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.

4.
5. What it Is
IGDA Scholarships get students into the
most prominent industry events.
Scholarships include:
• Highest pass to the event
• Mentorship
• Studio tours
6. What it Isn’t
• IGDA Scholarships are not:
Money towards tuition
A random drawing
A cash prize
7. Why Scholarships are Awesome
• It’s a tremendous honor!!!
• Get the ultimate access to conferences
• Make amazing new friends from all over
8. Scholarships are Awesome +1
• Connect with tons of insightful
professionals in your field
• Discover unique opportunities
• Overall have a unique experience you’ll
never forget
11. Applying
Qualifications
• Meet the application deadline!
• Full-time undergraduate, graduate or
doctoral students are eligible
• Must be at least 18 years old at event date
• IGDA member in good standing
12. Applying
Considerations
• Be realistic
o You may apply for multiple scholarships
o You are responsible for travel,
accomodations, food, etc.
• Supply and Demand
o Limited number selected for each
o GDC will inevitably receive the most
applications and be the most competitive
13. Anatomy of an Application
• All of your basic info
• Short essays (250-500 words each)
14. Anatomy of an Application
• Topics have included:
– How do you volunteer in the game
development community?
– How do you volunteer outside of game dev?
– Why do you think it’s important for developers
to help other developers?
15. Anatomy of an Application
– Describe a game project and what you
learned.
– Career Goals.
– What is a specific initiative you’ve taken for
your professional development?
16. The Judging Process
• Applications are collected and judged by
industry professionals
• Each judge receives a group of
applications, reviews them, ranks them,
and returns the results
• Little by little, applicants are whittled down
to the best and brightest
18. Luke Dicken
Scotland, United Kingdom
• Don't undersell yourself.
• Your achievements may
seem boring and dull to
you, but they are often so
much more and you don't
realise.
• Take pride in your
achievements and
showcase them in your
application.
19. Luke Dicken
Scotland, United Kingdom
• Apply even if you don't think you will win.
– If you don't win, learn from it and try to
become the kind of student who will win next
time.
• If you do become a Scholar CAPITALISE
ON IT
• The Scholarship isn't a golden ticket to be
experienced, it's an opportunity to be
seized.
20. Rebecca Fernandez
New South Wales, Australia
• Sit down and think about WHY
you want to go to the event.
• I wanted to go because I'd just
started my own company and I
wanted to make contacts and
learn as much as I could about
the industry.
• Wanting to go just so that you
can hang out with "cool" game
devs isn't really a reason.
21. Rebecca Fernandez
New South Wales, Australia
• Being able to show that you have initiative
is really important. Getting involved in the
local and/or online games community will
really further your application.
• Volunteer for things!
22. Rob Martin
Ontario, Canada
• I would not be where I
am today without the
IGDA Scholarship
Program.
The relationships and
contacts I made during
my scholarship have
directly led to my
current employment at
Ubisoft.
23. Rob Martin
Ontario, Canada
• Get on Twitter. It has the ability to put you in
direct contact with people you would normally
never of had the chance to meet. Start
following and interacting with the IGDA
community. It can be a great ice breaker and
may give your application or name a
"familiar" feeling.
At the same time, be careful on how you
represent yourself online. Don't say or post
things that you'll regret later or things that
make you look like an idiot. Expect that the
person reviewing your application will google
you.
24. Rob Martin
Ontario, Canada
• Get involved in your city's game development
community. Go to game jams, join an independent
project and volunteer at events or conventions.
These are things any prospective game developer
should already be doing. Volunteer work goes a
long way on an application.
• Talk about some of your interests outside of video
games. If you didn't like video games, you wouldn't
be applying for the scholarship. It's okay to talk
about some of your other interests. Maybe you're
in to competitive wrestling or extreme
barbecuing?, talk about it. It shows you're a
balanced person.
25. Kyle Rentschler
New York, United States
• Make it clear to the judges that
the way you think about games
has the potential to change
games at large for the better,
and that you're passionate
about games.
• There's "thinking" about games
versus truly THINKING about
games, and "loving" games
versus truly LOVING games,
and it's best if you don't come
across as just another fanboy
who merely "thinks" and "loves"
in only the most superficial
ways.
26. Kyle Rentschler
New York, United States
• Answer EVERY question, whether it's
optional or not. And don't just put a couple
of sentences, but, if you can, use up all the
space they give you.
• Check for errors! If your essays are riddled
with grammar and spelling mistakes, it will
be held against you.
27. Nicholas Cassleman
