What is “law”?
Where is “law” created?
In this section of the presentation, we will discuss WHAT IS A LAW and how laws are created in Canada
Canadian Legal System
Canada has a dual system.
Law is created by
The government
Legislation and regulations
Created at federal, provincial and municipal levels
The courts
The courts create laws known as Common Law
Voice: It’s important to understand that in Canada we have a dual system of law, meaning that law can be created by the government at all levels, and additionally, the courts can create law in Canada. If a law is in dispute, the court will rule on it creating what is known as a “common law” which is just a binding as law created by government. FYI: The Supreme Court of Canada (Ottawa) is the highest court in Canada
Law in Canada that is created by the courts is referred to as “common law;” that is to say that common law is created when legislation or regulations are not clear or are in dispute and the courts have to make new ruling creating updated or new law.
Judges are asked to make decisions on these issues and those decisions become “common law”
Judges must follow the precedent (decisions) of judges at the same level or higher
5
Government Law
Government-made law is often referred to using the terms:
Legislation
Regulation
Act
Statute
Code
The Canadian Human Rights Act is one of our most important bodies of law
Voice: Government law can be made by:
The federal government
The House of Commons
The provincial government
The Ontario Legislative Assembly
The municipal government
Toronto City Council
Agencies given the power to create regulations
Toronto Public Health; Alcohol and ...

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.
