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”.

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.

36. Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men
of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very
religious. For as I passed along and observed the
objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this
inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you
worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
(Acts 17:22–23 ESV)
37. The God who made the world and everything in it, being
Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made
by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he
needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind
life and breath and everything. And he made from one
man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the
earth, having determined allotted periods and the
boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek
God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find
him.
(Acts 17:24–27 ESV)
38. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “‘In him
we live and move and have our being’; as even some of
your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his
offspring.’ Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to
think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone,
an image formed by the art and imagination of man.
(Acts 17:27–30 ESV)
39. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he
commands all people everywhere to repent, because he
has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in
righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of
this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the
dead.”
(Acts 17:30–31 ESV)

that have been made.

darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
(Rom 1:21-22 ESV)
Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this
age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the
wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom,

68. Case Study: Nadia
Nadia is a student at GCU from Jordan. Her family is Muslim.
They sent her to GCU because they wanted her to attend a
concservative school, where she’d not fall in with the wrong
crowd. She is studying home economics. She is engaged to
Usama, a businessman in Phoenix. Her plans are to finish GCU,
get her degree, marry Usama, and have children. Over lunch you
asked her if this is what she wants, she says “It is what I’m
supposed to do as a good Muslim.”

Chu is from Taiwan and is from a Buddhist family. He is a
barrista at Starbucks. You cant with him every time you
visit the store. He loves coffee. But he also likes to hike,
take long bike trips, meditate, do Yoga, and cook. You
asked him what he believes as a Buddhist. He responded,
“I don’t know…actually, I don’t really care!”

in a Reform Jewish household. She’s taking Eastern

Monica on Tuesdays. She is going with her family to the

church, and she actually said she’d like to come with you
one Sunday.

Nate’s father is Roman Catholic, and his mother is Yakima
Indian. Nate is from Seattle. For years, he told people he’s
agnostic. However, in his last two years at U of W, he

was to interview his mother’s Yakima family members. He
says he now prays, attends religious events with his
family, has a ritual bracelet around his wrist, and
