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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION
AND PROCESSING

2. I.INTRODUCTION
2
OPTIMIZATION
It is defined as follows: choosing the best element from some set of available
alternatives.
• In Pharmacy word “optimization” is found in the literature referring to any study of
formula.
• In development projects pharmacist generally experiments by a series of logical
steps, carefully controlling the variables and changing one at a time until
satisfactory results are obtained. This is how the optimization done in
pharmaceutical industry.
3. II. OPTIMIZATION PARAMETERS
There are two optimization parameters
1.Problem Types
2.Variables
3
• PROBLEM TYPES -There are two general types of optimization problems:
1. Unconstrained
2. Constrained
In unconstrained optimization problems there are no restrictions. For a given pharmaceutical
system one might wish to make the hardest tablet possible. This making of the hardest tablet isthe
unconstrained optimization problem. The constrained problem involved in it is to make the hardest
tablet possible, but it must disintegrate in less than 15minutes.
4. • VARIABLES - The development procedure of the pharmaceutical formulation involves
several variables. Mathematically these variables are divided into two groups.
1.Independent variables
2.Dependent variables
The independent variables are under the control of the formulator. These might include
the compression force or the die cavity filling or the mixing time. The dependent
variables are the responses or the characteristics that are developed due to the
independent variables. The more the variables that are present in the system the more
the complications that are involved in the optimization.
4
5. Once the relationship
between the variable and
the response is known, it
gives the response surface
as represented in the Fig. 1.
Surface is to be evaluated to
get the independent
variables, X1 and X2, which
gave the response, Y. Any
number of variables can be
considered, it is impossible
to represent graphically, but
mathematically it can be
evaluated.
5
6. III. CLASSICAL OPTIMIZATION
6
•Classical optimization is done by using the calculus to basic problem to find the
maximum and the minimum of a function.
•The curve in the Fig. 2. represents the relationship between the response Y and the
single independent variable X and we can obtain the maximum and the minimum. By
using the calculus the graphical represented can be avoided. If the relationship, the
equation for Y as a function of X, is available [Eq. (1)]:
Y = f(X)
Figure 2. Graphic location of optimum (maximum or minimum)
7. • When the relationship for the response Y is given as the function of two independent
variables, X1 and X2 ,
Y = f(X1, X2)
•Graphically, there are contour plots (Fig. 3.) on which the axes represents the two
independent variables, X1 and X2, and contours represents the response Y.
Figure 3. Contour plot. Contour represents values of the dependent
variable Y

8. V. APPLIED OPTIMIZATION METHODS
There are several methods used for optimization. They are
Evolutionary
Operations
The Simplex
Method
The Lagrangian
Method
Search Method
Canonical
Analysis

9. EVOLUTIONARY OPERATIONS
9
• One of the most widely used methods of experimental optimization in fields
other than pharmaceutical technology is the evolutionary operation (EVOP).
• This technique is especially well suited to a production situation.
• The basic philosophy is that the production procedure (formulation and process)
is allowed to evolve to the optimum by careful planning and constant repetition.
• The process is run in a way such that it both produces a product that meets all
specifications and (at the same time) generates information on product
improvement.
10. • The simplex approach to the optimum is also an experimental method and has
been applied more widely to pharmaceutical systems.
•A simplex is a geometric figure that has one more point than the number of
factors. So, for two factors or independent variables, the simplex is represented
by a triangle. Once the shape of a simplex has been determined, the method
can employ a simplex of fixed size or of variable sizes that are determined by
comparing the magnitudes of the responses after each successive calculation.
•The initial simplex is represented by the lowest triangle; the vertices represent
the spectrophotometric response. The strategy is to move toward a better
response by moving away from the worst response.
10
THE SIMPLEX METHOD
11. the worst response is
0.25,
conditions are selected at
the vortex, 0.6, and,
indeed,
improvement is obtained.
One can follow the
experimental path to the
optimum, 0.721.
Figure 5 The simplex approach to optimization. Response is spectorphotometric reading at a
given wavelength.
11
12. The several steps in the Lagrangian method can be summarized as follows:
1. Determine objective function
2 .Determine constraints
3. Change inequality constraints to equality constraints.
4. Form the Lagrange function, F:
a. One Lagrange multiplier λ for each constraint
b. One slack variable q for each inequality constraint
5. Partially differentiate the Lagrange function for each variable and Set derivatives
equal to zero.
6. Solve the set of simultaneous equations.
7. Substitute the resulting values into the objective functions.
12
THE LAGRANGIAN METHOD
13. •This technique requires that the experimentation be completed before
optimization so that mathematical models can be generated.
•The experimental design here was full 3 square factorial, and , as shown
in Table- 1 nine formulations were prepared.
13
14. Polynomial models relating the response variables to the independent variable
were generated by a backward stepwise regression analysis program. The
analyses were performed on a polynomial of the form and the terms were retained
or eliminated according to standard stepwise regression techniques.
y = B0+B1X1+B2X2+B3X1
2+B4X2
2+B5X1X2
+B6X1X2
2+B7X1
2X2+B8X1
2X2
2
In Eq. (3), y represents any given response and Bi represents the regression
coefficient for the various terms containing levels of the independent variable. One
equation is generated for each response or dependent variable.
14
15. EXAMPLE FOR THE LAGRANGIAN METHOD
The active ingredient, phenyl-propanolamine HCl, was kept at a constant level,
and the levels of disintegrant (corn starch) and lubricant (stearic acid) were
selected as the independent variables, X1 and X2. The dependent variables
include tablet hardness, friability, volume, in vitro release rate, and urinary
excretion rate inhuman subject.
A graphic technique may be obtained from the polynomial equations, as follows:
15
16. Figure 6. Contour plots for the Lagrangian method:
(a) tablet hardness;
16
17. Figure 6. Contour plots for the Lagrangian method:
(b) dissolution (t50%)
17
18. Figure 6. Contour plots for the Lagrangian method:
c) feasible solution space indicated by crosshatched area
18
• If the requirements on the final tablet are that hardness be 8-10 kg and t50%
be 20-33 min, the feasible solution space is indicated in Fig. 6c.
•This has been obtained by superimposing Fig. 6a and b, and several
different combinations of X1 and X2 will suffice.
19. oA technique called sensitivity analysis can provide information so that the
formulator can further trade off one property for another. For sensitivity analysis
the formulator solves the constrained optimization problem for systematic changes
in the secondary objectives. For example, the foregoing problem restricted tablet
friability, y3, to a maximum of 2.72%.
Figure 7 illustrates the in vitro release profile as this constraint is tightened or
relaxed and demonstrates that substantial improvement in the t50% can be obtained
up to about 1-2%.

20. t
Figure 7 illustrates the in
vitro release profile as this
constraint is tightened or
relaxed and demonstrates
that substantial improvemen
in the t50% can be obtained
up to about 1-2%.
20
21. The plots of the independent
21
variables, X1 and X2, can be
obtained as shown in Fig.8.
Thus the formulator is
provided with the solution
(the formulation) as he
changed the friability
restriction.

restrictions on tablet friability: (A) percent starch; (B) percent stearic acid

the efficient and effective
procedures that might be
applied. Representation of
such analysis and the
available solution space is
shown for the suspension in
Figs. 9 and 10.

the second case study

suspensions yielding zero dose variation.

24. Although the Lagrangian method was able to handle several responses or
dependent variable, it was generally limited to two independent variables.
A search method of optimization was also applied to a pharmaceutical
system. It takes five independent variables into account and is computer-
assisted. It was proposed that the procedure described could be set up
such that persons unfamiliar with the mathematics of optimization and
with no previous computer experience could carry out an optimization
study.
THE SEARCH METHOD
25. THE SEARCH METHODS
1. Select a system
2. Select variables:
a. Independent
b. Dependent
3. Perform experimens and test product.
4. Submit data for statistical and regression analysis
5. Set specifications for feasibility program
6. Select constraints for grid search
7. Evaluate grid search printout
8. Request and evaluate:.
a. “Partial derivative” plots, single or composite
b. Contour plots
26. o The system selected here was also a tablet formulation.
The five independent variables or formulation factors selected for
this study are shown in Table 2.
28. • The experimental design used was a modified factorial and is
shown in Table4.
•The fact that there are five independent variable dictates that a
total of 27 experiments or formulations be prepared. This design is
known as a five-factor, orthogonal, central, composite, second-order
design . The firs 16 formulations represent a half-factorial design
for five factors at two levels, resulting in ½ X 25 =16 trials. The two
levels are represented by +1 and -1, analogous to the high and low
values in any two level factorial design. For the remaining trials,
three additional levels were selected: zero represents a base level
midway between the aforementioned levels, and the levels noted as
1.547 represent extreme (or axial) values.
29.
30. • The translation of the statistical design into physical units is shownin
Table 5.
•Again the formulations were prepared and the responses measured. The
data were subject to statistical analysis, followed by multiple regression
analysis. This is an important step. One is not looking for the best of the
27 formulations, but the “global best.”
31. The type of predictor equation usd with this type of design is a second-
order polynomial of the following form:
Y = a 0+a1X1+…..+a5X5+a11X12+…+a55X52
+a12X1X2+a13X1X3+…+a45X4X5
Where Y is the level of a given response, the regression coefficients for
second-order polynomial, and X1 the level of the independent variable.
The full equation has 21 terms, and one such equation is generated for
each response variable
32. For the optimization itself, two major steps wereused:
1. The feasibility search
2. The grid search.
The feasibility program is used to locate a set of response constraintsthat
are just at the limit of possibility.
. For example, the constraints in Table 6 were fed into the computerand
were relaxed one at a time until a solution was found.
33. This program is designed so that it stops after the first possibility, it is not afull
search.
The formulation obtained may be one of many possibilities satisfying the constraints.
34. •The grid search or exhaustive grid search, is essentially a brute
force method in which the experimental range is divided into agrid
of specific size and methodically searched.
•From an input of the desired criteria, the program prints out all
points (formulations) that satisfy the constraints.
• Graphic approaches are also available and graphic output is provided
by a plotter from computer tapes.
35. •The output includes plots of a given responses as a function of a single variable (fig.11).
The abscissa for both types is produced in experimental units, rather
than physical units, so that it extends from -1.547 to + 1.547.
36. The output includes plots of a given responses as a function of all five variable
(Fig 12).
37. Contour plots (Fig.13) are also generated in the same manner. The specific
response is noted on the graph, and again, the three fixed variables must be
held at some desired level. For the contour plots shown, both axes are in
experimental unit (eu) .
37
38. CANONICAL ANALYSIS
38
Canonical analysis, or canonical reduction, is a technique used to reduce a
second-order regression equation, to an equation consisting of a constant
and squared terms, as follows:
Y = Y0+λ1W1
2+λ2W2 +…….2
39. . In canonical analysis or canonical
reduction, second-order regression
equations are reduced to a simpler
form by a rigid rotation and translation
of the response surface axes in
multidimensional space, as shown in
Fig.14 for a two dimension system.

time of the plasma peak and the absorption rate constant could, indeed,
be controlled by the formulation and processing variables involved.
