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.

• Higher education (HE) in Namibia started in 1980, when
the Academy of Tertiary Education was established.
• Prior to this, students pursuing higher education went
abroad, mainly to South Africa.
• In 1985 HE was divided in three: The Academy of
Tertiary Education, a university component, organised
around faculties of social science, nursing and teachers
training; Technikon Namibia (offering diplomas and
certificates) and The College for Out of School Training.
• Shortly after independence it was decided to divide
these three components into two independent higher
education institutions (HEIs): University of Namibia
(UNAM) and the Polytechnic of Namibia (PoN). In 1994
Technikon Namibia and The College for Out of School
Training merged to become PoN.
3. PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

10. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
There are two regulatory bodies that are responsible
for regulating HE in Namibia namely:
National Council for Higher Education (NCHE)
NCHE was established by Act of Parliament (Act No.
26 of 2003) to advise the government on issues
related to HE.
Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA)
This is a statutory body that was established by the
Act of Parliament Act No. 29 of 1996.
11. National Council for Higher Education (NCHE)
It is responsible for:
• Accrediting, in concurrence with NQA, programmes of
HE.
• Monitoring the quality assurance mechanisms of HEIs;
• Promoting access of students to HEIs;
• Undertaking such research studies with regard to HE.
• Advising the Minister of Education of its own accord or
at request of the Minister on -
o The structure of the HE system in general;
o Quality promotion and quality assurance in HE;
o The allocation of public moneys to HEIs; and
o The governance of HEIs.
12. Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA)
This is a statutory body that was established by the Act
of Parliament Act No. 29 of 1996. Its mandates are:
• to set up and administer a National Qualifications
Framework
• set the occupational standards for any occupation,
job, post or positions in any career structure
• set the curriculum standards for achieving the
occupational standards
• promote the development of, or analyse,
benchmarks of acceptable performance norms for
any occupation , job or position
13. Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) Conts...
• accredit persons, institutions and
organisations providing education and
courses of instruction or training
• evaluate and recognise competencies learnt
outside formal education
• be a forum on matters pertaining to
qualifications
• establish facilities for the collection and
dissemination of information in connection
with matters pertaining to qualifications
14. Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) Conts...
• enquire into whether any particular qualification
meets the national standards
• advise any person, body, institution, organisation
or interest group on matters pertaining to
qualifications and national standards for
qualifications.
15. NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK (NQF)
The principles of the NQF which was the primary
mechanism for achieving greater quality in education and
training and must be:
• comprehensive in its recognition of all learning and all
qualifications attained in the country
• cognisant of each individual’s right and desire for access
to lifelong learning through different pathways to achieve
success
• directed towards quality through the development of
standards-based qualifications that would recognise
outcomes no matter how achieved
16. NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK (NQF)
Conts…
• capable of redressing past injustices, particularly
through the recognition of prior learning
• relevant, with a closer interaction between what
was taught and assessed with the competences
required in and across career structures
• democratic, proving for stakeholder engagement
and participation in meaningful ways
• integrated so that learners might progress
horizontally and vertically in a more free and
efficient manner so that the prospects of reaching
locked into dead-end programmes were minimised.
17. OBSERVATION
• There has been a lot efforts and resources
invested in education at all levels.
• However, despite such investments, quality
remains a question of the day especially with
respect to HE.
• Currently, the accreditation by NQA is not
compulsory therefore allows some institutions to
operate unregulated and thereafter offer non-
standardised education. It is worth noting that
the NQA Act is currently under review.
18. OBSERVATION Conts…
• Although there is a mushrooming of HEIs, it
remains that no sufficient places for all students
who meet the requirements.
• Another challenge is that there a lack of
understanding in the philosophy of quality
assurance.
• It emerges that much needs to be done in HE to
ensure total quality management.
19. CONCLUSION
• It all started from humble beginnings to build
up higher education in the 1980s with only
two providers and shortly the number
escalated to over 15 providers.
• Quality has been the core point for
consideration has establishment of quality
assurance agencies to regulate the higher
education system.
• Although a lot has been done, much needs to
be done to ensure total quality management
in HE system in Namibia.
