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”.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. Section 1 Objectives
Understand spatial thinking and why it’s
important to geographers
Know the five themes of geography and the
six essential elements
Analyze the processes that shaped the
geographic regions of the world
3. What IS geography?
GGeeooggrraapphhyy is the study of eeaarrtthh in all its
variety
– PPhhyyssiiccaall geography: Land, water, plants,
and animals
– HHuummaann geography: Society, culture,
customs, religion, environment
Geography is both sscciieennccee and ssttoorryy.
Geographers do work that tells the story of all
humankind!
Let the Adventure Begin! (4:00)
4. Ask Geographic Questions
Geography is more than names of
places on a map. It involves spatial
thinking!
– Spatial thinking involves thinking about
the space of Earth’s surface, including
where places are located, and why they
are there!
– Geographers look at places and ask,
“Why is this location significant, or
important?”
5. Study Geographic Patterns
Geographic patterns are similarities
among places.
– Ex. Cities are often located near water.
Why?
6. Study Geographic Patterns
Many geographers
use computer-based
Geographic
Information
Systems, or GIS to
create maps and
analyze patterns with
data
GPS and GIS Basics (4:07)
7.
8. Five Themes of Geography
1) Location
– Determining where you’re at on the planet
Absolute location is the exact point where a place is
located (Ex. Kearney is located at 41°N, 99°W.)
Global Positioning System, or GPS, uses satellites to
find absolute location.
Relative location is where a place is in relation to other
places. (Ex. My house is three blocks from Sunrise.)
9. Five Themes of Geography
2) Place
– Physical and cultural characteristics of each
location
Ex. Steep rock walls in the Grand Canyon
3) Human-Environment Interaction
– How humans impact each other and the
environment
Ex. Changing rivers to build dams
4) Movement
– How people, goods, and ideas move
Ex. Settlement patterns, immigration, exile
5) Regions
– A group of places that have things in common
Ex. Central America, the Middle East

29. So why
does this
matter?
Here's one reason. Are we sending
messages we don't intend to send?
30. What if you thought your
world looked like this?
38. THE BIG
QUESTION:
Do you think the way we
portray the world
impacts how we see ourselves?
Why? How?
39. Political and Physical Maps
CCaarrttooggrraapphheerrss, or mapmakers, create
different kinds of maps for different
purposes
Political maps show features humans
have created: countries, states,
provinces, and cities, etc.
– Weird Borders (5:06)
40. Physical Maps
Physical maps show natural features of
physical geography
