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 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.

at the time, an elegant compilation of beautiful
verses and photos. Condé Nast inherited his high
society vision from his French mother and it helped
him get to know the target audience of his new
magazine and its demands. As a result, Vogue
became a raving success in the US.
Conde Nast reports 15.5% in pre-tax
profits.
Condé Nast International is the international arm of
the New-York based publishing company which

Etc….
The company was founded as Future Publishing in Somerton, Somerset in 1985 by Chris
Anderson with the sole magazine Amstrad Action. An early innovation was the
inclusion of free software on magazine covers, the first company to do so.
Anderson sold Future to Pearson PLC for £52.7m in 1994, but bought it back in 1998,
with Future chief executive Greg Ingham and Apax Venture Partners, for £142m. In
2001 Anderson left Future.
The high-end magazine publisher's pre-tax profits fell for the second year in a row – profits have
halved since 2011– with much of the blame due to investment in its fashion and design college
and information technology.
Turnover at the company, which publishes a range of titles including Tatler and Vanity Fair, fell
by just over 6% to £109.95m.
Future Publishing has reported the first profit at its struggling US business in seven years, as the
embattled media owner cut total pre-tax losses to £1.3m in the half year to the end of March.
Future, publisher of a portfolio of websites and magazines including T3, Gizmodo and Total Film, also
reported that 50% of its revenues now come from digital and diversified businesses.
The company, which reported a £35m loss and cut more than 400 staff last year, said that the
transformation of the struggling print-focused business into a digitally diversified content business is
now almost completed.
Adjusted profits – earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items – were
£1.8m in the six months to the end of March
