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.

3. Geography of Europe
Oceans, seas, and rivers provided transportation, made it easier to trade,
separated some areas, and provided protection.
Mountains separated some areas as well.
4. Kingdoms in Western Europe
After Rome fell, Western Europe broke into many kingdoms.
The Angles and Saxons invaded Britain from Denmark and Germany. They
became known as the Anglo-Saxons, or the English.
5. The Church and Its Influence
The Roman Catholic Church became very important during the Middle
Ages.
Monks became missionaries and spread Christianity over the next several
hundred years.
6. The Feudal Order
Under feudalism, nobles ruled and protected the people. In return, the
people worked for the nobles.
They fought in the noble’s army or farmed the noble’s land.
Feudalism was based on loyalty and duty.
A lord was a high-ranking noble who had power. A vassal was a low-
ranking noble who served a lord. The lord rewarded him with land. The
land given to a vassal was called a fief.
Many vassals were knights, or warriors in armor who fought on horseback.
7. The Medieval Manor
The lord ruled the manor and peasants worked the land.
There were two groups of peasants: freemen and serfs.
Freemen paid nobles for the right to farm land; had rights under the law;
and could move when and where they wished.
Serfs could not own property or go to court; could not leave or marry
without permission; had to give part of their crops to their lord; and at first
could not buy freedom.
8. The Growth of Towns and Cities
As trade increased, towns grew and many cities became wealthy.
Towns were usually built on land owned by nobles.
Trade encouraged people to make things. Soon these craftspeople
organized guilds, or business groups.
The streets were narrow and often dirty and smelly. If a fire started, a
medieval city easily could be destroyed.
9. Royal Power in England
When Vikings attacked Britain, King Alfred of Wessex united the Anglo-
Saxons to drive away the Vikings. Alfred’s kingdom became known as
“Angleland,” or England.
William was the ruler of Normandy and a cousin of the king of England. In
1066 William and his army invaded England and won the Battle of
Hastings.
William then became king of England. He was known as William the
Conqueror and became a powerful ruler.
10. Henry II ruled England from 1154 to 1189.
He set up a court system with lawyers and judges.
This helped create a body of common law, or law that was the same
throughout the whole kingdom.
11. Henry’s son John became king of England in 1199.
King John raised taxes. He also punished enemies without trials.
12. Monarchy in France
In 843 Charlemange’s empire was split into three parts. The western part
became the kingdom of France. In 987 Hugh Capet became king, but he
controlled little land.
13. Philip II became king of France in 1180. He took back land from England
and gave French kings more power.
Philip IV was called Philip the Fair. He met with people from different
classes of French society.
14. Eastern States of the Slavs
A people called the Slavs organized villages in Eastern Europe.
In the 800s, the eastern Slavs began to expand the city of Kiev. The state
of Kievan Rus grew around the city. About 1240, Mongols from Central
Asia conquered Kieven Rus.
Many Slavs left and founded the city of Moscow in present-day Russia.
Leaders in Moscow would expand their territory.
15. In 1462 Ivan III became the ruler of Moscow.
Ivan called himself a czar, Russian for “emperor.”
By 1480 he had driven the Mongols out of Russia.
16. European Crusaders
In 1095 Pope Urban II asked Europe’s lords to launch a crusade, or holy
war, to take Jerusalem from the Muslim Turks.
Thousands of soldiers left western Europe to join the First Crusade.
After many more crusades, Muslims won back all of the territory they had
lost.
17. In the First Crusade the crusaders captured Jerusalem and formed four
Christian states.
In the Second Crusade Muslims recaptured Jerusalem.
In the Third Crusade Muslims kept Jerusalem.
In the Fourth Crusade the Crusaders attacked the Byzantine capital.
During the Fifth-Tenth Crusades Muslims recaptured all lands held by the
Crusaders.
18. The Crusades changed Europe.
They caused bitter feelings between Christian western Europe and the
Muslims.
19. European Culture in the Middle Ages
By the 1100s, people in medieval Europe felt safer because of stronger
governments.
Church leaders, merchants, and nobles had cathedrals, or large churches,
built.
Universities were first created during the Middle Ages.
20. Religion Affected Society
Beginning in the 1000s, a wave of religious feeling swept through Europe.
As a result, new groups of priests, monks, and nuns were formed.
The Cistercians were founded in 1098. They farmed land, worshiped, and
prayed. They invented new ways of farming that helped grow more crops.
They also helped the poor.
The Franciscan Friars were founded in 1209. They went out into the world
to preach and lived by begging. They could not own anything and they
loved nature.
The Dominicans were founded in 1216. They went out into the world to
preach and lived by begging. They defended church teachings and studied
for years.
21. The Catholic Church affected almost every part of people’s lives.
On Sundays and holy days, people went to mass, which is the Catholic
worship service.
The Catholic Church used its power to try to stop heresy, or religious
beliefs that did not agree with Church teachings.
Churches would send friars to preach to heretics, put heretics on trial in
Inquisition court, tell convicted heretics to confess, allow confessed
heretics to beg forgiveness and return to the Church.
They would also punish heretics who would not confess by casting them
out of the Church. Punishment could mean losing property, going to prison,
or being executed.
22. Many church leaders and church members also practiced anti-Semitism, or
the hatred of Jews.
23. Famine and Plague
In the 1300s, disaster struck western Europe.
There was a seven-year famine and a terrible plague.
The deaths of so many people hurt Europe’s economy.
24. Divisions in Religion and Politics
From 1378 to 1417, the Church was divided by disputes over its
leadership. This argument was called the Great Schism.
In 1417 a council of church officials chose a pope that everyone agreed
on.
25. In 1337 English king Edward III claimed to be king of all of France. He
invaded France, beginning a war between England and France that lasted
more than 100 years.
The English won two important battles, at Crecy in 1346 and at Agincourt
in 1415. They had better weapons than the French: longbows and an early
form of the cannon.
26. In 1429 a French peasant girl named Joan visited Prince Charles of
France.
She told him that saints had spoken to her and wanted her to free France.
He let her lead a French army.
Joan’s faith inspired the French soldiers, and they took back the city of
Orleans from the English.
27. Shortly after, Charles was named king and the English captured Joan.
She was burned at the stake. She later became known as Joan of Arc, a
French national hero.
28. The French finally defeated the English in the Hundred Years’ War.
