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.

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 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.

7. Educators should engage with the system and
be tactically inside and strategically outside the
system.
Freire touches on the role of social movements
as important vehicles for social change.
Freire insisted that education should not be
romanticized and that teachers ought to engage
in a much larger public sphere.
8. Freire regarded praxis as a central concept in
question.
Praxis constitutes the means of gaining critical
distance from one’s world of action to engage in
reflection geared toward transformative action.
9. Authority is necessary to the freedom of the
students and my own. The teacher is absolutely
necessary. What is bad, what is not necessary, is
authoritarianism, but not authority.
The educator’s directivity should not interfere
with the creative, formulative, investigative
capacity of the educand.
10. His talking books broach many subjects but not
always in the depth required.
Freire overemphasized on popular culture.
He produced one book too many, and there is
quite a lot of repetition across these books.
11. "Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate
integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present
system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of
freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and
creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the
transformation of their world."
— Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
"It is not the unloved who initiate disaffection, but those who cannot
love because they love only themselves. It is not the helpless,
subject to terror, who initiate terror, but the violent, who with their
power create the concrete situation which begets the 'rejects of life.'
It is not the tyrannized who initiate despotism, but the tyrants. It is
not those whose humanity is denied them who negate humankind,
but those who denied that humanity (thus negating their own as
well). Force is used not by those who have become weak under the
preponderance of the strong, but by the strong who have
emasculated them."
Editor's Notes
His theories that have been used, principally in Third World countries, to bring literacy to the poor and to transform the field of education.
Freire's construct overlaps with Marxist (social democratic) and Christian views of organizing for social change.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, I found the author’s views to be very valuable in inspiring the masses of Brazil. Freire does not simply write his book for only the wretched of South America but his book contains some fundamental references for societal change in the context of education.
compares and contrasts the lives of uneducated peasants and the lives of the educated Brazilians. He argues that the uneducated will only live in ignorance when there is not an alternative to explore knowledge. He believes that once the uneducated becomes educated, the possibilities of making a contribution in his or her community are limitless. He explains that an oppressed person can only accept oppression as an acceptable means of life since oppression is the only form of life that has been introduced to him or her. I like the most was the part in which he argues that the oppressed becomes liberated and begins to question every aspect of society. Now the oppressed and the oppressor have joined hands to mutually find their liberation. This mutual process begins the journey of self-fulfillment and inquiry. Throughout this and subsequent books, he argues for system of education that emphasizes learning as an act of culture and freedom.
an opportunity to relive and excavate the process and journeys which directed the development of his pedagogical thought.
Revolutionary activities for social transformation
Rather, hope is an active force which is imperative to the success of problem-posing education and the conscientization process. Conversely, hopelessness is a “concrete 具體的entity 本質" (p. 8) created by economic, historical and social forces of oppression, and is intensified in the absence of a "critical knowledge of reality" (p. 30).
According to his comments in Pedagogy of Hope, he was recruited by Grenadian government officials to put together their literacy projects and made two visits to Grenada two visits to Grenada in Latin America
comprehension of oppression is "indispensable" (p. 31) to a new vision of the world based on justice and freedom. Hope helps us to "understand human existence, and the struggle needed to improve it.." (p. 8).
Greater emphasis role of Economic conditions in processes of social change
people more hopeful about the possibilities to take chances and improve their lives
Love as the essence of dialogue, "If I do not love the world--if I do not love life--if I do not love people", Freire declares, "I cannot enter into dialogue
Freire believes love for the people can mediate an ethical stance which must strike beyond class borders. A loving curriculum is thus transcendent, beyond traditional political bounds.
The trust f Human Being and the desire to help create “ a world in which it will e easier to love”
Christian Overtone ( 泛音,暗示), Freire's premise for fighting oppression seems to be a synthesis of the Christian precept of "love thy enemy,
“Didn’t hesitate to recognize the capacity of love as an indispensable condition for authentic revolutionaries. “
"One cannot expect positive results from an educational or political action program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people. Such a program constitutes cultural invasion, good intentions notwithstanding." — Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
