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.
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.

CHAPTER
THE STRANGE MAN’S ARRIVAL
ENDS
13. POINTS TO PONDER OVER
Why was Mrs. Hall so soft towards her guest?
Why did stranger want that nobody should visit him time
and again?
Do you feel curious to know about the stranger? What
kind of person he appear to be at start?
What kind of character Mrs. Hall appear to be?
14. Griffin:
He is the main character in this story. He is
described to be an albino college student who
majored in physics and medicine. During his
expirements he came across formulas that
causes himself to turn invisible. He ends up
becoming the burglar in the story.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
15. Mr. Marvel:
• This is the first man that Griffin
attempts to make his accomplice. He
is described to be short, fat and un
liked by all. Also the area tramp. He
betrays Griffin.
16. Dr Kemp:
Used to go to university with Griffin. He is
interested in the bizarre aspects of science.
Griffin comes Dr. Kemp in attempt to make
him his accomplice, and even though Dr. Kemp
acts as though he is agreement with Griffin, he

17. Teddy Henfrey:
• Teddy Henfrey is a clock repairman who Mrs.
Hall uses in attempt to find out more about
Griffin. But because Griffin doesn’t speak
much, Teddy begins rumors about Griffin
stating that he is wanted man.
18. Tone: Throughout the novel, you get
a sense of mystery, suspense and
often a bit of arrogance when the
author was speaking of Griffin.
LITERARY ELEMENTS
19. Theme: Corruption of Morals in the Absence of Social
Restriction
For example: For everything that Griffin did, he had
an excuse for it. When he killed his father he
excused it by saying that he was a “sentimental
fool”.
20. Conflict:
Throughout the novel many people are trying to
figure out Griffin in a whole. Why isn’t he showing
himself? What does he have to hide? Griffin shows to
have no compassion for anyone in his attempt to
survive invisible without others finding out. His main
conflict is finding an antidote to become visible. The
society’s conflict is finding out who is the burglar
that is breaking in and stealing.
21. Point-of-View:
In the first half of the story, it is told through
third person. Giving us the opportunity to meet
and get to know the characters and their inner
personality.
The second half Griffin takes over and gives us a
taste of his inner side, and his history. After
chapter 25, the story returns third person.
22. “He rarely went abroad by daylight, but at twilight he would go out muffled up invisibly,
whether
the weather were cold or not, and he chose the loneliest paths and those most over-
shadowed by trees and banks.”
• This quote reflects the irony that Griffin must
cover up invisibility by becoming invisible and
blending into his surroundings. (Page 21)
QUOTES
23. This story reflects a strong message. There are decisions often that
need to be made. But when in the process of deciding on your actions
you must weigh the advantages as well as the disadvantages of your
decision. You also must see how it will affect those around you. In the
novel Griffin didn’t think of the consequences of turning himself
invisible not only for himself as well as the society.
24. Sometimes called the father of modern science fiction, H.G. Wells
was born on September 21, 1866 in Bromley, Kent, England. His
father, a professional cricket player and shopkeeper, and his
mother, a former lady's maid, raised Wells with the idea that he
would find a place in the work world that they were accustomed. He
aspired to a different place in society.
BIOGRAPHY HG WELLS
25. When he was thirteen, he left school to become a draper's apprentice, a job
his family expected would be proper for a boy of his station. Then H.G. Wells
finally found a job as a teacher's assistant in a grammar school. Education and
academia suited him well. In 1884 he entered college with a scholarship to
study biology. He was able to study under one of the great biology teachers of
the time, Thomas Henry Huxley, and Wells graduated in 1888.
26. The writings of Jules Verne undoubtedly influenced Wells, and he wrote his
first novel, The Time Machine, partly in response to this new kind of literature
that Verne produced. The story appeared in various forms in magazines from
1888 to 1894 and was released in its current form in 1895. The book was
successful, and Wells did not need to teach or worry about money from that
time on.
27. Wells' early novels continued in the science fiction mode of The Time Machine. The Island of
Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The War Between the Worlds (1898)
cemented his position within the genre. For many readers, these early novels are the
extent of Wells' writing. He's the "time machine guy" or the "Martian guy." Wells, however,
wrote short stories, mainstream fiction and non-fiction essays his entire life, most of them
espousing in some form or another his views on humanity, society and the direction he saw
the world going. Some of these works were also science fictional in nature.
(The Time Machine)
28. CRITICAL ANALYSIS
It was a good read, and exceptionally short. The story depicts
that obsession of just about anything can cause insanity; it
caused a fictional character to kill and rob innocent people
only because he was invisible. The Invisible Man was a good
quality science-fiction book, and I would recommend it to my
peers.
