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.

Editor's Notes
I believe this quote from the late Robyn Williams is very apt when talking about our digital strategy
There will be lots of words spoken today but my challenge for you is to help make the future extraordinary! Make your words matter. The future is not something we enter but something we create.
Although words are cheap and we need to avoid simplistic slogans, DCU is very much a University focused on the future. The NIDL is evidence of our commitment to supporting new models of learning and teaching. I’m often asked why I moved from New Zealand to Ireland and I can honestly say that the major attraction was the opportunity to work at such an “extraordinary” university. DCC is a modern 21syt Century digital-era university with a strong vision and steadfast mission of transforming lives and societies.
The level of innovation at DCU is extraordinary given the current challenging environment. Last month under the leadership of… Lego Education Innovation Studio.
Earlier this month as part of our 1916 commenerations we launched the Mindrising initiative.
And MOOC woth more to come undfer the DCU Open Academy.
