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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

This three-word phrase is nothing but a
deliberate oxymoron, combining two
opposite senses in one. Among other
things, it is the officially adopted motto of
European Union. Finding a place in almost
every ancient civilization’s socio-cultural
set-up, it has been used across almost all
the continents.
Notwithstanding all these relevant
information, this phrase is furthermore
pertinent for another obvious reason as
well if you are in India. What is it?

The current appearance of this dining table artifact is
attributed to Cardinal Richelieu.
In 1637, the Cardinal is said to have been horrified when
he saw a guest pick his teeth, as a result of which he
ordered a change to be made.
In 1669, Louis XIV, possibly to avoid succession
conspiracies from being executed at dinner, made it
mandatory for French cutlers to forge this object the way
Richelieu had ordered and it has stayed that way ever
since.
What object?
What exact change?

movement traced the location of this belonging to
Sri Vikrama Rajasinghe, the last king of the
Kingdom of Kandy to the Royal Hospital Chelsea
where it was kept since the surrender of the
Kingdom to the British in 1815. The recovered
item became a focal point in the independence
movement of Ceylon.

The Mystery of Picasso is a 1956 documentary
film made by the acclaimed French Director
Henri-Georges Clouzot. This film looks in to
Picasso’s creative process and captures him in the
act of creating paintings for the camera.
While this was one of the greatest documentaries
on art ever made what other important reason
made the French Government to declare this
documentary as a National Treasure?

Picasso for this movie were
subsequently destroyed so that
they would exist only on film

In a bid to increase profits, radio stations in the
1920s convinced businesses that sold
household goods, to sponsor their radio
shows. With the advent of the daytime serial
drama format, the motive was to appeal to the
main consumers of household goods, being
female homemakers.
A product of Proctor & Gamble called Oxydol
was one of the sponsors of a popular daytime
serial drama in 1933. This is the supposed
origin of a commonly used term. What term?

Nuclear detonations all experience a characteristic
double flash. The double flash enabled an ingenious
instrument to be built to measure the yield of nuclear
weapons.
The physics of the phenomenon means that the interval
between flashes is proportional to the size of the
explosion.
The instrument's simplicity (little more than a
photocell, scope & camera) caused some engineers to
think the designers must be off their heads, to think
yield could be so easily determined.
This doubt about drug sobriety caused Nobel Prize
winner Fred Reines to name the instrument “________”.

Madhubani paintings are folk paintings from north
India. Mostly practised by women in the villages
who have over generations, passed on this form of
art to their daughters. Jamini are paintings by
Jamini Roy who wanted to convey the simplicity of
folk life and culture through them. Roy's aim was
to make art accessible to a wider section of people,
and to give Indian art its own identity.
In 2016, on what brand packaging in India would
you have come across Jamini paintings like the
ones (image follows) along with some Madhubani
artwork (depicting characters and kids playing
cricket)? The brand is spreading the message of
nutrition through art.

Known as Trichies or Tritchies, this product used
to be one of India's main items of export during
the Victorian period. In Arthur Conan Doyle's A
Study in Scarlet (1887), Sherlock Holmes correctly
deduces that the perpetuator of a gruesome
murder had used this product as he found
something "dark in colour and flaky“(typical of
Trichies) at the spot. In Rudyard Kipling's The
Mother Lodge, he includes the line "With the
trichies smellin' pleasant an' the hog-darn passin'
down".
What are Trichies/what product?

They were first used in the World Series Cricket (WSC)
matches, set by Kerry Packer. These became necessary for the
WSC as they had to play in dual purpose venues operating
outside of the cricket establishment.
The obvious problem was preparing ______ of suitable
standard at these venues, where none had existed previously.
By common consensus, it was considered impossible to create
the ______ in such a short time. However, Packer hired the
brilliant John Maley away from the Gabba ground in
Brisbane, and he pioneered the concept of X.
The Xs were grown in hothouses outside the venue, then put
in the necessary place. This revolutionary technique was the
unsung highlight of the first season of WSC – without them,
WSC would have been a folly.

When LinkedIn did it in the May of 2011, many
thought they were the first company to do it.
But many companies, including foreign ones

Another example was companies like Pike

The Alcatraz Prison located on the Alcatraz
Island off the coast of San Francisco is said
to be the first prison to supply with
moderately hot to hot water showers to the
inmates.
While it may seem like it was good
Samaritans at work, the real reason was not
so dandy and rosy, it was in fact quite
logical, when taken into account, the
scenario.
What reason?
65.
66.
67. In case of an escape attempt, the inmates,
who would’ve got used to the hot water,
would find it extremely difficult to escape
from the prison via the surrounding water
because their bodies just would not be able to
survive the temperatures.
It was determined that exposure to the
elements would have affected body functions
after approximately twenty minutes.

X is the point where two railway lines cross
forming the shape of X. They are extremely rare
and the most famous one, X at Nagpur is a Double
X formed by two double lines crossing each other.
It is said to be the point where lines from the
North, South, East and West meet! In fact, it’s not
the only X in India. There is one more right in
the middle of Delhi. There was another one at
Dhanbad junction which was dismantled. There
also used to be a perfect 90-degree X in the now-
defunct old Ernakulam Terminus as well.
