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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. I included a number of generic features in my poster, to not
only make a good poster but so people viewing it will know the
film is a horror, and not a comedy for example. One of the main
features is the spooky photo, I took an extreme close up of our
villain looking very creepy, a lot like the poster for the film
‘Contracted’ (2013). The reason I done this is because the
audience will almost feel intimidated
by Caitie’s face and they’ll automatically
know what kind of film this poster is
advertising. When taking the photos, one
thing I noticed straight away is that there
isn’t much colour, mainly black and white
which I thought looked great because it
almost connotes the darkness of the film and
how scary it will be but I really wanted a bit
of red on the poster. I chose to colour in
Caitie’s lips in a blood red colour to give the
connotation of danger and fear. I think this
works really well as not only does it have a
hidden meaning, but it sticks out from far
away, which is likely to draw an audience in. Another generic
feature I used was a creepy font. I used a website called DaFont
to get the cool typewriter font. I thought this font worked really
well with the rest
of my poster as it looks quite sinister and connotes that this horror film is a real
story as it would have been documented on a typewriter. My favourite font was the
font I used for the characters names and the ‘coming soon’. This looks very
paranormal as it is shifty, like a ghost. A lot of psychological horror films use this
style of font, like ‘Grave Encounters’ (2011).
3. This photo of Joe is one of him dressed up to look like a classy
director, as my magazine is aimed at a more classy audience
rather than the typical middle class audience that read the
popular film magazines like Total Film and Empire. With the
photo I used chiaroscuro to show that this addition of my
magazine is one about horrors, which goes along nicely with all
of my cover lines. Obviously every magazine has a barcode,
date, prise and issue number so I added these in places that
other film magazines would. One thing that I made sure I done
was to cut Joe’s head out using the magnetic lasso tool and
then paste the head on a new layer above my masthead so I
could put the
masthead behind his head, like a lot of
popular magazines do, especially Total Film
and Empire. This gives the readers a sense
of exclusivity, that they know something
that a random reader wouldn't, especially
because they know what the masthead
says,
which is quite difficult to read with Joe’s head in the way.
All the colours and fonts used in my magazine cover are
very similar so I can keep up a sophisticated house style.
I also added two graphics on the bottom left hand side.
This was my horror poster and another member of my
groups horror poster. I added these to give the reader
another reason to buy the magazine as not only are the
getting a magazine full of fun and useful
information, they’re getting free posters. A lot of
magazines do this, from music magazines, to wildlife
magazines. You can see that Total Film also do this as this
is a popular demand from regular readers.
4. Both of my ancillary products go together well. They are both for a
more mature and classy audience and I think they compliment each
other well. Although the target audience for my trailer is
predominantly lower class young adults, I feel that the high class
audience would enjoy it as well. I think my trailer and ancillary
products are quite similar to ‘The Woman in Black’ and the target
audience for that was both higher and lower class.
The certificate for ‘Lullaby’ is a 15 as when doing our research, we
found that most psychological horrors were a 15 certificate and we
didn’t feel like we had enough gore/violence in our film to make it an
18. Also, the 3 years between the ages of 15 and 18 are very
important as a lot of our audience would be around this age and
they wouldn’t be able to go see it at cinemas, which does not only
lose us money, but it also upsets our target audience. For my
poster, I didn’t want to make anything too scary but I also didn’t
want to make it too mild so I think the use of chiaroscuro along with
the scary photo works perfectly and ties in well with my 15
certificate. My magazine was different as I didn’t want to make a
scary magazine as it wasn’t just about horrors, it also includes other
genre’s of film so I avoided the scary side of it and just went for the
stereotypical magazine look.
Like most horrors, the target audience isn't the mainstream.
Although horrors are enjoyed by a lot of people, they don’t have a
