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.
it describes the bony anatomy including the femoral head , acetabulum, labrum . also discusses the capsule , ligaments . muscle that act on the hip joint and the range of motion are outlined. factors affecting hip joint stability and weight transmission through the joint are summarized.
How to Add Chatter in the odoo 17 ERP ModuleCeline George
In Odoo, the chatter is like a chat tool that helps you work together on records. You can leave notes and track things, making it easier to talk with your team and partners. Inside chatter, all communication history, activity, and changes will be displayed.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
5. Mode of spread of infection
1.Bone erosion
Acute infection Hyperaemic decalcification
Chronic infection osteitis(cholesteotoma,granulation)

Extracranial Mastoid Emissary Intracranial
Venous system Veins Venous system
Sigmoid
sinus
Superior and Inferior
Petrosal sinus
Thrombophlebitis
Venous Arterial
Cerebellar abscess Temporal abscess,septicemia
3.Pervascural(intra brain spread) described by Atkinson
Via Periarterial spaces of spares cortical vasculature
Robin Virchow frequent in white matter
4.Preformed pathways
Congenital dehiscences
Patent sutures
Previous skull fractures
Surgical defects
6. Oval and Round window
Spread of infection through different walls of middle wall
Extradural abscess
Subdural abscess
Meningitis
Brain abscess
Lateral sinus thrombophlebitis
Otitc hydrocephalus
Pnemocoele
Acute mastoidis
Facial nerve palsy MIDDLE EAR labrynthitis
Lateral sinus thrombophlebitis
Thrombosis of jugular bulb
7. Extradural abscess
Collection of pus between bone and dura
Occur in acute and chronic infection of middle ear.
Tegmen
Extradural
Dura
8. Common sites
1.around lateral sinus
2.opposite middle cranial fossa
PATHOLOGY
Acute bone over dura destroyed hyperaemic decalcification
Chronic bone over dura destroyed cholesteotoma
If by venous thrombophlebitis bone over dura intact
Abscess well encapsulated
Middle fossa abscess precipitates GRADENIGO,,s syndrome.
Spread from petrous apex
Result in irritation of Trigeminal ganglion and 6th cranial nerve
Otorrhoea ,facial pain and diplopia
Posterior fossa abscess associated with lateral sinus thrombophlebitis and medially limited
by internal auditory meatus.
9. Clinical Features TREATMENT
Depends on site.duration and rate of development 1.Antibiotics
Most of time incidental finding 2.Surgical -Cortical or Radical or
However suspected when Modified radical mastoidectomy
1.Persistent severe headache 3.Neurosurgical –evacuated by
2.severe pain ear removing overlying bone till
3.general malaise with low grade fever. Limits of healty dura reached.
4.Pulsatile purulent discharge.
5.Disappearance of headache with free flow of pus.
SUBDURAL ABSCESS
Collection of pus between dura and arachnoid
PATHOLOGY
Infection spread from ear by erosion of bone and dura or by thrombophlebitis
Rate of spread of abscess determines clinical and pathological pattern
Dura resistant to infection, granulation tissue formed on inner surface to localize
inflammatory reaction and eventually converted to fibrous tissue and necrosis of dura lead
to subdural compartment.
Pus spreads over surface of cerebral hemisphere and along falx cerebri
Limitation of spread provided by obliteration of space by granulation tissue
CLINICAL FEATURES
Prime is rapidity of neurological deterioration.

oedema appears over the posterior part of mastoid
Papilloedema: fundus shows blurring of disc margins ,retinal hemorrhages
or dilated vein.
23. Tobey-Ayer test:(Quenckenstedt test)
compression of each external jugular vein rise of 50 to 100 mm Hg
difference bet two sides <50 mm Hg
thrombosed side no increase in pressure
normal side rapid increase in CSF pressure
false positive if normal sinus very small/absent
false negative if collateral draining venous sinus
Crowe – Beck test :
pressure on jugular vein of healthy side produces engorgement of
retinal vein (seen by opthalmoscope) & supraorbital veins.
Engorgement subside on release opf pressure.
Tenderness on along jugular vein:
may associated enlarged & inflammed jugular chain
lymphnodes & torticolis
Investigations:
Blood smear to r/o malaria
Blood culture : causative organism
Csf examination :normal except rise in pressure
Xray mastoid: clouding of air cells-acute mastoiditis
destruction of bone –cholesteotoma
Imaging studies
