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.
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”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1.
2. EARNEST HEMINGWAY

• During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group
of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first
important work, The Sun Also Rises (1926).
3. EARNEST HEMINGWAY
• Hemingway – himself a great sportsman – liked to portray soldiers, hunters,
bullfighters – tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set
against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this confrontation lose
hope and faith.
• In 1920 he was shifted to Toronto and started writing features for the Toronto Star and
Star Weekly created an interest in journalism in him.

writing

5. PLOT SUMMARY OF THE NOVEL:
• The story of an old fisherman, Santiago, lives in a small fishing village in Cuba. He is a
weathered fisherman and to most unfortunate he has not caught any fish for 84 days. On the
85th day he is determined to catch a big impressive fish.
• Santiago has a young partner, a boy named Manolin. Santiago has partnered with him for
years. Manolin started fishing with the old man at the age of five.
• Manolin has quite an emotional thread to the old man and therefore he is extremely loyal to
him. He cares old man and looks after his safety, food and health and also discusses the
latest developments in American baseball, especially the trials of the old man’s favourite
Joe DiMaggio.
• Manolin leaves Santiago with heavy hearts in order to respect his parents and takes the new
boat.
• He feels that his 85th day will be lucky for him. Alone in the water Santiago sets up his
fishing lines with the utmost precision on his old, rickety skiff.
6. • After a long entry into the sea, at noon, he prepares his line and drops them. He feels
something heavy tugging at one of his lines. Santiago realizes it is a marlin, a big fish.

Mako shark that Santiago manages to slay with the harpoon, but in the struggle he looses his
harpoon and lengths of valuable rope.
• By the time night falls, he continues to fight against the scavengers,
but all his efforts are in vain as they devour the marlin’s precious meat
leaving only skeleton, head and tail.
• He sails back to shore with the carcass of his Marlin.
• He is barely able to walk and slowly staggers back to his
hut, where he falls into deep sleep.
8. • The next morning, the crowd of fishermen gathers around the huge skeleton of a fish. They are amazed to see the huge
skeleton lashing to the boat. Unaware about the old man’s struggle, tourists at a nearby café observe the remains of the
giant marlin and mistake it for a shark.
9. STYLE AND TECHNIQUE OF THE NOVEL:
When Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954, the committee cited his “powerful style-
forming mastery of the art of modern narration.”
• sophisticated patterns, repeated images, allusions, repeated sounds, rhythms, words and sentence
structure.
• Use of colloquial, objective, and unemotional language: Feature of Naturalism Ex. although the
old man suffers a good deal, the descriptions of him do not rise to emotional heights.
• use of informal speech: relaxed and powerful and putting the reader immediately to their ease.
• language of any simple and common fishermen where they people have no time to carefully-
chosen and formal words.
• Objective narration: describes the scenes as though he were neutral onlooker. The reader must
form its own opinion about the story.
10. STYLE AND TECHNIQUE OF THE NOVEL:
• Relying on blending narrative modes to achieve a shifting psychic distance: story begins
and ends with a third-person omniscient narration that does not dip into Santiago’s
thoughts.
• The beginning and end happens on the land and the significant struggle of Santiago
happens on the water.
• Hemingway’s vocabulary is sparing: suggests experience and actions behind the words.
Restricted use of adjectives.
• Use of simple and unspectacular verbs: use of the verb ‘to be’ For instance, “ It is hard
on the right hand. But he is used to punishment.”
• Hemingway ignores sidetracks and avoid structural complication. Mostly he used simple
and compound sentences.
• The central theme is conveyed by the author by repeatedly yoking religious conviction
with a belief in Luck: an appropriate sketch of Cuba’s catholic culture, affection of
games of chance
11. STYLE AND TECHNIQUE OF THE NOVEL:
• Hemingway presents religion and luck parallel as both rely on ritual and have the
power to bring optimism, dreams, faith, absorption and resolution.
• to support these repeated images and allusions he used proper sentence
structures that signal a kind of ritual or catechism.
• To conclude: swift, vivid action, the exact use of words, the exact
description and perfect sentence construction Significantly, using the raw
language of everyday life into literature,
12. SYMBOLISM IN THE NOVEL:
• The sea:
• A symbol of vast, limitless stage of life and the unpredictability of the world
around it.
• Santiago’s inner world where the struggle between his eternal enemy and friend is
continued.
• Sea is characteristically female for him which comes with reference of el mar.
• She(Sea) provides the opportunities that rule his existence and livelihood and he
understands that.
• Marlin:
• Marlin works as a force throughout the novel.
• The struggle between the old man and the fish blurs the “hunter and hunted”
relationship between them and brings them together on equal level of friendship.
13. •Allegory of Jesus:
• Hemingway through the character of Santiago represents Christ as a
man who has been perfected by his inner struggle
and courage rather than Christ as
preordained deity.
• Christ as a God has been presented as
a man of the contemporary time and is
given the new meaning.
• “He has not evolved new moral values; rather, he has reaffirmed the
man’s oldest ones- courage, love, humility, solidarity, and
interdependence.”: Clinton Burhans
