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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

2. MEXICAN BULLFIGHTING
• The Spanish occupation of Mexico led to the rise of bullfighting in the country. Also known as fiesta Brava, the
sport has been one of the most popular in the country for the last 400 years.
• Bullfighting in Mexico is similar to the Spanish style of bullfighting. Matadors perform specific moves,
occasionally using a piece of red cloth, to attract a bull in a graceful manner. Typically, a bullfighting show
includes rodeos, pig chases and dances, before the bullfight begins. In the end, the bull is killed with a sword.
• Thousands of bullfighting events occur annually in Mexico. In certain areas in the country, bullfighting rakes in
huge amounts of money yearly, coming from both tourists and fellow Mexicans.
• As evidence of the popularity of the sport, the largest bullring in the world can be found in Mexico. The bullring
is known as Plaza Mexico, which is located in Ciudad de los Deports, Mexico ity. Plaza Mexico can seat around
40,000 people. It was opened on February 5, 1946. The anniversary of the opening of Plaza Mexico has been
celebrated every year thereafter with a special bullfight called the Corrode de Anniversaries.
• Of course, with popularity comes controversy. Organizations promoting animal rights have rallied against the
sport of bullfighting in Mexico. They argued that the sport was not only dangerous for the matador, but more
so for the horses and, of course, the bulls. Other actions against bullfighting were also done, such as the
establishment of humane education programs and the creation of mascot Pepe the Bull. At one point,
individuals under 18 years old were banned from watching the sport. However, fans protested by bringing their
families to watch the sport.
• Bullfighting remains prominent during the dry season, about November to March. Tickets may be bought at the
bullring. Prices for the tickets vary, ranging anywhere from $5 to $55.
3. DAY OF THE DEAD
Day Of The Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in
many cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and
remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in
Mexico, where it attains the quality of a National Holiday, and all banks are closed. The
celebration takes place on November 1–2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All
saint’s day (November 1) and All souls (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday
include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigold and the
favourite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts.
Scholars trace the origins of the modern Mexican holiday to indigenous observances dating back
hundreds of years and to an Aztec dedicated to a goddess called Matriesela The holiday has
spread throughout the world: In Brazil,Dia de Finados is a public holiday that many Brazilians
celebrate by visiting cemeteries and churches. In Spain, there are festivals and parades, and,
at the end of the day, people gather at cemeteries and pray for their dead loved ones.
Similar observances occur elsewhere in Europe, and simarly celebrations appear in many
Asian and Africa cultures.
5. THE MEANING OF THE WORD MEXICO
Explaining a word as ancient as Mexico that has been used as a word for
war, as a remember-word (tlatollotl), has lately designated a certain
territory and country is complicated. Mexico means many thing to a lot of
people over the years. Because it's a Nahunta word, its translation is rich in
symbols and in double meanings (in Nahunta a word that defines an object
can be understood in other ways, that would require a special training in
the language only the elite understood) which makes interpretation hard.
The word has life of its own and is treated with great respect.
Because of that, and to differentiate its true meaning from its current one,
the people today called with this word are ignorant of the true weight it
holds. Grandfathers gave their descendants this name to honour is, so I use
a k in Mexico to differentiate it when I am talking about the ancient
meaning of the word.
6. MEXICAN FOOD
• The staples of Mexican foods are typically corn and beans. Corn is used to make masa, a
dough for tamales, tortillas, gorditas, and many other corn-based foods. Corn is also eaten
fresh, as corn on the cob and as a component of a number of dishes. Squash and chili
peppers are also prominent in Mexican cuisine. Mexican cuisine is considered one of the
most varied in the world, after Chinese and Indian.
• The most frequently used herbs and spices in Mexican cuisine are chiles, oregano, cilantro,
epazote, cinnamon, and cocoa. Chipotle, a smoke-dried jalapeño chilli, is also common in
Mexican cuisine. Many Mexican dishes also contain garlic and onions.
• Honey is an important ingredient in many Mexican dishes, such as the rosca de miel, a bunt-
like cake, and in beverages such as balché.
• Next to corn, rice is the most common grain in Mexican cuisine. According to food writer
Kare Mesoamerican cultures knew of fermented alcoholic beverages, including a corn beer,
long before the Spanish conquest, European-style beer brewed with barley was introduced
with the Spanish soon after Hernán Cortés arrival. The arrival of German immigrants and the
short-lived empire of Austrian Maximilian I in the 19th century provided the impetus for the
opening of many breweries in various parts of the country. There are also international
award-winning Mexican wineries that produce and export wine. Hursh Graber, the initial
introduction of rice to Spain from North Africa in the 4th century led to the Spanish
introduction of rice into Mexico at the port of Veracruz in the 1520s. This, Graber says,
created one of the earliest instances of the world's greatest fusion cuisines.[2]
native to Mexico include mescal, pulque, and tequila. Beer in Mexico has a long history.
7. Mexican music
The music of Mexico is very diverse
and features a wide range of musical
styles. It has been influenced by a
variety of cultures, most notably
indigenous Mexican and European
cultures.
8. CHIHUAHUA
Several million Americans look to the northern Mexican state of
Chihuahua as their ancestral homeland. Chihuahua - with a total of
245,945 square kilometres within its boundaries - is the largest state
of the Mexican Republic and occupies 12.6% of the national
territory. In stark contrast, Chihuahua's population - 3,052,907
residents in the 2000 census - amounts to only 3.13% of the national
population.
An understanding of Chihuahua's indigenous inhabitants from the pre-Hispanic
era to the Nineteenth Century requires an imagination that dispenses with
national borders. The border of the present-day state of Chihuahua with its
neighbouring Mexican states and the American states on its north is a
creation of political entities. These borders may cause the reader to believe
that the indigenous groups from Chihuahua were unique to their area and
distinct from the indigenous inhabitants of New Mexico, Texas, Coahuila,
Sonora, or Durango.
10. CHUBACABRA
• ɾ
The chupacabras[1] (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃupaˈkaβas], from chupar "to suck" and cabra
"goat", literally "goat sucker") is a legendary cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas. It is
associated more recently with sightings of an allegedly unknown animal in Puerto Rico (where
these sightings were first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especiallThe first reported
attacks occurred in March 1995 in Puerto Rico.[5] In this attack, eight sheep were discovered dead,
each with three puncture wounds in the chest area and completely drained of blood.[5] A few
months later, in, when as many as 150 farm animals and pets were reportedly killed.[5] In 1975,
similar August, an eyewitness, Madelyn Toileting, reported seeing the creature in the Puerto Rican
town of Canóvanas illings in the small town of Moca, were attributed to El Vampiro de Moca (The
Vampire of Moca).[6] Initially it was suspected that the killings were committed by a Satanic cult;
later more killings were reported around the island, and many farms reported loss of animal life.
Each of the animals were reported to have had their bodies bled dry through a series of small
circular incisions.
• HISTORY:
• Puerto Rican comedian and entrepreneur Silverio Pérez is credited with coining the term
chupacabras soon after the first incidents were reported in the press. Shortly after the first
reported incidents in Puerto Rico, other animal deaths were reported in other countries, such as
the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Panama, Peru, Brazil, United States, and Mexico.[5]
• y in the latter's Latin American communities.[2] The name comes from the animal's reported habit
of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats.
