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.

“To make something new from something that
has been used before”
“To send (used newspapers, bottles, cans, etc.)
to a place where they are made into something
new”
“To use (something) again”

To Recycle
The environmental impacts generated by ever increasing growth of the population have been the subject of many studies in different countries. We are a consumerist society and, to fulfill our demands, the industry has to produce more. In order to produce more it utilizes more natural resources. Those resources are not limitless and if we do not find new ways to fill the global population needs and continue to use indiscriminately our natural resources, without caring for the preservation of it, the damages on the environment will be irreversible.
My purpose, through this presentation, is to raise awareness on my classmates for the importance of being a conscientious consumer. To convince, those that are not yet involved on this kind of action to join these efforts as well as to reinforce the significance of recycling to the ones already practicing it, and why we should take this kind of action in order to help in the preservation of our planet.
This presentation will approach the main aspects of the recycling process, this will include statistical facts on how much percentage of waste is recycled, the meaning of the word recycle, the benefits of it to the environment and also to society as a total, a brief explanation of the steps in the recycling process, what kinds of materials can and cannot be recycled as well as the materials that can be made from recycled content, the correct way to recycle specific kind of materials and the most important how we can collaborate for this entire process.
“Despite declines in fertility rates around the world, we expect population gains to remain strong enough to take us toward a global population of 10 billion,” said Jeffrey Jordan, president and CEO of PRB(Population Reference Bureau). “Significant regional differences remain, though. For example very low birth rates in Europe will mean population declines there while Africa’s population is expected to double.”
“Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling can benefit your community and the environment”.
“Midway Islands, unincorporated territory of the United States in the central Pacific Ocean, 1,300 miles (2,100 km) northwest of Honolulu. Near the western end of the Hawaiian archipelago, it comprises a coral atoll with a circumference of 15 miles (24 km) enclosing two main islands—Eastern (Green) and Sand islands. Its total land area is 2.4 square miles (6.2 square km). The climate is subtropical, with cool and wet winters and warm and dry summers”.
“MSW Management of the nation’s municipal solid waste. MSW Management of the nation’s municipal solid waste
Solid waste generation rates are rising fast, on pace to exceed 11 million tones per day by 2100, urban specialist Dan Hoornweg and his colleagues write in the journal Nature. 3.5 million tonnes per day in 2010
Compost is a mixture of various decomposing organic substances, as dead leaves or manure, used for fertilizing soil.”
“Recycling includes the three steps below, which create a continuous loop, represented by the familiar recycling symbol.
Step 1: Collection and Processing
There are several methods for collecting recyclables, including curbside collection, drop-off centers, and deposit or refund programs. Visit How do I recycle... Common Recyclables
After collection, recyclables are sent to a recovery facility to be sorted, cleaned and processed into materials that can be used in manufacturing. Recyclables are bought and sold just like raw materials would be, and prices go up and down depending on supply and demand in the United States and the world.
The recycling companies do not produce the final product that reaches the consumer but the raw material used in the industries to produce it
Step 2: Manufacturing
More and more of today's products are being manufactured with recycled content. Common household items that contain recycled materials include the following:
Newspapers and paper towels
Aluminum, plastic, and glass soft drink containers
Steel cans
Plastic laundry detergent bottles
Recycled materials are also used in new ways such as recovered glass in asphalt to pave roads or recovered plastic in carpeting and park benches.
Step 3: Purchasing New Products Made from Recycled Materials
You help close the recycling loop by buying new products made from recycled materials. There are thousands of products that contain recycled content. When you go shopping, look for the following:
Products that can be easily recycled
Products that contain recycled content
Below are some of the terms used:
Recycled-content product - The product was manufactured with recycled materials either collected from a recycling program or from waste recovered during the normal manufacturing process. The label will sometimes include how much of the content was from recycled materials.
Post-consumer content - Very similar to recycled content, but the material comes only from recyclables collected from consumers or businesses through a recycling program.
Recyclable product - Products that can be collected, processed and manufactured into new products after they have been used. These products do not necessarily contain recycled materials. Remember not all kinds of recyclables may be collected in your community so be sure to check with your local recycling program before you buy”.
“Where to recycle large electronic and electrical appliances?
Nicosia: Scandia only electronic products and electrical appliance's ( like refrigerators) and also when you buy a new product from them they take your old one to recycle
Cyprus does not have any program to recycle cooking oil or plastic bags
The most valuable recyclable product is aluminum which in the United states can go to a $2000 per ton

This presentation approached the Recycling problem, its beneficial impacts on the environment and to society as a total. I hope that I was able to reinforce its importance to those who already practice this, as well as to those who are not still a part of these efforts in favor of preserving the environment. It may seem like a minor effort, and many may consider that just recycling their own waste will not make a difference but in reality the ordinary changes from the part of all humanity are the ones that can guarantee a better planet for the future generations.
