"… one crucial aspect of Morrison’s poetic scope has not been sufficiently considered: namely, the “aural” musicality of Beloved. While Jazz (1992), her next novel, as well as her third novel Song of Solomon (1977) … have been associated with musical forms of expression, this has generally not been the case with Beloved" (Eckstein 177). Eckstein argues that mnemonic design of Beloved is rooted in a dialogue with a decidedly African-American musical tradition. The novel is a perfect example of a jazz-text, as both its story and narrative discourse are largely musical in scope.

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. ABOUT CHRISTOPHER:
Christopher, a fifteen-year-old boy with an autistic spectrum condition,
lives with his father, Ed, in Swindon. His mother, Judy, died two years
ago. He is very clever, his memory is excellent and he wants to go to
university because he would like to be an astronaut or a scientist. But
he has a problem: he understands everything except other human
beings. He doesn´t understand the jokes, he finds people confusing
and he can´t tell lies. He likes Maths and “The Hound of the
Baskervilles” is his favorite book so he loves Sherlock Holmes, but he
doesn´t like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the author) because he believed
in the supernatural and Christopher thinks that all the things have an
scientific explication. He hates yellow and brown and he likes red, so if
he see five red cars in a row, it will be a super good day. There are
some special features about him.
5.
6. PLOT:
Christopher discovered the dead body of
Wellington, the neighbour's dog, speared by a
garden fork. He was hugging the dog when Mrs.
Shears, Wellington´s owner, screamed and
shouted that he let go of the dog. She called the
police and when a policeman touched him,
Christopher hit the policeman, so he was
arrested. His father, Ed, had to go to the police
station and he was released with a caution.
He decided to investigate the dog's death
despite his father's orders to stay out of other
people's business. Moreover he started to write
a murder mystery novel with his experiences.
7. Christopher thought that he would go and ask some of the other people who lived in
his street if they had seen anything strange happening in the street the night of the
murder, but the neighbours knew nothing. His father told him that he didn´t like Mr.
Shears because he was an evil man, so Christopher suspected that he had left Mrs.
Shears and he could be guilty.
One day, he went to a shop to buy something and Mrs. Alexander, a neighbour, started
to speak with him and finally told him that his mother had a relation with Mr. Shears,
which made Mr. Shears leave his wife.
8. His father found his book and confiscated it
from Christopher, after a brief fight between them.
He looked for his book and finally he found it in a
box in his father’s bedroom. He also found several
letters to him from his mother, which were dated after
she died. He took one letter and when he read it he
was confused and surprised because his mother wrote
him from London, she lived with a man called Roger
Shears and she had a new job as a secretary
After a few days, he could read more letters
because his father was working. His mother told him
that she argued a lot with his father because
Christopher had behavioral problems and she
realized that they were better without her. Then she
fell in love with Roger, so she decided to go to
London with Roger.

10. Christopher was in shock! When his father found
him in his bedroom with the letters, he told him that
he wanted to show the letters to him when he was
older. Ed confessed he told him that his mother had
died of a heart attack because he thought it was better
but in that moment he was so sorry. His father told
Christopher all the story. When his mother went with
Roger, Mrs. Shears was very considerate with them
and Ed thought she could live with them, but she
didn´t think in that way, so one day they had an
argument and he killed her dog.
Christopher, having lost all trust in his
father and fearing that Ed may try to kill
him since he had already killed the dog,
ran away. He considered different
possibilities and guided by his mother's
address from the letters, he embarked
on an adventurous trip to London,
because he wanted to live with his
mother.
11. Christopher was scared because he had
never gone anywhere alone. His fate was
London, but the trip would be an
adventure. He stole his father´s credit
card and he went to the ralway station.
It was the first time he was alone, he felt
giggy and shick so he put his hands over his
ears to block out the noise and think. He
hated lots of people so he said to himself:
“ I will walk down the tunnel and there
might be somewhere I can sit down an then
I can shut my eyes and I can think”.
12. When he was in the railway station, a
policeman came up to him. He started
to ask him many questions: “ What
are you doing here? When is your
train? Have you got a ticket? Have you
got any money to get a ticket?. He
helped him at the cashpoint.
Then he went to the ticket office and he
said to the man behind the window “I
want to go to London”. Then, he went to
Platform 1, he observed what the other
passengers did… and then he did the
same... He pressed the big button and the
doors slid open and he stepped through
the doors and he said:
“ I was on the train to London”
13. He had just stopped at London, and
he was scared bacause if the train went
anywhere else it would be somewhere
where he didn´t know anybody. To be
calm, he did some more maths puzzles.
He remembered that there was a
map of the United Kingdlom on
the wall of the classrooms at
school, he pictured it in his head
with his town, Swindom and
London.
14. He stopped in the next station. He
was completely lost, so Christopher
asked at “Information”:
-- Is this
London?
-- YES.
He wanted to go to mum´s house, so he asked for her
address:
-- How do I get to 451c Chapter Road,
London NW2 5NG, Willesden?.
--You have to take the tube to Willesden
Junction.
But he didn´t know what the tube was, so she had to explain.
15. First, he watched many people take a ticket and he
memorised what to do. Then he went to the
machine and he saw an alphabetical list of places to
go and there it was:
So he made a plan and it was to go to
Willesden Junction on the Bakerloo Line
The station was crowded and he felt really frightened
. Then, he looked up at the ceiling and he saw:
2 WILLESDEN JUNCTION 4 MIN
16. The train stopped at Willesden
Junction and he walked out of the train. He
went up to the man in a little shop and he
asked for the direction: Where is 451c
Chapter Road, London NW2 5NG?.
The man didn´t answer so
Christopher picked up a little book “
LONDON AZ Street Atlas and Index
Geographers A-Z Map Company”.
Christopher had to buy it because the
man didn´t let him touch the book.
He looked his mum’s address up on a
map in the book…
17. This was the shape of
the roads between
Willesden Junction
and Chapter Road…
And this was his
route…
18. He started walking and 27 minutes
later, he got to 451c Chapter Road, London
NW2 5NG, he pressed the button that said
Flat C and there was no one in it, so he
decided to wait for his mother.
He sat down on the ground behind
the dustbins in the little garden and suddenly
he heard voices of people walking along the
street. One of these voices was a lady´s voice
and it was his MOTHER´s voice.
He stood up and he said “You
weren´t in , so I waited for you”.
And his mother said :
“Christopher”, she put her arms around him
and “Christopher,
said
Christhoper, Christopher”.
19. They went inside the house, he followed Mr Shears and walked round
the flat to make a map of it in his head so he felt safer. The flat was
like that:
Then, he went to the bathroom to take a bath; mum came into the
bathroom, sat on the toilet and she started to ask him some questions
about these…
20. And he answered all the questions:
He explained that he had never answered her letters because he didn´t know that
she was alive. He explained that his father told him that mum was dead.
He explained the story of the dog, the book and all this mess.
21. When he was in the bathroom he heard someone at the door of the flat and there was
a strange man´s voice outside, it was a policeman who wanted to ask him some
questions.
Christopher explained that he ran away because father killed Wellington and he was
frightened of him and Mum added: “My ex-housband told him I was dead”.
The policeman said: “If your husband turns up and causes any trouble,
just give us a ring”.
When he was sleeping he woke up
because there were people shouting
in the flat, one of the people was
father and he was frigtened.
They were shouting because his
father wanted to see Christopher.
22. The next morning, Christopher and his mum went to buy some
pyjamas and Christopher said to his mum:
“I HAVE TO GO BACK TO SWINDON, BECAUSE I HAVE TO
DO MY MATHS A LEVEL “
She said that the situation was too
difficult and she had many problems
with his father so it was almost
impossible to go back to Swindon.
He was concerned about his future
exam.
23. In the end, Christopher went to the exam and
he passed it, which was the best result he had
ever had and it made him feel like this…
His parents reached an agreement
to see Christopher. He sorted out
the situation with his father so all of
them were happy.
24. Christopher thinks “ I am going to pass it an get an A grade. And in
two years´time I am going to take A level Physics and get an A
grade, and when I´ve done that, I am going to university in another
town and then I will get a First Class Honours Degree and I wil
become a scientist” .
25. Because, “ I know I can
do this because I went
to London on my own,
and because I solved
the mystery of Who
Killed Wellington? And
I found my mother and
I wrote a book and that
