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.

God of the sea
Poseidon is the brother of Zeus. After the overthrow of
their Father Cronus he drew lots with Zeus and Hades,
another brother, to share the power of the world. His
prize was to become lord of the sea. He was widely
worshipped by seamen. He married Amphitrite, a
granddaughter of the Titan Oceanus. He desired Demeter,
who asked him to make the most beautiful animal that the
world had ever seen, just to put him off. So, Poseidon
created the first horse. In some accounts, his first attempts
were unsuccessful, he created a variety of animals in his
quest and then created the first horse. His weapon is a
trident, which can shake the earth, and shatter any object.
He is the most powerful Olympian god, after Zeus.

another brother, to share the power of the world. He had
the worst draw and was made lord of the underworld,
ruling over the dead. He is a greedy god who is greatly
concerned with increasing his subjects. He is exceedingly
disinclined to allow any of his subjects leave. He is also
the god of wealth, due to the precious metals that mined
from the earth. He has a helmet that makes him invisible
and he rarely leaves the underworld. He is unpitying and
terrible, but not capricious. His wife is Persephone whom
Hades abducted. He is the King of the dead but, death
itself is another god, Thanatos.

Queen of the gods
Hera is Zeus wife and sister. The Titans Ocean and Tethys raised
her. She is the protector of marriage and takes special care of
married women. Hera's marriage was founded in strife with Zeus
and continued in strife. Zeus courted her unsuccessfully. Then he
changed himself into dishevelled cuckoo. Hera feeling sorry for the
bird held it to her breast to warm it. Zeus then transformed in his
normal form and took advantage of the opportunity he gained, and
raped her. Then she married him to cover her shame. Zeus was
being particularly overbearing to the other gods and Hera
convinced them to join in a revolt. Her part in the revolt was to
drug Zeus, and when she managed that, the gods bound the
sleeping Zeus to a couch, noticing to tie many knots. After that,
they began to quarrel over the next step.
Hera
10. Briareus overheard the arguments, full of gratitude to Zeus, Briareus
slipped in and try to untie the knots. Zeus sprang from the couch and
grabbed up his thunderbolt. The gods fell to their knees begging and
pleading for mercy. Then Zeus seized Hera and hung her from the sky with
gold chains. She wept in pain all night but none of the others dared to
interfere. Her weeping kept Zeus up and the next morning he agreed to
release her if she would swear never to rebel again. She didn’t have a
choice, so she agreed. Since she couldn’t rebel again, she often intrigued
against Zeus's plans and she was often able to outwit him. Most stories
concerning Hera have to do with her revenge for Zeus's infidelities. Her
sacred animals are the cow and the peacock. Her favourite city is Argos.
Symbols: peacock, cow, wedding ring

Goddess of home/hearth
Hestia is Zeus sister. She is a virgin goddess. She
does not have a distinct personality. She plays no

is carried before it is received into the family. Each
city had a public hearth sacred to Hestia, where the
fire was never allowed to go out.
Symbols: fireplace

the dog.

the pot, the rake, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot. She is
the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She is
Zeus's favourite child and she is allowed to use his
weapons including his thunderbolt. Her favourite city is
Athens. Her tree is the olive and the owl is her bird. She is
a virgin goddess.

lyre, of light and truth, who can not tell a lie. One of
Apollo's more important daily tasks is to harness his
chariot with four horses and drive the sun across the
sky. He is famous for his oracle at Delphi and people
use to travel to it from all over the Greek world to
divine the future. His tree is the laurel, his bird is the
crow and his animal is the dolphin.

Goddess of love and beauty
Aphrodite is the goddess of love, desire and beauty. In
addition to her natural gifts she has a magical girdle that
compels anyone she wishes to desire her. There are two
accounts of her birth. One says she is the daughter of
Zeus and Dione. The other goes back to when Cronus
castrated Uranus and tossed his severed genitals into the
sea. Aphrodite then arose from the sea foam on a giant
scallop and walked to shore in Cyprus. She is the wife of
Hephaestus. The myrtle is her tree, the dove, the swan,
and the sparrow are her birds.

born. She became associated with Hecate. The cypress is
her tree. All wild animals are scared to her and especially
the deer.
Symbols: moon, deer, silver bow and arrows

God of fire and forge
Hephaestus is the son of Zeus and Hera. Sometimes it is said
that Hera alone produced him and that he has no father. He is
the only god who is physically ugly and lame. Accounts as how
he became lame vary. Some say that Hera, upset by having an
ugly child, flung him from Mount Olympus into the sea,
breaking his legs. Others that he took Hera's side in an
argument with Zeus and Zeus flung him off Mount Olympus.
He is the god of fire and the forge. He is the smith and
armourer of the gods. He uses a volcano as his forge. He is the
patron god of both smiths and weavers. He is kind and peace
loving. His wife is Aphrodite. Sometimes his wife is identified
as Aglaia.
