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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

2. 1. HS Open -concept
• Big media house invites and provides facilities
– The biggest Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat invites people,
offers working space and food
• Collaboration
– In every team there is at least one coder, journalist and a designer
• Interesting new data
– Raw data is published in easy-to-use format before the event
• One day of intense work
– The goal for each group is to make an News Application that tells a
visual story
• Best News Apps will be developed further and published
– Some of the best applications have been bought and published by
Helsingin Sanomat
3. 2. Data journalism interests also
non-journalists
Image: Google Insight ”computer assisted reporting (red)
vs. data journalism (blue)
4. 3. Who and Why
• Teams of three: journalist, coder and designer
– Journalists: asking questions, sometimes coordinating, finding
the scoop
– Coders: knowing the tools, skills for building new ones,
enthusiasm, hobby-mentality, ”know how to talk ’computer’”
– Designers: visualisation, skills for graphic journalism, last one
to step in the process, finalising the app
• Motivations:
learning tools, understanding data journalism & open data,
getting new ideas, networking / working with people one
knows, employer asked to participate, interested in data
available / outcomes, societal influence, ”a hobby”, it’s fun
and interesting, via networking new side projects, business
contacts
6. 5. Team Work: possibilities
• Learning from each other, seeing how others do their work
• Not everyone has to know everything – and only few do!
• Thinking outside the box
• Solutions created by the others usable later on
• Collaboration, developing a working culture
• Community spirit, meeting people, further ideas in ”open
bar” session
• Teams of three:
– ”Enough people for brainstorming and not too much for
making decisions.” (coder)
– ”Could be more team members, the number needs not
to be carved in stone” (designer)
7. 6. Team Work: challenges
• Time as a scarce resource
– Dividing the work so that everyone has enough – but not too
much work
– Brainstorming & planning phases short -> reflects to outcomes
– Outcomes unfinished
• Quality of data
– Dimensions for ”a good data”: usable (in proper format),
interesting, new, comprehensive
• Technology comes first, less attention for journalistic story-
telling
• Too much ambitions in the beginning of the team work
• Work processes follow each other -> not all the team
members working simultaneously
8. 7. HS Open: value for Finnish Data Journalism
• Openness enables sharing knowledge between media houses
• HS Open as a known model of doing DJ: ”an example for other
media houses”
– Leading role: ”I expect Helsingin Sanomat to take the similar role [in doing
datajournalism in Finland] than The Guardian.” (journalist)
• Further developments?
– More open data! (from government but also from media &
other business)
– Open data and data journalism walk hand in hand
– Need for up to date legislation
– How to sell data journalism for media users?
• Changing journalism: data journalism a part of that change
• Data journalism done by journalists: The ethics of journalism and
the professional ethical code in using the data
• More visibility for open data -> more transparency in the society
10. 9. Quotes for discussion
• ”It is a loss for the society if the data collected is not used.”
• ”This is the first wave of developing Finnish data journalism.”
• ”There are not so many of us who know how to do it: there is
more work for freelancers in data journalism than on other areas
of journalism.”
• ”Data journalism is a cost-effective method for doing journalism,
it provides possibilities for small media.”
• ”To understand data journalism one has to understand data and
technology. For journalists it is difficult to jump in believing that
the concept will work. And for coders it is just technology they
already know, and they just want to deliver apps for people to
use.”
• ”It is good that the leading commercial media is doing this:
Helsingin Sanomat has enough journalistic integrity to do data
journalism.”
Editor's Notes
> Eri taustaisten ihmisten törmäyttäminen (esim. toimittajilla journalistinen näkökulma), kukaan ei osaa kaikkea, mutta yhdessä osataan paljon. Hankaluuksista huolimatta koettiin positiivisena ja lopputulos on yllättävä ja hyvä. Esityksen pääpointti: eritaustaisten ihmisten "törmäyttäminen" - voimaantuminen yhdessä tekemisestä, uudenlaiset ideat, "tällaista ei pääse kokemaan työelämässä, jossa yleensä vuorovaikuttaa omien samaa työtä tekevien kollegoiden kanssa" Datajournalismi kiinnostaa muitakin kuin toimittajia!
Toisaalta ”technical solutions are usually hasty, the idea comes first”
