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 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.

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.

Cinematography
& Camera
Techniques
The film ‘Pulp Fiction’ contains a large variety of different shots in
its opening title sequence. For example, in the diner when we see
the waitress pouring coffee it’s close up on her face to show
facial expression, however, when the two customers (the man
and woman) stand up to begin the robbery they plotted for the
diner, it changes to a medium shot to more of their body is
included to show body language. Also, a lot of the time in the title
sequence you see two shots; when there is two subjects in the
scene at once (so for example the two customers having a
conversation in one of the booths at the diner).
Often we see over the shoulder shots and POV shots when the
two main characters are having a conversation as the camera
changes positions to where each of them are sat (or behind
them) when the other one is talking so you can see it from their
perspective. This is good for the audience as it gives them a
chance to see things through the characters eyes and it could
potentially be more welcoming.
A good example of an establishing shot is the way they show the
setting in the background (American diner theme) so it lets the
audience know the basics such as: what country it’s based in and
what era it’s set in… This then allows the audience to know
where the robbery they’re plotting will take place.
There are multiple examples of change in camera angles
throughout the film opening title sequence. You will find that the
angle changes often, almost in a matter of seconds because a lot
of the time they do it from the characters point of view. Due to
the characters being sat down during this scene, the camera is
angled at a very low point to show the audience that the camera
is almost exactly where the other person is sat.

Use of tracking and zooming is shown throughout the dialogue
between the two characters. An example of tracking is when the
camera is angled at the man but is slowly moving across to the
right for a few seconds to show his face and body from a slight
different angle. An example of zooming is when the man is
plotting the robbery and the camera zooms into his face to show
his facial expression of being serious and eager.
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT
Visual Effects &
Colour Scheme
Within the opening title sequence, it’s obvious to notice that the
setting is in America due to the typical1950s theme dinner with
red booths and the way it’s all set out. Also, in the background
noise you can hear the typical diner music and games machines
and the other customers talking.
It looks as if the lighting is very natural and comes from the
window as if no artificial lighting has been used which creates a
shadow effect from the characters.
Genre Conventions
By watching the beginning of the opening title sequence you
would think that the film genre is comedy due to the characters
and the way they speak about the robberies they do as if it’s a
normal thing… Also, they kiss and talk to each other in a
hysterical over exaggerated way. As well as this their facial
expressions and body language indicate signs of comedy.
However it misleads you because as you get towards the end of
the sequence, a gun is brought out onto the table and right at the
end they threaten the diner and begin the robbery which
indicates signs of a crime/dark action/gangster/drama kind of
film.

Narrative
The opening title sequence consists of just dialogue between the
3 characters and they basically explain to you what is going to
happen within the film. Whilst the 3 characters are speaking, it is
easy to recognise that the film is based in America due to the
American accent.
Throughout the title sequence there is a series of diegetic and
non-diegetic sound: Diegetic sound is for example, the characters
voices and non-diegetic sound is for example, the music in the
background.
Editing Techniques
There were only a couple of editing techniques shown in the Pulp
Fiction opening title sequence. One of them was the use of
cutaways when the robbery is about to take place; it occurs just
before the woman stands up to threaten people.
Title Credit Design
There were no titles featured within the opening title sequence
of Pulp Fiction.
