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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

5. TEACHER’S PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH
O Blessed Saint Joseph,
guardian of the Child Jesus,
we pray that you will help us
in our daily troubles and tribulations
as we try to pass on to our students
all the teachings that they need,
to be able to succeed in their chosen professions.
Help us to teach,
and help them to learn.
Guide us all as you guided your most Holy Son,
Jesus.
Obtain for us the graces we need,
not only to teach and to learn,
but to stay on the path shown
by the Light of Christ.
Amen.
11. 78. By their witness and their
behaviour, teachers are of
the first importance to
impart a distinctive character
to Catholic schools.
12. It is, therefore, indispensable to
ensure their continuing formation
through some form of suitable
pastoral provision.
13. This must aim to animate them as witnesses of
Christ in the classroom and tackle the
problems of their particular apostolate,
especially regarding a Christian vision of the
world and of education, problems also
connected with the art of teaching in
accordance with the principles of the Gospel.
14. Only one who has this conviction and accepts
Christ's message, who has a love for and
understands today's young people, who
appreciates what people's real problems and
difficulties are, will be led to contribute with
courage and even audacity to the progress of
this apostolate in building up a Catholic school…
34. 1. Emphasis on popular music (which include
swearing and sexual lyrics)
2. revealing clothes
3. suggestive dance moves
4. algorithm designed for maximum hunger for
likes, followers and comments (famewhore)
42. Evangelization in the Modern World (Evangelii Nuntiandi), #21
Pope Paul VI, 1975
Modern man listens more willingly
to witnesses than to teachers, and if
he does listen to teachers, it is
because they are witnesses.”
43. The Catholic School, # 43
Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, 1977.
The nobility of the task to which teachers are called
demands that, in imitation of Christ, the only
Teacher, they reveal the Christian message not only
by word but also by every gesture of their behavior.
46. The Catholic School, # 78
Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, 1977.
By their witness and their behavior teachers are
of the first importance to impart a distinctive
character to Catholic schools.
47. The Religious Dimension of Education in a Catholic School: Guidelines for Reflection and Renewal, #111.
Congregation for Catholic Education, 1988.
Each of the students has his or her own life, family
and social background, and these are not always
happy situations. They feel the unrest of the child or
adolescent, which grows more intense as they face
the problems and worries of a young person
approaching maturity. Teachers will pray for each of
them, that the grace present in the Catholic school’s
milieu may permeate their whole person, ….
49. The Religious Dimension of Education in a Catholic School: Guidelines for Reflection and Renewal, #111.
Congregation for Catholic Education, 1988.
And the students will learn that they must pray for
their teachers. As they get older, they will come to
appreciate the pain and the difficulties that teaching
involves. They will pray that the educational gifts of
their teachers may be more effective, that they may
be comforted by success in their work, that grace
may sustain their dedication and bring them peace in
their work.
52. Educating Together in Catholic Schools: A Shared Mission between Consecrated Persons and the Lay Faithful,
#4.
Congregation for Catholic Education, 2007.
The project of the Catholic school is
convincing only if carried out by people
who are deeply motivated, because they
witness to a living encounter with Christ,
53. Canon #803 §2.
The instruction and education in a Catholic
school must be grounded in the principles of
Catholic doctrine; teachers are to be
outstanding in correct doctrine and integrity of
life.
55. – Address of the Saint
Pope John Paul II to the
Bishops of the
Ecclesiastical Regions of
Chicago, Indianapolis,
and Milwaukee (USA) on
Their “Ad Limina” Visit,
May 30, 1998
58. “The mission of the
Catholic school is the
integral formation of
students, so that they
may be true to their
condition as Christ’s
disciples and as such work
effectively for the
evangelization of culture
and for the common good
of society.”
– Address of the Saint Pope John Paul II to the Bishops of the
Ecclesiastical Regions of Chicago, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee
(USA) on Their “Ad Limina” Visit, May 30, 1998
59. “Catholic education aims
not only to communicate
facts, but also to transmit
a coherent,
comprehensive vision of
life, in the conviction that
the truths contained in
that vision liberate
students in the most
profound meaning of
human freedom.”
Address of the Holy Father Pope John Paul II to the Bishops of
the Ecclesiastical Regions of Chicago, Indianapolis, and
Milwaukee (USA) on Their “Ad Limina” Visit, May 30, 1998
62. A good school provides a rounded
education for the whole person. And
a good Catholic school, over and
above this, should help all its
students to become saints.
Pope Benedict XVI
64. Let us thank all those who teach
in Catholic schools. Educating is
an act of love; it is like giving life.
Pope Francis
65. Our Catholic schools exist
to help young people attain
holiness in their lives, that
is, to become saints.
Salvatore J. Cordileone
66. “The duty of a good teacher , all the
more for a Christian teacher , is to love
his or her more difficult, weaker, more
disadvantaged students with greater
intensity. Jesus would say, if you love
only those who study, who are well
educated, what merit do you have?
And there are some who make us lose
our patience, but we must love them
even more!
Pope Francis, Address, 2015
83. Jesus, the ultimate Great Teacher, gave
everyone a chance. Think of the tax
collectors and prostitutes. Surely there is
hope for those who some perceive as the
least able or willing of students.
