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.
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.

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.

1. Qualifications Framework
Developing the Lebanese Diploma Supplement
Principles and Forms Workshop
University of Cyprus, Nicocia
January 13, 2020
Presentation by: Diane Issa-Nauffal, Ph.D.
Lebanese American University
2. Overview
• What is a qualifications framework?
• Benefits of a qualifications framework
• Levels of qualifications frameworks
• Examples of qualifications frameworks
• The development of the Lebanese
Qualification Framework (LQF)
• Updating the LQF - The LQF Survey
• Main findings
3. What is a qualification framework?
“An instrument for the development, classification and
recognition of skills, knowledge and competencies along a
continuum of agreed levels. It is a way of structuring existing
and new qualifications, which are defined by learning
outcomes, i.e. clear statements of what the learner must
know or be able to do whether learned in a classroom, on-
the-job, or less formally. The qualifications framework
indicates the comparability of different qualifications and how
one can progress from one level to another, within and across
occupations or industrial sectors (and even across vocational
and academic fields if the qualifications framework is
designed to include both vocational and academic
qualifications in a single framework)”. (Tuck, 2007)
4. What is a qualification framework?
“A qualifications framework is an instrument for the
development and classification of qualifications according to a
set of criteria for levels of learning achieved… The scope of
frameworks may be comprehensive of all learning
achievement and pathways or may be confined to a particular
sector for example initial education, adult education and
training or an occupational area…. All qualifications
frameworks, however, establish a basis for improving the
quality, accessibility, linkages and public or labor market
recognition of qualifications within a country and
internationally”. (OECD, 2007, p. 7).
5. Benefits of qualifications frameworks
• Contribute to a coherent, transparent and more
integrated qualification system
• Increase access to qualifications
• Facilitate mobility and progression routes both to
higher and broader skills within education, training
and career paths
• Introduce flexibility for learners, providers and users
• Promote recognition and validation of all
qualifications including non-formal/informal learning
• Promote vocational education and life-long learning
6. Benefits of qualifications framework
• Make qualifications more relevant to societal and
labor market needs
• Promote investment and participation in skill
development in the workplace
• Serve as a tool for communication about
qualification frameworks
• Serve as a tool for regulation by creating certainty
about the value of qualifications, setting out key
requirements of qualifications and providing quality
assurance mechanism.
7. Levels of qualification frameworks
Qualifications frameworks are typically found at the:
• National level
– Australian Qualifications Framework (AUF)
– National Qualifications Framework of the UAE (QF Emirates)
• Regional level – countries in the same geographical proximity
– European Qualifications Framework (EUF)
– Pacific Qualifications Register (PQR)
• Transnational level – across countries not in the same
geographical proximity
– Transnational Qualifications Framework of 29 Commonwealth
States
11. The Lebanese Qualifications Framework (LQF)
The first version of the Lebanese Qualification Framework
(LQF) was developed in a project led by the European
Training Foundation (ETF), co-financed by the Italian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and supported by the
European Tempus HERE team in 2012.
The LQF is made up of eight levels that map onto the
existing qualifications in the country. A set of descriptors
for each level has been defined to cover the domains of
“knowledge”, ‘know-how” and “social skills”

13. Updating the LQF
• The Lebanese Qualifications Framework Survey1 was
administered in Fall 2017 to a range of stakeholders in
education and industry in Lebanon to determine their level
of awareness of the LQF, its purpose, contributions and
functions as part of the Erasmus+ TLQAA+ project
(Programme Evaluation for Transparancy and Recognition
of Skills and Competences).
• It also aimed at identifying areas of future emphasis while
developing the framework.
