The BBFC rated the original Star Wars film a U rating in 1977 and saw its universal appeal for all ages. For Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the BBFC increased the rating to 12 due to the film's darker tone and more obvious violence, including scenes of moderate violence from blasters, lightsabers, and dogfights as well as occasional scenes of moderate threat. However, the BBFC found no other issues requiring intervention and the film passed classification without cuts.

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.

5. BBFC Ratings- 12A
• The 12A category applies to cinema only releases
since 2002. Films in this category are considered
unsuitable for young children. Children under
the age of 12 can still watch the film as long as
they are accompanied by an adult aged 18 or
over. Films under this category can contain
mature themes, discrimination, soft drugs,
moderate language, moderate violence, sex
references and nudity.
6. BBFC Ratings- 12
• The 12 category only applies to home
media and states the films is suitable for
people aged 12 or older, it is illegal to sell a
video with a 12 certificate to anyone under
that age. 12A rated films are usually given
a 12 certificate when released for home
media. The content guidelines are the
same for that of a 12A film.
7. BBFC Ratings- 15
• The 15 category means suitable for people
aged 15 years or older, no one younger than

purchase it on home media. Films under
this category do not have limitation on the
foul language that is used. Hard drugs are
generally allowed, and explicit sex
references along with detailed sexual
activity are also allowed.
9. The BBFC
• The BBFC carried out a Case Study of the original Star Wars in 1977, and have held their stance for
40 years on the status of Star Wars, only slightly increasing the rating for Star Wars The Force
Awakens after JJ Abrams utilized a darker tone and more obvious violence in his incarnation of the
Star Wars Universe. On their website, they say of Star Wars: “Today it is perhaps one of the most
recognisable films in the world, but in June 1977 BBFC examiners sat down to watch Star Wars with
little idea of the film's destiny. The ingredients that would go on to capture the imagination of a
generation of young cinemagoers are noted as “vastly entertaining” and “grand fun for all ages”,
although one report mistakenly describes the film as being set "thousands of years in the future"
despite the opening line of the film famously setting the stage as “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far
away….'”. One examiner also remarks that “In the USA it is already outgrossing all other major
films”, which would prove to be a major understatement. There was some concern noted about the
level of violence and one examiner points out that the film was awarded a PG by the MPAA in
America. However the universal appeal and adventurous tone of Star Wars won the team over and
the film was passed at U, a category decision that has remained unchanged for over thirty years.”
• For the Force Awakens, they added some disclaimers for Violence and Threat that account for the
rise in rating between the original Star Wars and The Force Awakens. For violence, they state that
“there are some scenes of moderate violence, including the use of blasters and lightsabers, and
dogfights between spaceships. Sight of Blood and injury detail is brief and limited”. For Threat they
say that there are “Occasional scenes of moderate threat include characters being interrogated using
'the Force', which it is implied causes them pain, and characters being held at lightsaber-point” They
also claim that “There is infrequent use of very mild bad language ('hell', 'damn').”
• These ratings and comments are the extent of The BBFC’s dealings with The Force Awakens as it did
not come up against any more issues that required BBFC Intervention.
