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.
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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
5. MEGACITIES
Source: Urban World: Mapping the Economic Power of Cities, Mc Kinsey, March 2011
6. GLOBALIZATION
Megacities are particularly vulnerable to natural
disasters because (Wisner, 2003) their scale and
geographic complexity make it difficult to provide the
lifeline and transportation infrastructure necessary for
risk reduction. Many mega-cities are usually located in
geographically hazardous locations such as coastal
areas or seismically active zones, making them
susceptible to floods, windstorms, wild fires,
earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes.

15. MITIGATION
The magnitude of GHG reduction by waste management
• The example of Europe
• What the EU has done
–Regulation and investment in waste management
–Prevention, minimization, reuse, recycling and energetic valorization
activities and gradual reduction of landfilling
–will make the municipal waste sector a net GHG reducer in 2012-
2020
• The mitigation is very success
– Decline of EU municipal waste emissions between 1990-2007 from
69 to 32 million tonnes of CO2
–Waste management GHG reductions could potentially account for
18% of the EU’s Kyoto target for 2020
• This can be replicated worldwide
–UNEP (2010) on Waste and Climate Change:
–… the waste sector is in a unique position to move from being a
minor source of global emissions to becoming a major saver of
emissions
16. NAMA´s
Background
• In 2007, the Bali Action Plan introduced the notion of
Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) as a
central concept for the consolidation of the international
climate regime (UNFCCC, 2008).
• The purpose was targeting actions that other
mechanisms, such as the CDM, have failed to develop at
the required scale as well as engaging developing
countries efforts to mitigate global climate change.
• Countries are currently trying to agree on how support for
NAMAs can be realised and according to available
information, currently there are at least 52 NAMAs having
been developed at the preparation stage.
17. NAMAs and the CDM
• The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) provides a
way for developed countries to help meet emissions
limits committed under the Kyoto Protocol through
purchase of additional project-based emissions
reductions from developing countries.
• NAMAs, on the other hand, were primarily conceived
as a way for developing countries—with financial and
technological support from the international
community—to make progress in reducing their own
domestic greenhouse gas emissions from one or more
emitting sectors.
18. The NAMA concept
1. There is currently no internationally agreed definition of
a NAMA outside of text that is still under negotiation in
the UNFCCC. As such NAMAs as a vehicle to achieve
reductions of greenhouse gas emissions and climate
change mitigation is being built , standardized and
agreed upon in climate negotiations.
2. A number of subtly different descriptions exist, mostly
based on that text.
3. The Cancun Agreements (UNFCCC, 2011b) refer to
NAMAs in, inter alia, the following:
– 1/CP.16-48. Agrees that developing country Parties will take
nationally appropriate mitigation actions in the context of
sustainable development, supported and enabled by
technology, financing and capacity-building, aimed at achieving
a deviation in emissions relative to ‘business as usual’
emissions in 2020.
19. The NAMA concept
1.The broad definition of NAMAs and the wide variation of
Party submissions (and negotiating positions) could
mean that NAMAs have potential to develop into a
widely applicable instrument.
2.Notwithstanding the fact that there is a wide applicability
for NAMAS, key components of the instrument are
provision of financial and technological support from
developed countries to implement NAMAs.
3.Initially capacity building for NAMA preparation and
studies aimed at identifying, prioritizing, and selecting
NAMAs is being undertaken by different UN agencies
with funding provided by some developed countries.
20. The NAMA concept
1. NAMAs have been categorized as follows:
Unilateral NAMAs: mitigation actions undertaken
by developing countries on their own
Supported NAMAs: mitigation actions in
developing countries, supported by direct climate
finance from Annex I countries (in the following
called ‘directly supported NAMAs’)
Credited NAMAs: mitigation actions in developing
countries, which generate credits to be sold on the
carbon market (e.g. sectoral crediting).
21. The three categories of NAMAs
1.There is a common understanding that the financing
structure of a NAMA may consist of:
i. Domestic funding by the developing country (so-called
‘unilateral NAMAs’);
ii. international support(‘supported NAMAs’); and,
iii.income from a market based mechanism ( ‘credited NAMAs’).
2.Unilateral NAMAs could include actions that do not
pose an undue burden on the government budget or
actions undertaken primarily for development
reasons.
3.Funds for internationally supported NAMAs could be
allocated directly, on a bilateral basis, or through an
international fund such as the Green Climate Fund
(GCF) that has been established following the Cancun
and Durban Agreements (UNFCCC).
22. FINANCING
1.Income from market-based mechanisms could take the
form of resources incoming from a carbon market,
similar to the one created by the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) offset system and the European
Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
2.However, in terms of scale NAMAs would be going far
beyond the project or even of Activities scale (under the
CDM), to the economy Programme wide or sector wide
level.
23. ISWA Technical Support Unit (TSU)
Objectives
– ISWA should play a leading role in contributing to
identify, develop and implement NAMAs in developing
countries.
• Use the the capacity to be installed at the TSU to
prepare NAMAs proposals for developing countries
consideration and identify as well as facilitate access
to funding.
• Disseminate information and provide inputs on the
evolution of the climate change negotiation process
24. Implementation
– In the first stage an expert team will be established to
interact with national designated authorities and climate
change focal points, identify and consider opportunities
for NAMAs in the waste sector, elaborate NAMAs
proposals and identify funding sources and options.
– In the second stage an additional ISWA staff member
will be responsible for the project management of the
NAMAs support activities and cooperation with the
expert team.
25. Benefits (institutional)
– Expanded awareness of opportunities to mitigate
climate change through national actions in the waste
sector, in particular in developing countries.
– Demonstration, via NAMAs, of the contribution of the
waste management activities to sustainable
development and the transition to a green economy
– Strengthening ISWA’s role in the international arena in
sustainability issues and in addressing climate change
by providing technical support to developing countries
– Quantitative empirical indicators of the positive
contribution of waste management in mitigation of
climate change
