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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. Adaptation:
•A physical trait or behavior that
helps an animal or plant survive by
meeting its needs.
•Sometimes the environment
changes. Plants and animals must
change or adapt to the new
environment in order meet their
needs and survive.
3. The dinosaurs lived in warm
swampy areas. For some reason
the dinosaurs’ environment
changed and the dinosaurs were
not able to adapt to the changes.
8. There are many possible reasons why
dinosaurs became extinct—a
meteor, an asteroid that killed
plants, global climate change, etc.
9. For whatever reason, the dinosaurs
were not able to meet their needs for
food or for the right temperature and
were not able to survive.
10. They did not make the
adaptations needed to survive in
their new environment.
11. They did not make the

As a result they became extinct.
12. An adaptation is a physical trait or a
behavior that helps a living thing
survive in its environment.
• A physical trait or an inherited
behavior usually takes a long time to
develop or change.
•Whereas individuals learn many
new behaviors in a lifetime.
14. The leaves of the
acacia tree are the
giraffes’ favorite food.
Over
thousands, perhaps
millions of
years, giraffe necks and
legs have become
longer and longer.What might have been
happening in the
giraffes’ environment
that resulted in that
adaptation?
Maybe the trees were
growing taller and taller.
16. Scientists believe that at one time
giraffes had short necks and legs
They think that each generation
of trees in the areas where
giraffes lived, over millions and
millions of years grew taller and
taller.
17. Scientists believe that at one time
giraffes had short necks and legs
They think that each generation
of trees in the areas where
giraffes lived, over millions and
millions of years grew taller and
taller.
Over this long period of time
giraffes that happened to be
born taller had a better
chance of survival and
produced offspring that
would also be taller.
20. http://www.freeelephantpictures.com
The elephant
species probably
lived in the same
areas during the
same time that the
giraffe was adapting
to the taller trees.
What adaptation did
the elephant come
up with to reach
those juicy leaves
high up in the trees?
Right, his long trunk
allowed reaching the
tops of the trees.

27. Next we will look at the beaks of two different
kinds of birds. We want to see how the
development of their beaks help them survive
in their environment. The birds are:
•the hummingbird
•the pelican
28. Notice the
hummingbird’s
bill is very long
and straight,
similar to a
drinking straw.

How does this
adaptation help
it get along in
life?
30. mikebaird http://www.flickr.com
The pelican has adapted to life around the ocean.
The pliable lower part of his bill can stretch to
almost basket size. How does this help him survive?
A remarkable bird is
the pelican.
His beak can hold
more than his belly
can.
32. •An obvious example would be plants that
have developed sharp thorns that stick
out in all directions.
Plants also need adaptations in order to survive.

•Can you think of some plants that have
thorns?
Plants also need adaptations in order to survive.
37. Another example would be the kind of leaves
that plants use to meet their needs.
•Evergreen trees which grow in very dry
climates have thin needle shaped leaves
covered with a waxy substance to reduce water
loss.

studied have taken a very long time to develop,
perhaps thousands or even millions of years.

Now we will look at an adaptation that took
place with the peppered moth in England in less
than 100 years.
41. In England before the Industrial Revolution, most
of the peppered moth in the north were light
grey with little black spots. The light-
colored moths blended in with the
light-colored lichens and tree bark on which they
lived.
42. There were also a few black-colored peppered
moths at that time. However, the birds were
able to see them easily and they
were more likely to be eaten by
birds than the light colored moths.
Red circle is the white moth.
43. During the
Industrial
Revolution, th
e trees and
lichen became
covered with
black soot
from the new
coal-burning
factories.
http://www.flickr.comchapstickaddict
44. As a result the light colored moth’s stood out on
all the dark soot covered surfaces. They no longer
blended in and the birds were more likely to see
and eat them. As a result, fewer white moths
babies were being produced.
45. At the same time, the dark moths were becoming
more and more camouflaged, blending in on the
blackened trees. Birds couldn’t find them as well.
More dark moth babies were therefore being
produced.
white moth
black moth
46. As a result, over the course of many
generations, more black moths lived than
light-colored moths. By the mid-19th century,
the number of dark-colored moths has risen
dramatically and by 1895, the percentage of
dark-colored moths in the peppered moth
population was reported at 98%.
In modern times, because of cleaner air
standards in Europe, the dark-bodied moth is
becoming less frequent.
47. So far, we have discussed
adaptations that are physical traits
or behaviors that animals have
inherited from their parents.
But what about learning? Can an
animal learn new behaviors that
help them survive in its
environment?
48. • Paragon falcons nesting on high rise
buildings in New York.
Even in the short run, there are many
examples of animals meeting their needs by
learning behaviors that adapt to their
changing environment.
• Raccoon taking the lid off of a metal trash can.
• Opossum moving to northern climates.
49. This picture shows a raccoon removing the elastic
strap securing the lid on the trash can. He has
learned to meet his need for food by eating from
the garbage can. When man strapped the lid on
This is an
example of an
animal

environment.

the can, he had
to learn how to
remove it.
50. Paragon falcons historically nest on high cliffs.
Their numbers decreased due to use of pesticides
and became extinct in eastern United States.
51. http://www.lauraerickson.com by Laura Erickson
Here we see
paragon falcons
that learned to nest
on a New York high
rise building--
a prime example
of an animal’s
behavior adapting
to changing
conditions in the
environment.
To increase their numbers peregrine falcons were
introduced into cities such as New York City.
52. The opossum learned to eat man’s garbage. As a
result, the opossum has been moving farther
north each year following humans even though it
is ill equipped for cold climates. It does not dig its
own burrow so to make it through the cold
winters it uses abandoned skunk or groundhog
dens. To make the den warm, the opossum
gathers leaves into a tight bundle and then wraps
its tail around them and drags them to the den.

Electronic Naturalist
53. •The opossums moving north following food
resulted in a changed environment for them. To
survive in this changed environment, the animal
learned to adapt.
54. The main point of this lesson is that
animals and plants that are successful
(continue to survive) are those that can
make the necessary adaptations to
meet their needs.
Those that don’t become extinct.
