Tagore believed education should be a natural, student-centered process that fosters holistic development through experiential learning, intellectual freedom, physical activities, and connecting with nature. He emphasized developing students' creativity, social skills, and spiritualism over rigid book learning. Tagore integrated ideas from Indian philosophy with Western concepts to establish an educational system focused on self-realization, intellectual growth, physical development, and building universal brotherhood.

Rabindranath Tagore was influenced by his personal lifestyle. He was impressed by the ancient Indian system and there is a clear reflection of that system in his literature. Self education builds up self realization. It is assimilated in education. So a student must have self confidence. Purpose of education is to introduce one with the whole universe. So the syllabus of education is the main bearer of that culture. He was not just a mere poet or writer he was the harbinger of an era of literature which elevated him to the stature of the cultural ambassador of India. Even today, decades after his death, this saintlike man, lives through his works in the hearts of the people of Bengal who are forever indebted to him for enriching their heritage. He was the most admired Indian writer who introduced India’s rich cultural heritage to the West and was the first non European to be bestowed the prestigious Nobel Prize.

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.
