We present this presentation in the ESRI Education Conference 2014. This presentation takes a look at the relationship between language courses in a district and the surrounding community.
Submitted Abstract: America has been known as a multicultural country. For that reason, the curriculum in education institutions have grown to accommodate the need of learning a new language by students. Would it be beneficial when the institutions are offering classes in a specific language,i.e. Vietnamese, in a vicinity where are a large Vietnamese-speaking population? Is there a relationship between the distance of the community and the institution and the language course offered? We can explore this phenomenon.

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.

17. Implications
-Data for languages are disparate
-Weak correlation between language and the
surrounding community
-Districts should offer more related language courses
to match with the community
18. Next step
-Expand the study into other districts
-Expand the study into other institution types
-Explore the reasons behind the association between
language courses offered and the surrounding
community.
