Halloween originated 2000 years ago among Celtic tribes in Ireland, England, and France who celebrated Samhain at the end of harvest season. They believed spirits visited on Samhain and wore costumes to avoid recognition. The traditions spread to America with Irish immigrants fleeing the potato famine. Today, Halloween celebrations include costumes, trick-or-treating, and carving jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins.

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. Origins
Halloween began two thousand years ago in
Ireland, England, and Northern France with
the ancient religion of the Celts (Paganism).
3. They celebrated their New
Year on November 1st.
This day marked the beginning of the dark,
cold winter, a time of year that was often
associated with human death.
4. Samhain (sow-in)
On the night of October 31, they celebrated
Samhain, when it was believed that the
ghosts of the dead returned to earth.
6. So they wore costumes.
This way, the ghosts couldn’t recognize them!
7. All Souls Day
November 2nd, called All Souls Day, is the day
set apart in the Roman Catholic Church for
the commemoration of the dead.
8. Trick-or-treating began with
the poor in the 15th century…
During the All Souls Day festival in England, poor
people would beg for “soul cakes,” made out of
square pieces of bread with currants
Families would give soul cakes in return for a
promise to pray for the family’s relatives
9. then children…
The practice, which was
referred to as "going a-
souling" was eventually
taken up by children
who would visit the
houses in their
neighborhood and be
given ale, food, and
money.
10. Today:
Children still go from house-to-house, but
instead of ale, food, and money, they get
candy.
11. With Irish Immigration…
In 1848, millions of Irish emigrants poured
into America as a result of the potato famine.
They brought with them their traditions of
Halloween.
12. Halloween came to America.
They called Halloween Oidche Shamhna
(`Night of Samhain'), as their ancestors had,
and kept the traditional observances.
13. The Jack-O-Lantern
The Irish used to carry turnips with candles in
them to light their way at night and to scare
away ghosts..
14. When they arrived in America they found
that pumpkins were both plentiful and easier
to carve than turnips.
