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”.

10. The computer as we see it today is a result of extensive
research and development through the decades. The brief
history of its evolution are outlined below. There are
totally five computer generations known till date.
First-generation computers used vacuum tubes and
values as their basic electronic component. They were
extremely large in size and electricity consuming. Some
of the first-generation computers are: ENIAC (electronic
numerical integrator and calculator) – it was built in
1946 at the university of PENNSYLVANIA, U S A by
JOHN ECKERT and JOHN MAUCHLY

9049606503
11. Second generation: 1959-1965 [Transistor based]: In
the generation of computers, transistors were used in place of vacuum
tubes. Transistors are more compact than vacuum tubes as they are made
up of semiconductors. They are also more durable than vacuum tubes. Its
size was used smaller as compared to the first-generation computers and it
was used mostly for scientific purpose. IBM 1401- IT was used for was
business application. CDC 3600- IT was used for scientific purpose.
Third generation: 1965-1971 [Integrated Circuit
based]: PDP – 8 -Developed by DEC in 1965. IBM- 360- Developed by IBM
in 1964. In the third generation of computers integrated circuits (ICs) began
to be used. These ICs were called chips. These ICs are more compact than a
transistor. Single ICs has many transistors, registers and capacitors. So the
computer built of such components became smaller
MULE VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE –
9049606503
12. Forth generation: 1971-1980 [VLSI microprocessor based]:
The computers of fourth generation used Very Large Scale Integrated
(VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit
elements and their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to
have microcomputers of fourth generation. Fourth generation computers
became more powerful, compact, reliable, and affordable. In this
generation time sharing, real time, networks, distributed operating
system were used. All the high-level languages like C, C++, DBASE etc.,
were used in this generation. Some CRAY-X-MP (Super Computer) CRAY-
1(Super Computer) PDP 11 STAR 1000 of the computers developed during
this period are DEC 10.
Fifth generation: 1980-onwards. [ULSI microprocessor
based]: In the fifth generation, the VLSI technology became ULSI (Ultra
Large Scale Integration) technology. All the high-level languages like C and
C++, Java, .Net etc., are used in this generation.

processor. A CPU is brain of a computer. It is responsible for all functions and
processes. Regarding computing power, the CPU is the most important element of a
computer system. The CPU is consisted of thin layers of thousands of transistors.
Each transistor receives a set of inputs and produces output.
The two typical components of a CPU include the following: Arithmetic Logic Unit
(ALU)
There is electronic circuitry in arithmetic logic unit which executes all arithmetic and
logical operations. Its function is obvious from its name. It performs arithmetic
calculations like as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as
comparisons. The unit can compare numbers, letters, or special characters.
Control Unit(CU) There is circuitry in the control unit which uses electrical signals to
instruct the whole computer system for carrying out or executing, already stored
program instructions. Its name clearly shows that it controls and co-ordinates
computer components.

25. Computer memory is any physical device capable of storing information
temporarily or permanently. Computer memory is used for storing your files on
the computer. Without computer memory, you wouldn’t be able to save any
files.
Types of Memory –
Memory can be divided into two types –
1. Volatile memory (Primary Memory) –
Volatile memory temporarily stores the data. It loses data as soon as the system
supply is turned off.
2. Non-volatile memory (Secondary Memory).
Non-volatile memory stores data permanently. It does not lose the data even if
the system supply is turned off. There are several types of Secondary storage
devices for computers.
These storage devices offer a wide range of storage options –
MULE VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE –
9049606503
26. • Floppy Disk – 1.44 MB
• CD (Compaqt Disk)- 700 MB
• DVD (Digital Video/Versatile Disk) – 4.7 GB
• BD (Blue-Ray-Disk) – 25 GB
• Hard Disk
• Pen Drive
• Memory Card
Further, memory is classified into physical memory.
• Physical Memory – Physical memory is the total amount of memory
installed in the computer. For example, if the computer has two 1GB
Memory modules installed, it has a total of 2GB of physical memory.
The different types of physical memory are:
• RAM – Stands for Random Access Memory. It temporarily stores the
data and it is a volatile memory. Once the system turns off, it loses the
data. RAM is used as a temporary data storage area.
MULE VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE –
9049606503
27. Types of RAM- RAM is the main memory of the computer. It holds the data until the system
is turned off. Once the system is switched off, the data is lost. As a result, it is known as the
temporary data storage area. There are two types of RAM, Static RAM and Dynamic RAM
MULE VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE –
9049606503
28. 1. SRAM – Static Random Access Memory
2. DRAM – Dynamic Random Access Memory o SDRAM – Synchronous Dynamic RAM.
o RD RAM – Rambus Dynamic RAM
o DDR1 RAM – Double Data Rate 1st RAM
o DDR2 RAM – Double Data Rate 2nd RAM
o DDR3 RAM – Double Data Rate 3rd RAM
Different types of DRAMs which are used in a desktop are:
• ROM – Stands for Read Only Memory. It stores the data permanently and it is a non-volatile
memory. It does not lose the data even after the system turns off. As a result, ROM is a
permanent data storage area.
The different types of ROM are:
1. PROM – Programmable Read-Only Memory
2. EPROM – Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
3. EEPROM/Flash ROM – Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
4. Flash Memory –Flash memory is the high-density device. It is a non-volatile memory. It is fast
in reading and writing data.

29. 1.6 Concept of Hardware and
Software-
When we think of a computer, we
generally picture computer hardware:
the monitor, the keyboard, and the
electronic circuitry contained within the
rectangular case. There is more to a
computer than this, however. The
missing element is software–the
instructions that tell the computer how
to operate the hardware. All computers
must have these two components to
function.
MULE VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE –
9049606503
30. 1.6.1 Hardware
Hardware refers to the physical elements of a computer. This is also sometime
called the machinery or the equipment of the computer. Examples of hardware in
a computer are the keyboard, the monitor, the mouse and the processing unit.
However, most of a computer’s hardware cannot be seen; in other words, it is not
an external element of the computer, but rather an internal one, surrounded by
the computer’s casing.
A computer’s hardware is comprised of many different parts, but perhaps the
most important of these is the motherboard. The motherboard is made up of
even more parts that power and control the computer.
1.6.2 Software
Computer software is a set of instructions and documentation that tells a
computer what to do or how to perform a task that’s called Software. There are
different types of software depending on the requirement of user or Computers.
Software mainly falls into two general categories:
1.6.2.1 Application software
Applications software (also called end-user programs) include such things as
database programs, Word processors, Web Browsers and spread sheets
