Laura Mulvey developed the theory of the "Male Gaze" which argues that cinema is directed towards appealing to heterosexual men by over-sexualizing women. She identified three ways this occurs: how men view women, how women view other women, and how women view themselves. The document discusses how the characters Ellie and Sam in the short film "Promise" could be seen as subject to the Male Gaze by portraying the female character as beautiful until the end in order to not make audiences uncomfortable.
This is the theory revision I created for my A2 Media group a couple of years ago. There is some general narrative theory, Media theory Laura Mulvey etc and Racial Representation theory, Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy, bell hooks etc. This was based on Media and Collective Identity focusing on the representation of black culture in British Film and American Music Videos.

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.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Laura Mulvey- The Male Gaze
Mulvey is best known for her work, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema", written in
1973 and published in 1975 in the influential British film theory journal Screen. Her
theories include how cinema is merely directed to appeal to the heterosexual male
and that women because of this is are subject to a ‘Male Gaze’. The theory looks into
three separate categories:
i) How men view women –Mulvey says that women are over sexualised in cinema
to appeal to a male audience.
ii) How women view other women- She goes on to discuss how women have
become focused on the way other women look and comparing themselves
while doing so.
iii) How women view themselves- This links again to how women are more likely to
feel at competition because of how women are represented on the big screen.
In terms of its connection to our short film, one could argue that Ellie and Sam are
both subjects to the Gaze as they are young and in the eyes of cinema attractive
individuals. The fact we have chosen to still show Ellie as beautiful until the end would
represent how our film would support Mulvey’s theory in that women are only
represented in this way in cinema as it would be otherwise discomforting to an
audience.
3. Stuart Hall
Hall became one of the main proponents of reception theory,
and developed his theory of encoding and decoding. It focuses
on the scope for negotiation and opposition on the part of the
audience. His theory covers dominant, oppositional, and
negotiated readings of representation and explains how
depending on our social status we receive certain texts. This
would link to our short film ‘Promise’ as it would seem to a
dominant reader that the father is a cruel and controlling
figure that is the obstacle between Sam and Ellie’s
relationship. An oppositional reader would say there is a
reason for his behaviour and that he is simply trying to fulfill
his role as a father and a protector. Finally , and negotiated
reader would say that yes Dave’s behaviour is very controlling
and he does keep his daughter from being able to live in the
little time she has left but there is a reason behind it.
4. David Gauntlett
David Gauntlett (born 15 March 1971) is a British
sociologist and media theorist. His earlier work
concerned contemporary media audiences, and has
moved towards a focus on the everyday making and
sharing of digital media and social media, and the role of
such media in self-identity and self-expression. In 2007,
Gauntlett published the article Media Studies 2.0, an
article that argues that the traditional form of media
studies research fails to recognise the changing media
categories of 'audiences' and 'producers' blurring
together, and that new research methods and approaches
are needed.
5. Jean Baudrillard
• Hyperreality- “A condition in which ‘reality’ has been
replaced with simulacra.”
• Simulacra- “When a sign loses its relation to reality and
begins to simulate a simulation.”
An example of Baudrillard’s hyper reality would be
celebrity culture. Celebrities who reach the point where
they have every aspect of their lives taken over by
someone else and they are living in a hyperreal world.
They lose the ability to interact with people on a normal
level and are cocooned in hyperreality. Similarly, film was
created to represent reality and now it is reality and that
is representing what happens in film.
