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.

EARLY WRITING
13. His Writing Style
● His style is graceful, marked by genial humour, elegance, and simplicity.
● According to Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri, Narayan's short stories have
the same captivating feeling as his novels, with most of them less than ten pages
long, and taking about as many minutes to read. She adds that Narayan provides
the reader something novelists struggle to achieve in hundreds more pages: a
complete insight to the lives of his character between the title sentence and the
ends.
● Critics have noted that Narayan's writings tend to be more descriptive and less
analytical; the objective style, rooted in a detached spirit, providing for a more
authentic and realistic narration.
● Narayan's writing style was often compared to that of William Faulkner since
both their works brought out the humour and energy of ordinary life while
displaying compassionate humanism
● Although their approach to subjects was similar, their methods were different;
Faulkner was rhetorical and illustrated his points with immense prose while
Narayan was very simple and realistic, capturing the elements all the same.
14. R.k.Narayan’s Contribution to
Indian English Literature
● Narayan's greatest achievement was making India accessible to the outside
world through his literature. He is regarded as one of the three leading English
language Indian fiction writers, along with Raja Rao and Mulk Raj Anand.
● He has devoted himself exclusive to writing a rare observable fact in the
modern Indian literature. His little dreams of middle class life are enacted in
Malgudi, an imaginary small town in south India which comes to be felt as a
living ambience in his fiction.
● The place that R K Narayan occupies in Indian English literature is hailed by the
critics in India as well as other countries. He set the stage open for the authors
to come and display their creative skills. To conclude, he was very essential
phenomenon for Indian English writing.
15. C0nclusion
To Conclude , R.K.Narayan continues to rule over the
heart of his readers. Simple yet extraordinary, that has been
the appeal of his works. India and its small town life have
been his plots, his character sketches are universal. Children
love his works and peculiar characters; truly he is a
common man’s writer.
