We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

may lead to re-editing etc. Later on, an advance screening is used to build up some

(often foreign-language films). These films would often play in „arthouse‟
(independently-owned) cinemas.
The Big Six – The six companies that form the Hollywood system. These are 20th
Century Fox, Universal Studios, Disney, Columbia, Paramount and Warner Bros.
Blockbuster - A film that secures huge publicity and (more likely than not) huge box
office sales

new combined or „hybrid‟ form (ie think of all the different technologies that have

(marketing & publicity) and organising the distribution of film prints to the exhibitors
Exhibition - The business of showing films in cinemas

one large company owning several other companies in different media (E.g. owning

publishing films scripts and distributing film soundtracks
screening films via cinema chains or satellite TV
Multiplexes - Multi-screen cinemas located on the edge of large cities or
conurbations with easy road access.

companies in which no one company is dominant. They may well, however, work
together in a group to keep other companies out of the market. The Hollywood Big
Six can be seen as an oligopoly.
Opening weekend-The first weekend of a film‟s release. The film‟s performance in
this first weekend will go a long way to determining whether it is a success.

„package‟ which will include a script, possible stars, possible key crew (director etc).
