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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
3. Introduction:
International trade is the exchange of goods and
services between countries. International trade allows a
country to specialize in the manufacture and export of
products and services that it can produce efficiently
and import products and services that can be
produced more efficiently in other countries.
International trade theories are simply different theories
to explain international trade. Countries trade with each
other when they do not have the resources, or capacity
to satisfy their own needs and wants.
This presentation explains number of trade theories
which means why trade is beneficial for a country.
UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
4. Definitions:
‘’The exchange of capital, goods, and services
across international borders is called international
trade.’’
‘’The exchange of goods and services along
international borders is called international

6. Mercantilism (mid-16th century)
Definition
‘’Mercantilism trade theory holding that nations should
accumulate financial wealth, usually in the form of gold (forget
things like living standards or human development) by
encouraging exports and discouraging imports.’’
‘’Government of a country increase their export as compare to
import to maintain trade surplus is called Mercantilism trade
theory.’’
Theory says you should have a trade surplus.
› Maximize export through subsidies.
› Minimize imports through tariffs and quotas.
› Mercantilism views trade as a zero-sum game - one in which a
gain by one country results in a loss by another
UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
7. Theory of Absolute Advantage
Definition:
‘’Theory of Absolute Advantage contain that
countries produce only those goods in which it is
more efficient & trade those goods in which it is
less efficient.’’
In 1776, Adam Smith attacked the mercantilist assumption that trade is a zero-sum
game and argued that countries differ in their ability to produce goods efficiently, and
that a country has an absolute advantage in the production of a product when it is
more efficient than any other country in producing it.
According to Smith, countries should specialize in the production of goods for which
they have an absolute advantage and then trade these goods for the goods produced
by other countries.
In the theory of international trade, a country or firm has an absolute advantage if it
can produce a product (good or service) more efficiently (cheaply) than others.

8. An example:
Assume:
Assume that two countries, Japan & China, both have 200 labour
hours units of resources that could either be used to produce LED &
TAB
Lower labour-hours per unit of production mean lower production
costs and higher productivity of labour.
Only these two countries in the world.
Only two products TAB & LED
Trade 6 by 6
UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
9. Labour Hours Required to Produce 1 Unit of LED & TAB
LED TAB
Japan 10 20
China 20 10
Explanation:
Japan need 10 labour hours to produce 1 unit LED & 20
labour hours to produce 1 TAB.
China need 20 labour hours to produce 1 unit LED & 10 labour
hours to produce 1 TAB.
UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
10. Production & Consumption Without Trade
LED TAB
Japan 10 5
China 5 10
Total Production 15 15
UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
Explanation:
If Japan uses 100 labour hours to produce LED then he
produces 10 units of LED & he uses remaining 100 labour hours
to produce TAB then he produces 5 units of TAB.
If China uses 100 labour hours to produce LED then he
produces 5 units of LED & he uses remaining 100 labour hours
to produce TAB then he produces 10 units of TAB.
11. Production with Specialization
LED TAB
Japan 20 0
China 0 20

UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
Explanation:
According to specialization if Japan uses all resources for
production of LED he produces 20 units of LED & no TAB.
China with its specialization in TAB produces 20 units TAB by
using 200 labour hours.
12. Consumption After Japan Trades 6 Units of LED for 6 Units of China TAB

China 1 (6 – 5) 4 (14 – 10)
UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
Explanation:
This schedule shows that increase in consumption as a result of
specialization. Japan produces 20 units of LED with specialization
& he need only 10 units after trade 6 Units of LED, 4 units
remaining it is an Absolute Advantage.
This schedule shows that increase in consumption as a result of

Clearly Japan has an absolute advantage in LED
because he produces 20 LED by using 200 labour
hours & China has an absolute advantage in TAB
because he produce 20 TAB using 200 labour hours
as compare to Japan.
15. UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
Definition:
‘’A person or country who produce a good on lower
opportunity or labour cost that is called comparative
advantage’’
The theory of comparative advantage (1817) – David Ricardo asked
what happens when one country has an absolute advantage in the
production of all goods.
A trade theory which holds that nations should produce those goods for
which they have the greatest relative advantage.
The theory of comparative advantage (1817) - countries should
specialize in the production of those goods they produce most
efficiently and buy goods that they produce less efficiently from other
countries.
16. An example:
Assume:
Assume that two countries, Japan & China, both have 200 labour hours units
of resources that could either be used to produce LED & TAB
Lower labour-hours per unit of production mean lower production costs and
higher productivity of labour.

UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
Explanation:
According to specialization if Japan uses 150 labour hours to
produce LED then he produces 15 units of LED & if he use
remaining 50 labour hours to produce TAB then he produce
3.33 units of TAB.
China with its specialization in TAB produces 10 units TAB by
using 200 labour hours. Because he need 20 labour hours to
produce 1 unit of TAB.

UMAIR FAROOQ MUGHAL
Explanation:
This schedule shows that increase in consumption as a result of specialization or
comparative advantage. Japan produces 15 units of LED & 3.33 units of TAB with
specialization & he need only 10 units of LED after trade 4 Units of LED and 6.67 units
of TAB after receiving 4 units of TAB, 1 units of LED and 0.66 (7.33 – 6.67) unit of TAB
remaining it is an Comparative Advantage.
This schedule shows that increase in consumption as a result of specialization. China

Explanation:
This diagram show that if Japan use all its labour hours
to produce LED then he produce 20 units of LED & if he
use all labour hours to produce TAB then he produce
13.33 TAB. The different combinations that Japan could
produce are represented by the line JJ’. This is referred

Production Possibility Frontier (PPF).
I draw this curve on x-axis & y-axis. At 2.5, 10 & 15 curve
is join that is show the two countries production &
consumption that is show from A, B & C.
Clearly Japan has a comparative advantage in LED &
TAB because he produces 15 LED by using 150 labour
hours & 3.33 TAB by using 50 labour hours. In both
products Japan use minimum labour hours as compare
to China.
China has an absolute advantage in TAB because he
produce 10 TAB using 200 labour hours as compare to
Japan.
23. Eli Heckscher (1919) and Bertil Ohlin (1933)
‘’Comparative advantage arises from differences in national factor
endowments.’’
The extent (degree) to which a country is endowed with resources like
land, labor, and capital
The more abundant (rich) a factor, the lower its cost
Summarize the different theories explaining trade flows between nations.
Basic factors:
› Natural resources
› Climate
› Geographic location
› Demographics
While basic factors can provide an initial advantage they must be
supported by advanced factors to maintain success.
Advanced factors:
› The result of investment by people, companies, and government are more likely to
lead to competitive advantage. If a country has no basic factors, it must invest in
advanced factors.

24. The Product Life Cycle-Theory is an economic theory that was
developed by Raymond Vernon.
The product life cycle explain How trade patterns change overtime.
1960’s, Raymond Vernon attempts to explain global trade patterns.
First, new products are introduced in the United States. Then, as demand
grows in the U.S it also appears in other developed nations, to which the U.S.
exports.
Then other developed nations begin to produce the product as well thus
causing U.S. companies to set up production in those countries as well and
limiting exports from the U.S. Then it all happens again, but this time
production comes online in developed nations. Ultimately the U.S. becomes
an importer of the product that was initially introduced within its borders.
Weakness – Not all new products are created in the United States. Many come
from other countries first such as video game consoles from Japan, New
wireless phones from Europe, etc. Several new products are introduced in
several developed countries simultaneously.

26. The theory suggests that early in a products life-
cycle all the parts and labor associated with
that Product come from the area which it was
invented.
After the product becomes adopted and used
in the world markets, production gradually
moves away from the point of origin.
In some situations, the product becomes an
item that is important by its original country of
invention.
