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.

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.

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.

1. Schrödinger equation in one dimension is
3. Bloch’s Theorem
• This is a mathematical representation regarding the form of one
electron wave function for a perfectly periodic potential function
with a period a.
• According to Bloch's theorem, the wave function solution of the
Schrödinger equation when the potential is periodic, V(x+a)=V(x) can
be written as:
Where u(x) is a periodic function which satisfies:
6. Introduction
• The free electron theory is to take into account of
the periodic potential with periodicity of the lattice.
• Periodic potential arises due to periodic charge
distribution associated with ion cores situated on
the lattice sites plus the constant (average)
contribution due to all other free electrons of the
crystal.
•For the motion of an electron in a crystalline solid we
need to write Schrodinger equation for the electrons and
find its solution under periodic boundary conditions.
•The solution of Schrodinger equation was simplified by
F. Bloch who realised the symmetry properties of the
potential in which the electron in a crystalline solid
moves.
•The potential is periodic (except close to
boundary atoms) and hence V(x+a)=V(x)
7. Kronig-Penney Model
• For electron in a periodic potential it assumes that the potential
energy of an electron forms a periodic square potentials of
periods (a+b) such that
V(x) = V0 for -b < x <0
= 0 for 0< x < a
• This model, although idealised but very useful because it
explains many useful periodic features of the behaviour of
electron-lattices.
• The wave functions associated with this model may be
calculated by solving Schrodinger equations in two regions:

• In Fig. 3, the part of the vertical axis lying between the horizontal lines represents the range
acceptable. As α2 is proportional to the energy E, the abscissa (αa) will be a measure of the energy
• Clearly there are regions for αa where the value of does not lie between -1 and +1.
For these values of αa and hence of energy E, no solutions exist. Such regions of energy are
prohibited and are called forbidden bands.
Using boundary condition we can solve it to the condition
for the solutions of the wave equation to exist

• Equation (7) is satisfied only for those values of αa for which left hand side lies between +1 and -1 this is because R.H.S
must lie in the range +1 to -1. Such values of αa will, therefore, represent the wave like solutions and are accessible. The
other values of αa will be inaccessible.
10. Energy bands in solids
:
Equation (7) has the solutions only if sin αa = 0 or, αa = n,
This is the equation of energy levels of particle in a constant potential box of atomic
dimension
This is the equation of energy levels of particle in a constant potential box of atomic dimension. The
allowed energy bands are compressed into energy levels and the energy spectrum is a line spectrum
(As in Fig.4).
The energy spectrum of the electron consists of alternate regions
of allowed energy and forbidden energy
i. The width of the allowed energy band increases as the value
of αa (i.e., energy) increases.
ii. It is to be noted that P is a measure of the potential barrier
strength.
Case 1: When P→∞, corresponding to a infinitely deep
potential well, the electron can be considered as confined into a
single potential well. This case applies to crystals where the
electrons are very tightly bound

which is appropriate to the

Case 3 : Between these two extreme limits, intermediate case,
the position and the width of the allowed and forbidden
bands for any value of P are obtained by drawing vertical
lines in Fig. 5, the shaded areas corresponds to the allowed
bands (Fig. 4 and Fig.5). Thus by varying P from zero to
infinity we cover the whole range, from the completely free
electron to the completely bound electron.
12. Classification of solids
.
A. Insulators
B. Semiconductor
C. Conductor.
A. Insulators
• The forbidden energy gap (Eg ) is greater than 3eV
• do not conduct electricity
• number of electrons is just enough to completely fill
a number of allowed energy bands.
• Above these bands there exists a series of completely
empty bands.
• At ordinary temperatures electron can’t be thermally
excited across this gap from the valence band to the
conduction band.
• As the bands are either completely filled or empty, no
electric current flow.
Solids can be categorized into three main groups on the basis of band gaps as
•The topmost filled band is known as the valence band
•The lowermost empty band known as the conduction band
•The gap between valence band and conduction band is known
as forbidden energy gap (Eg)
13. Classification of solids
.
• semiconductor exhibits an electrical
conductivity intermediate between that of
metal and insulators
• the energy gap Eg is relatively small (of the
order of 1eV).
• an appreciable number of electrons can be
thermally excited across the gap from the
states near the top of the valence band to
states the bottom of the conduction band.
Semiconductor
• As the temperature approaches absolute zero,
the thermal excitation becomes vanishingly
small and therefore all semiconductors behave
as insulators at such temperatures.
14. Classification of solids
.
• Upper most energy band is partially filled
or if the uppermost filled band and the
next unoccupied band overlap in energy,
the crystal is known as conductors (metal).
Conductor
• the electron in the uppermost band find
adjacent vacant states to move into, by
absorbing energy from an applied electric
field. These electrons thus behave as free
electrons and conduct electric currents.
•The band gap Eg of a
typical insulator, such as
diamond is about 6eV
while that of
semiconductors lies in
the range of 2 eV to
2.5eV and in conductor it
is zero
• The electrical conductivity of a metal, at room temperature,
is of order of 106mho/cm, that of semiconductor lies in the
range 103mho/cm to 106mho/cm, and that of a good
insulator is of order of 10-12 mho/cm.
15. Practice Questions

answer with diagram.
3. Writedown the Schrodinger’s equations for an electron moving in the periodic
potential V(x)=0 for 0<x<a and V(x)= V0 for –b<x<0. Solve the Schrodinger’s equations
