Marxist film criticism is based on Karl Marx's theoretical ideas about society being defined by class struggles. Marxist critics analyze how cinema supports or subverts dominant ideologies. Films can support the ideology that individuals can change the world through hard work and good behavior, or they can attack ideology by discussing political issues or satirizing messages. Marxist critics evaluate films based on how they relate to ideology, whether directly supporting it, attacking it, operating against the grain to subvert it, appearing to endorse it but showing critique through flaws, or setting out to attack it but ultimately reinforcing it.

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.
