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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Practice Wisdom
1. Practice Wisdom
Practice wisdom was a new and very interesting concept to me. It is made up of many components. Practice wisdom is made up of experiences that
you gain from working in the field. Practice wisdom can also be influenced by research, theory, and personal experiences. You gain this wisdom from
both the positive and negative experiences, they both help you grow as a professional and ultimately as an individual. As time goes on we are able to
draw on this wisdom to help us make tough decisions.
There are many potential sources of stress that can occur during our time in practicum. Some examples of this stress can be having feelings of
helplessness, overwhelmed, unprepared. These feelings can cause much stress which can potentially lead to burnout.

2. Wisdom: A Philosophical Take Essay
Introduction: What is Wisdom? When the question, "What is Wisdom?" is asked, philosopher's always have a view from the question. Each
philosopher has their own interpretation of what wisdom is. But, what does wisdom really mean? Is it knowledge, science, or just common sense? I
believe it is a mixture of all these things and more. There are many books written on the subject; from the dictionary, which defines it, to the Bible
and Socrates. Webster's New World Dictionary defines the word wisdom as "the quality of being wise; power of judging rightly and following the
soundest course of action, based on knowledge, experience, understanding, etc.; good judgment; sagacity (penetrating intelligence and sound
judgment)". In this paper, I...show more content...
However, (in Plato's The Trial and Death of Socrates) the reader finds Socrates asking questions not to gain knowledge or wisdom, but to take apart
wisdom (Kolak 4) Through his constant questioning and challenging of thoughts and responses Socrates is attempting to reveal to the subject of his
questions that they are not truly as wise as they believe themselves to be. Socrates argued that there were, in fact, real and В‘objective' values, and that
reason could be used not only to win arguments but to discover the most important truths about human life. (Solomon 34) Socrates' point was not just
to destroy other people's claims and arguments, even though he rarely gave the answers to his own questions. His point was to strengthen others to
seek the answers themselves, and Socrates, unlike some of the Sophists, seemed confident that there was an answer to the basic questions about life.
Truth be told, Socrates was not contrasting to the Sophists; even though he was the first to admit from his own ignorance, he tended to believe in
something. Socrates believed that virtue is the most important from all possessions, that truth lies beyond the shadows from our everyday experience,
and that the proper business of the philosopher is to show us how little we really

Project Paper: Philosophy & Wisdom
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Data is not information,
Information is not knowledge,
Knowledge is not understanding,
Understanding is not wisdom.
– Clifford Stoll –
So what exactly is wisdom?
Wisdom comes from the word 'wise', which means having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment . Did you know that the human race
is also called homo sapien – which originated from Latin, meaning 'wise' or 'knowing man'? This is simply due to the fact that humans need to be
equipped with wisdom in order to survive.
According to Crawford (2011), wisdom can be viewed as the ability to exercise good judgment in the face of imperfect knowledge – which is to do the
right thing personally,...show more content...
2.0 KNOWLEDGE, INTELLIGENCE, & WISDOM
Knowledge, intelligence and wisdom are three distinct attributes a person possesses. According to Kennon (2010), they are not interchangeable; and
although they tend to be related, it is possible to have one without the others.
2.1 Knowledge
Knowledge, or 'ilmu' include facts, information, descriptions, or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or
practical understanding of a subject. Basically, it is pure, raw data and understanding of how something works. Knowledge acquisition involves
complex cognitive processes, which includes perception, communication, association and reasoning. In Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Domain
(revised edition), Knowledge is at the lowest level, which is hierarchical from lower to higher order: i.e. i) Knowledge (Remembering); ii)
4. Comprehension (Understanding); iii) Application (Applying); iv) Analysis (Analyzing); v) Evaluation (Evaluating); vi) Synthesis (Creating).
Figure 1: Bloom's (2001) revised taxonomy of learning
Therefore, knowledge requires memory of previously learned materials by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers. In order to further
understand, apply, analyse, evaluate, or create something, a particular scheme (i.e. prior knowledge) must first be activated or triggered. It can thus be
concluded that knowledge is the building block of higher

5. Essay about The Search for Wisdom
The Search for Wisdom
Wisdom, as defined in the dictionary, is "the sum of learning through the ages; knowledge". Plato's Socrates indicates that wisdom is the
acknowledgement of ignorance. This statement may be hard to prove as true. If a deaf and dumb man came to realize that he knew nothing,
because he is not able to learn it, does this make him wise? I do not believe so. Then, if a prominent professor who has studied for years and has
learned many things, comes to believe that he is ignorant to the true ways of the world, does that make him wise? Possibly so. So, what is the
difference here? The difference is knowledge. I believe, and the dictionary points to the fact that, one must contain a...show more content...
It may be a wise thought, to believe that you are ignorant, because there is so much out there in the world to learn that no human could ever learn it
all; but does wisdom come solely from this admission? If a group of people truly desired wisdom, should they just come to realize that there is so
much in the world to learn that they should never attempt to learn it all, and
therefore be wise because of this? I do not believe so. I believe that for this group to be wise they must search throughout their whole lives for bits of
knowledge that will possibly make them wise, and knowledgeable, in the future. Wisdom, then, seems to be a parallel to knowledge.
When Socrates is searching for men that are wiser that him, he looks at the politicians, poets, and craftsmen of Athens. In the example of the
craftsmen, Socrates states that yes, they must have a knowledge of their craft, but because they were wise in this way, they thought they could speak
knowledgably about many other things that they did not know much about. I agree with Socrates in the fact that many people do carry a false sense of
wisdom, and think that they are right even in situations they know little about. The problem I see here is that Socrates indicates that these craftsmen
must not be wise because they have this false sense of knowledge about other subjects. I believe that these craftsmen could still be wise, and wrong

6. Reflection Paper On Wisdom
When thinking about wisdom it can be interpreted in several different ways. Although, the previous statement is true we all know wisdom to be
defined as having the experience, knowledge, and good judgment. Wisdom plays a major role in the majority of everyone's lives. It is said that
most of us as kids happen to look up to our elders for the wisdom that we seek to be lead on to the right path. Even though in most cases some of us
have the wisdom yet do the exact opposite to have the fulfillment of saying we learned by ourselves or on our own. Wisdom can be looked at as a key
aspect in helping one grow as a person and pass on what they've learned on to the following person.
In the few weeks that I've been in this class wisdom has been shown to me to mean more than just the simple definition. By the readings that I've done
it has helped me see things in a new perspective. Wisdom has been brought to my attention as being known to be the greater the knowledge that is
absorbed the more power one has. For instance, in Socrates case when he accepted the fact that no matter how many different times he tried to get out
of the situation the right way it couldn't be done. In reading about Socrates his knowledge and wisdom put into view that one can't change their fate by
doing something that will only bring consequences. In Crito's point of wisdom he seems to have learned that by escaping instead of facing your
problems that it would still be beneficial despite everything that could

7. Socrates' Pursuit of Wisdom Essay
Philosophy can be defined as the pursuit of wisdom or the love of knowledge. Socrates, as one of the most well–known of the early philosophers,
epitomizes the idea of a pursuer of wisdom as he travels about Athens searching for the true meaning of the word. Throughout Plato's early writings, he
and Socrates search for meanings of previously undefined concepts, such as truth, wisdom, and beauty. As Socrates is often used as a mouthpiece for
Plato's ideas about the world, one cannot be sure that they had the same agenda, but it seems as though they would both agree that dialogue was the
best way to go about obtaining the definitions they sought. If two people begin on common ground in a conversation, as Socrates often tries to do, they
are...show more content...
In order to do this, he goes about Athens questioning those he believes to be wiser than him, including politicians, poets, and craftsmen. Upon this
questioning, he discovers that even those perceived as the wisest actually know far less than one would expect. Even the craftsmen, who have much
practical wisdom in their respective fields, see their success as merely a tribute to their vast knowledge of many subjects. This, Socrates claims, is not
true wisdom. Human wisdom can be described as the acknowledgement and acceptance that one does not know everything, nor is one capable of
knowing everything. This, however, does not mean that people should sit idly by, never pursuing wisdom, for it is still vital to the attainment of a good
life, which should be the ultimate goal of mankind.
After discovering this definition of wisdom, Socrates' mission transforms from one of learning to one of teaching. He sees himself as on a mission
from the god Apollo, who wishes for him to demonstrate his newfound knowledge of the nature of wisdom to all of Athens. Therefore, he continues to
travel about the city and question those he sees as wiser than himself, but this time his purpose is not to glean the meaning of wisdom, but to show the
people he is questioning their own deficiencies in being wise. In this manner, he sees himself as a gadfly on the horse that is Athens. Gadflies are
small, insignificant creatures which have a large impact on the subject of their stinging. They

Reflecting On Wisdom
"Wisdom is a deep understanding and realization of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to apply perceptions, judgments and
actions in keeping with this understanding" (Wikipedia, 2012). Wisdom personifies a particular kind of knowledge, intelligence, and judgment
concentrated on the behavior of an honorable life. Wise people have cultured life's most important teachings. The broad scope of people's
understanding includes the uncertainties of life– that is, knowing what cannot be definitively known. Wisdom is not that of someone well educated, but
that of one whom retains the ability of a happy and healthy life....show more content...
Something that may work for me and even another, may not work for all. I am one that is in control of myself and knows that I am not in control
of others. It is up to another to be in control of his or her own actions. I can only give the advice I am educated on and hope that it can benefit
another. I give my all into anything I am after or trying to support. I am honest, dependable, and committed. When someone is in need of
something, he or she knows they can count on me (a given trait from my mother). When there is a time that a chance is what I have to take, I make
sure I analyze it before just jumping full in (not something that was always easy to do). It took many poor decisions to help me learn that one cannot
always have a leap of faith. In addition to poor decisions, my own personal experiences with relationships have not always been easy. Although, I
give the best of me and always try to work things through, I found that it is not easy with those that are not willing to give it in return. Sometimes it is
best to know when to walk away, even when it is a situation that you hold dearly.
Nevertheless, my mother passed along some great attributes to me and continues to shine through with the wisdom she revives every day.
Unfortunately, not all wisdom that is given is something that is easily to attain. I believe my
