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.
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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
2. Objective
• Expose teachers to Web 2.0 technology
tools for teaching
• Provide time to plan and collaborate with
peers ways in which the tools may be
implemented into instruction
9. HCPS and Acceptable Use
What to remember when using Web 2.0:
– No Student Emails
– No personal images or full names
– Review ethical/appropriate use with students
HCPS 2011
10. Permissions Scantron
“ I grant permission for my child to use educationally
appropriate and HCPS approved web-based Web
2.0 to publish to the internet”
“When using Web 2.0 applications in HCPS, personal
information will be limited to the student’s first
name and last initial. Students will be allowed to
post their ideas and opinions, but not their age,
email address, photographs, or other sensitive
information. Web 2.0 tools are an extension of the
classroom and appropriate use of the Internet will
be expected.”
11. K-2 Grade Level Challenges
• Username and
passwords
• Typing skills
• How to combat the
challenges?
– Lots of practice
– Get parents involved
– Pair up with another
grade level
– Keep it simple
“Students were highly motivated and they
are so much more independent in signing in
on our wiki and blog site! That has made my
life so much easier and I am able to start
taking them further with technology
concepts.
Being that I have my kids work on our wiki
and blog often has made a world of
difference!!! Most of my kids can maneuver
thru my site with ease!
Today, they left school saying they can't wait
to show their parents all that we added to
our blog! We added our Kerpoof drawings
and the kids commented on a video and
asked questions on the video I created.”
- Tracy Borkowicz, HCPS Kindergarten Teacher
13. What is a wiki?
• The word wiki comes from the Hawaiian
word for "quick."
• It also stands for "what I know is...."
• A wiki incorporates both of those meanings -
it is a website where users quickly share
what they know and share what they do.
• One of the most well known wiki’s is
Wikipedia, the world’s largest encyclopedia.
14. Harford County Guidelines
• Harford County is endorsing the use of
Wikispaces (educator account) to use within
classrooms.
• Wikispaces allows for an easy WYSIWYG
(what you see is what you get) page editor,
image and file upload, page linking, widgets,
page histories, discussion forums, easy setup
and collaboration.
