From conducting audience research through an online questionnaire and focus group interviews, the author learned important insights about their target audience for a pop music magazine. The questionnaire responses showed that the target audience is mostly female aged 16-21 who enjoy socializing, music, and celebrities. Focus group interviews with two 16-year-old females provided more details, such as their preferences for ordered magazine covers, navigable page layouts, and a mix of images and text in articles. Overall, the audience research indicated that the magazine should have a mature yet colorful style, popular and up-to-date artists, and incorporate feedback on content and design to appeal to its target readership.
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.

wouldhave tomake sure thattheyappeal to a more mature target audience.
Overall,Iam veryhappywiththe responsesthatIgot frommy Questionnaire andfocusgroup
