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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
3. Approach
a well informed set of assumptions and beliefs
about the nature of teaching and learning
4. Method
a generalized set of rules that should be followed
when teaching language
primarily concerned with the teacher and the
students’ roles as opposed to subject-matter
objectives
5. Technique
specific activities manifested in the classroom
consistent with a method and therefore in
harmony with an approach as well
6. Curriculum/syllabus
a design for carrying out a particular language
program
consists of specification of linguistic and subject-
matter objectives, sequencing, and materials to
meet the needs of a designated group of learners
in a defined context
7. Methodology
a theoretical framework
pedagogical practices in general and
considerations involved in “how to teach”
based on an epistemological stance (how do we
learn)
9. The Grammar Translation
Method
Vocabulary is taught in the form of lists or isolation
Long explanations of grammar rules
Readings of classical difficult texts
Grammatical analysis
Little or no attention to pronunciation
10. The Direct Method
Classroom instruction exclusively in
the target language
Grammar was taught inductively
(teacher is a facilitator)
New teaching points were taught
through modeling and practice
Both speech and listening
comprehension were taught
Correct pronunciation and
grammar were emphasized
11. The Audiolingual Method
New material is presented in dialogue form
Memorization
Set phrases
Drills
Tapes, language lab, visual aids
Successful responses immediately reinforced
12. Cognitive code learning
Deep structure of language
Chomsky LAD (language acquisition device)
Deductive
Conscious awareness of rules
Generative transformational grammar
13. “Designer” Methods of the
Spirited 1970s
Separation of ESL and linguistics as a field of study
Language acquisition studies based on language
learning inside and outside of the classroom
Innovative methods were conceived
14. Community Language
Learning
Language learning was visualized as a counseling
session
Rogers’s views on language learning
Avoids threatening environment
Deductive learning (when A then B, knowledge is
“transferred” from the teacher to the learner,
information according to established knowledge)
16. The Silent Way
Learning is facilitated by physical objects
Problem solving involving the material to be
learned
Rods to introduce vocabulary
Charts to introduce pronunciation models,
grammatical paradigms
17. Total Physical Response
Commands are given
Listening and acting
No verbal response is necessary
18. Krashen
Acquisition Learning Hypothesis
(learning vs. acquisition)
The Natural Order (grammatical rules
are learned in a predictable way)
The Monitor Hypothesis (checks and
monitor output of what has been
learned)
The Input Hypothesis (I + 1) a little
beyond the comprehension level
The Affective Filter Hypothesis
(motivation)
20. The Pull of Methods
Teachers want to believe that if they just do X
their students will learn language.
Students also want to believe that there is some
magic pill that if the teacher would just give it to
them, they would learn.
21. Positivist vs. critical
perspective
Postivist (or scientist) orientation:
empirical-analytic approach, claims
of objectivity, how we teach is based
on knowledge derived through
experimental research
Critical theory: all knowledge is social,
cultural, and political; produced in a
particular economic, historical
context; claims to knowledge
represent the interests of certain
individuals or groups
22. But…
Researchers still do not know exactly how we
learn a second language
Human learning can’t be reliably studied with
experimental research designs
So…we cannot produce the “magic bullet”!
23. Discussion
What is Prabhu’s problem with people saying “There is no
best method”?
What does Pennycook mean when her says that “all
education is political” and that “all knowledge is ‘interested’”
(p. 590)? Use the example of English education in Puerto
Rico (or language education in another context that you
know well) to illustrate his two claims.
What is Pennycook’s problem with the concept of Methos as
published by different scholars? (see pp. 599-606)
Pennycook argues that the concept of Method is patriarchal
(it imposes ideas developed by mostly male linguists on the
mostly female workforce of ESL teachers) and imperialistic (it
assumes that Methods, developed in the West, are the best
way to teach ESL across the world). Do you agree with
Pennycook? Why or why not?
What do you think is the relationship between method and
what teachers actually are doing (and have been doing) in
the classroom?
24. Prabhu
Best method varies from context to context
Still left with search to find the best method for a
particular context.
There is truth in every method
But which parts are true?
Objective method evaluation is impossible
