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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Hepatitis B.pptx
1.
2. Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by
the hepatitis B virus (HBV). For most people,
hepatitis B is short term, also called acute, and
lasts less than six months. But for others, the
infection becomes chronic, meaning it lasts
more than six months. Having chronic hepatitis
B increases your risk of developing liver failure,
liver cancer or cirrhosis — a condition that
permanently scars the liver.
3. Hepatitis B signs and symptoms may include:
Abdominal pain
Dark urine
Fever
Joint pain
Loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Weakness and fatigue
Yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes,
also called jaundice
4. Sexual contact.
Sharing of needles.
Accidental needle sticks.
Mother to child.
5. Acute hepatitis B infection lasts less than six months.
Your immune system likely can clear acute hepatitis B
from your body, and you should recover completely
within a few months. Most people who get hepatitis B
as adults have an acute infection, but it can lead to
chronic infection.
Chronic hepatitis B infection lasts six months or
longer. It lingers because your immune system can't
fight off the infection. Chronic hepatitis B infection
may last a lifetime, possibly leading to serious
illnesses such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Some
people with chronic hepatitis B may have no
symptoms at all. Some may have ongoing fatigue and
mild symptoms of acute hepatitis.
6. Scarring of the liver (cirrhosis). Reactivation
of the hepatitis B virus.
Liver cancer. People with chronic hepatitis B
infection have an increased risk of liver
cancer.
Liver failure. People with chronic hepatitis B
infection have an increased risk of liver
cancer.

A 28-year-old female presents to the clinic with a 10-day history
of flu-like symptoms, including anorexia and malaise. She does
not report any pertinent prior medical history or surgeries. She
takes no medications. Her family history is noncontributory, and
she reports no sick contacts. She is sexually active with multiple
partners and has used oral contraceptives regularly for the past
12 years. She has not traveled outside the United States in the
past 5 years.
On physical examination, she is alert and oriented, in no acute
distress. Her vital signs are temperature of 99.9°F, pulse
78/minute, respirations of 18/minute, and blood pressure of
121/78 mm Hg. Her extraocular muscles are intact; however,
mild scleral icterus is noted. Heart sounds are regular rate and
rhythm without murmurs, and lungs are clear to auscultation
bilaterally. The abdomen is soft and nontender, except the liver
is tender when palpated and extends 8 cm below the costal
margin, with a smooth edge. Initial laboratory testing is
performed and shown in Table 1.1

The patient’s disease state—active infection versus

11. Acute hepatitis B requires only supportive
treatment while the patient clears the
infection.3 Antiviral medications have not
been shown to shorten or improve the course
for patients with acute hepatitis with severe
presentations. Patients with chronic hepatitis
B should be treated with interferons and
antivirals and regularly tested for viral loads
and liver function markers to monitor for
progression (increasing viral load and/or
declining liver function).
