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 X eat a balanced diet. A Guardian article describes:
‘Sweets are eaten sparingly; hunks of crusty bread are
accompanied by handfuls of radishes or fresh fruit…
Despite an abundance of humbugs, toffees and ginger
pop, when grouped into the five main food categories
(fruit and vegetable; meat and fish; dairy; starchy
foods; high fat/sugar foods), no one group outweighs
another.
This healthy but not hearty diet of the X is consistent
with the post WWII dietary history.
ID X from their very famous diet.
10. ID

12. ID
X is the most British of shows, yet has Americans
transfixed. The show is ‘... so good-natured and mild
mannered, while still being completely absorbing’
unlike what American audiences are used to in the
genre predominantly due to another ‘British import’.
The show moved to Netflix in Aug 2018 and
succeeded as a binge-watchable show despite
skepticism as they changed the old tried and tested
recipe with the altered ‘cast’.

trademark by a brand closely related to content of this
show.
14. What?
In April 2018, we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of
this Japanese invention, by Yoshiaki Shiraishi (1914–
2001), who is also credited with another failed futuristic
invention in the same field.
This was born out of necessity in his understaffed
restaurant and rose to popularity in the 70s after display
at the Osaka World Expo and furthermore after the
Financial Crisis of the 90s.
It helps visitors who might be anxious about the language
barrier, and it has become something of a tourist
attraction in its own right, while minimising the scope for
social interaction unlike other fast-food outlets.
16. This show won People’s Choice The Revival Show of
2018 and its premise relies on stereotypes while also
attempting to address deep issues.

addictive even after a change in location and a new
group of hosts."

Answer cards – with content that’s “painfully
relatable, hilariously inappropriate, and 100% Shudh
Desi”.
22. According to lore, the X challenge is a viral game shared
on messaging services like WhatsApp that goads young
children into violence or even suicide.
Images of the devilish bird-lady supposedly pop up with
creepy messages and commands that are said to
escalate to extreme violence and horror which led to

thinking its a version of a seeming less sinful South-
Korean challenge.
X was subject to hot controversy in Summer 2017 in
parts of North India.
25. ID
Manish Chandra’s social commerce platform
Poshmark is a clothing reseller. It’s now the second-
most-popular iPhone shopping app in the United
States, and it has benefited from a growing consumer
comfort with secondhand goods.
Its platform links buyers with an array of sellers —
from a hipster offering up a boutique, barely-worn
jacket or an influencer experimenting with her own
fashion line.
He credits a recent cultural phenomena, a personal
brand for sparking his new-found success. What?
28. A Zimbabwean activist launched an online petition in
Dec 2018 calling on a large corporation to give up its
trademark for “_____ _____,” calling it to draw
attention to the appropriation of African culture.

the phrase is widely used in East Africa, especially the
coastal region as a response to greetings.
"It would be like trademarking 'good morning' or 'it is
raining cats and dogs' in the case of English.”
The petition claims it sets a terrible precedence and
sullies the very spirit of the term to begin with.
What common phrase, particularly relevant (again) in
2019?
30. FITB
In 2016, Ben & Jerry’s came out with an extra sweet
(and punny) ice cream to help "get big money out of
politics," expand voter access and voting rights,
participate in our democracy called ______-___.
The peppermint ice cream shares similar ideals with
the flavour ‘Bernie’s Yearning’, that is majorly mint,
oppressively covered by a thick solid chocolate disk
that represents the wealth of the one percent. In a
move of economic redistribution, the eater smashes
the disc and mixes it up with the other 99 percent.
FITB.
32. Give the alternative name
✖ 2013 Confederations Cup riots or Brazillian Autumn
has another name that is a play on a graphic novel
about a mysterious revolutionary Vigilante.
✖ This name originated when more than 60
protesters were arrested for carrying X as a home
remedy against the tear gas and pepper spray used
by police.

make bombs. Salad Dressings emerged as
alternatives.
✖ A Facebook page was created with the alt. Name
for the protest and stated: The 'Salad Uprising' has
begun.
34. Sufferers from Stendhal syndrome often feel
overwhelmed, anxious, and even nauseous when
seeing what they perceive to be immense beauty
(such as something in the natural world like a
beautiful sunset). The effects are relatively short-
lived and do not seem to require medical
intervention.
This is also known as Florence Syndrome where its
considered a ‘Tourist Disease.’
The most common cause of this, gives it another
name that is also a British TV Series we grew up
watching on Disney.
36. ID X
The term is derived from an old children's game called
Xstones (like a game of marbles), which takes its name
from the obsolete verb X, meaning "to dab" or "to pat."
It is also a 19th-Century American slang for ‘money in
small amounts.’
It is unclear as to how X claimed its current meaning but
it is a 20th-century development. X remains more
prevalent among the young and children.
In the UK and Australia, different words convey this
meaning.
… whenever he got an idea for a story, an article or a play … he jotted down a
note on [a penny postcard] and mailed it to himself. He was not only reminded
when it arrived, but it seems the postoffice stamp gave him some sort of X on
copyright.
— Claudia Cassidy, The Chicago Sunday Tribune, 10 June 1951
38. What?
To file this ‘request’, all one needs to do is fill a
simple form, with 4-5 alternatives in order of
preference, and pay a sum of Rs. 250 along with 18
per cent GST.
On February 27th, An office in Andheri, Mumbai was
bombarded with different variants of this request to
replicate a mid-January success of a similar nature.
What rather ‘insensitive’ and exploitative activity
was this ?
42. Which Award?
Dead or sterile.
Astounding misapplication of judgment.
Cause one's own demise.
Capable of sound judgment.
The event must be verified

chlorinating the pool. 88.7% of recipients have been
male. Been very popular on the internet since 1995.
This is also called the ‘Rusty Chromosome Award’.
What?
44. Funny or Die, a youtube channel released a mashup
of an epic crossover between a much adored
cinematic franchise and a super-hit critically
acclaimed period-drama series.
The title of the video is a perfect pun on the title
with reference to the franchise.
The character's humor (from the show) stands in
stark contrast to the events taking place in the video,
which are lot more dire and serious.
45. This pop culture trope derives from a real-life
psychiatric problem. Although this can affect people
of all genders, ages races and preferences, it is
mainly attributed to older white women and specific
manifestation of this problem, often feared by the
community.
A parasitical disease Toxoplasmosis that causes
neurological maladies such as schizophrenia is
found to be a factor in real life cases as a cause or
effect.
However, more and more women are claiming this
identity and embracing this future situation as ideal.
47. ID X

51. ID X
Following the attacks of 9/11 in 2001, there was a spike in
the purchase of a certain commodity.
Factories were operating at full capacity and pumping
more of this otherwise imported good with Made in USA
labels to capitalise/ ‘Do their Part’ in the dark days that
followed
Americans started buying X hours after the attacks. Wal-
Mart sold 116,000 units on that Tuesday. Every house
needed one.
Based on this data, the company quickly bought up the
available stock of Xs from every supplier it could reach.
Wal-Mart had effectively ‘monopolised’, and its
competitors were unable to restock their shelves.This
story has become something of a legend in operations
management communities.

What common phrase, particularly relevant (again) in
2019?
56. If we had a rupee for every-time we made this error,
we would be much richer. This common,mistake
under the influence of a certain google application,
costs us time, money and energy.
When approaching this ‘situation’ most of us have a
mini panic attack and such issues remain the reason
why the older generations remain skeptical of this
platform.However users abroad do not face this
dilemma.
In response to a tweet by a Delhi comic, Google said:
59. In July of 2017, the resurgence of new sexual abuse
allegations against R. Kelly prompted Atlanta Arts
Administrator, Oronike Odeleye to take action and
start a major hashtag campaign against the artist.
#XRKelly- X being an outcome sought.
Later, Spotify rolled out a specific feature on their
app, the first of its kind on any streaming platform
and it most likely is a response to this campaign.(Jan
2019)
This effective yet not-absolute feature then became a
major meme where people came together or apart in
using it. Artists like Ed Sheeran, Perry, Camila
Cabello were mentioned too.
