The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963. Organized by A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, with cooperation from leaders of major civil rights organizations, the march called for an end to racial discrimination and segregation and a new civil rights bill from Congress. Over 250,000 protesters gathered peacefully in Washington D.C. for speeches and music. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial. The massive, non-violent demonstration helped build support for landmark civil rights legislation in the coming years.

The early 1960s in America was fraught with fear looming over from .docxssuser454af01
The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan
Another notable musician, and also an American, Bob Dylan also helped shape the countercultural structure of the 1960's. Dylan, who is still recording music today, started o.

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.
