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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Greek myths represent a section
of ancient Greek religion that
originated in present day Greece
and Asia Minor about 1200 b.c.
The ancient texts we call Greek
Myths are mostly from the period
known as Classical Greece, before
500 b.c.
This date reflects when the myths
were written down, although they
originated over 700 years before.
3. The Structure of the Universe
Mount Olympus: The home of the
Gods; may be a mountain or just
a section of heaven
Earth
The Underworld: Area hidden in the
earth for the dead ruled by Hades
Tartarus: Area far beneath the
underworld; the ultimate prison
4. Keep in Mind…
The Gods lived atop Mt. Olympus, but
often descended to earth, sometimes
in their own shapes, and sometimes
disguised as humans or animals.
Often times, Gods mated with
humans to form heroes and/or future
Gods.
While the myths may seem like just
stories, they represent an important
part of history as well as literature.
5. Stop!
1. Find a partner
2. Introduce yourselves.
3. The person with darker color bottoms
starts.
4. With your partner, do a Rally Robin
5. For 45 seconds, you and your partner
will “volley” back and forth, statements
about what you just learned.
6. Creation
Gaea, known as Mother Earth, joined with
Uranus, the Sky, and gave birth to many
children.
Gaea first gave birth to several monsters,
including the Titans and the Cyclopes.
Uranus was not pleased and threw many of
them into Tartarus. In response to
Uranus’ cruelty, Cronos, one of the Titans,
attacked his father and took over his
power. Cronos was now the lord of the
universe and ruled with cruelty.
7. Creation Cont’d
Cronos married his Titan sister Rhea, who
gave birth to many children. However,
because he was fearful his children would
overpower him, Cronos swallowed each one.
These actions enraged Rhea, who saved
one of her sons, Zeus, by tricking Cronos
into swallowing rocks instead of the child.
Zeus matured, and his wife Metis tricked
Cronos into vomiting the children he had
last swallowed. This act frightened
Cronos, and he surrendered his powers.
8. The Olympians
Zeus, the most powerful of all the Gods,
ruled the Universe with the help of his
brothers and sisters, six of his children,
and the goddess of love.
The Gods themselves could never die, and
although they were all-powerful, they
often made choices which we would
consider today as being “un-Godlike.”
11. The “correct” gods inhabiting Mount
Olympus are debatable, and depending
on the source, up to 14 gods held a
place on the council
12. Stop!
1. Find a partner – sticky hands
2. Introduce yourselves.
3. The person with shorter hair
4. With your partner, do a Volley Robin
5. For 45 seconds, you and your partner
will “volley” back and forth,
statements about what you just
learned.
13. The Olympians
Zeus is considered the superior leader
of the Gods. He is the lord of the sky
and the rain god.
His weapon is the
thunderbolt. He is
married to Hera, but
is known for his many
affairs, as well as his
strict punishments to
those who lie or break
oaths.
14.
15. The Olympians
Poseidon, the second most powerful God,
is the lord of the sea. His weapon is a
trident, which can shake the earth and
shatter any object.
Poseidon is
known for his
quarrelsome
personality and
greed, often
disputing with
other Gods.
16. The Olympians
Hades, the god of the underworld and
ruler of the dead, and he is constantly
looking to increase his subjects.
This greedy god is also
the god of wealth, due
to the precious metals
mined from deep in the
earth. He has a helmet
that makes him
invisible.
17. The Olympians
Hestia, the virgin
goddess, does not
have a distinct
personality and is
not a major part of
the myths. She is
the goddess of the
hearth.
18. The Olympians
Hera, Zeus’ wife and sister, is the
protector of marriage.
Her sacred animals are
the cow and the peacock.
Many myths center
around Hera’s jealous
revenge for Zeus’
infidelities, as well as her
abilities to outwit him.
19. The Olympians
Ares, the god of war, is the son of Zeus
and Hera. He is considered murderous
and disliked by the gods—even his
parents.
His bird is the
vulture and his
animal is the dog.
20. The Olympians
Athena, Zeus’ daughter, sprang full-grown
and in armor from Zeus’ head, therefore
she has no mother. She was Zeus’ favorite
child and allowed to use his thunderbolt.
She is the goddess of
city, handicrafts, and
agriculture and
embodies wisdom,
reason, and purity.
Her tree is the olive,
and her bird is the owl.
21. The Olympians
Apollo, Aretemis’ twin
brother, is the god of
music and plays the
golden lyre. He is also
the god of healing,
truth, and light. His
biggest task is to drive
the sun across the sky
and is famous for his
oracle at Delphi.
22. The Olympians
Aphrodite, the goddess of love, desire,
and beauty, has no parents as she sprang
from the sea foam.
The myrtle
tree is her
bird, while the
dove, swan,
and sparrow
are her birds.
28. Other Lessor Gods
Hebe: goddess of youth; sometimes part
of Olympus
Persephone: queen of the underworld
Dionysus: god of wine; sometimes part of
Olympus
Nemesis: god of vengence
29. Other Lessor Gods cont’d
