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 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.

that deals with the production, distribution, and
consumption of goods and services
• Three Types:
Market
Economy
Command

Mixed
Economy
13. Market Economy
• In a market economy individuals rather than
governments make most economic decisions
– Capitalism
• private ownership of capital
– Laissez-faire
• governmental noninterference in economic
affairs
14. Command Economy
• In a command economy the visible hand of the
state supersedes the invisible hand of individuals
– Government
• owns and controls resources
• determines prices
• Communism
15. Mixed Economy
• Most economies are mixed economies
– fall between market and command economies
• Socialism
– regulate economic activity with a focus on
social equality and a fair distribution of wealth
16. Different Political Ideology

ought to function and outlines the methods
by which it will do so
• Most modern societies are pluralistic
– different groups champion competing
political ideologies
• Democrats vs. Republicans in the United
States
• Democratic Party vs. Liberal Party in
Japan
18. Democracy

and legally equal

freedom of thought,
opinion, belief, speech,
and association

sovereign power over
public officials

20. What is CSR?
“Corporate social responsibility
(CSR) refers to companies
taking responsibility for their
impact on society. As evidence
suggests, CSR is increasingly
important to the
competitiveness of
enterprises. It can bring
benefits in terms of risk
management, cost savings,
access to capital, customer
relationships, human resource
management, and innovation
capacity.”
21. Issues in CSR
Many firms’ corporate social
responsibility efforts are
counterproductive, for two
reasons: They put business
against society, when the two
are actually interdependent.
And they pressure companies
to think of CSR in generic
ways, instead of crafting social
initiatives appropriate to their
individual strategies
23. The Relationship between
Business and Society
• Consumers in contemporary
societies enjoy and expect a
wide range of benefits, from
education and health care to
credit and products that are
safe to use
• Profit-seeking companies are
the economic engine that
powers modern society; they
generate the vast majority of
the money in a nation’s
economy
• Much of what we consider
when assessing a
society’s standard of
living involves goods and
services created by
profit-seeking companies
• Companies cannot hope
to operate profitably
without the many
benefits provided by a
stable, functioning society
24. Philanthropy versus Strategic CSR
Philanthropy
The donation of money,
time, goods, or services
to charitable,
humanitarian, or
educational institutions
Strategic CSR
Social contributions that
are directly aligned with
a company’s overall
business strategy
