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.

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.
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.

1. 5. How did you attract and
address your audience?
2. As all models featured within my magazine were
intentionally kept within the target audience age range of
16-24, this makes those featured inside Original relevant
to my target audience, allowing it to attract and address
the intended audience.
In terms of design, I decided on employing a basic and
simplistic page design due to the relaxed nature of the
indie genre music magazine and to appeal to target
audience effectively and seem less overwhelming at the
first glance, preventing the audience being put off buying
a copy.
3. The Image/ appearance of my featured artist conforms
to the typical indie male artist in industry and would
attract fans of the genre to develop an interest. As
Jack Wolf is captured on most of the images as
looking directly into the camera, this seems more
personal and creates an unreal bond with the
audience. As a result of the engaging images, some
would feel the need to read on as the product as a
whole appears attractive and eye catching.
4. The female featured on contents page conforms to
Marjorie Ferguson’s male gaze theory which is
appropriate to the target audience age range as boys
within this would be known to have lots of interest in
females; despite not having an inappropriate body
parts on display in the images featured, the elegance
and vintage style of the woman would appear
attractive and eye catching on the page.
5. When displayed on shelves in store, the masthead and image would be the
conventions initially noticed by the audience/passers-by and would have a
level of importance on attracting the audience. The masthead adopts a
simplistic, stylish format through the boldness of the text being black and
contrasting with the white background of the cover page. The front cover
page is made to appear more professional and attractive as I ensured I
remained within the red, white and black colour scheme to tie in with colours
incorporated into design of the male’s bright floral shirt. The masthead would
be noticeable through its central alignment at the top of the page in bold.
The font used (Tennessee SF in size 88 ) is bold, edgy, and clearly readable
which enables strengthened branding and avoids misinterpretation among
the audience. As the front cover does not give too much away about the
contents of Original magazine, this would interest the audience and
encourage them to want to read on as they would want to find out more about
the reasoning for use of conventions on cover page. Readers can develop
brand recognition the masthead remaining exactly the same in style on every
issue published and the magazine itself as stylish, vintage and edgy.
6. Due to the bold and chunkiness of the font used for the masthead on the
front cover of my media product, the print media is made to stand out on
store shelves against other magazines and make a statement- attracting
the audience’s attention and potentially leading to a seal as a result.
Examples of pre-existing magazines mentioned previously (Clash, Dazed
and Confused, etc.) have target audiences which overlap with my chosen
range; Clash is targeted at 18-35 year olds, I feel this is very broad and
while this broad ness does have its advantages (more potential revenue), I
do not feel it is a necessary audience for Original as fashion and events are
strong and continuous themes linked with the indie genre of music which
are more suited to a younger audience. As well as this, audiences aged
outside of the target market for Original may have difficulty understanding
the creativity and stylishness behind the layout of pages I produced as I
have taken a more modern twist on the typical conventions taken in
magazines. Therefore in order to understand the ideas behind the design
and find it appealing I feel that my younger, smaller age range for the target
audience was appropriate and effective for methods of appealing.
7. I used a series of conventions which the audience would
be used to seeing/ attracted to in industry to gain the
attention of the intended market. After conducting
research on successful pre-existing magazines inside the
indie genre of music, I adapted some of the used
conventions and made them unique to my media product
through altering cover and contents page layouts, font
styles, image filters, etc. to gain a professional appearing
final product. As the style of the examples I looked at are
successful and popular products among indie lovers, I felt
this was an appropriate direction to take as there was
evidence of audience attraction.
8. Deciding on an effectively appealing colour scheme was
an important aspect of attracting the audience as they are
likely to base assumptions and base decisions around the
appearance of the product as a whole and therefore
impacting their views on what to expect from the quality of
the content inside; possibly comparing my magazine to
others beside it on the store shelf. Due to this, I ensured I
adopted an attractive and contrasting colour scheme
(black, white and red) to achieve consistency and the
appearance of a professional design on the front cover,
contents and double page spread.
9. Another way I addressed the target audience is through the language used. After
researching pre-existing contents pages from Clash and Fader, I gained ideas on how
to effectively engage with the reader. This led to my decision to use combinations of
formal and informal tones, which the ideal reader would understand and be able to
make sense of as a literate and educated member of the public. When constructing the
interview to be featured on the double page spread, I considered my target age range,
social brackets and themes which intended to be carried throughout my magazine. I
opted to use a more informal/ low language register as this suited the style of the
interview, and I wanted to present an ‘easy’ read for the audience which they would find
appealing as it does not require too much thought. However I also ensured the readers
did not feel their intelligence was being insulted as this may deter the audience from
wanting to purchase a copy of the magazine through using a basic yet understandable
and flowing body of information featured on the double page spread. Due to the
informal nature of the interview I felt the informal tone was necessary to engage the
audience. I was aware that music magazines used different forms of socialite to
communicate effectively with the audience and I feel I achieved this to a good standard
within Original. Ensuring syntax and grammar were correct was important as failure to
have correct spelling and punctuation in appropriate places inside a published issue
would be likely to deter the reader continuing reading the magazine and also giving the
brand a bad reputation if many notice mistakes. This would be very unprofessional and
it is crucial for the branding of the magazine that mistakes are not made.
10. In order to attract the audience and ensure my media product was effective and realistic of
an industry standard, the styling of models within Original is fitting in with the indie genre
throughout the entire product to clearly represent the genre loved by the readers. The
smart, bright floral shirt as well as the minimalistic black T-shirt and Skinny jeans worn by
male indie artist Jack Wolf, and vintage style paisley printed shirt worn by the female artist
referred to as Lucy Needs on the contents page reflects the styling of my indie target
audience; indie musicians often adopt a very eccentric, vintage style, or the opposite end of
the scale and wear basic, minimalistic fashions. This is something I wanted to present in my
media product to address the genre clearly and use it to attract the audience, making the
product seem more relevant and inspirational to them as individuals. I planned outfits and
styling of the models featured prior to photographing them to ensure I would achieve a
range of effective images suitable to the genre of the magazine and to enable me to
successfully present this to the audience through selecting fashion meeting the indie
criteria and what would work well on each page. Personalities of the models are clearly
presented in my magazine as the innovative styling and expressions captured on my images
used present an insight into the model’s characteristics etc. I wanted to maintain
consistency, yet have variance to display my skills through my product and create drama,
therefore I captured the majority of my images in an artificially lit studio with a white
screen behind the model being photographed to make the image seem more attractive and
professional in the eyes of the audience through having a blank, neat mise en scene to
ensure all focus Is kept on the model. However to allow my product to present a level of
variance I included an image of the male cover artist outside by a worn down, weathered
door exposing concentrate and creating an urban appearance as a result. This helped me to
ensure I kept the attention and interest of the reader on every page through my use of
unique and slightly unconventional design seeming attractive to the target audience who
have a love for individuality and innovation.
11. I applied different filters to each of the images featured inside
my media product to make them appear more aesthetically
pleasing and maintain a consistent look of stylishness. To
create flawless, statement images within my magazine I
airbrushed each image to remove irritating spots noticeable
on the original images, altered the contrast and brightness
levels of each image to present a glossy, vintage image and
appeal to the audience.
12. The female model, Lucy Needs, is featured using
combined shots to seem more interesting and futuristic-
suited to the themes intended to be represented in her
article further on in the magazine. This unusual type of
image used would interest and appeal to the audience as
it ties nicely with the indie genre and contributes towards
the vintage look on the page.
I chose to apply a black and white filter to both images
featured on the double page spread as tis appears glossy,
vintage and stylish- making the page more attractive and
grabbing the attention of the reader as a result.
