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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin

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.

Preliminary Task Evaluation
1.
2. How well did you plan your production
and what methods did you use?
0 We had roughly around two weeks to put together an
entire plan/overview of our production.
0 We started by laying out the building bricks for our
production, this is things such as when and where the
production of this media would take place. We used are
collective media knowledge to get things done quickly
and stay within the planning time given to us. This also
allowed us to put more time into the physical side of the
production; filming and editing.
3. What influenced your
choice of theme?
0 After finding out the preliminary task, we discussed as a
group how to set things into motion. We decided that
we best ought to start by figuring out what the plot of
our production was going to be and where it was going
to be set. We decided it would be about an undercover
investigator infiltrating a secret poker game by an
underground gambling ring. We also decided that we
would film in the college as this was easiest for all of us.
0 We always knew that the theme of our production was
going to be gambling, the issue was implementing this
theme into our plot.
4. Was this an effective method?
0 I feel that we were able to successfully carry out the
preliminary task as every member of our group was
able to contribute towards the final production by
putting their ideas forward. We had many group
discussions which gave us all a good number of
opportunities to do this. I feel that this method was
VERY effective as it allowed us to resolve any conflict
between us and I believe that it made every member of
the group feel as though they had done their part
towards the project.
5. How well did your product
meet the original proposal?
0 Our original proposal seemed feasible during the planning of
our project, but when it came to production of the project we
soon realised that due to the short amount of time given to
us some changes would have to be made. This lead to us
deciding to film the project in an open area instead of a
room in the college as this would take too much organising
as we are not all available at the same time, making this
challenging.
0 While our original proposal had the two main characters
dressed in black suits/smart wear, we decided to just wear
our own clothes as long as the colour was black.
0 Overall I feel that the product was as close to the original
proposal as it could be.
6. What meaning would you attach to
Camera Composition & Movement on
shots?
0 The word composition describes the placement of
relative objects and elements in a work of art. Because
of this, it is clear that camera composition is what is
currently in the lens and what is being captured.
0 Movement is the effect that panning and tilting have
on the shots. Panning is the rotation or pivot of a
motion picture or video camera horizontally from a
fixed position.
7. What meaning would you
attach to Mise en Scene?
0 Mise en scene translates to “everything in the scene”.
0 Mise en scene is:
- Setting & Props
- Costume, Hair & Make Up
- Facial Expressions and Body Language
- Lighting and Colour
- Positioning of characters/objects within the frame
8. What meaning would you attach to
Diegetic and Non-Diegetic Sound?
0 Diegetic sound is any sound present within the film's
world. Diegetic sounds match what is being shown on
screen. For example, if a character on screen shoots a
gun, a diegetic sound of this would be the sound of the
gun shot.
0 On the other hand, Non-diegetic sound is sound that’s
not from within the film’s world. This can be things such
as background music and narrator commentary.
