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. Spanish Scavenger Hunt
• This scavenger hunt makes for a great level 1 project at
the beginning of the year but really would be great for
ANY level where you want students to see that Spanish
is everywhere around them.
• It is assigned to be done completely outside of class.
• They try a Spanish beverage and food, talk with
someone who uses Spanish in their job, buy a Spanish
magazine and newspaper, discover Spanish
restaurants, businesses, streets and cities and mucho
más!
• I assigned this project within the 2nd week of Spanish 1
and gave them a month to complete. I reminded them
weekly to work on it a little at a time.
12. Día de los Muertos
• There are great hands on activities that can
be done on this holiday and it is an extremely
interesting holiday for students to
understand and compare with Halloween.
• Today you will make calaveras and a simple
ofrenda, learn about an activity that allows
the students to share their Spanish cultural
knowledge to the community and a way to
bring a taste of this holiday to the classroom
(pan de muerto).

18. Día de la Independencia
• With this holiday you can not only discuss
Mexican Independence Day, but also
Independence of several other countries
that occur around the same time.
• We will discuss celebration of various
countries, watch a YouTube video of El
Grito, act out a story of the history of
Mexican Independence Day, and make
papel picado
20. Converting Videos using Real Player
• YouTube is blocked at school but you found a great video clip you would
like to show your students in class.
• Real Player has one click video download that allows you to download
the video to your computer. www.real.com/realplayer. You can also
convert the videos to other file types (MP3, WMA, WMV etc.)
21. Vocabulario para El Cuento
• TPR Story – students act out
• sacerdote – priest • juntar – unite
• españoles – Spaniards • lucha – fight
• mexicanos – Mexicans • contra – against
• quiere – want • independencia –
• suena – sounds/rings indepencence
• la campana – bell • gana – win
• iglesia – church • muere – die
22. Communities
• Once students have drawn the story, have
them take their stories to the community
and share with other students (not in
Spanish class), teachers and family.
• Students get signatures on Community
worksheet
23. Papel Picado
• You could incorporate papel picado for
any holiday – Independence Day, Día de
los Muertos, Semana Santa, etc.
24. Milagros
• Students learn about milagros and watch a
short 1 minute video.
• Students will create a milagro to symbolize
their desire for either how they want their
future job to be, how they want their future
love to be or what they want their
family, friends and themselves to do this
summer.
• They write 3 sentences using the
subjunctive and 3 different indicators.
25. Día de Tres Reyes Magos
• For this holiday you can explain all of the
celebrations that occur in December and
January.
• You will be watching a YouTube
clip, talking about Rosca de Reyes and
making shoes and letters for the Reyes; all
activities that are great to do with your
students
28. Cinco de Mayo
• This is a good holiday to discuss with your
students so they don’t make the common
mistake of thinking it is Mexican
Independence Day
• It is a good holiday to celebrate as you focus
on celebrating the traditions and heritage of
Mexican Americans
• We will be making cascarones, but these of
course can be done for Semana Santa or any
other fiesta.
33. Food and Culture
• Students love food! Why not tie in cultural
understanding of Spanish speaking
countries and food at the same time?
• Ideas:
– Country Fair
– Holidays and Food Project
– Animoto Country Commercial
34. Country Fair
• In this project students take the
roles of travel agents for a particular country
and set up a booth with an informative
posterboard, brochure and offer samples of a
traditional food
• You can invite other classes to visit the
booths or if that isn’t possible you could split
groups in half. Having half of the groups
presenting while the other half are the
visitors. Half way through class the groups
switch roles.
37. Holidays and Food
Project
Ponche Navideño Torrijas
• This is great if you are doing a unit on holidays in
general.
• Groups are assigned to a holiday in a Spanish
speaking country in which they need to find a
popular food prepared for the holiday.
• Students prepare the food and everyone brings in
their dish on a specified day along with table tent
describing food.
• Prior to everyone eating, the groups share important
information about their holiday and discuss the dish
that is eaten on the holiday.
Pan de Pascua
38. Animoto Countries Commercials
• Students research about an assigned country and
answer 10 questions in Spanish
• Students create commercials using Animoto
highlighting important things about their country
and include pictures
• Students prepare a traditional dish for the country
and prepare samples and bring supplies to serve
(plates, napkins, etc.)
• On commercial day, students tell class what they
brought. Then at same time everyone distributes
their samples to desks. Then students sit and enjoy
their samples while watching the commercials.
39. Animoto Setting Up How To
• Create a free Educator Animoto account and they will send you a
promo code. This allows students to create videos longer than 30
seconds.
• To be sure you can monitor all activity, create a gmail account
(example: emailaddress@gmail.com) .
• Assign the students the email address but with a + and then number. For
example: emailaddress+1@gmail.com, emailaddress+2@gmail.com, etc.
• You can have the students register the accounts on Animoto website by
entering the email address you assigned and using the promo code.
• All activity at Animoto under these accounts will be sent to your
original, derivative e-mail (i.e.emailaddress@gmail.com). This
way, you'll be able to give each student a unique Animoto
account, while also being able to monitor their account's activity
40. Getting Commercial to You
• Once students complete their commercial they publish it. Then
they email you the link.
• I created a word document prior listing all pairs. As soon as I
got a link, I copied and pasted it into my word document under
the correct names.
• Prior to the period beginning, I click on all links from word
document opening in new tabs and pushed play on all to get
them buffered (make sure your mute button is on!)
• By the time students shared about food and distributed
samples, all the commercials are buffered and ready to play
one right after the other with no interruptions!
44. Kuna Yala Montage
• Show this YouTube video while students
are creating their Molas. They hear
traditional music and see authentic video.
45. Incorporating a Little Cutlure in a Grammar
Lesson
• Find a song that uses the grammar construction you are teaching and use
this to introduce the grammar point.
• Introduction: Talk about artist, type of music, etc.
• Listening: Do a fill in blank activity as students listen a few times, could then
show the music video if appropriate.
• Pre Construct: Could use the song as an introduction to a grammar point –
have students look for the pattern they see and explain it.
• Extension: Get students writing and talking or get the students moving! If
using a song that has a traditional dance (salsa, merengue, cha
cha, etc.), take some time to have students move desks to edges of class and
teach students the dance moves – you can find simple instructional videos
on YouTube to teach the basic steps so you can teach your students or you
could just hit play and have the video teach!
• http://estudiafeliz.com/category/canciones/ has GREAT worksheets focusing
on various grammar points. The music videos are already imbedded for you
AND answer key provided! Awesome! Great idea for assigning listening
homework. Students watch video at home and completes worksheet.
46. Another Idea for Incorporating
Cutlure into Grammar Practice
Tapas Project with Usted Commands
• Students are assigned to be in groups of 2-3
• They choose a traditional tapa to make at home
• They document their group making the tapas step
by step and create a PowerPoint or Snapguide of
the pictures
• In class, they show presentation while verbally
stating the commands for making recipe
• Afterward, they distribute samples of their tapa
47. Another Idea for Incorporating
Cutlure into Grammar Practice
Commands with Simple Recipe
• Perhaps you want to do something more simple with
commands.
• Choose a traditional simple recipe like guacamole, Cuban
sandwich, Salvadorian street food that can be made in class
• Have students break into groups of 2-3 and assign who will
bring what ingredients
• Either give recipe in English prior and assign for homework to
translate or give recipe day of in Spanish – on food
day, students bring their ingredients and following the
instructions (with Spanish commands) and then enjoy
48. Another Idea for Incorporating
Cutlure into Grammar Practice
Fiesta de San Fermín
• This is such an exciting holiday that you can
do a lot with it while focusing on grammar.
• Lower levels you can teach the Uno de enero
song to practice saying dates, focus on
simple descriptions using various adjectives
• Upper levels you can focus on
preterite, imperfect, future and commands
49. Gracias por venir
Thank you and I hope you
enjoy integrating even more
culture into your class!
