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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

It’s quite normal to feel lost sometimes. SELCS and its staff are here to help.
All information about your studies is available from Moodle and the SELCS website. If you are unsure about something, check first with your departmental coordinators.
There is also your personal tutor. You have been allocated to one member of staff who gets to know you, who keeps an eye on your overall academic progress and who is concerned for your general welfare. All tutors are academics from SELCS and all of them will be able to give you advice. In particular, they will be able to explain how your Department’s degree works they will know the precise roles of other School and departmental staff who share responsibility for students’ academic progress and general welfare and they will be able to refer you to the appropriate welfare services provided by UCL if needed.
So if you are unsure, or experience a problem, whatever it is, please do contact your personal tutor in the first place.
When you’re in a panic of finishing a coursework essay, it can be quite tempting to miss a few classes. Please note that here again UCL is very strict. UCL has a responsibility to ensure that all students are attending regularly and progressing with their studies. This takes the form of an Attendance monitoring process, through which we are tracking your attendance.
If you miss a certain amount of classes, you will need to provide documentation. It is just not enough to say to your teacher, that you had a headache but did not bother to go to your GP. That won’t do.
UCL’s minimum requirement for engagement is 70%. We start enquiring after two or more classes missed.
If your attendance falls below 70%, in a particular course, you will automatically be barred from the exams of this particular course. You will receive a very official barring letter, and you will be asked to meet me urgently. Now the barring can be lifted under certain conditions. You will need to provide some explanation regarding your non attendance, and you will have to sign a learning agreement specifying the conditions under which the bar would be lifted. If you receive a barring letter, by all means, keep attending everything, as the bar may still be lifted; and book an urgent appointment with me.
