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.

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.

-“Orthodontics is that specific area of dental
practice that has as its responsibility,the study
and supervision of growth and development of
the dentition and the related anatomical
structures from birth to dental
maturity,including all preventive and corrective
procedures of dental irregularities,requiring the
repositioning of teeth by functional or
mechanical means to establish normal
occlusion and pleasing facial contours.”

one daily pushed towards its place by means of the finger until it arrives
at its just proportion.”

52. EXTRACTION v/s NON-EXTRACTION
In 1911, at the Annual meeting of ADA, the
GREAT EXTRACTION DEBATE took place
between Angle’s student Dewey and Case.
Angle’s proposal and Beliefs-
Ideal facial esthetics would result when the
teeth are placed in ideal occlusion.
He believed this can be achieved when the
dental arches are expanded so that all the
teeth were in ideal occlusion.
53. Calvin Case
Argued that although the arches could
always be expanded so that the teeth
could be placed in alignment, neither
esthetics nor stability would be
satisfactory in the long term for many
patients.
The Result
Angle followers won- Extraction as
treatment modality reduced greatly
between World War I & II.
54. From 1930s to 1970s

Begg Appliance - Raymond Begg
Pre-adjusted Edgewise/ Straight Wire
Appliance – Lawrence F. Andrews
Tip- Edge Technique – Peter C. Kesling
Lingual Technique – Craven Kurz
88. E-Arch Appliance (1900)
First design of Angle
Consisted of bands only
on the first molars
Wire ligatures tied to a
heavy archwire.
Each end of the wire
threaded, and a small nut
placed on the threaded
portion to advance it, to
advance arch perimeter.
89. Pin and Tube Appliance (1910)
• Placed bands on other teeth.
• Vertical tube on each tooth
into which a pin, soldered to
the archwire, was placed.
• Repositioned the pins.
90. Ribbon Arch Appliance (1916)
Modified the bracket
• Provided a vertically
positioned rectangular slot
• 10 X 20 gold wire held
firmly with pins
• Small enough to have
good spring qualities
• Poor control of root
position
91. THE EDGEWISE APPLIANCE (1928)
Angle reoriented the slot from
vertical to horizontal and inserted a
rectangular wire “edgewise”— with
its greater dimension perpendicular
to the long axis of the teeth.
Archwire was tied in place with steel
ligatures. The archwire was of .022 x
028-in gold.
First bracket to move teeth in all 3
planes simultaneously.
It soon became the most popular
appliance in the United States.
92. Begg Appliance
Had been taught the ribbon arch appliance at
the Angle School .
1925- Returned to Adelaide Used ribbon arch
appliances & non- extraction philosophy-
Severe relapses- Dissatisfied with the
treatment results
1928- Began extraction
Modified Ribbon arch –
- Replaced precious metal ribbon arch with
16mil round SS wire
- Slot pointed gingivally
- Added auxiliary springs for control of root
position
93. Straight Wire Appliance (1970s)
Lawrence F Andrews – 6 keys of occlusion
Modification of edgewise appliance
Rectangular slots similar to edgewise
Pre-programmed brackets
No need for complex wire bending
94. The Roth Philosophy
Roth introduced a bracket set up containing
modifications of the tip, torque, rotations and in-out
movements of the Andrew’s standard set up
bracket.
Purpose of the Roth Rx-
- To reduce the need for a large inventory of bands
and brackets.
- Over Correction : Roth propagated a therapy goal in
which at the end of treatment all teeth were
positioned slightly overcorrected and from which the
would most likely settle into a non orthodontic
normal position.
He developed his prescription through trial and error
on treated cases, and the Roth Rx was commercially
made available in 1975.
95. MBT
•Mclaughlin, Bennett and Trevisi redesigned the
entire standard bracket system to complement their
proven treatment philosophy and to overcome the
inadequacies of SWA.
•They re-examined Andrew’s original findings and
took into account additional research input from
Japanese sources.
•This 3rd generation bracket system is designed for
use with light continuous forces,
lacebacks,bendbacks and sliding mechanics.
96. Tip-Edge Technique
Introduced by Dr. Peter Kesling
Combined Begg’s light forces
with edgewise’s better finishing.
Initial crown tipping done ,
which greatly facilitates tooth
movement, prior to edgewise
finishing– Differential Straight
Arch Technique
Parkhouse R. Tip Edge Orthodontics and the plus bracket.
2nd ed. Elsevier(2009).
97. Alexander (1978)
"Vari" - variety of bracket types used.
"Simplex" related to the concept of
keeping all aspects of the discipline as
simple as possible.
Arch wire fabrication and the incorporation
of many aspects of treatment options into
the brackets (ie, elastics hooks and
rotational wings on the brackets) added up
to the "simplex" concept.
Based on edgewise philosophy.

105. BOS came into existence on 1 July 1994 by the unification of the five
existing national orthodontic societies-
1. The British Society for the Study of Orthodontics, founded in 1907.
2. The Consultant Orthodontists Group, formed in 1964.
3. The Community Orthodontists Section of the British Association of
Orthodontists.
4. The British Association of Orthodontists (“BAO”), established in
1965.
5. The Association of University Teachers of Orthodontics.
106. The Indian Orthodontic Society, a 6000 plus strong
professional Society is the first Speciality society in
Dentistry in India.
The IOS started as a Study Group in Bombay, now
Mumbai, way back in the year 1963 and was formally
established as the INDIAN ORTHODONTIC
SOCIETY on Friday the 5th October 1965.
The late Dr.H.D. Merchant was the founder President
and Dr. Naishadh Parikh the Founder Secretary and
treasurer. The other founder members were Late Dr.
A.B.Modi, Dr. Keki Mistry, Dr.Mohandas Bhat, Dr.
Prem Prakash and Late Dr. H.S.Shaikh.
118. Wilckodontics
Wilckodontics, also known as Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics
(AOO)™, begins with a minimally invasive surgical procedure,
usually done under general anesthesia, to remove a small portion of
the alveolar bone’s external surface. For a short period of time, the
bone’s mineral content will be decreased, allowing braces to quickly
move teeth into their desired positions. The alveolar bone will heal
quickly and actually become stronger than it was before the
procedure

120. Bioprogressive Therapy
Dr.Robert Murray Ricketts.
It takes advantage of biological progression
including growth,development and function
and directs them in a fashion that
normalizes function and enhances esthetic
effects.
121. Lingual Orthodontics
Dr. Craven Kurz in 1976.
Advantages:
Highly esthetics
Disadvantages:
Poor acess.
Difficulty in speech.
123. Since the first use of a small catgut cord or applying
finger pressure to slowly shift the teeth into proper
alignment, orthodontics has come a long way.
It is an ever evolving field and orthodontists are able to
treat patients more efficiently, effectively and
comfortably than ever before.
There is still room for growth in the world of
orthodontics. Advancements will decrease the length of
treatment and cost even further, so people seeking
orthodontic treatment will increase.
CONCLUSION
History is the study of past.
Historical relation of current concept.
Helps us develop a better understanding of the world.
Understanding significance of human events.

Frederick bogue noise-american dentist.began dental practice before entering dental school. And while a student at northwestern university dental school 190organised first course on dental pathology.1908 started a new career as an orthodontist after studying with edward angle.
BOS originally came into existence on 1 July 1994 by the unification of the five existing national orthodontic societies. The founding societies were:
The British Society for the Study of Orthodontics, founded in 1907, and the oldest national orthodontic society.
The Consultant Orthodontists Group, formed in 1964 to represent Orthodontic Consultants in the hospital service.
The Community Orthodontists Section of the British Association of Orthodontists, to represent community orthodontists.
The British Association of Orthodontists (“BAO”), established in 1965 to represent specialist orthodontic practitioners. The Community Orthodontists Section was founded in 1974 as the Association of Community Orthodontists, which then evolved into the Community Orthodontists Group and became affiliated to BAO in 1987, and changed its name in 1988.
The Association of University Teachers of Orthodontics, to represent orthodontic teachers
ABO is a non profit professional association for orthodontist founded in 1929.
Dentistry as a part of medical art was 1st practised by priest
Etruscans- modern name given to wealthy civilization of an ancient italy.
The primitive people believed that afflicted person have been stricken by the wrath of some divinity.priest were ready to traet these persons.if they improve their prestige was increadse and if not it was believed that the person was not worthy to receive the desired pardon
Greek physician.he estbalished medical tradition based on the fact and the collected information was gathered in a textbook called corpus hipocraticum
First writer to study teeth in broad manner.
Lived for 600 years after hippocrates.anatomist.a writer,he erroneously believed that teeth has something to do with taste.in anatomical researched he identified the seven pair of cranial nerve and classified trigeminal as third pair.he also gave an opinion that teeth grow and repair the wear on them
At the age of 25 became a famous anatomist.his research in regard of teeth is incomplete as he stated that permanent teeth grows from the roots of the temporary teeth.
he concluded this due to the fact that deciduous teeth has no roots when shed.
Roman author
LDV is remembered bcz he painted a smile on the lips of mona lisa.
The image is one the vincis anatomical drawing of the skull.the left half is sectioned to reveal the frontal siuns which is close to orbit and maxillary sinus which was close to upper teeth.he made drawing of the number of teeth and their root formation.

Designed a cephalostat for precise orienttaion of individual head.
Cephalometry is usful not only in studying growth but also in diagnosis,treatment planing and evaluation of treatment results.
300 series stainless steel are classified as austenitic and hardened only by cold working.300 series are most corrosion resistant.
Blue algiloy-bent easily with fingers and pliers
Yellow elgiloy-ductile and more resilient than blue
Green algiloy-more resistant than yellow
Red elgiliy-most resilientof elgiloyy
Elgiloy was developed by elgin national company as the metal for precison syringe.
The adv of this wire is easier to bend then stainless steel.
Composition:
Cobalt,chromium,nickel,molybdenum,manganesecarbaon berrylium
Manufactured in four tempers and each are color coded in increasing order of resistance.
Blue algiloy(soft)-bent easily with fingers and pliers
Yellow elgiloy(ductile)-ductile and more resilient than blue
Green algiloy(semiresilient)-more resistant than yellow
Red elgiliy(resilient)-most resilientof elgiloyy
Reliency of wire is maximum amount of energy that a wire can absorb without undergoing permanent deformation
It states that form of the cranial skeletal tissues(eg size and shape) is always response to the spatial,mechanical and energy demands of all the tissues,organs and cranial spaces.here funtion is dominant.
His observation was based on the work of storey and smith
The range of light prssure which would cause the teeth to move at an optimum rate with minimal disturbance of the supporting tissue.pressure below this range would produce a slow rate of response while those above incurred a reaction within the bone supportreffered to as underminig resorption.applying theses princilples to the begg technique, the force of intermaxillary elastic used in stage I of treatment was kept light so that the upper labial segment was retracted while lower anchor moars has negligible mesial movement.
Limited to tipping and simple rotatry movements of teeth.
Bows springs elastics retractors and screws
Crozart appliance-used for widening of dental arches fostering bone growth.
Schwarz- used for expansion
Adam –used as retentive component to retain the appliances.
They are loose fitting or paasive appliance which harness natural forces of the orofacial musculature that are transmitted to the teeth through the medium of appliance.
Monobloc-skeltal class 2 due to mandibular deficiency
It will result in forward positioning of the mandible which will stretch the muscle and accelerate the mandibular growth
Twin block-Made of 2 components upper and the lower plate which works together to posture the lower jaw forward.
Bionator-used in reatment of class 2 div 1 and class 1 with narrow dental arches.
Activator-actively growing individual with favourable patternare good caandidates.
Used in correction of class 2 malocclusion due to retrognathic mandible.
1-class 1 and class 2 div1
2-class 2 div and div 2
3-class 3
Appliance that are fitted on to the teeth by the opertor and cannot be removed by patient are called fixed appliances.various types of tooth movement like bodily movement,rottaion,tipping,intrusion extrusion and even root movements.components of fixed apliance:active arch wire,springs elastics and separators.passive component:bands,brackets,buccal tubes,lingual attachment, lock pins,ligature wires
All the teeth were banded.vertical tubes were welded to the bands on the labial surface in the centre of the crown of all the teeth.
Arch wire secured with soldered pins
Tooth movement can be achieved by by altering the placement of these pins.
Modification of pin and tube.
Introduced in 1910
RA was the first applaince to use a true bracket
The bracket has vertical slots facing occlusally
The brackets were atached to the bands at the centre of the labial surface of the teeth.
In order to overcome the deficiences encountered in his previous techniques angle designed a metal bracket which could give better control of tooth movement.
Rectangular slot facing labially rather than occlusally or gingivally which recieves rectangular arch wires.
This unique feature of rectangular arch wire in rectangular slot enabled tooth movement in all 3 planes.
Bracket has four wings two occlusal and two gingival which increase the surface of the archwire with bracket slot and give accurate control.
Begg modified angles ribbon arch technique and introduced begg light wire differential force technique.this appliance use the concept of differential force and tipping of teeth rather than bodily movement.
It uses high strength ss wire along with number of auxillaries and springs to achieve the desired tooth movement.
Adv
use of light force
relatively continuous force application
Minimal friction betwwen wire and bracket
Rapid alignment
Extraoral forces are not required.
Lawrence f andrews based on six Keys to normal occlusion
The basic concept was to program the bracket to have 1st 2nd and 3rdorder componenets so that complex wire bending is not required.hence called as preadjusted edgewise appliance
To combine advantages of both staraight wire and begg appliance
It allows tipping in the initial stages of tooth movement.
During later stages full size rectangular arch wires were used to give better degree of control.
REFERENCE- The History and Philosophy of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontia*by GEORGE W. HAHN, DDS, Berkeley, California
Read at the Twenty-fifth-Anniversary Biennial Meeting of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists, Chicago, November 6, 1955. – www.angle.org
There was a growing interest in orthodontics at the beginning of the 20th century. Many dentists were choosing to study in America as more time and facilities were dedicated to the subject. It was felt that a society was needed to be able to devote more time and scope to orthodontics than could be provided by the existing dental societies, the British Dental Association and the Odontological Section of the Royal Society of Medicine. The driving force behind the establishing of a society dedicated to orthodontics came from George Northcroft. On 15th October 1907 he sent this letter to interested parties asking them to meet at his consulting rooms at 115 Harley Street on 21st October 1907. 12 members of the profession met that night and established the British Society for the Study of Orthodontia. J. H. Badcock was elected as President and in his Presidential address at the first meeting of the society on 22nd January 1908 stated the only requirement for membership:
Scientific journals contain articles that have been peer reviewed, in an attempt to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity.
It is published by Elsevier and is the official journal of the American Association of Orthodontists. The editor-in-chief is Rolf G. Behrents (Saint Louis University). The journal was established in 1915 and obtained its current name in 1986.[1]Previous names include American Journal of Orthodontics and American Journal of Orthodontics and Oral Surgery.[2
official journal of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontia.
On November 17, 1930, 22 members of the former Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontia met in Chicago. The purpose - "to find some way to carry forward Dr. Angle's ideals of Orthodontia." It was decided to reorganize the society which was functioning at the time of Dr. Angle's passing. A central organization was set up with four component societies, the Eastern, Midwestern, Northern California and Southern California. The Northwest component was accepted as such in March 1947.
It was at this meeting in 1930 that The Angle Orthodontist was born. Mrs. Angle was named Editor-in-Chief, and Dr. Frank Gough of Brooklyn was appointed Business Manager. The first official address before this society was given by Charles Tweed, his subject, "The History and Revision of the Arizona Law." The first scientific paper was presented by Allan Brodie, his subject, "The New Mechanism."
Currently known as:
Journal of Orthodontics (2000 - current)
Formerly known as
British Journal of Orthodontics (1973 - 1999)
Published on behalf of bos
Volume 1, Number 1 issue appeared in August, 1973. The new publication incorporates two journals: The Transactions of the British Society for the Study of Orthodontics and Th.e Orthodontist. only British journal exclusively devoted to orthodontics. The first issue was devoted mostly to articles on clinical practice.
The European Orthodontic Society decided to publish its own journal in 1979 and the European Journal of Orthodontics became the official journal of the Society. It has since become a journal of international repute
The Journal of the Indian Orthodontic Society was started by H. D. Merchant, its first Editor. He was also the founding President of the Society
Helps in evaluation impacted teeth,oral anomalies
Helps in evaluation on airway and sinus
Helps in evaluation in alveolar bone height and volume
Helps in tmj evaluation
It displays the dentition 3 dimensionally
Made of titanium alloys.
Ceamic brackets came via indirect route.
Translucent polycrystalline alumina(tpa) was developed by NASA and ceradyne,a leader in advanced ceramics for aerospace.
In 1986,a dental equipment and supply company contacted cerdyne for an esthetic material to be used in orthodontics,and hence ceramics was introduced.
It is an alternative to metal braces.
The invisible way to straigten teeth with clear aligners.
Bp was developede from the background of edgewise tech as well as begg tech.
It is not an orthodontic tech but it encompass the total orthodontic philosophy. It involves the treatment of the whole face rather than the just the teeth or occlusion.
It has got many principles and that is formulated based on four sciences”social biological clinical and mechanical”
Bboth edgewise and begg principles can be emloyed.
SLB have an inbuilt metal face which can be opened and closed.
