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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

9. I Am
I am practical and self-reliant
I wonder about everything
I hear the many voices in my head
I see books like they are movies
I want to be successful
I am practical and self-reliant
I pretend to pay attention a lot
I feel like a day is a week when it comes to the end of the year
I touch the books
I worry about life
I cry about crimes
I am practical and self-reliant
I understand that life is odd
I say that I believe that
I dream of a better world
I try to live life to the fullest
I hope to be a good person
I am practical and self-reliant

Decision
There are only two possibilities
God the result of imagination
Or God the Lord over all creation
With supernatural abilities
Considering the liabilities
The former, a finite observation
The latter, spirit rejuvenation
With its infinite capabilities
Choosing the former one has to reason
What's wanted is some final solution
An end to it all with no life ahead
I choose the latter for a new season
Trusting in God as my resolution
Gaining promised eternal life instead
13. What would you do if it was your last day?
Would you ride a horse across a wild moore,
or would you go backpacking in the Alps.
Would you go for a walk along a shore
or would you go for a bike ride on a path,
Would you do that something you never did?
I’d try something new that I’d never done,
I would live for what I want in my life
I’d want my life satisfactory
And hope to achieve what I have worked for.
15. My Concrete Poem
It says: Like a babbling brooke your life is always moving. Always moving forward, some-
times faster than others. Some memories are always there while others are rarely ever seen.
But just remember that no matter what, they are always there. Like a rock.
19. Live like
It’s your last day
For you never know.
Every day should be cherished.

21. Free Verse:
Where?
He’s leaving soon.
He’s going to be gone for a while,
and how strange will that be?
You ask where he is going,
but no one knows.
It’s not decided they say when you ask.
Oh, he’ll be here for a while
then he might be there.
So where is he going to be?
Not here, in my home.
Not anymore.
He’s got a while before he has to go,
but what is a few months really?
When you’ve spent all your years around him,
when he’s lived here all eighteen years of his life,
what is a few months?
So I ask again,
Where are you going?
22. Parody Poem
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Some say that life’s an adventure
Some say a journey.
From what I’ve experienced
I agree with those who say adventure.
But if I must call it else,
I think they’re close enough
to say that a journey
Is also similar
And would avail.
