They include can, could, will, would, must, have to, should, ought to, need, may, might, mustn't, needn't, and don't have to. Each modal verb has specific meanings and uses depending on the context.

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 Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
4. Modals are different from normal
verbs:
• they don't use an 's' for the third person singular
• they make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she
go?')
• they are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without
'to')
5. Ability
• Can/Could – when we talk about a skill or ability
For example: She can speak six languages. My grandfather could play
golf very well. I can’t drive.
Habits
• Will/Would– things we usually do, or did in the past
• For example: John will always be late! When I lived in Italy, we would
often eat in the restaurant next to my flat.
6. Logical assumptions/Deductions
• Must – Sure/Certain that something is true
For example: You must be exhausted!
• Can’t/couldn’t – Certain that something is not true/real
For example: That can’t be John, he is on holiday in Italy at the
moment.
7. Possibility
• Can + present infinitive – General possibility, something is theoretically
possible
For example: For the main course you can have pasta or pizza.
• Could/May/Might + present infinitive – It is possible/likely, used in a
specific situation
For example: You should keep that picture, it may be valuable one day.
Note: we can use can/could/might in questions BUT NOT may. Do you think you
can/could/might fix it?
8. Obligation/Duty/Necessity
• Must – especially when the speaker has decided that something is
necessary
For example: I must help her.
• Have to – especially when somebody other than the speaker has decided
that something is necessary
For example: We have to wear a uniform at school.
• Should/Ought to
For example: We should redecorate the living room soon.
• Need
For example: Need I finish the report today?
9. Absence of necessity
• Needn’t/Don’t have to/Don’t need to + present infinitive – it is not
necessary to do something
For example: You don’t need to take the dog for a walk, I will do it.
• Didn’t need to/Didn’t have to – in the past
For example: She didn’t need to/have to pay the whole amount today.
10. Prohibition
• Mustn’t/Can’t – it is forbidden to do something, it is against the
rules/law
For example: You mustn’t/can’t drive if you haven’t got a licence.
Permission

For example: Could I leave early today? May I open the window? Can
we swim in the lake?
