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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Despite a number of significant achievements, architecture in North Macedonia in the early Middle Ages, compared to the
accomplishments of Constantinople and Thessaloniki, was largely of provincial character. But fresco-painting in North
Macedonia in the same period equaled the greatest and most beautiful works of the Byzantine Empire. Portrait painting
was also an important art in the mediaeval period. Among the most famous portraits made on Macedonian soil are the
portraits of King Milutin and Simonida in Staro Nagoricane, the portraits of Dusan and Helena at Lesnovo, the group
portrait of the Paskaca family at Psaca.
Icon painting
After several visits by the Apostle Peter to Thessaloniki, Christianity began to quickly spread throughout Macedonia.
Confirmation of this are a number of early Christian basilicas in Macedonia, including a hundred or so square meters of
excellently preserved floor mosaics abounding in iconography and showing a high level of technical expertise, remnants
of stone sculptures and 50 recently unearthed icons in ruins near the small town of Vinica.
Wood carving
It is normal to suppose that decorative sculpture was complementary to fresco-painting and an integral part of the
architectural arrangements and the architectural conception. The oldest specimens of decorative sculpture in Macedonia
are the wood carvings on the altar screen in the church of St. Sophia in Ohrid. After the Ottoman conquest, the influence
of Middle Eastern elements in the Macedonian wood carving became much stronger. The shallow and flat arabesque
style of carving dominating until the 17th century began to be replaced by more intricate styles of carving. In the
monasteries of Slepce, Treskavec, Zrze, Varos (near Prilep), and in the Monastery of the Holy Immaculate Virgin of Kicevo,
a number of works by Macedonian wood-carvers have been preserved.

5. ■ Roman architecture is scattered throughout the
country. Skopje is home to a few examples of
this type of architecture. One is the Skopje
Aqueduckt, the only aqueduct in North
Macedonia. It consists of 55 stone arches.
Another example is Scupi. Although not much
remains of this archaeological site, burial
grounds and a theatre are somewhat visible.
Other examples of Roman architecture in North
Macedonia includes the many Roman ruins in

6. ■ The earliest example of architectural activity in
North Macedonia date from the Neolithic and
consist of structures associated with Megalith
culture. Kokino is the fourth oldest megalithic

celestial objects. Remnants of the architecture
from the times of the ancient Macedonian
Kingdom are scattered throughout North
Macedonia, especially in the south of the
former territory of Macedon.
■ Heraclea Lyncestis, founded in the middle of the
4th century BC, was an important strategical
town as it bordered Epirus to the west and the
Paeonian kingdoms to the
north. Roman architecture dominates the site
today because of the level of the excavations
which are exposing the layers from the Roman
times.
■ The Ancient Theatre in present-day Ohrid was
built during the 1st century BC. It was part of the
ancient town of Lychnidos. It is reconstructed
and in use today. Its location between two hills
that surround it keep it protected from winds
that could interfere with acoustics during
performances.

14. The orthography of Macedonian includes an alphabet Consisting of 31 Letters.
(Macedonian: Македонска азбука, Makedonska azbuka), which is an
adaptation of the Cyrillic script, as well as language-specific conventions
of spelling and punctuation.
The Macedonian alphabet was standardized in 1945 by a committee formed
in Yugoslav Macedonia after the Partisans took power at the end of World
War II. The alphabet used the same phonemic principles employed by Vuk
Karadžić (1787–1864) and Krste Misirkov (1874–1926).
Before standardization, the language had been written in a variety of
different versions of Cyrillic by different writers, influenced by Russian,
Early Cyrillic, Bulgarian (after 1899) and Serbian (after 1913) orthography.

22. ● Macedonian music styles developed under the strong influence of Byzantine church music. It can
be stated with some certainty that all of the 3,500 disciples of Clement and Naum studied music
as they prepared to spread and establish Christianity, as music education was obligatory for
service in the clergy. In addition to spreading the liturgy of the Orthodox Church, they spread
Byzantine liturgical music throughout Macedonia. In 1894, the first cultural and artistic
association was founded in Veles, with the music being its dominant activity. The first modern
Macedonian musician was Atanas Badev, born in Prilep in 1860, a student at the Moscow
Academy of Music, but his only preserved work is the "Liturgy for a Mixed Choir. At the end of the
19th century, the first choirs and orchestras using notation signs began to appear in Macedonia.
The Mokranjac choir founded in Skopje in 1922 played a remarkable role in the development of
music life in Macedonia. In 1934, the Mokranjac School of Music was opened in Skopje and an
active part in its work was taken by Trajko Prokopiev and Todor Skalovski, both of whom later
became distinguished Macedonian composers and founders of contemporary Macedonian music,
together with Stefan Gajdov, Zivko Firfov, and Petre Bogdanov-Kocko. On 5th February 1947, the
first concert of the Radio Skopje Symphonic Orchestra was given, conducted by Todor Skalovski,
and featuring soloists Didar Ali on violin, Liljana Kostic on piano, Gligor Smokvarski on clarinet,
and Ivan Vlahov on viola. The program included works by Mozart, Chopin, and Dvorak, but more
than its content, its context was that of an exceptional event in the music life of the country.
Music and dance
23. ● Traditional folk dance is arguably the best way to discover and experience the Macedonian culture. Most of
Macedonia's folklore consists of folktales, aphorisms, traditional folk dances, folk embroidery, colourful costumes,
folklore music and pottery. There are many traditional folk dances in Macedonia and all are different and beautiful in
their own way. They burst with rhythms, fast dancing steps, colorful costumes, vigorousness and beautiful songs and
are named according to instruments, customs and rituals as well as names of towns and villages.
● The traditional folk dances are usually performed during important holidays including Christmas, Feast of Saint Peter
and Paul, Easter, Saint George’s Day as well as during national holidays and various celebrations. The most popular
and world-known folk ensemble of Macedonia is “Tanec” which is considered as an ambassador of the Macedonian
folklore tradition worldwide.
● The most popular traditional Macedonian folk dance is “Teshkoto”, it is considered as one of the most beautiful dances
and it is performed only by men. “Teshkoto” originates from Lazaropole and its origins date back to times when poor
villagers had to go abroad so they could provide for the families. The dance was then performed at the end of the
village where the families sent their close ones therefore its name “the difficult” representing hardship and struggle as
well as the difficult moves performed by the dancers. The dance is accompanied by two zurlas and a drum. Another
beautiful Macedonian folk dance is “Nevestinsko” which originates from Mala Reka an area around Debar. “Sedenka”
is a vivid traditional folk dance where both men and women participate. The dance originates from the villages of
Sredorek and Zegliovo and it represents the life of young people many years ago.
24. In medieval Macedonia, the way of dressing was similar but still
different from other countries. Women in the cities wore long
dresses that were often decorated, often wore hats, etc. Folk
costumes were also worn. Men often wore hats and suits.

26. Food
The rich and vibrant traditional recipes, some dating back centuries, will conjure up food that’s some of the
most delicious. Most Macedonian dishes are a perfect combination of organic produce, quality meat, and
dairy. But pastry is also a key staple in Macedonian cuisine. In fact, Macedonians eat bread with almost
everything you can think of. The locals enjoy salads before meals, along with homemade rakija. This is a
traditional alcoholic drink. Some of the most famous and traditional dishes in out country are: Sarma (Stuffed
Cabbage Rolls)- It is a winter dish made of fermented cabbage leaves, rice, and ground beef. Tavce Gravce
(Baked Beans)- It is made of boiled beans, seasoned with a roux that includes dry red pepper. The mixture is
baked in a pan or skillet. According to the tradition, tavce gravce is usually prepared as a Friday lunch. Ajvar
(Pepper Spread)- Ajvar is a legendary food for many Macedonians. So much so, many are keeping the
tradition of preparing it alive, no matter how long it takes to prepare it. Ajvar is a pepper spread made of
roasted red pepper, paprika, and eggplant. These ingredients are mixed, mashed, and slowly fried with salt
and oil for several hours. Macedonian families gather to make tens of kilos of ajvar and store it in jars for the
winter period. Polneti Piperki (Stuffed Bell Peppers)- a filling and flavorful main dish. It is made of red or
green bell peppers, stuffed with ground meat and rice. There are so much more traditional dishes in our
country, every single one with specific taste.
