programs, such as
Alchemy together with Photoshop, how to use
tools such as transformation and recording the
actions to repeat them several times (actions).
And generally I have improved my knowledge and
interest in the program. I also have watched
few how-to videos on YouTube. I have created a
presentation about how I have created some of
the images for the digipaks and booklet.
5. Fonts
I have learnt how to
download and install
new fonts which was
very useful, since we
used different gothic
fonts from the Internet
for the digipak.
6. The mechanical butterfly
The booklet pages for the song "mechanical animals was the most difficult thing I
have ever done in Photoshop. It was transformed from a picture of a rock using
the transformation and distortion tools. I recorded it in "actions"and then
repeated it to make easier, since it was transformed far too many times. Then the
final mushroom-looking detail was copied and created a shape of a butterfly wing.
I have created one side of it, and then copied it and flip horizontally so that
the two sides are symmetrical.
Then I created 4 wings and took a head from my drawing. In the final version I
have desaturated it, reversed the colours and out on the black background so it
fits with the gothic theme and colour scheme.
11. Final Cut Pro X
* FCPX - as always, I have
learnt a lot about this
program. We have used it as the
main and only video editing
software for this project. It
was used to cut the shots,
apply the filters, change the
colours, and edit everything at
all. I have learnt how to
change the opacity of the shot
so it is possible to create the
effect similar to overlay
blending mode in Photoshop.
12. Use of FCPX
We have used many effects for
creating different looks in
FCPX, for example the effect
similar to overlay in
Photoshop. To do that we used
an effect "Luma Keyer", which
apparently by itself brings
the opacity down so the lower
video becomes visible. We
also brought the opacity down
to achieve this look
13. Use of FCPX - stabilisation
Some of the shots were originally
very shaky, especially the outside
shots, which we have filmed hand
held.
We have used stabilization tools in
FCPX to make it less obvious. The
shots became blurry in some parts,
which actually created a very
interesting effect which we kept,
since it fits with the atmosphere of
the video.
14. FCPX Forum
On the Inetrnet I have found a Final Cut Pro X
Froum, where I have registered and asked
people questions when I did not know how to
achieve a certain look for my video. For
example, I did not know how to use the motion
blur and they helped me. Also, I found many
useful links to great free effects on it, so
it was very useful. I've received good
detailed answers on my questions.
15. Motion
* Motion - Motion was the most complicated program
to use since I was not familiar with it at all, even
the interface. I have watched a several how-to
videos on YouTube to at least get myself familiar
with an interface and what the program does. Since I
wanted to get the motion blur effect I have asked on
the Final Cut Pro forum about how I achieve it and
they explained that I have to use Motion. So that
was the main reason I have got this program and used
it, it was very effective and if I had a better
knowledge of it I would definitely use it more.
16. Cameras
* Cameras - I have been using
Canon 600D to film our
coursework. During the summer I
have practiced to make a music
video to make sure I do not
repeat the same mistakes as I
have done last year in the A2
coursework.For the behind the
scenes pictures we have used
the disposable camera, which
was a good experience.
17. use of camera
We have used the camera to create some of the effects during the production. For
example, we have used manual focus to make sure the shots were focused, because of
the lack of the light deficiency in some shots. But also, we have used it to film
out of focus shots, or the changing focus effect. They worked very effectively and
created very dynamic shots.
For the digipak we have used the low shutter speed (around 10-30 seconds) to
create the images with the motion blur effect. We used 2 of them - for the inside
cover of the digipak and the front cover. They work very effective and contribute
to the mysterious atmosphere of our project.
18. Alchemy
We have used Alchemy to create vector
images for the backgrounds of some of
our images. We found it very effective
and easy to use. We were very satisfied
with an outcome, which looks like a
professional vector image.
