The document discusses the US government's Shared Values Initiative (SVI), a post-9/11 public diplomacy campaign aimed at improving America's image in the Muslim world through advertising. It provides context on the campaign's launch and execution in various countries. While recall of the ads' messages was high, the effectiveness of the campaign is debated as many saw it as propaganda. Critics argue advertising is not suited to diplomatic goals. Later surveys showed some shift toward more positive views of how Muslims are treated in the US.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.
Operation âBlue Starâ 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.

Editor's Notes
After the terrorists attacks of 9-11, some companies used the tragedy directly or indirectly to market their products.
General Motors launched the campaign, "Keep America Rolling," offering zero percent financing deals on new cars and trucks, andThe New York Sports Club encouraged New Yorkers to "Keep America Strong" by joining the gym.Recovery from tragedy came with a corporate sponsor and was endorsed by President Bush and Mayor Giuliani, who encouraged citizens to fight terror through shopping, to practice citizenship through consumerism.
Non-profits and civil rights groups got involved too. The Ad Council, for example, created PSAs like this to unify the nation across racial lines and inspire patriotism.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations ran campaigns after 9-11 too, to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protectcivil liberties, empower American Muslims and build coalitionsthat promote justice and mutual understanding.
And then the US government got involved.Advertising is persuasive communication used to change consumersâ attitudes, usually toward a product or brand.But can advertising be used to promote America internationally? In the wake of the 9-11 attacks and the anti-American sentiment in predominantly Muslim countries, Secretary of State Colin Powell thought so,and he decided to bring experts in persuasive communication to Washington to âbrandâ America and market American values to the world.
Colin Powell hired star advertising executive Charlotte Beers to head up public diplomacy at the US State Department.Beers is widely known as the only advertising executive, male or female, to serve as head of 2 of the top 10 ad agencies worldwide, Ogilvy and Mather and J. Walter Thompson.She was sworn in as the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs on Oct. 2, 2001, just weeks after the 9-11 attacks.
Staying true to her marketing past, Beers did extensive consumer research to uncover core belief systems based on personal values.She found 57 different values that exist throughout the world, and randomly selected citizens in various countries to rank them.The biggest differences between the United States and Muslim countries were between views of modesty, obedience, perseverance and freedom.The most significant agreement between the US and Muslim countries were among values of faith, family and education, so Beers focused her campaign on these common interests, or âShared Values.â
Her most notable campaign was the Shared Values Initiative, which consisted of numerous communication techniques.Among these was a 60-page, full-color magazine titled Muslim Life in America.The campaign was produced in English and various Middle-Eastern languages and dialects including Arabic, Farsi and Urdu.The most visible component of the campaign was a series of 5 television commercials that the State Department called âmini-documentaries.âThe commercials used a âslice-of-lifeâ format that showed happy and prosperous American Muslims actively practicing their religion.
âBakerâ profiles an average day in a bakery in Toledo, Ohio owned by a Lebanese family and highlights their interaction with a non-American Muslim clientele.âDoctorâ showcases the accomplishments of Dr. Elias Zerhouni from Algeria, whom President George W. Bush named Director of National Institutes of Health. The commercial shows Dr. Zerhouni shaking hands with the president.âSchool Teacherâ features a public school teacher wearing a hijab while teaching elementary school children.âJournalistâ follows an Indonesian journalism student at the University of Missouri as she reports for the schoolâs newscast.And âFirefighterâ focuses on 2 New York City employees, a firefighter who talks about his experience during 9-11 and a Muslim chaplain who explains how he meets the needs of people who work for the city.The end of each commercial features the line, âA message from The Council of American Muslims for Understandingâ before fading into a second line, âAnd the American People.â
Hereâs one of the mini-documentaries.
Started in Indonesia where 80 percent of its population is Muslim.Unfortunately, many Arab countries refused to run the spots because they were thought to be based on propaganda.Al Jazeera initially considered it an honor to accept US anti-terror messages, but later refused to air the sports. The State Department later said that Al Jazeera wanted too much money.State-run media systems and pan-Arab satellites reached Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia,Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates,Kenya and Tanzania.There is debate over whether the commercials were discontinued per the media flowcharts or because they failed to resonate with the Muslim audience, but US State Department spokesperson Richard Boucher said it was simply the end of the first phase. He said that only half of the $15 million budget had been spent, and the SVI is still in progress.
In an analysis by Patrick Lee Plaisance of Colorado State University years after the SVI, he questions the ethics of the Shared Values Initiative based on 10 qualifications.American ideology of universal egalitarianismPresented US as victims of 9-11 to combat misperceptions3-6. StatedSpecial techniques for emotional resonance:Message appears to be coming from within the target audience, use of universal symbols of power (Dr. Zerhouni at the podium, FDNY uniform, white children), and music in âBakerâ to suggest integration.By these standards, the SVI is in fact propaganda. Jacques Ellul argues that propaganda is not a strategy, but an all-encompassing ethos of an information society preoccupied with efficiency.
State Department has never offered a definitive answer.Beers told CNN that the campaign would be successful if it started a dialogue about things which we have in common.The high campaign recall scores suggest that these objectives may have been accomplished.But members of Congress, the press, the ad industry and former diplomats consider SVI a failure and reject the idea that advertising professionals have a place in the State Department.
William Drake â Carnegie Endowment for International Peace â quote references former clientColin Powell defended Beers: âShe got me to buy Uncle Benâs rice. And thereâs nothing wrong with getting someone who knows how to sell something.âMargaret Carlson of TIME Magazine said, âUncle Sam is harder to sell these days than Uncle Benâs ever was.â2. PBS3. Malaysian newspaper4. Ad Age
Fullerton and Kendrick designed a pre-post test experiment to measure the campaignâs success.
In all samples, attitudes toward the US government were more positive. The change in attitude were found to be statistically significant.In Singapore, although not in London or Cairo, participants reported more positive attitudes toward US people.The campaign was most successful in changing peopleâs perceptions regarding Muslimsâ lives in the US.Both women and Muslims had the most positive attitudes after viewing the SVI spots.These findings suggest that the commercials did in fact change attitudes among international audiences.
A series of surveys conducted by the nonprofit research organization Public Agenda identified public concerns that were reaching what they called the Tipping Point.Between mid-2005 and January 2006, the only public concern shown to be on the decline was concerns over US relations with the Muslim World.This provides further proof that the SVI could be working.
So is government advertising ethical? Do government-sponsored advertising campaigns violate citizensârights to think and live as they please? Should the government be spending taxpayer money on advertising?This chart shows estimated spending by the executive branch on advertising services contracts over 10 years.The five agencies that spent the most on advertising in 2011 were the Dept. of Defense, Dept. of Health and Human Services, The Dept. of the Treasury, the Dept. of Transportation and the Dept. of Homeland Security.As you can see, spending has increased since the SVI, so itâs evident that the our leaders do see a place for advertising in government.
In all samples, attitudes toward the US government were more positive. The change in attitude were found to be statistically significant.In Singapore, although not in London or Cairo, participants reported more positive attitudes toward US people.The campaign was most successful in changing peopleâs perceptions regarding Muslimsâ lives in the US.Both women and Muslims had the most positive attitudes after viewing the SVI spots.These findings suggest that the commercials did in fact change attitudes among international audiences.
