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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Stalker Updated
1. Lucine looked around the hall. It wasn't that crowded. Lunch period
wasn't over yet. She had just come to her locker to get her jacket, it was really cold in the lunch
room, when another note appeared inside her locker. She frowned, resting her back against her locker.
“Not again...” she muttered.
“Not again what?” Lucine jumped. She didn't even see Akira standing across the hall. He was so hidden
between the opening in the closed wall by the water fountain.
“Nothing...” she glanced down at the note, quickly reading it.
“Hello, my sweet Lucine. Hope your day was well. I can't wait until we meet! It will be soon for sure,
I'm just dying to kiss your pink, sweet lips for the first time.” it read. She felt like she was about to
barf.
“Disgusting!” she thought. Akira grabbed it from her hand, reading it. His eye brows slunk, into his
angry face.
“I'm going to find this creep, and beat his face in!” he tore up the note, and tossed it in the trash can
with rage. No one embarrassed his best friend and talked to her like that. He stormed off...
Lately, Lucine had been getting strange love notes, flowers, and chocolates in
her locker. She thought it was sweet and childish, and not such a bad thing, once he started getting
crude. He talked of wanting to kiss her, and do inappropriate things to her. Then her brother's, Akira,
and Seiichi started to read them and get angry. They were on the look out for this boy. Their parent's
didn't know. But that's how Lucine wanted it to stay. What is they called the police? Or school
authorities? No.. that was a bad idea. He could just be a silly boy with a small crush and they'd
probably stop soon, anyways. No one needed to get hurt because of a fool. The bell rang. Lunch period
was over... time to get to English class... She took out her books and walked to her class as the
hallways started to fill up with kids getting ready to go to their next class. She quickly glanced
around cautiously as to say anything peculiar. She shook it off, thinking of the whole thing as “silly”
and walked to class nonchalantly.
English class was dreadful. It was so boring! Lucine was very smart,
especially in English, literature, or any of the other language arts. She knew everything the teacher
was teaching already. She twirled her hair, thinking about random things, like what she wanted for
dinner, what kind of new phone she was going to buy with her birthday money... She layed her head down
on her desk and closed her eyes. She fell asleep.
The loud bell roared to life, declaring English was over. Thank god! She got
up, gathering her things and going to her locker. She opened it, and a note fell out to the floor.
“Oh my god!” she sighed with frustration. Bending down, she picked it up, unfolded it, and read it aloud to
herself.
“Aww, I'm so scared that little class-skipping Akira is going to beat my face in. How could he do that if
he's dead! LOL LOL LOL! Isn't the new text talk fascinating? Anyway, talk soon, have fun in Gym, love
you! Signed, your stalker!”
“What the hell?” was it a threat? She was confused... Could this person be dangerous? She needed to
call Akira and warn him, now. She reached in her pocket and dug out her Nokia cell phone, dialing her
brother.
“Hello?” said Akira's voice on the other end.
“Akira?”
“Yeah?” Lucine shut her locker door, taking out her gym clothes and walking into the locker room.
Tears filled her eyes thinking about Akira ever dying.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah, why? Are you?”
“I'm fine. Listen, I got a note... more like a threat. He said you can't 'beat his face in' if your dead...”
“What?”
She sniffled, wiping her eyes with her shirt sleeve.
“Okay, it's okay. Nothing could happen to me. I'm a tough guy. Skip class and go home, alright?”
“Alright..” she said.
“Bye, I love you...” she pressed the end button.
Lucine felt weird as she walked home. Like someone was...following her. She
stayed close to the houses and walked at a faster pace. She felt so weird, and worried for Akira. She
felt like calling a taxi, but remembered she had no money but $8 for a pizza from the school cafeteria.
She sighed. One more block and she was home. A van pulled up next to her. She looked to the side
nervously.
“Need a ride?”
“N-no thank you.” she kept walking. He pulled up to her.
“I said no thank you, okay!”
“Suit yourself, your missing a good time,” he said, and drove away, going twice the speed of the speed
limit.
She sulked. Was that the stalker? No.. It couldn't be. Most people in her
school didn't have cars yet.. Maybe it was a faculty member? No, she doubted that. She kept walking
home, walker quicker, that random man with the van in her mind, kidnapping her or something...
She sighed with relief as she unlocked the door to her house, shutting and
locking it.
“Khirana?” she called out. Khirana was the maid. She was usually home during the day, and left after
she cooked dinner.
“Yes, sweetie?” she walked down the long winding stair case, holding a full basin full of laundry.
“When your done with that,” Lucine nodded toward the laundry basin in her hands,
“Could we talk?”
“Oh, yes, sure sweetie. You can always talk to me.” she smiled, walking down the stairs and then down
2. the hallway to the laundry room.
Lucine was glad she had someone to talk to about this. She knew Khirana
wouldn't tell her parents if Lucine asked her not to. And she was a good listener and advice giver.
Lucine always liked Khirana. Khirana is rather old, but she was around even when Lucine was a little
girl. They had become close.
