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.

1. Storytelling: Tips to let us in your
world…
- Guidelines Abstracts by Cecilia Ruberto
June 2012.
Credentials and bibliography references slide n. 12
2. The Muscles of imagination: how a story works
You can tell a story!
And the more you do, the better you’ll be.
So don’t be shy, take a chance, make the
plunge, show your stuff, shift your gears, set the
stage, brave the storm, lift your sights—
but, whatever you do,
TELL A STORY!
3. Basic assumptions…
• We all tell stories all the time. When someone asks you how your
day went, that’s an invitation for a story. We allow the listener to
participate in our lives by sharing interesting highlights of events we
experience.
• The first is the worst. Storytelling is a skill that improves with
practice. The scariest part is starting. How did you learn to swim?
By drowning for a while. How did you learn to ride a bike? By falling
many times. To tell a story well, you need to practice. The more you
practice the better you get.
• The audience looking at you wants one thing: Take us away! The
members of the audience are there to go on a story journey, and
the storyteller is there to lead them. Don’t be afraid, the audience
wants to get lost in the tale!
5. Why we want stories…
• One of the greatest human universals is
storytelling. Stories create a common bond
linking past to present, present to future, and
person to person, regardless of ethnic origin.
• Anthropological significance aside, storytelling is
a compelling method of sharing experiences in
order to make sense of our world right here and
now.
• Stories build kinship, allow a glimpse into other
people’s lives – and perhaps let us see ourselves
in the story.

6. So, What’s a Story?
• Good question.
When asked, most people will tell you a story is
something they have read or a fable or fairy tale they’ve
been told. They may tell you the plot to a movie they’ve
seen. Chances are they won’t tell you a story from their
own lives, simply because they don’t know that these
qualify. Nor are they likely to sing you a song or show you
a journal, a dance, a painting, or a cartoon, but they need
to know all these too can be stories.
• For the purpose of this workshop, storytelling will
focus on real life stories and personal histories.
By Word of Mouth: A Storytelling Guide for the Classroom, http://www.prel.org/products/pr_/storytelling.htm
7. How Do You Start?
• Brainstorm. First write down some story ideas. Don’t
get hung up on how good they are. Just brainstorm.
Now put one idea or memory into a sentence. Decide if
you want to tell a story in the first or third person and
what impact that will have on the story.
• Facts, Feelings, and Faces. Next, write or draw down
the sequence of facts. From there, add the
details, descriptions, details, situations, time
reference, colours. Finally, layer the feelings and
emotions.
• Timing. Think about the timing of the story. Don’t be
afraid to cut it up and rearrange it out of real time or
chronological sequence if it sounds better that way.
8. Above all, trust yourself, your audience, and your story. Remember,
anyone who comes to hear a storyteller is already on your side. Just
being a storyteller is magic—even before you say a word.
•
Don’t think you have to be perfect the first time you tell your story. It’s not likely!
But, if you love your story and have prepared it reasonably well, you will surely
give pleasure to your listeners and yourself. And, each time you tell the story, you
and your story will improve.
•
Storytelling is magic in part because it’s personal—so make a personal contact
with your listeners. Talk to them—not at them—and don’t be afraid to talk with
them.
•
Look them in the eyes. If there are too many of them, or you can’t see them all,
look mostly at the ones in front. If some aren’t paying attention, focus on those
who are.
•
As you tell your story, take your time, and give time to your listeners—time to
“see” the story, time to laugh, time to feel, time to reflect, time to hang on the
edge of their seats for what comes next. It’s easy to go too fast, hard to go too
slow.

9. Different way to tell and visualise a story
You can Narrate a story but you can also use others methods to tell a
story. Various tools could help you in creating the context, the
meaning, the understanding of your story.
For example you could use:
• Drawings – preparing drawings that represent your story
• Story knifing (Yaaruiyaraq)- drawing stories with a stick on the sand
while you narrate
• Music
• Videos
• Objects/things to represent your story
• Mime
A story can be told, shown, represented, build.. You can use any
method to take us in your life.
10. Pitfalls of story-telling
• You’re Not Scared, Are You? Crafting a story from your life will not
only increase your comfort level, it will bring you higher selfesteem. And remember: just being a storyteller is magic—even
before you say a word.
• It is true that there are many places where you do not want to call it
“storytelling” if you want to be taken seriously—at least not before
you have tried it. But when you dare to invite people to relate the
experiences behind their thinking, most often they pick up the ball
and run with it.
• Temptation to give unsolicited and sometimes unwanted advices in
response to a story (it is why it is important to set ground rules each
time). A story should not be judged.
11. Famous quotations
•
“You have to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between truth and a human being is a
story.”
Anthony de Mello, from One Minute Wisdom
•
“The tale is often wiser than the teller.”
Susan Fletcher (as Marjan, in Shadow Spinner)
•
“That’s the trouble with you sad-city types: a place has to be miserable and dull as ditchwater before you
believe it’s real.”
Salman Rushdie (as Blabbermouth, in Haroun and the Sea of Stories)
•
“God made man because he loves stories.”
Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlev (as quoted by Steve Sanfield)
•
“Stories tell us of what we already knew and forgot, and remind us of what we haven’t yet imagined.”
Anne Watson
•
“We can never know truth, but some stories are better than others.”
Aaron Shepard
