This document discusses concepts related to race and ethnicity. It defines key terms like race, ethnicity, and minority groups. It notes that race is a social construct while ethnicity relates to shared cultural traits. Minority groups are those that a society subordinates based on real or perceived physical/cultural differences. Prejudice involves rigid generalizations about groups, and discrimination is acting on prejudice by treating groups unequally. Theories of prejudice include scapegoating disadvantaged groups, an authoritarian personality, and cultural transmission of biases. Patterns of interaction between racial/ethnic groups include pluralism, assimilation, segregation, and genocide. The document then provides an overview of the racial and ethnic composition of the United States, describing the histories
Race and ethnicity are used to categorize certain sections of the population. In basic terms, race describes physical traits, and ethnicity refers to cultural identification. Race may also be identified as something you inherit while ethnicity is something you learn.

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.
