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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

A new discussion topic is posted on Monday of each new chapter. Discussions are 20% of your final

CLASS ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes as part of the normal learning process. In addition, students
must be especially consistent in attendance, both on-ground and online, during the first two weeks of
the semester to confirm registration and to be listed on the official course roster. Students who fail to
follow this procedure and who have not received prior approval from the instructor for absences will
be withdrawn from the courses in question by certification of the instructor on the official class lists.
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission also requires attendance as a “demonstration of academic
progress toward a degree” as one criterion for retaining financial aid awards. (2013-2014
Undergraduate Catalog, p. 35). As noted above, I consider Discussion Boards to be your attendance.
4. ACADEMIC HONESTY
Scholastic integrity lies at the heart of Lewis University. Plagiarism, collusion and other forms of
cheating or scholastic dishonesty are incompatible with the principles of the University. Students
engaging in such activities are subject to loss of credit and expulsion from the University. Cases
involving academic dishonesty are initially considered and determined at the instructor level. If the
student is not satisfied with the instructor’s explanation, the student may appeal at the
department/program level. Appeal of the department /program decision must be made to the Dean
of the college/school. The Dean reviews the appeal and makes the final decision in all cases except
those in which suspension or expulsion is recommended, and in these cases the Provost makes the
final decision.
CLASSROOM DECORUM
In order to maintain an environment conducive to learning and student development, it is expected
that classroom discourse is respectful and non-disruptive. The primary responsibility for managing
the classroom environment rests with the faculty. Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful
acts that result in disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty member to leave class for the
remainder of the class period. Students considered to be a disruption or who present a threat of
potential harm to self or others may be referred for action to the Dean of Student Services. (2012-
2013 Student Handbook, p. 15).
