Organizations today are in constant flux. Industries are consolidating, new business models are emerging, new technologies are being developed, and consumer behaviors are evolving. For executives, the ever-increasing pace of change can be especially demanding. It forces them to understand and quickly respond to big shifts in the way companies operate and how work must get done. In the words of Arie de Geus, a business theorist, “The ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage.”

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.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
1. Post 12 -Evaluating the impact OF ENTERPRISE SKILLS in researching, developing ideas and
producing a brief
Working independently.
Applying self-motivation to perform tasks.
Applying research skills.
Changing ideas in response to research.
using initiative
applying self-motivation to perform tasks
Teamwork and working with others, delegating, compromising
applying communication, interpersonal, written communication skills
problem solving.
A) the research you did in posts 2– 7
Post 2- Post 2 was all about using my entrepreneur skills to where I have used those skill in my daily
life. These included:
Using initiative Using initiative is doing things without being told, in
shot terms you act instead of reacting to work. An
example of me using initiative is taking on extra work
with my subjects such as extra reading or preparing for
the lesson ahead.
Working independently Working independently is being able to complete
assigned tasks on your own. For example, planning for
the unit 3 Digital Media exam unit.
Applying self-motivation to perform
tasks
Self-motivation is the ability to drive oneself to take
initiative and action to pursue goals and complete
tasks. An example of this is staring on assignments and
getting them done on time.
Self-evaluating ability to meet demands Self-evaluation is to evaluate oneself or one’s actions
or performance. An example of this is having a clear
understanding of what I am expected to do during my
lessons.
Working with others, delegating,
compromising
In Health & Social Care we tend to work in groups and
have class discussions and having to present it in front
of the class. When compromising we take it in turns to
speak when presenting to the class. Another example
of working with others is when it came to filming in
unit 10 and 20.
Applying communication, interpersonal,
written communication skills
Communication skills is the ability to convey or share
ideas and feelings effectively. This is shown when I
actively listen during my lessons and get on with the
work that has been set.
2. Problem solving Problem solving is the process of finding solutions to
difficult or complex issues. An example of this is
correcting a mistake I have made in my work whether
it was made by me or someone else.
It’s good to identify this because it will help you face failures and get through the hurdles that
entrepreneurs surely experience as they find something that works for them. Having Vision: Having a
vision for your business goes a long way. Ask yourself these questions—can you see for yourself
where things can be improved? We had to talk about our entrepreneur skills.
Post 4 –
Post 5-
Post 6-7
Applying research skills
Changing ideas in response to research
These are the skill in which I used to complete this task. Having choices, or options,
is typically seen as a good thing. It allows us to control our lives, which will make
us feel more confident and will always increase our survival chances.
Simultaneously, having no choice due to no options is not good either. I took each
option and evaluated it by having groups discuss its strengths, weaknesses,
positive impacts, and possible downsides. When there is a very long list of options,
it is useful to clump or cluster similar ones together and/or to eliminate those that
no one feels strongly about.
Our survival instincts tell us that we'll survive if we have control. So it's our
powerful unconscious that keeps us seeking control, and it's the desire for control
that keeps us seeking choices. We like having choices because it makes us feel in
control. We won't always choose the fastest way to get something done.
If you approach your work with a different lens, it is likely that you will have
different ideas. Coming from a different background gives you the advantage of
thinking differently and adding value.
Generate as many ideas as possible. The first way to beat a creative block
and generate new ideas is to generate as many good ideas as possible
Pay attention to your needs
Keep track of your ideas
Observe the world around you.
Break your routine
Doodle
Do not be afraid of trial and error
Seek new experiences
Post 6-7 this was further Primary and secondary research. The entrepreneur skills I
used were:
Working independently.
Applying self-motivation to perform tasks.
Applying research skills.
Changing ideas in response to research.
using initiative
applying self-motivation to perform task
I did this because I made a focus group and a questionnaire for my primary
research and the internet for secondary research to look at similar media products
to my own. I used the questionnaire to develop ideas and whom I should aim it at
and the content I should post and then secondary research to see how I should
post the TikTok.
3. B) the development of your ideas for post 8 – 10
Post 8 and post 9 Entrepreneur skills I used for this includes
Working independently. - I worked independently to create the questionnaire
and come up with questions which could be beneficial when making me product.
This is so it stands out to my target audience so it becomes popular. When I
finished with all the questions, I had gathered up myself I used them to create a
questionnaire which I asked the whole of the BTEC media class to fill out. Hat
then gave me a clear insight of how to develop my idea further. I distributed my
questionnaire to a class of year 13 students. I printed my questionnaire to make
it simple to complete, ensuring that I would receive the most useful information.
In order to acquire a range of responses from both male and female audiences,
my goal was to cover a representative sample for my target demographic. I just
gave my questionnaire to folks who I wanted to respond, so it wasn't stratified.
Open, multiple, and closed questions were all included in my questionnaire. I did
this to avoid making the questionnaire repetitious and because I wanted my
audience to voice their honest ideas regarding the subject matter I would be
writing about. But, analysing data is much simpler now. I am happy with the
results of my questionnaire because I found the target audience I was looking
for. However, I believe that I could have been more representative and could
have included a wider range of people to ensure that it wasn't biassed. Receiving
a large number of responses could also change the results of my analysis so that
the majority of my responses aren't from members of my target audience.
Applying self-motivation to perform tasks. – I have worked using motivation to
complete all the POSTS before half term so I don’t have to do anymore work.
Using initiative – I used my initiative to come up with all the questions. in my
questionnaire. Asking more questions builds emotional intelligence, lending to
better soft skills - key in leadership at work and interpersonal relationship
building. Asking questions is an effective way to better communicate and
connect with others. “Curiosity for me has helped me make sense of the world.
My target audience could not access the link to the survey I had created on
Microsoft Forms on some social media platforms. At home, I found the problem
and had to take independent action to switch the social media platform I was
utilising to reach my target audience. I conducted some testing and discovered
that the only website where my ta could access the questionnaire was Facebook.
I was able to complete my questionnaire by the deadline of January 5th by using
my initiative to solve problems.
Teamwork and working with others, delegating, compromising – There was
teamwork within coming up with some questions and discussion of how a Disney
TikTok account would work. collaborative problem-solving and discussions leads
to better outcomes. People are more likely to take calculated risks that lead to
innovation if they have the support of a team behind them. Working in a team
encourages personal growth, increases job satisfaction, and reduces stress.
Applying communication, interpersonal, written communication skills – There
has been communication amongst the class for a whole series of ideas of how
you’d want to produce your product/service and what may be the good and bad
sides of creating it and if its worth doing.
4. the production of your Creative Brief for post 11
Entrepreneur skills I have used here-
Working independently
Applying self-motivation to perform tasks.
Applying research skills.
Changing ideas in response to research.
using initiative
self-actualization
I have done this because I have worked to finish al the posts and came up with
the idea myself. I have researched the demographics of the app and see how it
targets the audience which I want to target my product at. I have also used my
initiative to look up at how Tiktokers have a brilliant way of recoding to appeal to
other creators which may also be posted on other social media platforms.
Through my educational videos, I hope to boost self-actualization by giving my
viewers greater self-assurance so they can realise their full potential.
My video will be best suited for those who are exploring, particularly those who
are trying to learn something new. I would create my TikTok’s in a way that would
appeal to an audience looking for escapism because I would make it enjoyable
and soothing, helping people escape from their everyday troubles.
