Week #6
Chapter 16: “Profiles,” pages 191; 199-204. Write a profile of a career that interests you.

Construct a list of interview questions and take notes during the interview.
c. Check the Occupational Outlook Handbook for the career that interests you. This book put out regularly by the government contains fairly recent information about all types of jobs. Find the job you have in mind and read the profile of the job as presented in the OOH. You can google “Occupational Outlook Handbook” to find the most recent edition.

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.

2. Reflection
The week 3 assignment for this class was the Brainstorming
Worksheet. That project challenged us to think critically about
each of the courses we are scheduled to take, and consider
what we want to gain from each one. Additionally, it forced us to
look beyond graduation to what possibilities could lay ahead.
Researching mentors, internships, industry trends, and available
job opportunities really sets the groundwork for implementing
some short-term and long-term goals for ourselves.
The following timeline will document what I hope to
accomplish in my future courses, and the strategies I will use to
do that.
3. During this class, I learned what it means, and what it takes, to become a Master of
your craft, and a leader in your field. There are no shortcuts to mastery. There may
be many different paths to it, but they all require patience, perseverance, and
passion. Being a Master means maintaining an open mind to receive ideas, and the
ability to clearly and efficiently communicate those ideas to others.
Aside from that, I also wanted to acclimate myself to being a student again, and
start my program with good work habits, brush up on my grammar skills, and start
building an online presence.
