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.

Ethical Terms
Today we will :
• Know some key terms about ethics
• Consider what we mean by “good”
• Be able to consider what is + and –
about certain ways of ethical thinking
7. Subjective and Relative
The current prevailing opinion in this country
(the prevailing philosophy) is that morality is:
Subjective: a matter of opinion, or a matter of taste.
Or:
Relative: the expression of a social or cultural norm.
8. Subjective Morality
An example: Joe thinks it’s immoral not to vote in
a general election. Jenny thinks that voting is a
joke, a waste of time, and nothing to do with
morality.
“The prevailing philosophy” of our time is that
both are right; you can make your own decisions
about what’s right and wrong. It’s a matter of
opinion.
9. Relative morality.
In the United Kingdom it is considered wrong to
dump rusty scrap metal, oil and asbestos on the
beaches.
In parts of Asia, old ships are dismantled on the
beaches, leaving behind rusty scrap, oil and
asbestos.
A relativist would say that “they have different
standards” because of their culture. It’s OK
there, but not here.
10. Absolute Morality
Something is always right or always wrong
There is an external set of moral principals
Example Ten Commandments
Murder ? Stealing ? Adultery ?
(Teach Yourself page 7)
11. What is Good ?
What is good conduct or behaviour ?
2 principles :
a) Certain types of conduct are good in themselves
Final value or result – a completion
summum bonum
b) Certain types of conduct are good because they
conform to a particular moral standard
12. What is Good ?
Philosophers propose 3 principal standards of
conduct :
i) Happiness or pleasure
ii) Duty – virtue or obligation
iii) Perfection – the fullest harmonious development
of human potential
13. What is Good ? - Authority
Ideas of “Good” come from :
X) The will of a deity
obey scripture as the standard of conduct
Y) The pattern of nature
acceptable standards for human nature
Z) The rule of reason
best behaviour is the result of rational thought
14. Autonomy
A person can choose their own actions
How free are you ? What limits your choice ?
Law
Circumstances of a person’s life
May have limited knowledge of choices
Social tradition
Autonomy of other people
Personality, age, background
15. Descriptive Ethics, Prescriptive Ethics & Meta-Ethics
Descriptive Ethics
describes the way we live
Presents facts or moral choices
What is the case ?
Prescriptive Ethics
how a person should live or behave
What ought to be the case ?
Meta – Ethics – analytical ethics – concerned with
language and definitions. Meaning of moral discussion.
16. Intuitionism
There are so many ethical theories and ideas that we
need to grasp moral principals by our own intuition
17. Emotivism
Emotivists argue that ethical words and sentences merely
express people’s attitudes and feelings which generate
feelings in other people.
Pacifist says war is murder
Politician says war is necessary
Pacifist – War = boo !!
Politician – War – hurray !!
Moral statements just express emotion.. . . .
AGREE / DISAGREE ???
18. What do you Remember ???
Subjective
Relative
Emotivism
Virtue
Summum bonum

20. STARTER Absolutist Recap
An absolutist says an immoral act is intrinsically
wrong, which means wrong in itself.
The thing is not made wrong by the situation or the
result it causes. It is wrong because the act in itself
breaks a moral rule.
a) Do you think there is something we can compare
ourselves or our actions to ?
b) Think of a moral rule you keep but there are no
consequences or reward. Why bother ?
