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.

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.

Evaluation question 5 - AS Media Studies Evalution
1.
2. How Does Your Thriller Hold the
Audiences Attention?
Our thriller holds our audiences attention in many
ways. An example of some of these ways are
because of the use of conventional thriller techniques
that were used in our film such as:
McGuffin
Red Herring
Suspense
Cliff Hanger
Plot
Antagonist
Setting
Hero/Main Character
3. Here are examples of each of these techniques that we have used
in our film in order to grab audiences attention:
We did in fact use a McGuffin in our thriller. A McGuffin is something that the people in the film care a lot about that the
audience isn't really too focused on. The McGuffin in our finished thriller is the young woman's handbag as we see
that there is clearly something very important in this handbag that the mugger may want as he even takes the USB
out of it and lugs it into a laptop to look for something on the usb. However it isn't exactly what the audience is
focusing on the first time they watch it, they are more focused on whether the dog is going to catch him and what is
ultimately going to happen/ what he will achieve from this.
Another thriller technique that we used in our thriller is a Red Herring. A red herring is something that the audience is
tricked into thinking will happen when really something entirely different is going to happen. an example of this in
our thriller is the fact of the mugger. By this I mean that the mugger stole the bag and got into her car so the
audience assume that he is in fact the antagonist in all of this and overall the bad guy when really right at the end
we see that the bad guys was actually the helpless young woman after all as we see the mugger get brutally
strangles by an assassin that we suspect she hired at the end of the film.
Our thriller also contains a few extracts of suspense, a few examples of this are the dog chase scenes where we see the
dog chasing the mugger. This builds tension In the viewer as they are constantly thinking “is he going to get away
from the dog or is the dog going to catch him!?” Another example of suspense building in out film is that of the
muggers death scene in the car. This is because it drags on for a good 15 seconds with lot of struggling going on
to kill the mugger, this is constantly making us question whether he is actually going to die or do something
amazing to put the switch on the assassin?
There is also a cliff hanger at the very end of our film. A cliffhanger is something that happens at the end of a clip that
makes you question what is going to happen next? Therefore almost forcing you to watch the next episode in order
to find out what will happen next. Our example of this is right at the end of the film where we hear Alex say down
her phone “ye….its done” this happened right after the muggers death scene and this is in fact what makes us
question “did she do it?” “was she the one that planned this all along!?” therefore making the audience question
what will happen and watching more to see if they were right, this is part of why people will want to watch the rest of
our film.
4. Plot: The plot in a thriller is one of the main aspects
on what makes the thriller good or bad. The plot is
basically the storyline, without an effective
storyline/plot the audience will begin to get frustrated
with the fact that their favorite show/film doesn’t make
sense which will drive audiences away. The plot in
our film follows an easy to follow line; mugger steals
girls bag for important object inside bag, girls dog
chases mugger, mugger gets in victims car and
hooks up important object to her laptop, mugger sees
his face on “hit list” in laptop, gets killed by assassin
in the back of the car, victim turn out to be antagonist
the entire time.
Antagonist: An antagonist in a film is basically the
villain/ enemy of the main character, the one who
makes everything go wrong for who we think is the
main character. In our case we have a female
antagonist which is unusual for the thriller genre as
females are normally used as sidekicks of some kind
to the main villains. Another special feature about the
antagonist in our film is the fact that at the start of the
film she is indeed the victim, it is a lot twist we see at
the end that tells us that she has in fact been the
antagonist the entire time.
Setting: the setting of the thriller must be appropriate
for the type of thriller in which it is, for example a
police thriller would not be set in a jungle as it does
not makes sense to the plot. This is Why we made
sure that our thriller has the appropriate setting of a
public park because it is a secluded setting for
someone to get jumped in our film as well as the fact
that where else would you walk a dog?
5. Our Audience Feedback
We did two audience feedbacks on our film, one being on the rough cut of the film we had and
one being on the final finished product.
For the rough cut there were already quite a lot of mistakes in the film that we were aware of and
knew that we were going to go back and change them anyway, Our target audience picked
up on some of these faults in the film for example, we broke the 180 degree rule on one of
the running scenes without realizing it when we were filming the film. As well as this the
majority of the faults were to do with the continuity editing of the film, this is because at the
end scene (”the car scene”) there were a lot of point in the replay of the film where we left
certain doors open to put the camera for a shot and forgot to close them so in between
scenes the doors are constantly switching between open and closed without any of the
characters even touching them. However other than these faults they stated that they liked
the film “especially the fact that you managed to get a dog in the film without it acting up, it
worked really well!”. The storyline was also a factor on something we needed to fix on the
film as well as we accidentally missed out a few key scenes that without them the story line
does not make sense. But we corrected this when we re recorded this scene for the final
cut.
As for the audience review of the final cut of our film, we asked two random people form our
class who have never seen our film before questions on what they thought of our film and
the different aspects of it. Both responses were near enough the same, they enjoyed the
film and the fact that we managed to get a dog a good leading role in the film and got it to
stay controlled on the set. As well as the fact that the story line unfolded very well and they
liked the twist at the end. And finally they thought we did the cinematic shots in the
beginning of the film and for the chase scenes very very well, taking special note of how
much they enjoyed the mono pod shot at the beginning.
