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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. It’s the economy, stupid (Clinton campaign slogan,
1992)
James Callaghan, Ruskin College speech, 18 Oct
1976
I am concerned on my journeys to find complaints
from industry that new recruits from the schools
sometimes do not have the basic tools to do the
job that is required….to the teacher, I would say
that you must satisfy the parents and industry that
what you are doing meets their requirements and
the needs of our children.

3. Three questions to ask of any assessment:
1. What is the principal purpose of this
assessment?
2. Is the form of the assessment fit for
purpose?
3. Does it achieve its purpose?
Three broad groupings:
1. Selection and certification
2. Determining and raising standards
3. Formative assessment – assessment for
learning
Quality Education & Training:
3 Towards a Better Future
4. Assessment = the process of firstly gathering
evidence, and secondly interpreting that evidence in
the light of some defined criterion in order to form a
judgement (Harlen, 1994)
Why do we assess? (P. Black et al, 1987):
• Diagnostic assessment to identify students’ learning needs
• Formative assessment to support and encourage learning
• Summative assessment to identify learning outcomes
• Evaluative assessment which is directed at assessing the
quality of provision in institutions and in the system as a
whole
Quality Education & Training:
Towards a Better Future
5. • Certification of achievement (competence)
• Selection (competition)
• The evaluation of provision (content)
• The control of both individual aspirations and systemic
functioning (control)
Importance of the relationship between curriculum and assessment
Who assesses (teachers, students themselves, government)?
What is assessed (knowledge, practical skills, social/emotional
skills)?
When to assess (for formative purposes, as summative use)?
How to assess (norm-referenced, criterion-referenced, ipsative)?

• High point during Ming dynasty (1368 – 1662)
• Relied on rote knowledge
• Extremely low pass rate
• Despite extraordinary security, people still found
ways to cheat
• Still, ‘it is estimated that up to 60 percent of the
successful candidates came from families that were
not part of the administrative elite’ (Stobart 2008)

7. 19th Century enthusiasm for testing
• Antithesis of corruption and patronage
• Testing of basic abilities as well as attainments and
skills
• Ability = merit
• Talent = virtue

8. Diagnostic assessment
• Origins in ascertaining who would profit from
specialist schooling
• Alfred Binet 1905 – 1908, one to one diagnostics,
spatial, verbal and numerical sub-tests
• US and Great Britain change to written IQ tests –
assumption that intelligence is fixed
Assessment to set and raise standards
• Entrance examinations to universities
• Backwash effect on curriculum
Assessment as accountability
• Payment by results

9. The children … were drilled in the contents of those books until they knew
them almost by heart. In arithmetic they worked abstract sums, in obedience
to formal rules, day after day, and month after month; and they were put up
to various tricks and dodges which would, it was hoped, enable them to
know by what precise rules the various questions on the arithmetic card
were to be answered.
Not a thought was given, except in a small minority of schools, to the real
training of the child, to the fostering of his mental (and other) growth. To
get him through the yearly examination by hook or by crook was the one
concern of the teacher.
As profound distrust of the teacher was the basis of the policy of the
department, so profound distrust of the child was the basis of the policy of
the teachers.
To leave the child to find anything out for himself, to think out anything for
himself, would have been regarded as proof of incapacity, no to say insanity,
on the part of the teacher, and would have led to results which, from the
‘percentage’ point of view, would probably have been disastrous.

10. • The term ‘assessment purpose’ can be interpreted in
a variety of different ways: judgement level;
decision level; impact level
• The uses to which assessment results are put are
often categorized misleadingly
Purposes/uses
Where assessment systems are supposed to
support more than one purpose, the purposes
must be prioritized
•
Quality Education & Training:
Towards a Better Future
11. • Distinction between formative and summative
assessment is spurious
• Summative characterises a type of assessment
judgement = summing up appraisal of
performance
• Formative characterises a type of use to which
assessment judgements are put = using
assessment to achieve a formative purpose,
which can include summative assessment
