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 wasnât 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.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Parent Permission Slip Shelfari
1. December 8, 2008
Dear Students and Parents,
We have had such an incredible year so far developing our skills as authors and readers. As we
continue to focus on increasing the amount of time we spend independent reading and writing for a
specific audience and purpose, we will be starting an exciting new collaborative project that will
connect us with readers around the globe. The project will take the traditional âReadersâ Workshopâ
into the 21st century:
1. It replaces pencil and paper book reviews with a better tool called a Shelfari.com.
2. It expands the options for peer response and peer recommendations beyond the walls and
limits of our classroom (our time zone, city, nation, and culture).
3. It increases the chances that students will find a really good book that fits their personal
interests by connecting them with readers who share their interests.
4. It replaces the typical 20th century classroom publishing (hallways, newsletters, etc.) with
authentic 21st century publishing in an electronic, online forum with reviews from students
around the world.
What is Shelfari?
Shelfari is a website for bookwormsâand for those who are still learning how to find and share
the perfect book. On Shelfari, students can create their own virtual shelf, rate the books theyâve read,
read and write book reviews, discuss books with readers from around the planet, create a reading wish
list, and much, much more. Each participating student will make their own virtual bookshelf
containing books theyâre planning to read, books theyâve already read, and books they are currently
reading. Once a book is placed on a shelf, the students will be able to rate it, write a review, and
discuss the book with other readers.
One of the greatest features of Shelfari is the ability to connect and share ideas with readers
worldwide. In our class, a student might not find another student who likes the same types of books.
But on Shelfari, they definitely will! Connecting with readers who have similar interests will help them
find the perfect book more easily.
2. Our class also has a private group, where we can safely discuss books weâre reading together.
Only group members can see our discussions and reply to our questions. Students that are not ready
to discuss books with their peers from across the globe can privately discuss books in our group,
although the chances of connecting with a reader who has similar interests may drastically decrease.
Requirements to Participate
Participating students will have profile (bookshelf and friend list) on the Shelfari.com site. In
order to create a Shelfari account, students will need parental permission. Shelfari registration
requires an email account; however, for the safety of the student, this account must be a teacher or
parent account.
In order to get started with this project, please fill in the form attached to give us permission to
set up your childâs account on Shelfari.com. Please note that absolutely no personal information about
your child will be shared during the course of this project. We will use only pseudonyms (pen names)
when participating on Shelfari, and all participating students must sign and abide by the Shelfari
Student Acceptable Use Policy. In addition, online safety will be infused throughout the entire project
as the students continue learning about working safely on the internet.
Please return this permission form by Thursday, December 11th, 2008.
Sincerely,
Miss Mitton
Fifth Grade Teacher
East Vincent Elementary School

Note to parents: Just as we teach students to be safe in (but not fear) the âreal world,â we need to
teach them to be safe the online world. A structured environment, such as participating on Shelfari
during Readersâ Workshop, will help students develop safe online practices and learn important
communication and collaboration skills. Discussing and using these rules at home will also increase
your childâs safety and digital citizenship skills.
