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.
2. Benefits
Cost-Savings: Students can avoid large purchases for textbooks; faculty can avoid
purchasing materials
Creative Generation: Students can be part of the creative process; supports
multiple formats and purposes
Post-Course Availability: Students can have access to content after a course ends
and the digital format is more flexible
Diversity: It is rare that one source can do everything; educators have access to
use content that covers more than just the perspective of a few authors
Quantity: There are hundreds and thousands of sources available, including from
universities, open-source sites, and designated OER sites
Samantha Thompson - Open Educational Resources: Benefits & Challenges
3. Challenges
Quality: Many OERs are created for specific purposes or not updated frequently
Simple: Traditional textbooks often include a teachers edition and a student
version which offers different perspectives and support
Time-Consuming: OERs can be difficult to make, but they can also be challenging
to find and filter out
Technology Barriers: Some students may not have access to computers, internet,
smart phones/tablets that could create an equity issue compared to hard-copy
materials
Licensing: The licensing is available for OERs but there are variable levels of “fair
use” that can make it challenging to understand how to cite authors
