This document discusses narrative techniques used in psychological thriller trailers to create enigmas and mysteries for audiences. It notes that trailers typically use close-up shots, handheld cameras, montages and fast editing to restrict information and generate uncertainty. Voiceovers and flashbacks are also employed to develop the narrative in a nonlinear way and confuse viewers. Both restrictive and unrestrictive approaches are utilized to provide some context and clues while still leaving audiences wanting resolution in the full film.
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.

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. Narrative conventions
• Typically, there are a lot of medium and close up shots used
and sometimes, the use of a hand held camera to restrict
certain information and create enigma and mystery.
• The use of montage and fast pace editing is used to create
a puzzle and build up tension at the uncertainty and
mystery of the scene shown in the fraction of a second.
• Non-diegetic voiceover-could be the voice in their heads,
also if we have not yet been introduced to the character
makes the audience question who they are.
• Flashbacks are also used to help clarify and develop the
narrative.
4. Narrative structure
• The non-linear narrative structure of this
genre is to confuse the audience a little, so
they are more desperate to find out what
happens in the film.
• Flashbacks are also used to help clarify and
develop the narrative.
• There is an equilibrium and disequilibrium,
but there is no new equilibrium as this part
will be revealed in the actual film.
5. Restrictive narrative
• Predominantly restricted narrative is used as
the audience are left not knowing what
happens to the main character at the end of
the film.
• The use of close up shots of hands or little
actions done by the main character hide the
identity of the actual character.
• This also creates enigma for the audience.
6. Unrestrictive narrative
• Unrestricted narrative structure is used to
display the location and environment of the
film to the audience and show little
clues/hints to the identity of a character.
• Titles are also used to reference the past or
explain the current situation so the audience
have a better understanding.
• This can also be done through voiceovers.
7. Enigmas for audience
• What is the meaning of the signs/hints?
• Who is the killer?
• Does the killer get caught?
• What persuades/makes the killer kill?
8. How they create enigmas?
• Through the use of fast pace editing- the
build of tension and the limitation of time on
the shots is how enigmas are created.
• Flashbacks- another way of creating enigma,
as it encourages the audience to try and piece
out the information they’ve been given from
their own interpretations.
9. How does this connect to the
expectation/ conventions of the genre?
• Psychological thrillers are generally expected
to be thrilling through its fast pace.
• The location is conventionally set in
modern/urban settings and mostly in an
abandoned or inhabited city.
