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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

Probability and Samples: The Distribution of Sample Means
1. Chapter 7
Probability and Samples: The
Distribution of Sample Means
PowerPoint Lecture Slides
Essentials of Statistics for the
Behavioral Sciences
Eighth Edition
by Frederick J. Gravetter and Larry B. Wallnau
2. Chapter 7 Learning Outcomes
• Define distribution of sampling means1
• Describe distribution by shape, expected value,
and standard error2
• Describe location of sample mean M by z-score3
• Determine probabilities corresponding to sample
mean using z-scores, unit normal table4
3. Tools You Will Need
• Random sampling (Chapter 6)
• Probability and the normal distribution
(Chapter 6)
• z-Scores (Chapter 5)
4. 7.1 Samples and Population
• The location of a score in a sample or in a
population can be represented with a z-score
• Researchers typically want to study entire
samples rather than single scores
• Sample provides estimate of the population
• Tests involve transforming sample mean to
a z-score
5. Sampling Error
• Error does not indicate a mistake was made
• Sampling error is the natural discrepancy, or
the amount of error, between a sample
statistic and its corresponding population
parameter
• Samples are variable; two samples are very,
very rarely identical
6. 7.2 Distribution of Sample Means
• Samples differ from each other
– Given a random sample it is unlikely that sample
means would always be the same
– Sample means differ from each other
• The distribution of sample means is the
collection of sample means for all the possible
random samples of a particular size (n) that
can be obtained from a population
7. Sampling distribution
• Distributions in earlier chapters were
distributions of scores from samples
• “Distribution of Sample Means” is called a
sampling distribution
– The “Distribution of Sample Means” is a special
kind of population
– It is a distribution of sample means obtained by
selecting all the possible samples of a
specific size (n) from a population
10. Important Characteristics of
Distributions of Sample Means
• The sample means pile up around the
population mean
• The distribution of sample means is
approximately normal in shape
11. Central Limit Theorem
• Applies to any population with mean μ and
standard deviation σ
• Distribution of sample means approaches a
normal distribution as n approaches infinity
• Distribution of sample means for samples
of size n will have a mean of μM
• Distribution of sample means for samples of
size n will have a standard deviation = n
12. Shape of the
Distribution of Sample Means
• The distribution of sample means is almost
perfectly normal in either of two conditions
– The population from which the samples are
selected is a normal distribution
or
– The number of scores (n) in each sample is
relatively large—at least 30
13. Expected Value of M
• Mean of the distribution of sample means is
μM and has a value equal to the mean of the
population of scores, μ
• Mean of the distribution of sample means is
called the expected value of M
• M is an unbiased statistic because μM , the
expected value of the distribution of sample
means is the value of the population mean, μ
14. Standard Error of M
• Variability of a distribution of scores is
measured by the standard deviation
• Variability of a distribution of sample means is
measured by the standard deviation of the
sample means, and is called the standard
error of M and written as σM
• In journal articles or other textbooks, the
standard error of M might be identified as
“standard error,” “SE,” or “SEM”
15. Standard Error of M
• The standard error of M is the standard
deviation of the distribution of sample means
• The standard error of M provides a measure
of how much distance is expected on average
between M and μ
16. Standard Error Magnitude
• Law of large numbers: the larger the sample
size, the more probable it is that the sample
mean will be close to the population mean
• Population variance: The smaller the variance
in the population, the more probable it is that
the sample mean will be close to the
population mean
19. 7.3 Probability and the
Distribution of Sample Means
• Primary use of the distribution of sample
means is to find the probability associated
with any particular sample (sample mean)
• Proportions of the normal curve are used to
represent probabilities
• A z-score for the sample mean is computed
21. A z-Score for Sample Means
• Sign tells whether the location is above (+) or
below (-) the mean
• Number tells the distance between the
location and the mean in standard deviation
(standard error) units
• z-formula:
M
M
z
23. Learning Check
• A population has μ = 60 with σ = 5; the
distribution of sample means for samples of
size n = 4 selected from this population would
have an expected value of _____
• 5A
• 60B
• 30C
• 15D
24. Learning Check - Answer
• A population has μ = 60 with σ = 5; the
distribution of sample means for samples of
size n = 4 selected from this population would
have an expected value of _____
• 5A
• 60B
• 30C
• 15D
25. Learning Check
• Decide if each of the following statements
is True or False
• The shape of a distribution of
sample means is always normalT/F
• As sample size increases, the value
of the standard error decreasesT/F
26. Learning Check - Answer
• The shape is normal only if the
population is normal or n ≥ 30False
• Sample size is in the denominator
of the equation so as n grows
larger, standard error decreases
True
27. 7.4 More about Standard Error
• There will usually be discrepancy between a
sample mean and the true population mean
• This discrepancy is called sampling error
• The amount of sampling error varies across
samples
• The variability of sampling error is measured
by the standard error of the mean
30. In the Literature
• Journals vary in how they refer to the
standard error but frequently use:
– SE
– SEM
• Often reported in a table along with n and M
for the different groups in the experiment
• May also be added to a graph
33. 7.5 Looking Ahead to
Inferential Statistics
• Inferential statistics use sample data to draw
general conclusions about populations
– Sample information is not a perfectly accurate
reflection of its population (sampling error)
– Differences between sample and population
introduce uncertainty into inferential processes
• Statistical techniques use probabilities to draw
inferences from sample data
36. Learning Check
