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.
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.

4. Audience Question
Snuggled cosily between the states of
Maharashtra and Gujarat, the Union Territory of
Dadara and Nagar Haveli sprawls over an area of
less than 500 sq km.
On 15th August, 1947, it was still under Portugese
rule.
With dedicated efforts, Dadara and Nagar Haveli
joined the Indian Union in July- August 1954.
A Varishta Panchayat was formed and they ruled
the enclave till June 1st, 1961.
To sign an agreement to formally include this
territory in the state of India, what role did Badlani
take on to sign an agreement with Pt Nehru?
7. Tamatoa is a giant, villainous coconut crab from Disney’s
Moana. A “beady eyed bottom feeder”, he covers his shell in
gold and other sparkly treasures in a grotesque attempt at
overcompensation. He eventually develops a crazed love for
all things shiny, and is driven into madness by this quest.
The question is simple. Who voiced the character Tamatoa in
the Hindi dub of Moana?
A man known for a similar love of the flashier side of life,
Unsurprisingly, the voice actor said that the character and
especially the song “Shiny” spoke to something within him.
1.
11. In 1882, the above obituary was published in The
Sporting Times, an Australian paper. The death it

between Australia and another country, which takes
place even today.
2.
12. So here's to Chapman, Hendren and Hobbs,
Gilligan, Woolley and Hearne
May they bring back to the Motherland,
The _____ which have no urn!
The above words were published in 1925 and are credited
with finalising the name of the ongoing series. The blanked
out word may not have actually existed, or at least, there is
no proof that it is not simply a legend.
Give me the name of the series, or the blanked out word.
15. In most countries around the world, an adult having sex with a minor is
illegal and is considered statutory rape.
In some places, however, allowances are made for special cases in
which the partners are both teenagers, for instance, if one partner is
19 and the other 17, so that young couples are not unduly penalised
for a consensual activity.
These _____ ___ ______ Clauses are named after a fictional couple
who had a rather more tragic ending than the couples that these
clauses seeks to protect would.
What are these clauses called? Bear in mind, they are named after
the most famous star crossed lovers ever to have been created.
3.
18. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, several rescue teams,
including rescue dogs and their handlers were involved in
dragging bodies out of the wreckage.
After a while though, productivity of the dogs started dropping.
To counter this, every few hours or so, handlers would hide in the
rubble and wreckage and pretend to be victims of the attacks.
Why was this done? Or, why did the dogs start being ineffective?
4.
21. The name __________ was invented by a child who was
asked to think up a name for a very big number. He was very
certain that this number was not infinite, and therefore equally
certain that it had to have a name. It was first suggested that
a __________ should be 1, followed by writing zeros until you
got tired. This is a description of what would actually happen
if one actually tried to write it, but different people get tired at
different times. The __________ was therefore standardised
as a specific number.
What is this number, which inspired the name of the
corporate headquarters of a company?
This company is a tech giant, who’s name, in turn, was also
derived from a large number.
5.
24. Albion is the oldest known name for the island of Great
Britain, and is still used poetically today.
Albion comes from the Latin word for the colour white.
This name comes from a specific geographical feature visible
from mainland Europe on a clear day, if you’re looking in the
direction of England.
What is this feature, which was also referred to in the movie
Dunkirk?
6.
28. Lady Godiva, the Countess of Mercia, went down in legend for her
selfless effort to free the people of Coventry from the oppressive taxes
imposed upon them by her husband.
According to the typical version of the story, after repeatedly entreating
her husband, he agreed to grant her request if she would strip naked
and ride on a horse through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took
him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons
should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the
town, clothed only in her long hair.
One person, a tailor named Tom, however, defied her in what is one
of the most iconic instances of voyeurism. This has given rise to a
common two word English phrase we use even today. What is this
phrase?
7.
31. The man depicted is a former President of the USA.
What ubiquitous item do we see the origin of in this political
cartoon from 1902? Guaranteed, everyone has owned this

35. ________ was a Greek mythological figure, most famous for his
eternal punishment in Tartarus.

flesh.
As punishment, he was made to stand in a pool of water beneath a
fruit tree with low branches, with the fruit ever eluding his grasp, and
the water always receding before he could take a drink.
What common English word do we derive from this legend?
The English word we derive from this legend refers to something
incredibly tempting, but which is just out of our reach.
9.
38. In the critically acclaimed series Avatar: The Last Airbender,
the main character, Aang’s spiritual leader, Monk Gyatso was
a wise old man who instilled in Aang the virtues of pacifism,
respect for all life, and love towards the world.
Monk Gyatso was, fittingly enough, named after a real person
X who fits this exact description. Gyatso is X’s surname.
In the sequel series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, another
character, Aang’s son Tenzin, is also named after this same
person. But this time, the name used is X’s first name.
Who is X? Basically, what do we better know Tenzin Gyatso
as?
10.
43. This photo of the lunar module, with Earth in the
background, is one of the most iconic images in
history.
The two people inside the lunar module are Neil
Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Every single human is captured in this one frame,
except for the photographer himself.
Who is the photographer? Bonus points for the name,
but just explaining in enough detail who the person is
will get full points.
46. The Debussy composition “La Mer” is often
considered a “masterpiece of subtlety in its rich
depiction of the ocean”.

in painting and literature..." to the physical sea.
Which extremely famous work served as the primary
inspiration for La Mer?

The city of Trier in Germany lies on the Moselle
River near the border with Luxembourg. Settled
by the Celts in 4th C. BC and conquered by the
Romans in late 1st Century BC, it contests the
tag of the oldest city in Germany.
Earlier this year, the urban planning division of

figure modelled on and what was he holding?

How did they film Odate?

Knight and Bill Bowerman was distributing shoes made by
