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.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason

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.

2. What is the difference between…
Literal
and
Figurative
language?
3. » The actual, dictionary meaning of a word;
language that means what it appears to mean
» Avoiding exaggeration, metaphor, or
embellishment
» Conforming to the most obvious meaning of a
word, phrase, sentence, or story
4. It means exactly what it says! Word for word.
Example One: The Philippines is a small country.
What does it mean? Exactly what it says!
Example Two: The weather is beautiful today.
What does it mean? Exactly what it says!
5. » Language that goes beyond the normal
meaning of the words used
» Based on or making use of figures of speech;
metaphorical
» Represented by a figure or symbol
6. Figure it out! There’s a deeper meaning hidden in
the words.
Example:
“Fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.”
- Hada Bejar
Does it mean you have a smelly hand? NO!
What does it mean? Giving to others is gracious and the
good feeling of giving stays with you.
8. There are various ways of using words
figuratively. Among them the most common
are:
1. Simile: It is a comparison between two
distinctly different things and the
comparison is indicated by the word as or
like:
» O my love’s like a red, red rose.
» The old man’s hair is as white as snow.
9. 2. Metaphor: the use of a word which
originally denotes one thing to refer to
another with a similar quality. The
comparison is implied, not expressed
with the word as or like.
» He is the soul of the team.
» My son’s friend is a bad apple.
10. 3. Personification: it is to treat a thing or
an idea as if it were human or had
human qualities.
» The door protested as it opened slowly.
» The fire ran wild.
11. 4. Metonymy: it is substituting the name
of one thing for that of another with
which it is closely associated.
» The crown is kind and humble.
» Lend me your ears.
» Adobo is my favorite dish.
12. 5. Synecdoche: It is applied when a part
is substituted for the whole or the
whole is substituted for a part.
» Man cannot live by bread alone.
» Many wheels have passed already.
» The hired hands are hardworking.
13. 6. Apostrophe: It is a direct address either
to an absent person or to a nonhuman
entity.
» O Solitude! Where are the charms that
sages have seen in thy face?
» "Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own."
14. 7. Hyperbole: Exaggeration is used for
emphasis or effect.
» Here is the smell of blood still; all the
perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this
little hand.
» Give me a thousand kisses, then a
hundred,
Then another thousand, then a second
hundred, Then still another thousand,
then a hundred
15. 8. Euphemism: It is the substitution of a
mild or vague expression for a harsh or
unpleasant one.
» The former president passed away.
(died)
» I appreciate the hard work of
sanitation workers. (garbage
collectors)
16. 9. Irony: It is the use of words which are
clearly opposite to what is meant, in
order to achieve a special effect.
» It’s a nice, pleasant sort of weather
indeed.
» Imelda Marcos was once a frugal first
lady.
17. 10. Antithesis: It is a rhetorical term for
the juxtaposition of contrasting ideas in
balanced phrases or clauses.
» Many are called, but few are chosen.
» Don't use big words. They mean so
little.
18. 11. Onomatopoeia: It is the use of words
that imitate the sounds associated with
the objects or actions they refer to.
» "Chug, chug, chug. Puff, puff, puff. Ding-
dong, ding-dong. The little train rumbled
over the tracks.“
» "Brrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinng! An alarm clock
clanged in the dark and silent room."
19. 12. Litotes: It is an understatement. The words
play down the magnitude or value of the
subject.
She was not without ambition. (She was quite
ambitious)
I was not a little upset. (when you mean 'I was
very upset’)
20. 13. Paradox: A statement which seems to
contradict itself but which contains a deeper
truth. Paradoxes are similar to oxymorons,
but where an oxymoron puts opposite words
together, a paradox puts opposite ideas
together.
» The child is father of the man.
» Cowards die many times before their death.
21. 14. Oxymoron: Apparently contradictory
terms are combined to produce a
special effect.
» She had bitter-sweet memories with
her boyfriend.
» The boy performed the experiment
with careful carelessness.
22. 15. Alliteration: refers to the appearance
of the same initial consonant sound in
two or more words, such as:
» Pat Peter is proud as a peacock.
» If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled
peppers, how many pickled peppers did
Peter Piper pick?
23. 16. Assonance: It is the repetition of
identical or similar vowel sounds in
neighboring words.
» "If I bleat when I speak it's because I
just got . . . fleeced.“
» The man was so happy to have his
bagpack.
24. 17. Allusion: A figure of speech that makes a
reference to a place, person, or something that
happened. This can be real or imaginary and
may refer to anything, including paintings,
opera, folk lore, mythical figures, or religious
manuscripts. The reference can be direct or
may be inferred, and can broaden the reader’s
understanding.
» He was a real Romeo with the ladies.
» This place is like a Garden of Eden.”
25. Name the figure of speech used in each of the
following sentences:
1. Life is a dream.
2. When I enter the room, there is a defeaning
silence.
3. Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale.
