This presentation looks at globalisation through superdiversity and supercomplexity and applies these concepts to TEFL. Globalisation is a critical global process that impacts on and refigures English teaching in local contexts. This presentation asks students to take the forces of globalisation seriously as a content based element of English teaching.

Re-Imagining Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) presented at TESL Ontario's 37th Annual Conference
"Language for a Changing World"
December 10th, 11th and 12th, 2009 Toronto, Canada
Presentation by Tony Capstick, University of Reading on Language, Resilience and Ethnography, at the Participation Lab workshop on Migration, Care, Language & Identity, University of Reading, 3 November 2016.
This presentation examines "Learning to think in the Anthropocene". By combining ideas from Deleuze & Guattari with a case study of the city of Dallas, Texas, this presentation critiques the remarks of George H.W. Bush at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, and provides a way forward for thinking in the Anthropocene
This presentation works through Guattari's notion of cartography. Cartography is a non-methodological research praxis. Applied to TEFL, the use of cartography helps us to open and expand our analysis of what works to an enveloping sense of how TEFL fits into the world and what universe eventuates because of it
Multiple literacies theory (MLT) and TEFLDavid R Cole
This presentation introduces the notion of Multiple Literacies Theory (MLT) and relates it to TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language). MLT has been developed in conjunction with Professor Diana Masny (Ottawa), and concerns the application of Deleuzian concepts to literacy acquisition and practice. Literacy is opened up and diversified through this action, making it more creative and applicable to today's educative context.
This presentation explores the notion of affective literacy and relates it to TEFL (teaching English as a Foreign Language). At the heart of affective literacy is 'affect' and how we work with it. Affect is a multi-dimensional concept that has the potential to transform teaching and learning practice. Educators can engage with affect as a means to enhance their affective workings in the classroom and beyond.
This presentation looks at applying multiliteracies to TEFL (teaching English as a Foreign Language). Multiliteracies was a language learning concept based on semiotics that allowed for and included new media modes of communication in the 1990s. Whilst the language learning situation has changed considerably since that time, the concept of multiliteracies is still relevant in terms of opening up and supplementing TEFL practice.
This presentation is an introduction to semiotics as a basis for teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). It makes a case for semiotics as a inter-cultural language learning theory. Main theorists in the field are explained and a connection to the mechanics of English teaching is made.
Conceptual framing for educational research through Deleuze and GuattariDavid R Cole
This presentation will address the issue of conceptual framing for educational research through the philosophy of Deleuze & Guattari. The picture of what this means is complicated by the fact that in their combined texts, Deleuze and Guattari present different notions of conceptual framing. In their final joint text, What is Philosophy? conceptual framing appears in the context of concept creation, and helps with the analysis of western philosophy through concepts such as ‘geophilosophy’. In their joint texts on Capitalism and Schizophrenia, concepts are aligned with pre-personal and individualising flows that pass through any context. This presentation will make sense of the disparate deployment of concepts in the work of Deleuze & Guattari to aid clear conceptual work in the growing international field of educational research inspired by their philosophy.
Surviving Economic Crises through EducationDavid R Cole
These slides show quotes and images from the book, 'Surviving Economic Crises through Education'. Each chapter adds a new perspective and further evidence with respect to how to survive an economic crisis. through education.
This presentation takes the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and formulates a 2 role model of affect from his philosophy. This model is applied to education and how one learns. The model deal with power and language in education.
This presentation examines the necessity of encouraging writing across the curriculum areas. Writing activities have to be engaging, meaningful and help to develop the writing skills of the audience. These slides examine how and why one should teach writing across the curriculum.
On the uses and abuses of Deleuze & Guattari for educational researchDavid R Cole
This presentation takes the philosophy of Deleuze & Guattari and applies it to educational research. Different texts are discussed and various approaches are outlined. The presentation finishes with educational approaches developed by researcher David R Cole.
This presentation outlines an approach to educational leadership. Major theoretical and intellectual considerations are addressed. The slides conclude with a thinking-critical approach to educational leadership.
This presentation investigates approaches to enhancing critical thinking in the 21st century. The use of philosophy, P4C and epistemology are examined. The focus here is on critical thinking enhancement in high schools.
Learning practice: the ghosts in the education machineDavid R Cole
This slide share analyses learning and practice together. The idea here is that if analysed together, learning and practice become comprehensible as a conceptual unit that does work in education as a ghost. This ghost acts as means to separate and analyse the educational machine. in
This presentation articulates the idea of literacies across the curriculum. The various ways in which literacy can be understood is analysed, and these categories are applied to different curriculum subjects. The slideshow represents multiliteracies, the new literacies, critical and affective literacy and multiple literacies theory (MLT).
Globalisation and Educational ResearchDavid R Cole
This presentation examines Guattari's cartographic method for educational research. The method is applied to 2 examples: Sudanese families in Australia and young Muslims in Australia on Facebook. The result is a reading of the forces of globalisation in education.
This presentation uses the imagery of car crashes and traffic jams to explore the unconscious. This exploration is combined with the conceptual construction of Deleuze & Guattari's plane of immanence.
This presentation outlines the notion of Educational life-forms. These life-forms run through educational practice. This presentation demonstrates how to use the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze as pedagogy.

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.
2. WHAT IS SUPERDIVERSITY?
• Superdiversity is a term intended to underline a level and kind of complexity surpassing anything previously
experienced in a particular society. Over the past twenty years globally more people have moved from more
places to more places; wholly new and increasingly complex social formations have ensued, marked by
dynamic interplays of variables, including: country of origin (comprising a variety of possible subset traits such
as ethnicity, language[s], religious tradition, regional and local identities, cultural values and practices),
migration channel (often related to highly gendered flows, specific social networks and particular labour
market niches), and legal status (including myriad categories determining a hierarchy of entitlements and
restrictions). These variables co-condition integration outcomes along with factors surrounding migrants’
human capital (particularly educational background), access to employment (which may or may not be in
immigrants’ hands), locality (related especially to material conditions, but also to other immigrant and ethnic
minority presence), and the usually chequered responses by local authorities, services providers and local
residents (which often tend to function by way of assumptions based on previous experiences with migrants
and ethnic minorities).
• (Vertovec, 2007, p. 1049)
3. WHAT IS SUPERCOMPLEXITY?
• … one is faced with a surfeit of data, knowledge or theoretical frames within one’s immediate situation
… Simply keeping abreast of the field may seem to be nigh on impossible … But, in addition to these
cognitive and operational challenges, [one] is also increasingly faced with challenges of his or her own
self-understanding … professional life is increasingly becoming a matter not just of handling
overwhelming data and theories within a given frame of reference (a situation of complexity) but also a
matter of handling multiple frames of understanding, of action and of self-identity. The fundamental
frameworks by which we might understand the world are multiplying and are often in conflict. Of the
multiplication of frameworks there is no end.
• (Barnett, 2000, p. 6)

5. WHAT IS GLOBALISATION?
• Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and
governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by
information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems,
on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the
world ….
• Q: Is globalisation good or bad?
• How do you fit into/with globalisation?
• How does TEFL fit into globalisation?
• Do you have choices with respect to globalisation?
6. WHAT ARE SUPER DIMENSIONS IN GLOBALISATION
AND EDUCATION?
1) Global forces are those pressures on context that emerge from overarching, often intersecting
structures such as capitalism, modernity, colonialism and imperialism. 2) Global connections refer to trans-
local and trans-national links between people or groups such as migrants, tourists and social movements
and relates to the superdiverse underpinning of the super dimensions. 3) Global imagination refers to the
mobilisation and deployment of meanings about globalisation processes and the power and politics of
such meaning making, and this aspect of research can be understood in terms of supercomplexity
(Burawoy et al., 2000).
